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.
Long-Term Care Insurance: Long-Term Care Insurance covers expenses related to senior care, including in-home care. Depending on the policy type, beneficiaries may receive a cash payment to use towards long-term care or reimbursement for qualifying long-term care expenses. Note that there are limitations- typically a maximum benefit of $150 per day- and exact coverage terms vary depending on the exact policy, so always check the details.
Medicare: Medicare does not cover in-home care because it is classified as custodial, or non-medical, care. However, some Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, which offer expanded benefits, may cover in-home custodial care.
Medicaid: Medicaid coverage of in-home care varies between different states because it is not a federally mandated benefit. Currently, all states cover some in-home care either through their standard Medicaid or a waiver program. The specific coverage rules are set individually by each state.
Veterans’ Benefits: The Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly cash payment that beneficiaries can use to pay for senior care, including in-home care services. To qualify for A&A, Veterans must already receive the VA pension and meet several additional requirements, including needing assistance with the activities of daily living.Contact the Department of Veterans Affairs to learn more.
Reverse Mortgages: Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are federally insured loans that are available to homeowners age 62 and over. Reverse mortgages allow you to access a portion of your home’s equity in cash, tax free. Many seniors use reverse mortgages to finance their care expenses, including in-home care. Note that although there are no monthly payments due on reverse mortgage loans, borrowers do have to repay the loan once the last surviving homeowner passes away, moves, or sells the home.
Bellaire’s seniors can call on support from a number of government agencies and nonprofits, each dedicated to helping them live more comfortably. The following examples show how to get help if assistance with bills, cooking and home repairs are needed. There are also several homestead tax exemptions available, depending on the senior’s circumstances.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels | (713) 533-4978 | Operated by Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston, the program delivers freshly prepared and nutritionally balanced meals to homebound adults aged 60 and over throughout Harris County who can't prepare their own food or don't have someone to cook for them. Typically, meals are delivered on weekdays to be eaten that day, but the program also delivers weekend meals and a full week of breakfasts for the most vulnerable seniors. It also delivers food for pets. |
| Texas Weatherization Assistance Program | (512) 475-3800 | The Texas Weatherization Assistance program helps adults aged 60 and older whose incomes fall within the federal poverty guidelines. As of 2021, this is $19,320, before taxes, for a one-person household. To make homes more energy-efficient and reduce fuel consumption and costs, the program's providers may insulate attics, crawl spaces and walls, fix damaged doors and windows and replace or repair faulty furnaces and boilers. |
| Home Repair Program | (832) 927-4957 | The Harris County Home Repair Program helps make homes safe and comfortable for residents aged 62 and over and people with disabilities. To qualify, the senior must be the sole homeowner and have countable assets of no more than $40,000 and an annual income not exceeding 80% of the state median income for major repairs and 50% for minor repairs. Depending on the senior's income, repairs may be funded by grants or a low-interest loan. |
| Homestead Tax Exemptions | (713) 957-7800 | Harris County offers several tax exemptions for seniors who own the homes in which they reside. For example, adults aged 65 and older automatically receive a school district exemption of $10,000, with the additional benefit of school taxes not increasing unless the home is significantly altered. Bellaire grants tax exemptions of $135,000 for residents over 65 and the disabled. Veterans deemed 100% disabled due to active service are entitled to claim 100% tax exemption on their homes. |
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.
