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.
Although living at home is normally the preference of most seniors, it can sometimes present challenges. Fortunately, there are many agencies and organizations that make aging in place affordable, comfortable and safe for Brooklyn’s older citizens.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| NYC Department for the Aging | (212) 244-6469 | The NYC Department of Aging manages multiple resources to support Brooklyn's seniors. They include food assistance programs that can help older citizens get the vitamins, minerals and nutrients vital to their health. The department's medicare specialists can help adults aged 64 and older determine the most appropriate and affordable plans for their long-term health care needs. Additionally, the financial section can discuss burial cost options. |
| Weatherization Assistance Program | (518) 474-5700 | The Weatherization Assistance Program aims to help seniors on low incomes reduce their energy costs and make their homes safer by paying for home improvements that help them use energy more efficiently. It's available to homeowners and renters, although the latter will need the owner's authorization before works can begin. Works can include sealing points of air leakage/intrusion, insulating attics and walls, repairing or replacing doors and windows and fixing underperforming heating systems. |
| Senior Citizen Homeowners' Exemption | 311 | Homeowners aged 65 and older with incomes not exceeding its guidelines can apply for the Senior Citizen Homeowners' Exemption. It can lessen tax burdens by reducing the taxable value of their homes. The reduction in the assessed value is determined by the total household income and ranges from 5-50%. The applicant's location per the area's school district also factors into the assessment. Seniors can only apply for one property only and it must be their primary residence. |
| Home Energy Assistance Program | (212) 331-3126 | The program helps renters and homeowners with qualifying low incomes pay their heating and utility bills. The program also provides immediate help in emergencies, such as a disconnect notice from a vital utility such as electricity. Some seniors automatically qualify for assistance, such as SSI recipients living alone. The Utility Assistance Program is similar, although its purpose is to help seniors in neglected or unsafe homes. Some recipients may also be eligible for a cash grant. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes 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.
