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.
These programs are offered by government agencies and nonprofit organizations for little or no cost to seniors. They help fight food insecurity, keep seniors connected to their community, assist in finding home care services and otherwise help improve quality of life.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Area Agency on Aging West Central Ohio | (937) 223-4357 | This nonprofit agency offers a wide variety of senior-focused services, including Passport and ComCare, two separate programs that help older adults develop a plan for aging in place. It's also the contact point for MyCare Ohio, which helps coordinate health care services for seniors. |
| Senior Resource Connection | (937) 223-8246 | The SRC is the local administrator of Dayton's Meals on Wheels program, through which volunteers deliver hot lunch meals to area seniors. It also runs the related Senior's Best Friend program, which helps animal-owning seniors save money by providing them with free pet food. |
| Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley Medical Equipment Loan | (937) 528-6357 | Wheelchairs, crutches, rollators and other mobility and assistive devices may be borrowed for no cost from this community organization's loan locker. In some cases, program operators can provide home delivery of items. GESMV also runs a free web-streaming service that provides readings of local print media, which can help visually impaired and homebound seniors keep abreast of happenings in the community. |
| Ohio Senior Property Tax Exemption | (800) 282-1780 | Low-income Ohio seniors are eligible to exempt up to $25,000 worth of home value in calculating property taxes on their primary residence. This exemption usually reduces the property tax obligation by roughly $500, although the amount of savings depends on the original home value. |
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.
