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 Tallahassee:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elder Care Services, Inc. | (850) 921-5554 | 2518 W. Tennessee Street, Tallahassee, FL 32304 | Elder Care Services is a local nonprofit agency that provides a broad range of services for older adults, including in-home, senior outreach and nutrition services.

| Senior Property Tax Exemptions | (850) 606-6200 | 315 S. Calhoun Street, Third Floor, Tallahassee, FL 32301 | Tallahassee residents aged 65 and over may qualify for various property tax exemption programs, including the Low-Income Senior Exemption, Military/Veterans Exemptions, Widow/Widower Exemptions and Homestead Exemption.

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.
