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 Doylestown:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels of Central Bucks County | (215) 345-6065 | 700 N. Shady Retreat Rd., Doylestown, PA 18901 | Meals on Wheels of Central Bucks County has been delivering nutritious food to seniors since 1972. A health care facility prepares the dishes and packs two complete meals onto a tray, which is then delivered by volunteers. The nonprofit organization charges $8 per tray, and seniors can choose how many days of the week, up to five, that they would like to receive a delivery. |
| Bucks County Area Agency on Aging | (267) 880-5700 | 55 E.

Box 510, Holicong, PA 18928 | Bucks County Transport provides two bus lines, the Doylestown Dart and Dart West, to ensure individuals can access affordable transportation in the local area.

| Bucks County Opportunity Council | (215) 345-8175 | 100 Doyle St., Doylestown, PA 18901 | As a 501c3 nonprofit, the Bucks County Opportunity Council offers many services free of charge to individuals in need, including assistance with tax preparation and a weatherization program aimed at reducing home energy bills. The organization also offers the CFSP Senior Food Box program that allows individuals aged 65 and over with low incomes to receive nonperishable food supplies, such as canned vegetables, peanut butter or cereal. |
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.
