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.
The organizations and programs in the following chart work to support the lives of homebound seniors. Some help seniors navigate the often-confusing bureaucracy surrounding long-term care health insurance, while others offer direct or indirect financial support.
Resource | Contact | Service |
---|---|---|
Salt Lake County Aging & Adult Services | (385) 468-3200 | This is the official Area Agency on Aging for Salt Lake City and runs a number of programs that assist seniors. Its services include Meals on Wheels, which provides homebound seniors with weekly hot meals, and the Community Care Transitions Program, which helps seniors understand their long-term care options and pay for home care through the Medicaid Aging Waiver. |
Utah Assistive Technology Program | (801) 887-9390 | The UATP allows seniors to find gently used, heavily discounted mobility equipment by sourcing its inventory from local donations. Devices available from the organization include power wheelchairs and scooters, as well as manually powered walkers. While the items are technically free, a low service fee is charged to reflect the cost of refurbishing the equipment. |
Utah Community Action | (801) 359-2444 | UCA is the contact point for multiple programs that help keep senior and low-income Salt Lake City residents safe in their homes. It offers emergency assistance with heating and gas bills, as well as a weatherization program that can indirectly lower such bills by making homes more energy-efficient. |
Utah Circuit Breaker | (801) 851-8109 | This government program allows low-income senior homeowners and renters to receive partial refunds on either property tax or rent, depending on their living situation. As of 2022, the abatement amount is $1,061 per year for rent relief and $1,110 per year for property tax relief. In both cases, applicants must have made less than $35,807 in the previous year to qualify. |
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.
