Adult day health care, which is the least expensive of competing long-term care options in the state, provides supervision and support in a group setting during traditional working hours. Moving into an assisted living community is another option for seniors looking to spend time with peers as they age. Seniors who need significant medical support often choose to move into a nursing home instead, which is the most expensive choice and costs more than twice as much as home care.Â

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 Dunn Loring:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Department of Social Services Energy Assistance | (703) 324-7329 | 12000 Government Center Pkwy., Fairfax, VA 22035 | The Energy Assistance Program works with low-income households to cover heating and electricity bills in times of need. It also helps to pay for weatherization and cooling costs that help to prevent heat and air from escaping the home, thus reducing energy costs. |
| Meals on Wheels | (703) 324-7948 | 12011 Government Center Pkwy., Suite 708, Fairfax, VA 22035 | Meals on Wheels provides healthy food to seniors who aren’t able to prepare meals for themselves. It delivers two meals per day, five days per week. Seniors can rely on this service to ensure they receive adequate nutrition on a regular basis. |
| Community Housing Partners (CHP) | (540) 260-9039 | 448Â NE Depot St., Christiansburg, VA 24073 | CHP helps low-income households across the state to weatherize their homes and provides families and individuals with information that helps them to reduce energy costs. Those in need of affordable housing can also contact this organization for assistance. |
| Home Repair for the Elderly | (703) 246-5100 | 3700 Pender Dr., Fairfax, VA 22030 | Fairfield County provides this program for low- and moderate- income older adults who need home modifications in order to age in place. The county will pay for one week of labor and materials up to $500. |
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.
