Home Instead in Attleboro just entered it’s 12th year taking care of my Grandfather. He is 94 years old. He will be 95 in May. They cared for him in his home, then when he moved into assisted living, and now they care for him in his nursing home. In the nursing home they are taking him out to lunch once a week and being a companion. My grandfather’s life has been greatly touched by the love and care provided to him. He always liked to be active and unfortunately, broke his hip. Home Instead has managed to keep him as active and engaged as possible. Our family is so grateful.

MeetCaregivers is a fabulous agency. They are responsive and sensitive to the needs of the client and family, and work hard to find the right match(es).
For example, my mother was extremely hard of hearing and needed caregivers who could speak slowly and repeat if needed, requiring a lot of patience. She also did not want to be "bossed around," which was difficult when she insisting on doing things that were unsafe for her. Her caregivers were very respectful and handled these situations with professionalism and grace.
When my mother declined quickly and was bedridden for over a week before her death, her devoted caregivers transitioned seamlessly to changing her diapers and giving her bed baths. I was impressed by their wide range of skill sets and their compassion and support as our family went through a difficult time. They became like family to us, staying later and doing extra when needed.
I would recommend MeetCaregivers without reservation for anyone seeking care.

We’re using Senior Helpers Southeastern Massachusetts. It did take a couple of days to get organized, but they’ve got me help for my mom. They come in twice a week now, and everything is working out very nicely. They offer all these services for home care, and I’m just using companion care and maybe some light housework from them, but everything is working very nicely. I’m using them for six hours a day. No medical whatsoever, it’s just some light housework if she needs it and more companion care. Pricing is maybe a little on the high side. It is $34 an hour, but I have very few options, and that’s why I am using them. After my inquiry, they responded within a few hours, so that was very nice. And the people I’ve dealt with have been very nice. Going through their process was very easy, and the people they had come in have been very, very helpful.

Paying for Home Care in Attleboro, MA
The Cost of Home Care in Attleboro, MA

Neighboring city Taunton has exactly the same home care cost as the Attleboro average. Directly north, Boston has the region’s highest care cost, almost $600 higher than Attleboro’s. Worcester shares Attleboro and Taunton’s median, while Springfield and Pittsfield, near the state’s western border, have the region’s lowest home care averages of $5,339 and $5,625, respectively.
The Cost of Home Care vs. Other Senior Care Options in Attleboro, MA
Home care costs in Attleboro are $343 lower than assisted living costs and almost $200 lower than home health care services. Home care services are for seniors who require assistance with personal care, while home health care services also provide limited skilled nursing services.

Skilled nursing services that are provided in a long-term care facility are almost double the cost of home care services.

Financial Assistance for Home Care in Attleboro, MA
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.
- Long-Term Care Insurance: Long-term care insurance covers expenses related to senior care, including in-home care. Depending on the policy type, beneficiaries may receive a cash payment to use towards long-term care or reimbursement for qualifying long-term care expenses. Note that there are limitations- typically a maximum benefit of $150 per day- and exact coverage terms vary depending on the exact policy, so always check the details.
- Medicare: Medicare does not cover in-home care because it is classified as custodial, or non-medical, care. However, some Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, which offer expanded benefits, may cover in-home custodial care.
- Medicaid: Medicaid coverage of in-home care varies between different states because it is not a federally mandated benefit. Currently, all states cover some in-home care either through their standard Medicaid or a waiver program. The specific coverage rules are set individually by each state.
- Veterans’ Benefits: The Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly cash payment that beneficiaries can use to pay for senior care, including in-home care services. To qualify for A&A, Veterans must already receive the VA pension and meet several additional requirements, including needing assistance with the activities of daily living. Contact the Department of Veterans Affairs to learn more.
- Reverse Mortgages: Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are federally insured loans that are available to homeowners age 62 and over. Reverse mortgages allow you to access a portion of your home’s equity in cash, tax free. Many seniors use reverse mortgages to finance their care expenses, including in-home care. Note that although there are no monthly payments due on reverse mortgage loans, borrowers do have to repay the loan once the last surviving homeowner passes away, moves, or sells the home.
Attleboro Home Care 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 Attleboro:
Address: 100 Cambridge St., Suite 300, Boston, MA 02114
Phone: (617) 573-1100
Seniors can get their homes ready for the Massachusetts winter in Attleboro with free home inspections and assistance weatherizing their houses from the Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). WAP provides recommendations and no-cost work from licensed local contractors to improve and upgrade a home’s energy efficiency. Covered services include new insulation, windows and doors. To be eligible, seniors in Attleboro must own their home and meet income and asset limitations.
Address: 600 Washington St., Boston, MA 02111
Phone: (617) 204-3600
Attleboro seniors can get needed home improvements made at significant discounts through the Home Modification Loan Program (HMLP). HMLP offers 0% interest home improvement loans through a network of authorized local lenders. Seniors in the program must meet income and asset limitations, as well as reside in the state and be unable to obtain a traditional home improvement loan or home equity line of credit to make the repairs. Repair work must be authorized by the program, and services include any needed home upgrade for improved safety and accessibility.

Phone: (617) 573-1100
Seniors who pay their own gas and electric bills in Attleboro can gain significant savings by signing up for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which is sometimes called the Fuel Assistance Program in Massachusetts. Seniors enrolled in the program can save up to 30% on their monthly heating and cooling bills, as well as find help getting energy-efficient home appliances, weatherize their homes or prevent disconnections with one-time cash aid. Eligible seniors must meet residency, income and asset limitations to enroll in the program.

The program also helps caregivers get training and respite care. Seniors raising grandchildren can also get assistance finding education, personal care and benefits they may be eligible for from a program worker.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
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.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
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.
