The results of the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey reveal Hackensack’s median cost for home care is $5,529 per month, which is also the norm for New Jersey. The national average is $4,957, about 10.1% below Hackensack’s typical fee, but since New Jersey is in the nation’s top 10 most expensive states, this isn’t surprising. Seniors in Atlantic City share the same average fee as their peers in Hackensack, but those in Trenton and Vineland typically pay less, with fees averaging $5,148 and $4,767, respectively.

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.
Many government agencies and nonprofits help Hackensack’s seniors age in place. Those listed here can help reduce energy costs, deliver nutritional meals and conduct home improvements.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program | Apply Here | Funded by the federal government and administered by the State of New Jersey, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program can help homeowners and renters struggling to pay their heating and cooling bills. To be eligible for support, the applicant must be responsible for paying their home fuel costs and can't have an income that exceeds 60% of New Jersey's median. The program pays the energy supplier directly, except when fuel costs are included in the resident's rent. |
| USDA Loans and Grants | (856) 285-7679 | The USDA can help homeowners fund home improvements through loans and grants, commonly known as the Section 504 Home Repair Program. Loans of up to $40,000 at fixed 1% interest rates over 20 years are available for home repairs. Grants of up to $10,000 are also available to repair health and safety hazards in the home for residents aged 62+. Grants need only be repaid if the senior sells the property within 3 years of it being approved. To be eligible for a loan or grant, the homeowner must provide evidence they can't get financing elsewhere and have an income at or below the limit for Bergen County. |
| Meals on Wheels | (201) 336-7420 | Bergen County Division of Senior Services administers several home-delivered meal programs throughout the county. Eligible adults are aged 60+, unable to prepare their own meals and not in receipt of Managed Long Term Support Services. Deliveries are on weekdays, and seniors can choose from a hot or frozen meal plan. The suggested donation per meal is $1.25, although no senior is refused a meal if they're unable to donate. |
| Weatherization Assistance Program | (732) 828-4510 | The Weatherization Assistance Program covers the costs of necessary home improvements for homeowners and renters whose incomes are no more than 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Renters must get permission from the property owner before work can be carried out. After being approved, the program pays for a home energy audit to determine the type of work required, which can include installing insulation in the attic and walls, repairing the HVAC system and sealing sources of air intrusion/leakage. |
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.
