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 Tacoma:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Korean Women’s Association Senior Support Program | (253) 535-4202 | 123 East 96th Street, Tacoma, WA 98445 | The Korean Women’s Association operates two senior centers in Tacoma with funding from the municipality. The centers offer an array of recreational and social activities for older adults and also operate a daily lunch program for people aged 60 and older. Lunches are available Monday to Friday and delivery can be arranged within the Tacoma city limits. Transportation to and from the centers is also provided for city residents. |
| Aging and Disability Resources | (253) 798-4600 | 1305 Tacoma Avenue, Suite 104, Tacoma, WA 98402 | Aging and Disability Resources is the designated Area Agency on Aging for Pierce County. The agency offers support and assistance for older adults who wish to live independently for as long as possible. ADR’s services include care coordination, care planning assistance, information and referrals to local resources and access to family caregiver support. |
| Weatherization Assistance Program | (253) 798-4500 | 930 Tacoma Avenue S, Tacoma, WA 98402 | The Weatherization Assistance Program is available to seniors aged 60 and older. The program helps eligible seniors improve and/or repair their homes to save energy and increase safety and comfort. To qualify, applicants must have an annual income below the applicable limit for their household size. Seniors who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits qualify automatically. Elderly adults in Tacoma can apply online or through the Pierce County Department of Human Services. |
| Catholic Community Services and Catholic Housing Services | (253) 502-2708 | 1323 Yakima Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98405 | The CCSWW of Washington is headquartered in Tacoma and offers a broad range of resources, counseling and direct assistance services to the city’s older adults. The programs available in Pierce County and Tacoma include nonmedical in-home care, senior housing access, home-delivered and congregate meals, and a volunteer transportation program. The organization’s Volunteer Services program provides in-home general assistance to seniors for several hours per month at no cost, depending on advance scheduling. |
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.

Review of Generations Home Care - Tacoma, WA
It has certainly been helpful to me. I was a full-time caregiver but he is in a wheelchair now. So far it's been the assignment of Catherine having a steady person here.
