The most inexpensive type of care in New Brunswick is adult day health care, which, at $1,866, is significantly cheaper than home care, at $5,148. However, home care provides one-on-one assistance within the senior’s home, as does home health care, although that option typically costs an additional $95 per month because it provides medical care. Assisted living and nursing home facilities are the costliest options, with the former averaging $8,145, and the latter, another $3,505 per month.

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.
Seniors in New Brunswick may qualify for assistance from government agencies and nonprofit organizations operating in the area. The resources listed here can help to make homes more energy-efficient, pay some utility bills, finance repairs to make the home safer and arrange a regular supply of fresh and healthy meals.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Low Income Home Energy Assistance | Apply Here | The Low Income Home Energy Assistance program is a federally funded program designed to assist New Jersey residents of all ages who cannot afford to pay their heating and cooling bills. It's available to renters and homeowners whose incomes are no more than 60% of the state median. Payments are normally made directly to the energy supplier, except in certain cases, such as renters whose rent includes their energy costs. |
| USDA Loans and Grants | (856) 285-7679 | The Section 504 Home Repair Program provides home repair loans to homeowners on very low incomes as well as grants to seniors with health and safety hazards in their homes. Grants can be up to $10,000, with no requirement to pay them back unless the senior sells the property within 3 years. Loans can be up to $40,000 over 20 years at 1% interest. Eligible participants are New Jersey residents who cannot get affordable financing elsewhere and have incomes at or below the limit for their county. Grants are only available to adults aged 62 and older. |
| Meals on Wheels in Greater New Brunswick | (732) 249-3488 | Meals on Wheels in Greater New Brunswick delivers freshly prepared and nutritionally balanced meals to homebound seniors on weekdays, including holidays, normally between 10:30 a.m. and noon. Two meals are delivered per visit: one a hot lunch and the other a cold boxed meal for supper. During the delivery, the volunteer will use the opportunity to do a wellness check. |
| Weatherization Assistance Program | (732) 828-4510 | The Weatherization Assistance Program covers vital home improvement costs for residents with incomes equal to or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Homeowners and renters can apply, although renters will need permission from their home's owner before work can commence. Depending on the results of the home's energy audit, the program can pay for repairs to HVAC systems and windows and doors, as well as insulating attics and walls. |
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.
