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.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Jackson Heights:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|
The New York Foundation for Senior Citizens | (212) 962-7559 | 11 Park Place, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10007 | This is an agency with a comprehensive array of resources for seniors in New York. Foremost, they help match seniors who need affordable housing to rentals or co-ops in their preferred area. It also helps those with limited mobility find accessible housing, as well as homeless placement services.

For those with homes, the organization also offers repairs and safety assistance. |
Service Program for Older People | (212) 787-7120 | 302 West 91st Street, New York, NY 10024 | For the elderly who need mental help services, the Service Program for Older People (SPOP) offers services in the Queens and Jackson Heights area. From bereavement counseling and personalized recovery services to substance abuse treatment, the agency provides group support for those in need. For seniors with severe mental illness, SPOP also has personalized therapy, either home-based for those unable to travel or appointments at one of the area’s satellite offices. For caregivers, this organization also has community support and group therapy, including respite care connections. |
City Meals on Wheels | (212) 687-1234 | 355 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10017 | This program provides meals to seniors aged 60 years and older who are unable to prepare nutritious meals for themselves.

Benefits are based on income, and most of the organization is volunteer-based. |
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.
