Home care’s non-medical services and home health care’s medical support generate the same median monthly fee of $5,339. Other care option costs reflect the level and frequency of care, which is why adult day health care, at $2,282, is more affordable than assisted living at $5,948. Nursing homes provide hospital-like levels of care, resulting in a median fee of $11,467 for a semiprivate room.

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.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Catharpin:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels | (703) 792-6374 | 5 County Complex Court, Suite 240, Prince William, VA 22192 | Catharpin seniors may be eligible to receive nutritious, prepared meals Monday through Friday from the nearest senior center.

They recruit volunteer carpenters, plumbers, electricians, gardeners and other professionals to work at no charge to the homeowner. Funds and materials are sourced from the county government as well as various private and non-profit organizations. The organization also provides fall assessment screenings to help seniors reduce their chances of getting injured. |
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.
