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 who live in Salem can lower their home care expenses through several programs offered by government and non-profit agencies. These agencies can assist with utility costs, home repairs or modifications, transportation and more to help ensure seniors on a fixed income have the resources they need to cover their budgets. Contacting the agencies below can provide more details on the services provided and begin the application or registration process.
| Resource | Contact | Service |

| Center 50+ Home Help | (503) 588-6303 | Seniors in need of minor home repairs and modifications can reach out to the Fix-It Brigade of the Center 50+ Home Help program. Volunteers can assist with some seasonal yard work, light repairs and installation of grab bars. |

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times 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.
