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.
Seniors in the Sarasota area have multiple supportive social programs that can help them get access to legal representation, free or low-cost mobility devices, nutritious meals and other benefits.

Meals on Wheels of Sarasota | 941-366-6693 | Volunteers from this local nonprofit provide seniors with free doorstep delivery of hot meals five times a week.

Florida Senior Homestead Exemption | 941-861-8200 | Florida's homestead exemption works by allowing homeowners to exclude the first $25,000 of their primary residence's value when it comes to computing property tax.

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.
