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 Edison:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edison Township Senior Citizen Center | (732) 248-7345 | 2963 Woodbridge Avenue, Edison, New Jersey 08837 | The Edison Senior Citizen Center offers free curb-to-curb transportation to seniors who otherwise have no other means of getting to local medical appointments, shopping plazas and grocery stores or to participate in various senior citizen club activities and scheduled trips. |
| Housing Rehabilitation Program | (732) 248-7359 | 100 Municipal Blvd., Edison, New Jersey 08817 | Edison Township has a grant funding program in place to help senior citizens with zero-interest, 10-year loans of up to $15,000 for home improvement projects needed to repair or correct any existing home safety issues. The program, which is available to homeowners with low or moderate incomes, includes major repairs for such items as roofs, plumbing, electrical upgrades and ADA accessibility renovations. |
| Nutrition Services | (732) 452-0377 | 2963 Woodbridge Avenue, Edison, New Jersey 08837 | The Middlesex County Office of Aging runs several senior meal programs, with one serving Edison residents at the Edison Senior Center. The program, which is open to seniors from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., serves healthy, tasty meals congregate-style at the center, with vegetarian and specialized menus for diabetics. There is a recommended contribution of $2.25 per meal. The senior meal program also provides home-delivered meals to homebound seniors, with a fair share contribution set at $2.75. |
| Jewish Family Services For Seniors | (732) 777-1940 | 32 Ford Ave., Milltown, NJ 08850 | The goal of Jewish Family Services (JFS) for seniors is to help enable the elderly to remain safely living in their own homes for as long as possible, thereby enjoying a higher quality of life. JFS provides services to seniors living in nearby Edison. Its programs include Friendly Visitors, a program that sends community volunteers to the homes of isolated seniors to provide socialization to those who have no support system in place. Kosher Meals on Wheels delivers hot and cold kosher meals to seniors’ homes and provides some socialization. |
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.
