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.
Alexandria retirees have access to a number of free and low-cost resources in the local area. These organizations provide information, advice and support on a range of senior-related issues designed to help older adults remain safely and comfortably in their own homes for as long as possible.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Aging & Adult Services | (703) 746-5999 | Serving as Alexandria’s local Agency on Aging, the Aging & Adult Services office provides support to the city’s older adults. Seniors can access advice on financial assistance programs, Medicare, long-term care, legal issues, nutrition and health. The organization also provides information on housing-related issues, including subsidized housing, homeownership assistance and home modification programs that help seniors adapt their homes and enable them to live safely and independently. |
| DOT Para-Transit | (703) 836-4414, ext. 116 | Seniors who have difficulty using or are unable to use public transportation can apply for the DOT Para-Transit, a door-to-door transportation service for journeys in and around Alexandria. Eligible residents can schedule free one-way trips within the city or pay a small fee for journeys outside the city limits. |
| City of Alexandria Tax Relief Programs | (703) 746-4800 | Alexandria adults aged 65 and older or who are permanently disabled may be eligible for the city’s Tax Relief Programs. Seniors who own a vehicle and qualify for the Personal Property Tax Relief Program could be exempt from paying property tax on their cars. Those eligible for the Real Estate Tax Relief Program receive partial or full relief on property taxes. Potential applicants and their households must meet certain financial criteria for both programs, including income and assets limits. |
| Home Rehabilitation Energy Efficiency Loan Program | (703) 746-3091 | Low-income Alexandrians who reside in their own homes can apply for the Home Rehabilitation Energy Efficiency Loan Program. The program provides interest-free loans to help seniors pay for improvements to make their homes more energy-efficient, such as insulation, air sealing and more efficient heating and cooling systems. |
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.
