READ MOREThe South Bay community of Fremont ranks 219th out of 302 overall on Caring’s Senior Living Report. It offers high access to health care, making it a prime retirement destination. There are about 107 primary care doctors per 100,000 people, compared to the national average of 82, and a relatively high number of ADA-accessible stations and vehicles make it easy to attend errands and medical appointments. The city is home to Washington Hospital, a high-performing 415-bed hospital that specializes in cancer care, cardiology, diabetes care and gastroenterology. Seniors who need home care pay $6,864 per month for nonmedical services. Home health care, which includes skilled nursing care, is a little costlier.

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.
The Fremont region has several agencies to help older adults find the services they need to stay in their own home. Resources such as the Area Agency on Aging, Meals on Wheels and the city’s Human Services Department provide supportive services to help seniors reduce their reliance on paid home care services.

Area Agency on Aging | (510) 795-2428 | The local Area Agency on Aging operates an office out of Fremont. At this location, seniors can apply for programs, such as general financial assistance, Medi-Cal and CalFresh. The agency also provides services such as transportation, home-delivered meals and referrals for community-based in-home services. |
City of Fremont Human Services Department | (510) 574-2041 | The City of Fremont’s Human Services Department operates the Aging and Family Services division. This division runs two Age Well Centers, which are open to those aged 55 and over.

Veterans Service Office | (510) 577-1926 | The Veterans Service Office helps older veterans in Fremont determine eligibility for the veterans’ home care program, Aid and Attendance, as well as veteran and survivor pensions.

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.
