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 |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-Willamette Valley Community Action Agency | (503) 588-9016 | Residents over the age of 60 may qualify for a monthly discount on their garbage and utility bills if their income is at or below 60% of the state median income and they are listed as the account holder for a single-family residence. The organization may also be able to offer a one-time payment toward the resident's water bill and electric bill. |
| 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. |
| Community Action Weatherization Services | (503) 315-7055 | Assistance with home weatherization can be provided to residents of Polk and Marion county who fall within the non-profit organization's income guidelines. A representative will assess the home to determine weatherization needs and then complete the work required to ensure more comfortable living through extreme weather events. |
| Marion-Polk Food Share | (503) 364-2856 | The Marion-Polk Food Share operates the Salem Meals On Wheels program, providing daily meals Monday through Friday and the option of frozen meals to use on the weekend. Meals are delivered to the recipient's home and can be purchased for $5 per meal unless eligible for a subsidy that covers some or all of the cost. |
| Polk County Tax Exemptions for Seniors | (863) 534-4700 | Seniors who qualify for the regular homestead and fall within income guidelines may qualify for a senior exemption on their property taxes. Those who have lived in their homes for 25 years or more and have an assessed value that does not exceed $250,000 may qualify for an additional exemption. |
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.
