54 Home Care Services for Seniors Serving Fairfield, CT
The town of Fairfield features five miles of shoreline on the Long Island Sound, three local libraries and a senior community that makes up about 16% of the 62,000-person population, which may make it an attractive option for retirees. The town is home to the Bigelow Center for Senior Activities, which provides a variety of programs and services for local adults age 65 and over, including congregate meals, transportation and information services.
According to the Genworth 2018 Cost of Care Survey, home care costs a little more in Fairfield than in the nation as a whole. Seniors may expect to spend about $4,147 per month on homemaker services and $4,671 on light medical care. This is compared to the national averages of $4,004 and $4,195, respectively.
Note: Home care data is not available for Fairfield, so cost data for Bridgeport, the closest major city, was used.

In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help seniors and their families access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

My wife Nancy is deceased but we used Acuity Homecare for her for six weeks. They were great, the people that run it were excellent, and the girls that came here were absolutely wonderful. They’re professional, enjoyable, very nice, and they know what they’re doing. They even gave us a Christmas card at Christmas time, too. I don’t say anything bad about them. To other families who may want to consider them, I would tell them to not have any reservations about having them, and to consider them very much. I had worked in nursing homes, and I had seen the kind of care you get there, and this is far and above any nursing home care.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Neil A., his organization, and his entire staff are. When my mother was in in-home Hospice care, Neil provided such kind and skilled caregivers to help with my mother’s needs. She loved every one of them!

Fairfield Home Care 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 Fairfield:
Senior and Disabled Housing
Address: 611 Old Post Road, Fairfield, CT 06824
Phone: (203) 256-3120
The Senior and Disabled Housing program is administered by the Office of Community and Economical Development. This directory is regularly updated with affordable housing options for seniors in Fairfield. Eligibility requirements and application procedures vary depending on the housing entity.
Shoveling for Seniors
Address: 100 Mona Terrace, Fairfield, CT 06824
Phone: (203) 256-3169
Seniors who reside in Fairfield and are unable to shovel their property during the winter months may receive shoveling services through the town’s Shoveling for Seniors program. This program connects local students who are willing to shovel for pay or as a volunteer with seniors who are unable to shovel their own walkways or driveways. This program is coordinated by the Social Services Outreach Social Worker, and the general hourly fee for service is $10.
Senior and Disabled Tax Relief
Address: 611 Old Post Road, Fairfield, CT 06824
Phone: (203) 256-3110
The Senior and Disabled Tax Relief program provides property tax relief to eligible seniors in Fairfield. There are three different programs, including the grant-funded credit program and freeze program, neither of which require a lien or payback, and the deferral program, which allows seniors age 75 and over to defer up to 50% of the gross tax levied against their property. To apply, qualified seniors must meet in person with a staff member from the Assessor’s Office within the designated filing period for that fiscal year.
Transportation Services
Address: 100 Mona Terrace, Fairfield, CT 06824
Phone: 203-256-3168
Address: Fairfield seniors who need rides to local medical appointments or to the grocery store may arrange them through the town’s transportation services program. Transportation is provided via five wheelchair-accessible buses and must be arranged in advance by calling the dispatcher. Destinations that the buses can go to include the library, medical offices, supermarkets and the local senior center.
Meals on Wheels
Address: 215 Warren Street, Bridgeport, CT 06604
Phone: (203) 332-3264
Seniors who are unable to shop for or prepare their own meals may receive up to two meals a day from the local Meals on Wheels program. This program is a service of the United Way of Connecticut.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
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.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
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.
