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.
Several agencies in Katy supplement the services home care agencies provide or offer low-cost alternatives. Through the following resources, you may find subsidized in-home care, volunteer-based transportation and nutrition services, which may help you continue safely living at home. The table also highlights social and recreational programs that may help those who live alone to avoid isolation.
Resource | Contact | Service |

Area Agency on Aging (AAA) | (800) 437-7396 | The AAA helps seniors remain in their homes by providing referrals and direct services. It contracts with local providers to offer subsidized nutrition services, transportation and in-home care. It also provides benefits counseling to help seniors determine whether they qualify for state or federal programs that may cover home care. |
Meals on Wheels | (713) 533-4900 | Meals on Wheels delivers fresh, noontime meals to older adults who are housebound in Katy. It also provides frozen weekend meals and a week’s worth of breakfasts to prevent food insecurity for those unable to shop for or prepare meals themselves.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes 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.
