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.
Many seniors in South Elgin wish to age in place, but this can often present challenges when certain tasks and daily living activities become difficult to complete. The following table provides a small sample of free and low-cost home care resources that help seniors retain their independence for as long as possible.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| TRIAD | (847) 741-2045 | TRIAD is a law enforcement program for seniors who live in Elgin and St. Charles Townships that is designed to make seniors feel safe in the community. The program offers regular seminars for seniors and hosts an annual picnic. |
| Community Care Program (CCP) | (800) 252-8966 | The Community Care Program (CCP) offered through the Department of Aging is designed for seniors who wish to remain in their homes. It includes access to homemaker services, home delivered meals, transportation options and case management, in addition to other programs that help seniors pay for prescriptions and property taxes. |
| Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program (IHWAP) | (217) 785-2533 | Low-income seniors can use the Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program (IHWAP) to pay for more efficient appliances or receive assistance with late utility bills. The program also helps seniors weatherize their homes. To qualify, seniors must have a combined household income below 150% of the poverty level. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes 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.
