Nursing home facilities offer the highest level of medical support but are quite expensive. In Sterling, a semiprivate room in a nursing home is more than twice as expensive per month as home care. Assisted living care is slightly more expensive than home-based care but only by 10%. Adult day health care, which can be helpful in plugging coverage gaps for primary caregivers, is considerably less expensive than the competing options, though it also tends to be less flexible.

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.
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.
