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.
When seniors age in place, it’s often essential to find resources and information that help save money and improve their independence and security. Some of the resources listed below offer free legal help. Some operate senior centers that provide a variety of programs and activities. Others can help low-income seniors pay for the cost of in-home care.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Montgomery County Senior Services | (610) 278-3000 | The local Area Agency on Aging coordinates the activities of organizations that serve seniors in the community. It offers seniors the chance to attend community college. The agency helps seniors who have issues with hoarding. Volunteers provide transportation to medical events or local senior centers. Food assistance is available when needed. |
| SeniorLAW Center | (877) 727-7529 | The SeniorLAW Center can provide direct representation to seniors when they need help with civil law matters. The attorneys and staff who work at the center are also happy to help seniors with housing issues, senior exploitation, advanced directives, power of attorney, wills and consumer issues. |
| Medical Assistance and Payment of Long-Term Care Services | (800) 692-7462 | Low-income seniors who age in place are eligible for this program. Seniors will find financial assistance for health care benefits, in-home care and long-term support. Older residents of Jenkintown or their caregivers can check their eligibility at the state government's COMPASS website. |
| Pennsylvania Department of Aging | (717) 783-1550 | Offering numerous programs and resources, the Pennsylvania Department of Aging works to promote the independence and well-being of older Pennsylvanians. The department offers transportation, nutritious meals to seniors who can't prepare their meals or don't have anyone to help them, health and wellness programs and it operates 500 senior centers throughout the state. |
| Pennsylvania Medicare Education and Decision Insight | (800) 783-7067 | Medicaid-eligible seniors or caregivers can contact the Pennsylvania Medicare Education and Decision Insight (PA MEDI) to obtain free Medicare counseling. Its counselors provide free, objective and confidential advice about Medicare options such as Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicare Supplemental Plans, Prescription D Drug Plans and Long-Term Care Insurance. Counselors can also explain enrollment, what services each part of Medicare covers, and when they do and don't need a Medicare prescription Part D drug plan. Counselors can also offer advice on the Medicare appeal process and how to find programs that will help pay for prescription drugs and other aspects of Medicare. |
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.
