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.
Aging at home can be challenging, but there are many nonprofits willing to help for little to no cost. The following table includes organizations that operate in La Marque. There’s help with providing meals, preparing taxes and making homes energy efficient. Seniors needing legal help can also get expert advice, and older homeowners may qualify for property tax exemptions.

| Weatherization Services | (800) 621-5746 | The Greater East Texas Community Action Program (GETCAP) provides weatherization services to La Marque's homeowners and renters.

| AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program | Locator of Multiple Centers | Each tax season, IRS-certified volunteers trained by AARP help seniors prepare their taxes. The volunteers operate from centers where seniors can drop off their documents, or they can work with clients over the phone. Centers may change, so it's prudent to use the locator each year to find the nearest one. |
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.
