"Following a hospitalization, my 94-yr-old mother needed round-the-clock care at home. For more than 5 weeks, friendly, caring, knowledgeable, dedicated and dependable professionals came to our home. Each of them took excellent care of her, encouraging her as she regained her health and mobility, and allowing me to get the rest I so desperately needed. I learned from them the best ways to continue her care on my own, and I enjoyed their company immensely.They treated both of us with courtesy, respect, dignity and compassion.I can’t thank this company, its staff and management enough for taking such good care of us. With them, it really IS personal!!"

I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to keep their loved one at home."

"I am beyond grateful to have Margaret as a caretaker for my mother, who is living with dementia. From the moment she started, it was clear that she is not just a caregiver by profession, but truly has a calling for this work. Margaret treats my mother with the utmost kindness and compassion, as if she were her own family. What sets Margaret apart is her genuine care and concern. She goes above and beyond to ensure my mother is not only comfortable but also happy and engaged. Whether it’s through stimulating conversations, thoughtful activities, or just being a comforting presence, Margaret consistently finds ways to bring joy and peace into my mother’s days. I cannot express enough how comforting it is to know that my mother is in such capable and loving hands. Margaret is truly a gem, and we are so fortunate to have her as part of our family’s journey. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of compassionate, dedicated care for their loved ones."

"The South Shore and Cape teams at Comfort Keepers have been great. Although my parents did not always have consistency of caregivers - all of the ones we did have were great. They do have a rule that caregivers not bring phones or electronics in the home and our caregivers followed this to the letter. We moved out of the area - but if we ever to return I would call them immediately. "

"Our family hired Hahn Home Health Care over a year ago to provide both home and health care supervision for our loved one. Our goal is to see her well-cared for and content in her own home. The staff of Hahn are providing 24/7 services that are making this goal possible. In addition, Hahn administrators handle all staff issues, including scheduling, hiring, and dismissals. They have selected nurses and aides whose personalities are compatible with our loved-one and whose companionship has added to her quality of life. Besides providing excellent personal and medical overseeing, they also do daily chores such as laundry, dishwashing, cleaning, cooking, and pet care. They are respectful and kind, not only to our loved-one but also to all our family. We are very pleased with the quality of care and home and health services provided by the hardworking staff of Hahn Home Health Care. "

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 Carver:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) | (617) 573-1100 | 100 Cambridge St., Suite 300, Boston, MA 02114 | Seniors in Carver can get their homes ready for the winter at no cost with help from the Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). WAP provides free home inspections for seniors in Carver, as well as help paying for the installation of new or upgraded insulation, windows and doors. The program also gives senior homeowners in Carver helpful tips for improving their homes’ current energy efficiency with new appliances and strategic shade trees on the property. This program has income and asset limitations for seniors who apply. |
| Home Modification Loan Program (HMLP) | (617) 204-3600 | 600 Washington St., Boston, MA 02111 | Homeowners in Carver who are seniors aged 60 and over may be eligible for a no-interest home improvement loan through the Home Modification Loan Program (HMLP). Seniors who own a home, but who earn less than the program’s income threshold, may be able to borrow the funds they need to bring a house up to code, or to improve safety and accessibility, with a 0% interest loan from one of the HMLP’s approved lenders. Income and asset limits apply. |
| Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) | (617) 573-1100 | 100 Cambridge St., Suite 300, Boston, MA 02114 | Carver seniors may be able to reduce the monthly cost of heating and cooling their homes by up to 30% through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), sometimes called the Fuel Assistance Program in Massachusetts. Seniors in Carver who meet the program’s income maximums can sign up for LIHEAP online or by mail. In addition to the monthly discount, many LIHEAP recipients also get assistance upgrading their energy-inefficient old appliances, weatherizing their homes or preventing disconnected utility service with one-time emergency bill payments that may be requested on short notice with a letter of disconnect and proof of residency in Plymouth County. |
| Family Caregiver Support Program | (617) 727-7750 | One Ashburton Place, Floor 5, Boston, MA 02108 | The Family Caregiver Support Program helps seniors in Carver live independently by paying the cost of an in-home caregiver.

Seniors aged 55 and over who are raising an underage family member can also apply to the program for help finding education resources, signing up for benefits the family may be eligible for and meeting personal care needs for the children. |
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.
