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 Albuquerque region has numerous agencies and programs that support seniors’ independence and safety at home. This table highlights the top resources in the region to help those seeking home care to navigate the system and find budget-friendly services.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| City of Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Area Agency on Aging | (505) 768-2745 | The local Area Agency on Aging administers a variety of programs to those aged 60 and over in the Albuquerque region to help them remain in their homes, even as their care needs change. Through its Care Coordination program, it provides home-delivered and congregate meals, transportation and affordable in-home care. It also partners with the UNM Geriatric Education and Health Maintenance Clinic to provide health screenings and evaluations to older adults. |
| Meals on Wheels of Albuquerque | (505) 823-8060 | Meals on Wheels of Albuquerque provides home-delivered meals and wellness checks for older adults in the region who are unable to shop for or prepare their own meals. The organization offers eight diet types to meet the needs of seniors with various health conditions. It also facilitates the Long Leash on Life Pet Program, which provides food for clients' pets. |
| Property Tax Relief | (505) 222-3700 | Seniors in Albuquerque may be able to reduce their property taxes through the Value Freeze Program. This program is open to those aged 65 and over and ensures that homeowners' property taxes don't increase, even if the value of their home goes up. The county also has a $4,000 exemption for veterans and up to a 100% exemption for veterans with service-related disabilities. |
| 2-1-1 | 2-1-1 | 2-1-1 is a free information and referral service for older adults in the Albuquerque area. This helpline is staffed with specialists who help seniors find community-based services that may help them remain in their homes, including home-delivered and congregate meals, transportation and respite services. |
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.

They really are very good at communicating. We've got a group of consistent caregivers who really know my father, and I think they're really looking to his best interest.

They do what I need to get done, they show up on time, and they are polite to me. With them helping me, I can maintain my energy, which reduces the chances of falling.

They always keep me informed if the caregiver can't show up, and have a replacement. They care for my dad so I can have some peace of mind while I am working.
