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 Snohomish County:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|
Senior Information & Assistance | (800) 422-2024 | 3000 Rockefeller Avenue, Everett, WA 98201 | The Senior Information and Assistance line is managed in partnership between Homage and the Snohomish County Long-Term Care and Aging department. The service acts as the first point of contact between older adults and several aging in place resources in the county. Seniors can get in touch with the service to find out more and check eligibility for programs like mental health counseling, home-delivered meals, in-home care services and transportation. |
TakeCare Medicare | (866) 937-6565 | 5026 196th St. SW, Lynnwood, WA 98036 | TakeCare Medicare is a Homage service offering free and unbiased advice about Medicare insurance. Advisors can help seniors understand their insurance options on topics such as Medigap, prescription medication plans and dual Medicare/Medicaid plans. Additionally, TakeCare Medicare counselors can also refer seniors to other aging services such as home repairs and meal delivery programs. |
Legal Services for Individuals Over 60 | (888) 387-7111 | 401 Second Avenue S, Suite 407, Seattle, WA 98104 | This senior legal line is a Coordinated Legal Education, Advice and Referral service offered by the Northwest Justice Project. Seniors can call to speak to a lawyer or a paralegal who can either offer detailed advice over the phone, assist with legal documentation, or, in some instances, refer the caller to other legal aid agencies for representation. |
Minor Home Repairs | (425) 265-2222 | 5026 196th St. SW, Lynnwood, WA 98036 | The Minor Home Repairs program is managed by the Homage nonprofit and helps low-income seniors with some necessary house repairs so they can continue living at home. There is no labor cost for this service; however, seniors may have to pay for some of the materials on a sliding scale, according to their income. |
Veterans’ Assistance Program | (425) 388-7255 | 3000 Rockefeller Ave, Lower Level, Drewel Building, Everett, WA 98201 | This program is overseen by the Snohomish County Human Services Department and assists seniors who served in the country’s military and their families. Seniors can get in touch with the program for information and referrals to state and federal pensions their service entitles them to, including a robust list of services specifically for older veterans. |
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.
