I’m using HomeCare.com. It’s fine. They’re very good and very responsive to any concerns I have, and they’ve provided me with a good health care aide, not great necessarily, but good. They also provide light housekeeping, they help me clean myself up, and they take me to my appointment. They get here within a certain time window between 7 and 7:30, and that’s when I need them here. A lot of times my communication is directly with the aides. If she can’t come on a certain day, the agency would contact me to see whether I need some assistance or need somebody to fill me in on a given day. I think I’m paying more than I probably should because they have a mandatory number of days that I can contract for, and that’s probably more than I usually need. To maintain the contract, I have to keep them on a certain number of days.

Paying for Home Care in Parma, OH

Financial Assistance for Home Care in Parma, OH
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.
- Long-Term Care Insurance: Long-Term Care Insurance covers expenses related to senior care, including in-home care. Depending on the policy type, beneficiaries may receive a cash payment to use towards long-term care or reimbursement for qualifying long-term care expenses. Note that there are limitations- typically a maximum benefit of $150 per day- and exact coverage terms vary depending on the exact policy, so always check the details.
- Medicare: Medicare does not cover in-home care because it is classified as custodial, or non-medical, care. However, some Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, which offer expanded benefits, may cover in-home custodial care.
- Medicaid: Medicaid coverage of in-home care varies between different states because it is not a federally mandated benefit. Currently, all states cover some in-home care either through their standard Medicaid or a waiver program. The specific coverage rules are set individually by each state.
- Veterans’ Benefits: The Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly cash payment that beneficiaries can use to pay for senior care, including in-home care services. To qualify for A&A, Veterans must already receive the VA pension and meet several additional requirements, including needing assistance with the activities of daily living.Contact the Department of Veterans Affairs to learn more.
- Reverse Mortgages: Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are federally insured loans that are available to homeowners age 62 and over. Reverse mortgages allow you to access a portion of your home’s equity in cash, tax free. Many seniors use reverse mortgages to finance their care expenses, including in-home care. Note that although there are no monthly payments due on reverse mortgage loans, borrowers do have to repay the loan once the last surviving homeowner passes away, moves, or sells the home.
Free & Low-Cost Home Care Resources in Parma, OH
Older adults living in Cuyahoga County can find various nonprofit agencies and government programs designed to help seniors age in place. Some of these services provide financial assistance for home upkeep, while others focus on keeping seniors connected to the local community.
This program works to help seniors cut down on energy costs through home upgrades. Program representatives perform home inspections to determine services that can make them more energy-efficient, such as updating older windows and HVAC systems. Income restrictions apply, but adults over 60 are among the program's priority groups, and adults on SSI are automatically eligible.
This program, funded both federally and locally, helps seniors access fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs from the area's farmers' markets. Coupons are distributed on a yearly basis to participating adults and may be used on any eligible foods sold at participating farmers' markets.
The HEAP provides a one-time payment intended to help income-eligible Ohio residents with paying for their home heating bills. In most cases, the payment goes directly to the utility company. As with the HWAP, seniors receiving SSI are automatically considered eligible for the program.
This agency is a central point for programs and services aimed at supporting seniors in northeast Ohio. Its PASSPORT program is specifically targeted at helping seniors live independently. It offers an array of services that include respite care, emergency response, personal care assistance and more.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
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.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average cost for in-home elderly care in Parma?
Genworth Financial’s annual Cost of Care Survey finds that the average monthly cost of in-home care in Parma is $5,196. Home health care, usually performed by skilled nurses, is identically priced. This figure is based on 44 hours of care per week, so it may vary for seniors who need to be supervised around the clock or who only need care coverage on specific occasions.
What types of services can a home care agency in Parma provide?
Home care agencies provide help tailored to the particular needs of their client seniors. Workers may assist with basic personal tasks, such as showering and getting dressed; they also help out with simple housekeeping, such as doing laundry, weeding gardens and cleaning. Cooking, medication management and money management assistance are a few other services home care agencies often provide.
How do you pay for senior care at home?
While private pay is always an option, many seniors turn to government programs and entitlements such as veterans’ benefits. The Ohio Home Care Waiver Program allows Medicaid-eligible adults under 60 years of age to receive financial assistance intended to help them defray the costs of in-home care.
Assisted living homes vs. home care: how to decide?
The choice between assisted living and home care primarily comes down to social preferences, safety considerations and budget options. In Parma, the monthly cost of assisted living is roughly $250 cheaper than that of home care, which translates to a savings of approximately $3,000 per year. Assisted living is often the best choice for seniors who thrive on social interaction, and living in a vibrant community is associated with some mental health benefits as well. Home care is more suited for seniors who highly value their privacy and autonomy.
What is in-home respite care?
Many primary caregivers get very little time off; in-home respite care services give primary caregivers a short-term break from their duties. The length of respite care depends on the provider and the contract. In some cases, respite care might just cover a few hours in the evening so that the primary caregiver can run errands, while in others, respite care might cover a full week or more.
