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.
Maryland’s government offices and independent nonprofit organizations offer the following assistive programs. Some are specific to Bowie or Prince George’s County, while others serve all Maryland residents.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Maryland Durable Medical Equipment Re-Use | (240) 230-8000 | Seniors can turn to this state-run program for free used durable medical equipment. Items available from the program include wheelchairs, scooters, shower chairs, mechanical lifts and bathroom safety railings, among others. There's no age requirement and no doctor's note is needed; the program is open to all Maryland residents. |
| Meals on Wheels (MOW) of Central Maryland | (410) 558-0827 | This nonprofit delivers daily meals directly to the doorsteps of Bowie seniors. In addition to providing the meal delivery service, MOW Central Maryland volunteers provide wellness checks and crisis intervention when needed. Seniors can also sign up for the organization's Phone Pal program for regular check-ins with supportive volunteers. |
| Prince George's County Senior Property Tax Credit | (301) 952-3700 | Prince George's County senior residents may be eligible for a property tax credit that reduces their property taxes by 20%. To qualify, they must be at least aged 65 and have owned the property for at least a decade. The tax credit may be used on properties with values of up to $500,000. |
| Bowie Senior Center | (301) 809-2377 | Operators of the Bowie Senior Center's Information and Referral hotline can help seniors with questions regarding health care coverage, housing options, elder law and similar topics. Seniors unable to leave their homes can also take advantage of the city's free curb-to-curb transportation to Bowie Senior Center events. |
| Maryland Weatherization Assistance Program (MWAP) | (855) 583-8976 | The MWAP helps Bowie homeowners modify their homes with energy-efficient upgrades that lower electric bills while bolstering home safety and improving quality of life. These upgrades may include installing new lighting, water heaters and insulation. There are income requirements, but all Marylanders who receive SSI are automatically eligible to participate. |
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.
