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 Media:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| County Office of Services for the Aging | (610) 490-1300 | 1510 Chester Pike, Suite 250, Eddystone, PA 19022 | COSA is the designated Area Agency on Aging for Delaware County and helps administer government services for residents 60 years of age and older. The office aims to help seniors avoid placement in nursing homes by connecting them with resources that can help them age in place for as long as possible, with its work particularly focusing on the needs of the socially isolated or economically disadvantaged. |
| Surrey Services | (610) 566-0505 | 302 S. Jackson Street, Media, PA 19063 | This community-based nonprofit organization serves the needs of Media seniors through an array of programs that provide social, educational and fitness opportunities. Low-impact Gentle Stretch classes are held three times a week, with yoga and tai chi available for more active seniors. Bingo games and trivia contests give participants a chance to enjoy some friendly competition. Surrey Services volunteers and staff also place phone calls to homebound seniors to check in and provide social connections. |
| Senior Victim Services | (610) 627-2292 | 20 S. Olive Street, Suite 303 Media, PA 19063-3228 | This branch of the Delaware County district attorney’s office works to support the rights of senior crime victims in the area. Seniors 55 years and up can contact Senior Victim Services for counseling, guidance and assistance, including accompaniment to court appearances if they have been a victim of a crime. Concerned third parties can also file a report with the department on behalf of a senior who they believe to be a victim or at risk of becoming a victim of crime. |
| Meals on Wheels | (610) 566-4211 | 301 Meetinghouse Ln, Media, PA 19063 | Volunteers from this nonprofit organization deliver meals to seniors who are unable to leave their homes or prepare food for themselves. Every weekday, participants can receive one hot meal and one cold meal intended for refrigeration. While each meal carries a suggested donation, payment for the service is not mandatory. |
| PENNDOT | (717) 783-8025 | Bureau of Public Transportation, 400 North St., Seventh Floor, P.O. Box 3151, Harrisburg, PA 17105-3151 | The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation maintains two major initiatives that help state residents 65 years of age and older get around their local areas. The first provides no-cost rides on local public transit; the second is a shared-ride program that allows seniors to set up curb-to-curb transportation at a significantly reduced fare of 15%. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes 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.
