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 to pay 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 Pittsburgh:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snow Angels | (412) 255-0846 | 441 Grant Street, 5th Floor, Pittsburgh, PA 15219 | Snow Angels is a program run by the City of Pittsburgh Community Affairs Program. The system pairs seniors over the age of 60 and those with disabilities with volunteers who clear their sidewalks and driveways after a snowfall. The aim of the program is to make the sidewalks safer during the winter months and to assist those who cannot clear the snow on their own. There is no charge for the snow clearing service, and volunteers will assist after every major snowfall in the year. |
| Senior Centers | Multiple Locations | Multiple Location | The City of Pittsburgh Department of Parks and Recreation runs a number of senior centers throughout the city. These centers offer a range of social and recreational activities to seniors over the age of 60. Many of the centers provide hot meals to seniors who are attending activities, and the centers act as a serving place for congregate meal programs in the city. There is no charge for taking part in any of the activities offered or eating the meals, but donations are always appreciated. Activities offered by the centers include fitness classes, bingo and other games, arts and crafts, computer classes and field trips to local attractions. |
| Meals on Wheels | Multiple Locations | Multiple Locations | Meals on Wheels Southwest PA is a nonprofit organization that delivers meals to homebound seniors in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. Volunteers deliver a hot meal to seniors at noon every day from Monday to Friday. Additional frozen meal packs are available for consumption over the weekend. There is a small charge for each meal, but financial aid is available for those who cannot afford the payment, and no senior will ever be denied food by the organization. Volunteers check on the seniors when delivering food, and they will notify the relevant authorities if anything is amiss. Special diets can be accommodated if requested in advance. To be eligible for the program, seniors must be over the age of 60 and unable to prepare meals for themselves. |
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.
