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 Stafford:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stafford County Energy Assistance Program | (540) 658-8600 | 1300 Courthouse Road, Stafford, VA 22554 | This program, which offers financial assistance to help with heating and cooling, has three different options for families in need and seniors on a limited income. The cooling assistance program helps with energy bills and repairs to cooling units, while the fuel assistance program helps those heating their homes in the winter. For emergencies, the county also has a crisis assistance program that includes helping with utility deposits. |
| Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank | (540) 371-7666 | 3631 Lee Hill Drive, Fredericksburg, VA 22408 | A larger food pantry, Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank serves the Fredericksburg and Stafford County area, including the community of Stafford. The food pantry will supplement those receiving food stamps, including the elderly on a limited income. For seniors who wish to volunteer, this organization also has volunteer opportunities. In addition to offering food boxes at the main center, the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank also connects seniors to smaller food banks closer to home. |
| Central Virginia Housing Coalition | (540) 604-9943 | 208 Hudgins Road, Fredericksburg, VA 22408 | Seniors who need access to handicapped-accessible housing or rent assistance may benefit from this organization. It serves the Stafford County area, along with other counties in the region. For those who meet certain income guidelines, the agency will connect seniors to resources for rent assistance, HUD vouchers for housing units, utility assistance or foreclosure prevention. The CVHC also has a limited number of rental properties available, both multi-family units and smaller cottages. |
| Fredericksburg Salvation Army | (540)373-3431 | 821 Lafayette Boulevard, Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401 | The nearest large Salvation Army center for seniors assistance is in Fredericksburg, but the programs are open to those who live in Stafford County as well. There is a Thrift Store where seniors can purchase low-priced clothing and household goods. Caseworkers are on-site, connecting seniors to resources and government benefits that they may be eligible for, including health care. The Salvation Army can also help with bill pay assistance, including utilities, and help seniors with transportation needs. For those elderly that are willing and capable, there are also volunteer efforts and social opportunities. |
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.
