Home health care differs from home care in that home health care is usually performed by medical professionals. Seniors who need extensive medical support often turn to nursing homes rather than home-based care. In McLean, a semiprivate room in a nursing home averages $11,467 a month, making it more than twice as expensive as home care. Assisted living provides less extensive medical support but is only 10% more expensive than home-based care. Adult day health care is the least expensive choice.

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.
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. Â
