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 to pay 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 Delaware:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| People In Need of Delaware County | (740) 363-6284 | 138 Johnson Drive, Delaware, OH 43015 | The Regional charity People In Need offers a range of services for local residents of Delaware and the surrounding county. Its programs are open to the elderly and to others dealing with economic difficulties. This organization’s services include assistance in paying emergency medical or dental bills, cash grants for payment of rent and housing expenses and emergency funds for energy and utility bill payments. People In Need also offers a food pantry service for giving qualified individuals meal packages up to five times per year. The organization also runs a free legal aid service. |
| Ohio Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) | (800) 282-0880 | 77 South High Street, 28th Floor, Columbus OH 43215 | The weatherization service for the state of Ohio is funded with federal, state and utility service funds but administered by the Ohio Development Services Agency as the Home Weatherization Assistance Program or HWAP. Senior residents of Delaware may contact the central office in Columbus to apply. HWAP gives preference to seniors and certain other family groups. Those receiving Supplemental Security Income payments are automatically eligible. Otherwise, elderly individuals may apply if they have an income of less than $34,840 for a two-person household or $25,760 for a single-person home. |

In addition to counseling services and workshops on elderly care, Family Caregiver Support assists caregivers and seniors in finding subsidies and funding sources for care in other state or federal programs. On a limited basis, COAAA uses the Family Caregiver Support Program to directly fund caregivers on a short-term basis. |
| Lutheran Services of Central Ohio | (740)-369-5267 | Oakhurst Place, 2178, Bruce Road. Delaware, Ohio 43015 | Lutheran Services of Central Ohio offers several different support programs with each having its own unique office in the area of Delaware County.

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.
