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.
West Grove’s seniors don’t need to deal with issues on their own as there are numerous non-profits in Chester County who can help them overcome difficulties. The resources listed here can make homes more safe and comfortable while also reducing energy costs, as well as lowering the tax burden and providing healthy and nutritionally-balanced meals to seniors struggling to cook for themselves.

| Meals on Wheels of Chester County | (610) 430-8500 | Meals on Wheels of Chester County purchase meals for seniors from 13 different providers in the region, including hospitals and restaurants.

The centers also organize live entertainment and regular trips. |
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.
