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 Cary:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Healthy Home Cary | (919) 469-4000 | 316 N. Academy Street, Cary, NC 27513 | The Town of Cary funds this program with the aim to assist low-income homeowners to carry out basic home improvements to their property to make the home safe for habitation. Priority is given to senior citizens to assist them in safely aging in place in their own homes. Services offered include correcting hazardous structural conditions, eliminating blight and improving accessibility for disabled residents. Applicants are required to submit proof of income to prove that they qualify for assistance. |
| Cary Senior Center | (919) 469-4081 | 120 Maury O’Dell Place, Cary, NC 27513 | The Cary Senior Center is funded by the city of Cary and donations from the local community. The center hosts a variety of social and recreational activities for seniors over the age of 55, including fitness classes, volunteer opportunities, arts and crafts, language classes, educational classes and clubs for seniors. It can be hired as a venue for private celebrations and events. There is no charge for most of the activities at the center but a small donation may be requested to cover costs for some options. |
| Go Triangle Regional Transit | (919) 485-7433 | 901 Slater Rd Durham, NC 27703 | Go Cary is the public transport system in Cary and it provides certain transport options specifically for senior citizens. Those who are over the age of 60 can register for door-to-door transport, which is a shared ride service that picks riders up and takes them to specific destinations. There is a small charge for using this service, but financial aid can be arranged if required. Senior discounts are available for using the regular bus routes. All buses are fitted with wheelchair ramps and drivers are trained in assisting those with disabilities. |
| Trash Collection Assistance | (919) 469-4000 | 316 N. Academy Street, Cary, NC 27513 | Seniors who are unable to bring their recycling or garbage cans to the curb for pick-up can apply for assistance with this task. A doctor’s letter is required indicating that the senior is physically incapable of moving their own garbage cans. Once the request is approved, assistance will be provided by the collection service on the required days. |
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.
