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.
Los Angeles seniors have access to several programs on a local and statewide level that help them cover the cost of their utility bills, upgrade their homes to make them safer, or receive meal deliveries to ensure they eat healthily. These programs are typically free for those who qualify based on income or may have a sliding fee scale.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| PACE Handyworker Program | (213) 353-1677 | The Pacific Asian Consortium in Employment's Handyworker Program provides free property improvements and repairs to address safety, health and security issues in and around the homes of seniors aged 62 or older, and disabled persons. Participants must meet income limits and own or rent a single-family home. |
| California Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program | (866) 675-6623 | CALIHEAP helps low-income residents pay for their monthly heating and cooling bills or provide emergency bill payments when they’ve received a disconnect notice. Eligibility hinges on income, residence location, household size and other factors. Seniors, disabled persons and households with children often receive preference. |
| Low Income Household Water Assistance Program | (323) 721-4162 | LIHWAP helps low-income residents pay their past-due water and/or wastewater bills. Ongoing drought conditions in California have driven water prices to an all-time high, and seniors on limited incomes may find it difficult to foot the bill. Applicants must meet income limits, live in Los Angeles County and have unpaid water/wastewater bills. |
| LIHEAP Weatherization | (323) 869-4600 | The Maravilla Foundation provides no-cost weatherization services through the LIHEAP. Weatherization helps improve energy efficiency, potentially lowering energy bills, and can include insulation installation, water-saving devices, refrigerator replacement, furnace repair and replacement, minor home repairs and more. Eligibility is based on income, family size and energy bill. |
| St. Vincent Meals on Wheels | (213) 484-7775 | SVMOW delivers nutritious meals to seniors and other homebound individuals throughout Los Angeles, Mondays through Saturdays, regardless of age, disability, illness, religion, race or ability to pay.

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.
