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.
Seniors living at home in Akron can access the following resources to save money or enhance their quality of life. Some programs may only be available to older adults with limited incomes and disabilities.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Homestead Exemption | (330) 643-2661 | If you qualify for the homestead exemption in Summit County, the tax assessor will exempt the first $25,000 of value on your home for property tax purposes. This can provide savings of around $500 per year. To be eligible, you must be aged 65 or older, not have an income exceeding $34,600 and live in the property receiving the exemption as a primary residence. You can apply for this exemption over the phone or by submitting a form through the mail. |
| Meals on Wheels of Northeast Ohio | (330) 515-5605 | If you're unable to obtain meals on your own as a homebound senior, Meals on Wheels may be able to help. Volunteers deliver nutritious meals every day of the week while checking in on the health and well-being of beneficiaries. Meals on Wheels is available to anyone who needs it and you're only expected to pay what you can afford. This program is run by Vantage, an organization that also offers non-medical home care, volunteer opportunities and behavioral health. |
| Akron Home Repair Program | (330) 591-4694 | Seniors who need vital repairs in order to remain safe in their own homes in Akron may qualify for the city's home repair program. You can get up to $25,000 worth of work that's limited to things that affect your health, safety and wellness. All work is performed by city-approved and licensed building contractors. To qualify for this program, you must occupy the home being repaired and earn no more than 80% of the Area Median Income. |
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.
