Monthly costs for in-home care in Saint Louis are the same whether you choose home care services or home health care services. However, the cost of opting for an adult day health care is considerably less. It is important to note the fees for an assisted living community are more than $1,000 less per month than in-home care, which is remarkable compared to the rest of the country. Those looking for a skilled nursing center with a semiprivate room can expect to pay moderately more.

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 Saint Louis:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weatherization Assistance Program | (314) 651-3646 | 3701 Grandel Square, St. Louis, MO 63108 | The Urban League Weatherization Assistance Program is federally funded but also takes donations from local businesses. The program enables low-income households to permanently reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy-efficient. Priority is given to senior citizens on a fixed income and those with disabilities. Services provided by the program include furnace repairs and replacements, installing insulation, window and door repairs and caulking. |
| Community Centers | (636) 207-0847 | Not Listed (Multiple locations) | Aging Ahead is a nonprofit organization that operates 21 senior community centers throughout the city of St. Louis. Each center provides nutritious meals to seniors participating in activities at the centers and delivers meals to the homes of eligible seniors in the surrounding areas. There is no charge for any of the services or meals at the center but voluntary contributions are always welcomed. Activities offered at the centers include exercise classes, health screenings, arts and crafts, social events and guest lectures. |
| Meal Programs | (314) 612-5918 | 1200 Market Street, St. Louis, MO 63103 | This state-funded program provides home-delivered meals to senior citizens five times a week. The meals are delivered hot at lunchtime from Monday to Friday ensuring that seniors in the area are getting nutritious food on a regular basis. The program aims to keep seniors safely in their homes for as long as they are able to be independent. Nutritional supplements are provided with the meals if a dietician thinks that a senior is lacking in certain vitamins or minerals. A three-meal emergency food pack is provided to all seniors in case of an emergency or inclement weather preventing the standard meal delivery from occurring. |
| Chores and Home Repairs Program | (314) 612-5918 | 1200 Market Street, St. Louis, MO 63103 | The program includes both volunteer and state-funded contractors who perform minor home repairs and chores for seniors in the St. Louis area. The home repairs are funded by the state in general but the senior may have to contribute depending on the scale of the work required. Services offered include basic plumbing and electric work, minor home repairs to the interior and exterior of the building and the installation of ramps. The chore program is entirely carried out by volunteers and no cost is involved. Chores and work offered by the program include yard work, painting, cleaning and gutter clearing. |
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.
