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.
Hicksville seniors have multiple resources available to help them save on costs. The following table contains energy assistance, tax exemption and nutritional programs to help older adults receiving home care enjoy a positive quality of life.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Home Energy Assistance Program | (516) 227-8519 | Through this program abbreviated HEAP, seniors can receive help with heating and cooling bills. The Nassau County Office for the Aging can take senior applications for energy assistance. Eligibility is based on factors including age, income, and location. |
| Weatherization Assistance Program | (631) 471-1215 ext. 155 | Qualifying seniors may be able to receive home repairs and modifications. The improvements made through this program are designed to increase energy efficiency and decrease energy costs. Applications are taken on a first-come, first-serve basis and there are eligibility requirements. An energy audit is performed prior to weatherization services. |
| Senior Property Tax Exemption | (516) 571-1500 | Older adults in Hicksville may qualify for a property tax exemption. Applications are filed through the Nassau County Department of Assessment. Exemptions are partial and may range from 5 to 50% based on eligibility. |
| Meals on Wheels | (516) 739-1292 | Nassau County seniors, including those in Hicksville, can receive meal delivery to their homes five days a week. There are some requirements, such as seniors must be 60 or over and unable to leave the house without assistance. |
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.
