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 Chapel Hill:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels Orange County | (919) 942 2948 | P.O. Box 2102, Chapel Hill, NC 27515 | Meals on Wheels delivers food to people who otherwise have trouble accessing nutrition, providing five meals per week. Deliveries take place between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. If recipients are not home during that time period, the organization can make once-weekly deliveries of five frozen meals. Eligible enrollees include homebound seniors as well as convalescing individuals. A sliding, income-based scale determines the fees for meals. |
| Rebuilding Together of the Triangle | (919) 341-5980 | 200 Air Trans Dr., Suite 200, Morrisville, NC 27560 | Rebuilding Together is a nonprofit organization that performs home repairs and renovations for low-income individuals, including seniors and veterans. The organization builds wheelchair ramps and handles other accessibility modifications. Its workers also correct problems with gutters, flooring and electrical systems, among other elements of a home. Eligibility requirements include being up to date on property taxes and having at least two years of prior residency and ownership of the home. An income cutoff applies as well. |
| Orange County Department on Aging | (919) 968-2070 | 2551 Homestead Rd., Chapel Hill, NC 27516 | The OCDOA serves both seniors and caregivers. It runs the Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program, which answers questions regarding Medicare. Another offering is the Aging Helpline, which can be reached at (919) 968-2087 and provides information on numerous senior-relevant topics. Additionally, the organization helps older adults find appropriate transportation solutions. The OCDOA also oversees multiple programs designed to help seniors safely continue living at home. |
| North Carolina Weatherization Assistance Program | (877) 623-6748 | 217 W Jones St., Raleigh, NC 27603 | The Weatherization Assistance Program boosts the energy efficiency and safety of homes. Its workers evaluate residences, including multifamily, mobile and single-family homes, and repair and replace heating and air systems. They also install insulation and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The program gives preference to the elderly. Income limits apply. |
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.
