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 Happy Valley:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|
Oregon Health Plan | (800) 699-9075 | 16440 SE 82nd Drive, Clackamas, OR, 97015 | The health plan is a Medicaid program available to Oregon residents younger than 65 years of age whose monthly incomes are below the thresholds. These are $1,468 for an individual and $3,013 for a family of four. The plan’s payments can contribute towards the costs of home care for seniors living independently, including those who require skilled nursing services at home. |
Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance (SHIBA) | (503) 655-8269 | 2051 Kaen Road, Oregon City, OR, 97045 | SHIBA is a program for seniors who are Medicare beneficiaries and those considering signing up. Certified counselors provide their services for free. These include explaining Medicare in plain language terms, informing seniors about supplemental plans, such as Medicare Advantage, and helping them enroll in the plans of their choice. Although the counselors can’t direct seniors towards specific plans, they can help in other ways, such as informing them about additional benefits linked to their income levels. |
Clackamas County – Meals on Wheels Inc. | (503) 655-7701 | 1050 Portland Avenue, Gladstone, OR, 97027 | The program is partly funded through donations of $7 per meal and federal programs. It operates from multiple senior centers in the Portland area, with seniors in Happy Valley being served from the Gladstone Senior Center. Meals are delivered at lunchtimes on weekdays and include the recommended daily allowance of nutrients for seniors. Fresh fruits and desserts are often added to meals when funds allow. Seniors with special dietary needs are catered to. |
Weatherization Program | (503) 655-8840 | 112 11th Street, Oregon City, OR, 97045 | Clackamas County provides a free weatherization program for qualifying county renters and homeowners that help prepare their homes for seasonal changes and may reduce their energy consumption and costs. This may include insulating attics and walls and possibly windows if it is deemed cost-effective within the program’s budgetary constraints. |
Transportation Reaching People (TRP) | (503) 655-8208 | 2051 Kaen Road, #135, Oregon City, OR, 97045 | TRP is one of several transportation programs administered by Clackamas County for residents aged 60 and over and the disabled. Volunteers use their own vehicles to ferry seniors for free to medical appointments, to collect groceries and other errands essential to helping them maintain independent lives in their own homes. The other free programs include Vets Driving Vets, which helps U.S. military veterans travel to important appointments in vehicles driven by other vets. |
