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.
Liberty offers several resources to help seniors wishing to age in place live comfortably in their homes. By contacting the following nonprofits and government agencies, older adults can access meal delivery services, local transportation, recreational opportunities and bill payment assistance.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) | (800) 593-7948 | MARC serves as Clay County's Area Agency on Aging and provides community-based services for older adults. The agency links seniors with local resources, such as meal services, transportation and home modification programs. Caregivers can also access support services to better care for their loved ones. |
| Liberty Meals on Wheels | (816) 439-4398 | Liberty Meals on Wheels provides meal delivery services for seniors unable to shop for food or prepare meals themselves. The program also serves meals in a group setting to help older adults stay active and social in their community. |
| Kearney Enrichment Council | (816) 635-0466 | The Kearney Enrichment Council is a nonprofit that operates the Kearney Senior Center. Adults aged 60 and older can visit the center for transportation services, weekly congregate meals, exercise classes and activities, including bingo, card games and interactive music therapy. |
| Community Action Agency of Greater Kansas City | (816) 358-6868 | The Community Action Agency of Greater Kansas City offers several programs, including the Low-Income Weatherization Program (LIWAP), to help seniors living at home maintain a high quality of life. LIWAP provides utility assistance for homeowners and renters to ensure their living conditions are healthy and safe. |
| Missouri Property Tax Credit Claim | (573) 751-3505 | The Missouri Property Tax Credit Claim provides seniors with a tax credit based on real estate taxes or rent they paid for the year. The claim amount is determined by how much an individual paid in taxes and their total household income. |
| Water / Wastewater Utility Bill Credit Program | (816) 439-4460 | Qualified seniors are eligible for a 15% reduction in their water and wastewater rates through Liberty's Utility Bill Credit Program. Older adults must provide paperwork proving they meet certain requirements to receive the bill credit. |
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.
