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 Midlothian:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|
Weatherization Assistance Program (Project HOMES) | (804) 233-2827 | 88 Carnation Street, Richmond, VA 23225 | This program is designed to help seniors enhance the energy efficiency of their homes, through providing services, such as additional insulation, improved weather-stripping, and the repair of furnaces, air conditioners and water tanks. Participants need to meet income requirements but this program is free for those who qualify. |
Live Well, Virginia! | (804) 662-9333 | 1610 Forest Avenue, Suite 100, Henrico, VA 23229 | This program provides workshops at many locations throughout the state to enhance health and safety for seniors. They offer programs such as “A Matter of Balance” to help prevent falls, and a Chronic Disease Self-management Program (CDSMP). |
Senior Connections | (804) 343-3000 | 24 East Cary Street, Richmond, VA 23219 | Senior Connections offers a variety of programs and services designed to help seniors stay in their homes. Some of these services include: |
Office on Aging and Persons with Disabilities | (804) 646-1082 | 701 North 25th Street, Richmond, VA 23223-6539 | The Office on Aging and Persons with Disabilities is a branch of the Social Services department that works to increase the access and awareness of seniors to programs and services. Some of the services they offer are: |
YMCA Aging Strong | (804) 200-6070 | 919 Cary Street, Richmond, VA 23219 | The Aging Strong program focuses on group exercise, socialization, brain games and fall prevention, all designed to keep seniors healthy and strong. It runs for 2 hours, twice a week, and is free to Y members. Non-members can pay $20 per month. Subsidies may be available for YMCA memberships. |
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.
