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 Waterford:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loudoun County Salvation Army | 703-771-3371 | 10 Cardinal Park Dr. SE, Leesburg, VA 20175 | The Salvation Army offers a variety of services to help the elderly in need. On-site, a thrift store has household goods and clothing, and there is also a food pantry at this location. Case managers are employed to help seniors apply for government benefits and other services they may be eligible for. There are also group activities to help seniors meet new friends and avoid isolation, as well as limited bill pay assistance, mostly for utilities. |

| Virginia Drug Card | (703) 934-8818 | 8609 Westwood Center Drive, Suite 110, Tysons Corner, VA 22182 | Virginia Drug Card is not an insurance program, but it will help offset some of the costs that seniors have with both prescription medicine and generic alternatives, as prescribed by their doctor. The card offers discounts at many different pharmacies, from 30% to 80% off the costs of the medication. It works in part with the Medical Society of Northern Virginia to help reach scenarios and those in need throughout the region. |
| Loudoun County Meals on Wheels | (703) 777-0257 | 742 Miller Drive, SE, Leesburg, VA 20175 | Home-delivered meals, served Monday through Friday, are offered at no charge to the elderly and those who are unable to prepare food on their own.

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.
