Some seniors may find that nursing home care is more suited to their medical needs than home care. In Lorton, a semiprivate room in a nursing home is over twice as expensive as home care. Assisted living care, at $5,948 a month, represents a smaller but still significant price increase over home care. Adult day health care, at $2,822 a month, is the most affordable option; however, its lower level of medical support may not be suitable for certain seniors.

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 Lorton:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cooling Assistance and Fan Care | (703) 449-8689 | 12011 Government Center Parkway, Suite 708, Fairfax, VA 22035 | This summer program offers free fans for low-income residents of Fairfax County who are age 60 and over and need a way to cool off. Once a resident receives a fan, it’s theirs to keep. The county also offers assistance with repairing air conditioners and other parts of cooling systems. |
| Home Energy Solutions | (434) 227-4666 | 3040 Williams Drive, Suite 200, Fairfax, VA 22031 | The Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) is a non-profit community-based organization that provides seniors in Lorton with home energy solutions. They help homeowners find the best matches for projects like weatherization, solar power and energy assessments. Seniors can contact LEAP by phone, email, mail or social media. Services are priced according to each senior’s needs and income. |
| Home Repair for the Elderly | (703) 246-5100 | 3700 Pender Drive, Suite 300, Fairfax, VA 22030-6039 | The Fairfax County Department of Housing and Community Development offers a program that helps moderate and low-income seniors in Lorton with home modifications. At no charge, they provide a week’s worth of labor from a crew and up to $500 for materials. This crew makes sure that the elderly resident can live comfortably and safely in their own home. They can perform everything from door replacements to railing installation. If an emergency like a roof leak or broken heater occurs, expedited service is available. |
| Lorton Community Action Center Emergency Assistance Program | (703) 339-5161 | 9504 Richmond Highway, Lorton, VA 22079 | Provided by the Lorton Community Action Center, this emergency assistance program can help low-income seniors pay for housing, utility bills and other living expenses when all other options have been exhausted. The program offers one-on-one assistance to help seniors get through hard times. They also provide guidance for locating other resources. |
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.
