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 Clifton:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assisted Community Residential Services (ACRS) | (703) 383-8500 | 8221 Willow Oaks Corporate Drive, Fairfax, VA 22031 | Seniors in Clifton have access to Fairfax County’s Assisted Community Residential Services (ACRS) program to help them remain safely in their own homes. ACRS pays many of the costs of care for seniors in Clifton who need caregiver support or home health assistance. The program also helps caregivers pay for adult day care and respite care. |
| Department of Family Services Community Support Unit | (703) 777-0353 | 801 E. Main Street, Richmond, VA 23219 | The Virginia Department of Family Services pays for many of the expenses seniors incur while living at home in Clifton. State funds flow through the department’s Community Support Unit (CSU) to provide services on a local level, including: |
| VirginiaSAVES Green Community Program | (804) 344-5484 | 411 E. Franklin #203, Richmond, VA, 23219 | Seniors in Clifton can get help paying for weatherization and other efficiency upgrades to their homes through the VirginiaSAVES rebate program. This program pays Clifton seniors a rebate for repairing or upgrading their home’s insulation or HVAC controls. VirginiaSAVES also offers rebates for solar installation and alternative energy optimization. |
| Fairfax Taxi Voucher Program | (703) 222-9764 | 12011 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, VA 22035 | Clifton seniors have several options for local senior-friendly transportation. ADA-compliant vehicles operate under Taxi Assist, Dial-a-Ride and Seniors-on-the-Go! and enable access to local points of interest, as well as transportation for seniors and caregivers to and from medical appointments. Seniors can request transit membership through Fairfax County offices. |
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.
