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 Howell:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Howell Senior Center | (517) 546-0693 | 1661 N. Latson Rd. Howell, MI 48843 | Operated by the Howell Area Parks & Recreation Authority, this social hub for seniors organizes and administers a wide array of fitness and education programs.

| Area Agency on Aging 1-B | (800) 852-7795 | 29100 Northwestern Hwy., Suite 400, Southfield, MI 48034 | Covering residents of Livingston and five other Michigan counties, this nonprofit organization supports seniors by providing access to services that can help them delay or avoid moving into a nursing home or assisted living facility.

| MyRide2 | (855) 697-4332 | 29100 Northwestern Hwy., Suite 400, Southfield, MI 48034 | Part of the AAA 1-B’s senior-related offerings, the myride2 service focuses on connecting seniors with low-cost curb-to-curb transportation options for safe travel.

| Livingston County Catholic Charities | (517) 545-5944 | 2020 E. Grand River, Suite #104, Howell, MI 48843 | This faith-based organization’s Community Liaison program offers area seniors help with locating legal services, financial support, low-cost home repair, elder-focused psychological counseling and assistance with paying for prescription drugs, among other common needs.

| Community Mental Health Services of Livingston County | (517) 404-0614 | 2280 E. Grand River, Howell, MI 48843 | The CMHSLC offers home-based emotional and physical support services to Howell seniors through its Senior Reach program. The program focuses on helping withdrawn or disoriented elderly adults access help before a crisis occurs.

Concerned third parties may request Senior Reach’s free services on a senior’s behalf, but such services are contingent on the senior’s consent and cooperation. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes 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.
