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.
Multiple organizations in the Kalamazoo area are tasked with supporting the lives of its older citizens. The organizations in the following chart help seniors find low-cost assistive equipment, stay in touch with other community members and pay for critical home repairs
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Lending Hands of Michigan | 269-567-4381 | This nonprofit provides seniors free access to gently used medical equipment and assistive technology. Items in the organization's collection include bariatric transfer benches, electric wheelchairs and smaller devices such as reachers and senior-friendly shoe horns. Seniors may use borrowed equipment for up to seven months. |
| Milestone Senior Services | 269-382-0515 | Milestone runs a variety of helpful initiatives in the Kalamazoo area. Its Meals on Wheels daily meal-delivery program is free for all residents 60 years of age or older. The organization also provides home repair and handyman services for seniors who meet income guidelines. |
| Michigan Emergency Energy Relief | 855-275-6424 | The state of Michigan provides emergency financial assistance to income-eligible residents who are facing imminent shutoff of their utilities or need immediate repair of heating systems in their homes. Funding is limited, but senior applicants are given preference. The program can cover up to $4,000 in energy-related home repairs. |
| Kalamazoo County Older Adult Services Division | 269-373-5200 | This arm of the Kalamazoo County government is the official Area Agency on Aging for the county. Its programs help area seniors find respite care for their primary caregivers, understand their legal rights and research long-term care options. |
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.

Review of In Home Companions
They made it pretty stressful. We had no-call-no-shows. They need to improve communication and follow through. We had certain people call many times.
