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 Delaware County:
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Home Weatherization Program | (610) 521 8770 | This program, which is managed by the Community Action Agency, serves low-income residents who rent or own a property within the county. The program, which increases energy efficiency in the home comes at no extra cost to people on Social Security Disability and others who qualify for the program. Seniors are given special consideration. Services include energy usage evaluation, attic insulation, heater service and window and door repair. |
| Senior Community Services | (610) 237 8100 | This established nonprofit agency offers an array of programs designed to keep seniors active, healthy and independent. Services for low-income seniors include home delivery of meals, assistance with daily hygiene, social activities such as board games and visits with therapy dogs. |
| Aging Waiver Program | (610) 490 1300 | Catering for seniors 60 and older, the Aging Waiver Program is an alternative to nursing home care, providing in-home services for the elderly. All services are funded through Medicaid waivers. Seniors who wish to apply for the program need to be Pennsylvania residents and meet nursing facility requirements. If eligible, seniors can access services at no cost. Services offered include medical services, nursing services, nutrition advice, transportation and recreational activities. |
| Meals on Wheels of Delaware County, Inc. | (610) 566 4211 | Friendly volunteers who work for this nonprofit organization deliver nutritious meals to the homes of senior citizens in Delaware County. Meals On Wheels of Delaware County, which has been in operation for over 40 years, offers reliable service at a minimal cost. Two meals a day are provided, one hot and one cold, from Monday to Friday. Long-term and temporary options are available for seniors who are convalescing from recent operations or illness. |
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.
