The town of Weston is located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, along the Long Island Sound. It is home to just over 10,300 residents, of whom 14.2% are seniors aged 65 and older. The town is quiet, wooded and only 45 miles from New York City, so seniors can enjoy the relaxed pace of suburban living while maintaining easy access to the entertainment and amenities of the big city. Summers are pleasant, allowing seniors the experience the area’s many nature preserves and miles of walking trails. Low crime rates and access to world-class health care facilities, including several of St. Vincent’s Medical Center campuses, help ensure seniors can be safe and healthy as they age.
According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2021, seniors in the Weston area pay an average of $5,339 per month for home care services. This rate applies to both in-home care and home health care services, which provide enhanced medical care in addition to assistance with daily tasks and household chores.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in Weston– complete with services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled resources to help seniors and their families to 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.

Paying for Home Care in Weston, CT
The Cost of Home Care in Weston, CT
Based on its proximity to Bridgeport, Weston has the same home care costs. This means that seniors typically pay $5,339 per month for these services, which is not only higher than the state median of $5,243 but also almost $400 higher than the U.S. national average. That being said, Weston is more affordable than the nearby New York City area, where home care costs $5,529. It’s also $167 lower than the Norwich area. Home care rates are similarly priced in Hartford, while New Haven has the state’s lowest rates at $5,243 per month.
The Cost of Home Care vs. Other Senior Care Options in Weston, CT
Both in-home care and home health care services are affordable options for seniors in Weston. Assisted living is over $900 more expensive per month, though it often covers the cost of room and board at a senior living community. Adult day health care is the most affordable option and ideal for seniors who only require part-time assistance. Nursing homes offer the greatest scope of care and are therefore the most expensive option. Semiprivate rooms begin at rates of $16,805 per month.

Financial Assistance for Home Care in Weston, CT
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.
- Long-Term Care Insurance: Long-term care insurance covers expenses related to senior care, including in-home care. Depending on the policy type, beneficiaries may receive a cash payment to use towards long-term care or reimbursement for qualifying long-term care expenses. Note that there are limitations- typically a maximum benefit of $150 per day- and exact coverage terms vary depending on the exact policy, so always check the details.
- Medicare: Medicare does not cover in-home care because it is classified as custodial, or non-medical, care. However, some Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, which offer expanded benefits, may cover in-home custodial care.
- Medicaid: Medicaid coverage of in-home care varies between different states because it is not a federally mandated benefit. Currently, all states cover some in-home care either through their standard Medicaid or a waiver program. The specific coverage rules are set individually by each state.
- Veterans’ Benefits: The Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly cash payment that beneficiaries can use to pay for senior care, including in-home care services. To qualify for A&A, Veterans must already receive the VA pension and meet several additional requirements, including needing assistance with the activities of daily living. Contact the Department of Veterans Affairs to learn more.
- Reverse Mortgages: Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are federally insured loans that are available to homeowners age 62 and over. Reverse mortgages allow you to access a portion of your home’s equity in cash, tax free. Many seniors use reverse mortgages to finance their care expenses, including in-home care. Note that although there are no monthly payments due on reverse mortgage loans, borrowers do have to repay the loan once the last surviving homeowner passes away, moves, or sells the home.
Weston 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 Weston:
Address: 56 Norfield Rd., Weston, CT 06883
Phone: (203) 222-2576
Dial-a-Ride is a service of the Town of Weston that is available to adults aged 60 and over. In most cases, a wheelchair-accessible van is used to provide transportation, and participants are picked up and returned to their homes. While priority is given to meeting medical needs, seniors may also utilize this service for transportation to senior center activities, shopping and other errands. Rides must be requested at least 24 hours in advance.
Address: 56 Norfield Rd., Weston, CT 06883
Phone: (203) 222-2696
Homeowners in Weston who are unable to afford their property taxes may apply for one of the town’s three tax relief programs, including the tax abatement program, the tax deferment program and the tax freeze program. To qualify, applicants must be at least 65 years old, and their income and assets must not exceed specified limits. Applications for these programs must be submitted to the Tax Collector no later than May 15th of each year.
Address: 180 Bayberry Ln., Westport, CT 06880
Phone: (203) 227-9571
The Public Health Services division of the Westport Weston Health District provides an array of services to seniors in Weston, including visits to homebound seniors, to ensure that their health needs are being met. The WWHD also provides in-home safety assessments and maintains a list of local seniors who might need special emergency assistance in the event of a weather or disaster evacuation.
Address: 56 Norfield Rd., Weston, CT 06883
Phone: (203) 222-2663
Low-income seniors in Weston may qualify to receive assistance with heating costs through the Weston Warm-Up Fund. The fund provides financial assistance for oil, gas or electricity payments or for heating, repairs or replacements of heating equipment and home improvements needed to optimize energy efficiency. This non-profit organization is administered by the Weston Department of Social Services.
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.
