Arlington is a vibrant Texas community that comes in 114th on the 2022 Caring Senior Living Report. The city offers convenience for older adults, with nearly three-quarters of homes featuring zero-point entry and over 70% of public transportation stations and vehicles offering ADA accessibility. Low home vacancy rates indicate a strong local economy, and housing costs are lower than the national average, which may make the city financially feasible for those with fixed incomes. Local home care rates are below the national median at $4,862 per month. This type of care includes non-medical services for seniors who are largely independent. Home health care may be a better option for those who need skilled nursing services.

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.
While paid home care services are a good option for older adults who want to remain in their homes, there are many affordable alternatives through community-based initiatives. The following resource table highlights agencies and programs that provide services to supplement what older adults obtain through home care, which may help you reduce your out-of-pocket care expenses.

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.
