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 Montgomery County:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|
Respite Care | (301) 816-9647 | Not Listed | The Montgomery County Government offers a program that provides short-term relief to live-in primary caregivers who provide full-time care to frail seniors and those with disabilities. The program enables seniors to age in place for as long as possible by giving caregivers a break from their duties. In-home and out-of-home care options are available. |
Weatherization Assistance Program | Not Listed (Online Contact Form) | 1301 Piccard Drive, 4th Floor, Rockville, 20850 | The Maryland Energy Assistance Program runs a weatherization assistance program funded by the federal government and the state. The program helps low-income households reduce their fuel bills by lowering energy consumption. This is a one-time service, and contractors do not return to carry out any repairs. Priority is given to seniors and households with young children. Services carried out include replacing cracked windows, weather stripping, testing furnace efficiency, and installing hot water heater jackets and attic insulation. There is no charge for any of the services. |
Senior Connection | (301) 962-0820 | 3950 Ferrara Drive, Silver Spring, MD 20906 | Senior Connection is a nonprofit organization that provides a range of services for seniors over the age of 60. In its Pantry Fillers program, volunteers take seniors to a nearby grocery store on a weekly or monthly basis. The senior is responsible for paying for the groceries, but volunteers help carry the groceries and put them away. Seniors who are unable to leave their homes can give volunteers a shopping list and money to go shopping. Additionally, Senior Connection provides door-to-door transportation to seniors. Rides must be booked in advance, and only four trips can be booked per month. There is no charge for this service. |
Senior Nutrition Program | (240) 777-3000 | 401 Hungerford Drive, Rockville, MD 20850 | The Senior Nutrition Program provides a hot lunch meal each day from Monday to Friday at congregate meal sites located throughout the county. Seniors over the age of 60 receive a nutritious meal that meets the dietary requirements of seniors. The style of meal differs depending on the location,, as some centers cater to the dominant ethnic group in the area. There is no charge for the meal but a voluntary donation is appreciated. Guests under 60 who want to dine with a senior are charged the full meal price. |
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.
