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 Huntington:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expanded In-Home Services for the Elderly Program | (631) 853-8200 | 100 Veterans Memorial Hwy., Hauppauge, NY 11788 | Participants in the E.I.S.E.P. program can receive a range of non-medical services, including grocery shopping, laundry, changing beds and light cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms. Program participants are required to pay a share of the costs relative to their income, with $0 being the minimum and full cost of services the maximum. Seniors with incomes above Medicaid eligibility can apply at the Suffolk County Office for the Aging. |
| Residential Repair Program | (631) 351-3253 | 423 Park Ave., Rm. 208, Huntington, NY 11743 | The Residential Repair Program helps older adults complete small household repairs at a reduced cost. The minimum age to qualify is 60, and priority is given to frail and low-income seniors. Although the labor is free, program participants have to pay for the parts and supplies. Common repairs include: |
| Real Property Tax Exemption | (631) 351-3226 | 100 Main St., Rm. 100, Huntington, NY 11743 | By claiming the Real Property Tax Exemption, seniors could reduce their property tax liability by up to 50%. To be eligible, seniors must have owned their home for at least 12 months, be age 65 or older and meet income requirements. Applications and income verification worksheets can be sent to the town assessor’s office. |
| Home Delivered Meals | (631) 421-1273 | 100 Main St., Huntington, NY 11743 | The Home Delivered Meals program is designed to ensure homebound seniors are meeting their nutritional needs with the additional benefit of a regular status check and social engagement. Meals are freshly prepared at a local senior center and approved by a registered dietitian to meet one-third of seniors’ daily suggested food allowance. To qualify, seniors must be at least 60 years of age and unable to prepare their own meals. Donations are suggested but not required. |
| Home Energy Assistance Program | (631) 853-8825 | 200 Wireless Blvd., Hauppauge, NY 11788 | The Home Energy Assistance Program subsidizes heating costs for low-income seniors. Residents can receive one payment from H.E.A.P. per year, with benefit amounts beginning at $21 and continuing up to several hundreds of dollars. Seniors have to meet income guidelines and live in a home that’s heated by an appropriate source which may include oil, electricity, natural gas, coal or propane. For more information, seniors should contact the Department of Social Services. |
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.
