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.
Milwaukee-area seniors have many resources they can tap into for assistance that help them age in place well. These programs and services from government and nonprofit agencies focus on financial help and support to let seniors remain as independent as possible at home. Families can contact the groups below to get more information about these opportunities.
| Resource | Contact | Service |

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.

It has been generally good. Having flexible caregivers and available hours is helpful. They might get their billing and accounting systems improved.
