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.
The following resources are designed to help seniors in Newark remain in their own homes for as long as possible. These free and low-cost services may be available once or on an ongoing basis.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Minor Home Repair and Weatherization Program | (302) 737-2336 ext 112 | Residents of Newark who are aged 62 and older and whose income is less than $40,000 per year may be eligible for free home repairs. The program sends trained contractors to perform work on windows, doors, roofs, screens, gutters, electrical components and plumbing systems. Weatherization improvements can lower heating and cooling bills. Workers can also install safety and accessibility modifications to make aging in place easier. |
| Property Tax Deduction | (973) 395-8525 | If you are a homeowner who is aged 65 and older who has lived in Newark or other parts of New Jersey for at least one year, you may be eligible for a property tax deduction of $250. To qualify, you must not exceed income limits set by the government which are subject to change year to year. Surviving spouses of property owners may also be eligible for this program. To receive this deduction, you must file an application with the Essex County Tax Collector's office. |
| Essex County Division of Senior Service | (973) 395-8400 | The Essex County Division of Senior Service is the designated Area Agency on Aging that serves older adults in Newark. In addition to legal assistance, assisted transportation, financial counseling and other general services, the agency has several programs targeted at seniors living at home. These include certified home health aides, home-delivered meals, home modifications, residential repair and respite and family caregiver support services. |
| Meals on Wheels | (302) 737-5747 | The Meals on Wheels program helps seniors who can't obtain their own meals to remain in their own homes by providing fresh and frozen food. Deliveries are made around lunchtime every day, and drivers take the time to check in on recipients to ensure their health and safety. The program is operated by the Newark Senior Center with help from volunteers in the community. |
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.
