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 Dumfries:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Senior Link | (703) 368-4141 | 5 County Complex Ct., Prince William, VA 22192 | Senior Link provides safety checks and medication reminders to seniors aged 60 and older who are living at home. The services are provided by the Prince William County Area Agency on Aging. |
| Prince William County Personal Care | (703) 792-6374 | 5 County Complex Ct., Prince William, VA | Seniors citizens who require assistance with activities of daily living may be eligible for personal care assistance or stand-by assistance that’s offered by the county’s Area Agency on Aging. Care can be provided on a temporary or respite basis or permanent care can be arranged. |
| Project Mend-A-House | (703) 792-7663 | 8787 Commerce Ct., Manassas, VA 20110 | Project Mend-A-House strives to preserve seniors’ independence by providing home repairs and modifications wherever necessary. Volunteers perform the repairs. |
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.
