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 Salisbury:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) | (617) 573-1100 | 100 Cambridge St., Suite 300, Boston, MA 02114 | Seniors who own a home in Salisbury can get help weatherizing their homes from the Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). WAP services include a free home inspection and recommendations for improved energy efficiency. Upgrades the program pays for can include new insulation and weather-resistant windows and doors. |
| Home Modification Loan Program (HMLP) | (617) 204-3600 | 600 Washington St., Boston, MA 02111 | Seniors in Salisbury may be able to upgrade their homes for improved safety and accessibility through the Home Modification Loan Program (HMLP). HMLP is a state program that seniors in Essex County can apply for to get a 0% loan for approved repairs to their home’s structure, roof, flooring or kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Income and asset limits apply, as do residency requirements. |
| Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) | (617) 573-1100 | 100 Cambridge St., Suite 300, Boston, MA 02114 | Seniors in Salisbury with limited incomes may be eligible for reduced monthly energy bills by signing up for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), also known as the Fuel Assistance Program. LIHEAP is open to seniors in Salisbury who meet the program’s income and asset limitations, and eligible seniors may save up to 30% on their monthly utility costs. |
| Family Caregiver Support Program | (617) 727-7750 | One Ashburton Pl., Floor 5, Boston, MA 02108 | Seniors aged 55 and over in Salisbury can get several different types of support to live independently in their homes from the Family Caregiver Support Program. The Family Caregiver Support Program is a recipient-directed benefit that can pay the cost of an in-home caregiver, as well as continuing training and support groups for designated caregivers. The program also helps seniors who are raising their grandchildren find resources to help with nutrition, education and both state and federal benefits. |
| Neighbors in Need | (978) 685-8321 | 60 Island St., Suite 214-East, MA 01840 | Salisbury seniors can get the nutritional support they need to stay healthy, as well as several other essential items, from Essex County nonprofit Neighbors in Need.

The program also provides needed personal care supplies for seniors. |
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.
