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 San Jose:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Department of Aging and Adult Services (Santa Clara County) | (408) 755-7600 | 353 W. Julian St., San Jose, CA 95110 | The Department of Aging and Adult Services offers in-home supportive services, nutrition programs and adult protective sources to eligible seniors. It also provides support and resources for caregivers. Each program has different eligibility guidelines, but seniors who have Medicare health insurance generally qualify. The local Meals on Wheels program is managed by this department. |
| Farewell to Falls Program | (650) 724-9369 | 300 Pasteur Drive, Stanford, CA 94305 | Farewell to Falls is a free program offered to people aged 65 or older who have either recently fallen or are concerned about falls. It’s offered through the Trauma Service and Emergency Department at Stanford University Medical Center. The program focuses on fall prevention and offers tips, home safety assessments, home exercise programs and more. |
| Health Trust (Healthy Aging Initiative) | (408) 513-8700 | 3180 Newberry Drive, Suite 200, San Jose, CA 95118 | This program ensures that vulnerable populations living in California’s Silicon Valley receive the services they need to stay healthy and engaged with the community. The Healthy Aging Initiative focuses primarily on services related to housing, food and chronic diseases. There are a wide range of programs in these sectors, and most people over 65 qualify. A diverse group of volunteers help to keep the program running. |
| R.Y.D.E. Transportation Service | (408)255-8033 | 10104 Vista Drive, Cupertino, CA 95014 | The Reach Your Destination Easily Transportation Service offers curb-to-curb transport and local trip planning for all seniors over the age of 65. Rides should be planned in advance and are available from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. or from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Fees are fixed based on the number of miles to your destination and income guidelines. Trips up to 4 miles start at 90 cents or $9 depending on income. |
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.
