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.
Kansas City is home to many non-profits and government agencies that offer support for local seniors. The following resources help cover costs for home repairs, pay emergency heating bills, deliver fresh and healthy meals and reduce the tax burden.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program | Online Contact | The Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program is a free home improvement service for income-eligible homeowners and renters. Its purpose is to remove health and safety hazards and make homes more energy-efficient, which can reduce the resident's utility costs. The type of work undertaken depends on the home audit, with all work carried out by licensed and bonded contractors. Examples of home improvements include repairing or replacing windows and doors, fixing roofs and installing energy-efficient lighting. |
| MAAC LIHEAP | (816) 768-8900 | MAAC LIHEAP is a Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program for eligible residents of Clay, Jackson and Platte Counties. Its primary purpose is to help residents struggling to pay their home energy bills but it can also help with emergencies, such as when a supplier threatens disconnection. The applicant must be a U.S. Citizen (or legal resident) who has $3,000 or less in their financial accounts (including investments) and an income within the program's limits for their household's size. |
| Meals on Wheels | (816) 293-9596 | Meals on Wheels is a program managed by KC Shepherd Center that's available to adults aged 60+ and other residents physically unable to prepare their own meals. It delivers throughout the KC Shepherd Center's area, and, in addition to the standard service, can also deliver toiletries, pet food and emergency meals. |
| Retired and Senior Volunteers Program | (913) 371-5306 | United Way of Greater Kansas City operates the region's Retired and Senior Volunteers Program. The agency helps connect adults aged 55 and older who want to volunteer their time to help non-profits in their community support neighbors in need. Work can be varied, such as visiting homebound seniors, delivering groceries and helping with prescription assistance programs. |
| SAFESR Property Tax Refund | (785) 296-3909 | Kansas City homeowners residing in the city for 12 months plus who also have an income not exceeding $36,600 can claim a homestead refund of up to $700. Alternatively, adults aged 65 or older whose homes are valued at or below $350,000 can claim a refund of 75% on their property taxes via SAFESR if their incomes are below limits. |
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.
