The 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey found that the typical senior in New Oxford pays $4,481 per month for home care, which is about $95 less than normal for the state and equal to the national average. However, it’s not the most affordable in the region, a position held by Chambersburg where the average is $4,267. Seniors considering moving to larger towns will probably have to increase their budgets as nearby cities, such as Harrisburg and York, typically charge $4,528 and $4,576 respectively.

At $4,481, the average costs for home care and home health care are identical despite the latter also providing basic medical assistance from registered nurses and therapists. Both services are also more costly than the typical assisted living facility, which charges $3,443 for care, although home care agencies are less costly than the $10,889 nursing homes typically charge for semiprivate rooms. If the senior is able to attend, adult day centers offer the most affordable care at $1,192 per month.

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.
New Oxford seniors in need can call on assistance from many local and state resource providers. The agencies listed here provide help for those struggling to reduce their energy costs or pay a utility bill in addition to getting home-delivered meals if they live alone and rebates on their property taxes or rent.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Heating Assistance/LIHEAP | (800) 638-6816 | LIHEAP is the Low Income Energy Assistance Program, which helps seniors pay their utility bills with a cash grant paid directly to their energy supplier. It's a one-time payment made to seniors in danger of having their heating supply cut off due to an unpaid bill. Grants of between $500 and $1,500 are available depending on the size of the household, and there's no requirement for the senior to repay. |
| Adams County Office for Aging Inc. | (717) 632-7998 | The Adams County Office for Aging is a nonprofit focused on helping adults aged 60 and over remain at home and avoid institutional care unless absolutely necessary. Its range of free and low-cost services includes arranging for freshly prepared hot meals to be delivered to the senior's home and managing a 24/7 emergency response system for those who live alone. The organization also supports unpaid caregivers. |
| Weatherization | (800) 451-9869 | Weatherization is a program administered by South Central Community Action Programs, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting for Adams County residents who depend on low incomes. The purpose of Weatherization is to reduce seniors' home fuel bills by making their living spaces more energy efficient. It achieves this by conducting energy audits to determine areas of improvement, which can mean installing insulation in walls and attics and repairing fixtures that leak heat, such as doors and windows. The program is free for those deemed eligible and is funded by local utility companies and the U.S. Department of Energy. |
| Property Tax and Rent Rebate Program | (800) 548-3240 | Pennsylvanians aged 60+ and widows aged 50 or older can apply for a property tax or rent rebate on their home if it's within the state. The level of rebate depends on several criteria, including the senior's income and the amount of property tax or rent paid. Homeowners must provide proof of taxes paid, and renters need a signed confirmation of rent payments from their landlord or an agent acting on the landlord's behalf. |
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.
