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 Queens County:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|
Meals Services | (212) 639-9675 | 2 Lafayette Street, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10007 | This service is funded by the New York City Department of Aging. Volunteers distribute meals to homebound seniors in Queens and the other boroughs. Additionally, meals are served at senior centers in the city at lunchtime to seniors taking part in activities at the center. There is no charge for the delivered meals or those served at the center but donations are always appreciated. Meals are delivered five days a week. To be eligible for the meal delivery services, seniors need to prove that they are unable to prepare meals for themselves. |
Senior Centers | Multiple Locations | Multiple locations | Queens Community House operates five senior community centers in the borough of Queens. Hot meals are provided on a daily basis at all of the centers for seniors taking part in activities. There is no cost for the meals or taking part in any of the activities offered. Additionally, the centers provide basic health screenings and assist seniors in managing any chronic health conditions. Activities offered include fitness classes, dance classes, social events, ping pong, educational lectures and arts and crafts. |
New York Weatherization Assistance Program | (866) 275-3427 | Not Listed | The majority of homes in Queens were built when energy was relatively inexpensive, and this means that are generally inefficient and expensive to heat. The New York Weatherization Assistance Program is a federal and state-funded system that aims to assist low-income households to reduce their energy bills. Priority is given to senior citizens and residents with disabilities. Those who receive Supplemental Security Income automatically qualify for weatherization services. Each house is subject to an audit to see which weatherization options will improve the energy efficiency of the property. Services offered include weather stripping, installing insulation and repairing water heaters. |
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.
