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 Westchester County:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| RideConnect | (914) 242-7433 | 75 Route 35, Suite 6S-5, Katonah, NY 10536 | RideConnect, a Family Services of Westchester initiative, provides free transportation services to residents aged 60 and over throughout Westchester and southern Putnam Counties. Volunteers take seniors to medical appointments, shopping and other excursions. This program also offers The Weekly Shopper, a free 11-person bus service transporting residents on weekly or semiweekly shopping trips.

Three times a year, nearly 100 seniors receive special holiday packages and hour-long visits from volunteers. This program also offers Shabbat Shalom at Home four times a year. Other interactive opportunities include: |
| Livable Communities | (914) 995-2000 | 148 Martine Ave., White Plains, NY 10601 | Westchester County’s volunteer-run Livable Communities has nine regional sites and aims to help seniors aged 55 and older remain independent and engaged.

| Weatherization Referral Assistance Program (WRAP) | (914) 813-6300 | 148 Martine Ave., White Plains, NY 10601 | Through Westchester County’s Department of Senior Programs and Services, WRAP provides up to $5,000 per household to help needy seniors aged 60 and older make their homes more energy-efficient.

| Nutrition Program | (914) 995-2000 | 148 Martine Ave., White Plains, NY 10601 | Westchester County’s Nutrition Program brings meals to area residents aged 60 and older. Approved nutrition centers distribute hot meals five or more days each week, and eligible homebound seniors receive meals at home. Participants must register in advance, and a small donation is requested. In addition to hot lunches, seniors have access to nutrition counseling and medical nutrition therapy. |
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.
