READ MOREDue to its status as a borough of New York City, Queens shares the city’s average monthly home care cost of $5,529, per Genworth Financial’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey. That means costs in the Astoria area are $572 higher than the national average and $190 per month above the New York state average. Seniors looking to pay less may want to head north into places like Poughkeepsie, Kingston, and Albany. Cost-conscious seniors should probably avoid upstate cities like Syracuse and Rochester, where costs increase by $191 to $382 per month.

Home care costs in Astoria average $191 less per month than the light medical care offered by home health care, and $221 less than assisted living arrangements. For seniors who are mobile, adult day health care services outside the home provide a much more budget-friendly solution. Those seniors who require intensive care will be paying a much more substantial price for nursing home care.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
