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 Lawrence:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence Council on Aging | (978) 620-3540 | 155 Haverhill Street, Lawrence, MA 01840 | The Council on Aging for the City of Lawrence operates a wide variety of services and programs to help seniors in the community age in place. Some of these are available at the local senior center. The Housing Assistance Advocate can help seniors ensure that their home meets their mobility and health needs. They also provide Meals on Wheels and information about local legal and fuel assistance. |
| LIHEAP Fuel Assistance | (978) 681-4900 | 305 Essex Street 4th Floor, Lawrence, MA 01840 | Provided by the Greater Lawrence Community Action Council, LIHEAP helps pay for a portion of heating bills for residents who are at risk. Funds are submitted directly to utilities for this purpose. This program is available for households that earn less than $37,360 per year. Proof of residence and valid photo identifications will be needed to apply. In addition, local law prevents utilities from shutting off service for those aged 65 and over between November 15 to March 15. |
| Home Modification Loan Program | (978) 654-5741 | 17 Kirk Street, Lowel, MA 01852 | This loan program, which is operated by Community Teamwork, gives seniors the funding they need to make accessibility and safety modifications so they can remain independent in their own homes. Loan amounts are between $1,000 and $50,000, depending on the income of the applicant. This is a 0% deferred payment loan that the homeowner can use to hire contractors of their choice. Unfortunately, there are no reimbursements available for already completed work. |
| Elderly Statutory Exemption | (978)-620-3190 | 200 Common Street, Lawrence, MA 01840 | The city of Lawrence offers a modest homestead exemption for low-income seniors. To be eligible, at least one owner must be aged 70 or over, and the residents can’t have an income of more than $13,000 if they are single, and $15,000 if they are married. The entire value of the owner’s estate, excluding property value, cannot exceed $28,000. Applications must be submitted with proof of income and residency to the city’s assessor’s office. The exemption is worth $500 per year. |
| Meals on Wheels Program | (978) 683-7747 | 280 Merrimack Street, Suite 400, Lawrence, MA 01843 | The Elder Services of the Merrimack Valley provides a Meals on Wheels program that brings hot, nutritious meals to seniors in Lawrence who are unable to obtain meals on their own. These delivered meals meet one-third of daily USDA standards and they are available in many varieties, including renal, cardiac, chopped, ground and pureed. |
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.
