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.
There are many free and low-cost resources in Allen that can support seniors living in their own homes. This list includes help with home repairs, transportation, tax relief and freshly prepared meals.
| Resource | Contact | Service | |||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Homestead Exemptions | (972) 547-5020 | Collin County provides several homestead exemptions for residents, with some applicants able to receive more than one simultaneously. The Residence Homestead is available to every homeowner, while those with disabilities can also apply for the Disabled Homestead, and seniors who served in the armed forces can claim the Disabled Veteran or Survivor exemption. Adults aged 65+ are eligible for a Tax Affidavit Deferral, which allows them to postpone taxes collected on their residences up to 181 days after their final day of ownership or occupation. | |||||||||||||||
| Section 504 Home Repair Program | (254) 742-9770 | USDA Rural Development provides loans and grants to Allen homeowners who occupy their residences. They can be offered to applicants who can't get assistance elsewhere due to their very low incomes, which the program calculates based on Collin County's median. Loans can be up to $40,000 and repaid over 20 years at 1% fixed interest. Grants of up to $10,000 are available to adults aged 62+ who must use them solely to fix health and safety issues in their homes. If the homeowner sells the home within 3 years of receiving a grant, they must repay it in full. | |||||||||||||||
| Meals on Wheels Collin County | (972) 562-6996 | Meals on Wheels Collin County is a nonprofit that delivers meals on weekdays to homebound seniors. All meals are designed to provide beneficiaries with at least one-third of their recommended daily nutritional needs. The menu is changed regularly, with meals typically including a meat dish (or non-meat alternative), vegetables, rice or pasta and fruit. A quart of milk is also delivered once per week. Additionally, the program provides seniors with a box containing shelf-stable items they can use in emergencies, such as when the driver can't deliver due to bad weather. | |||||||||||||||
| Collin County Rides Program | (214) 828-6717 | The City of Allen and DART combine their resources to provide qualifying Allen residents with a taxi debit card to pay for rides anywhere within Collin County for any purpose. To apply, the resident must be aged 65+ or have a disability. As an example, the beneficiary adds $50 to their card and the program contributes $150.

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.
