As a boon to Columbia senior citizens, the average cost of home care is the same as home health care which often involves more direct medical supervision like dispensing medications and taking vitals. Adult day health opportunities are the least expensive option, but individuals must commute to a group center to participate in classes and projects. Assisted living facilities offer health care for less than the cost of home care for a significant savings of just over $1,100 monthly. For the highest price, residents can choose a nursing home facility.

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 Columbia:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|
The FriendShip | (803) 602-6434 | 2827 Wheat St., Columbia, SC 29205 | The FriendShip is a nonprofit that offers a variety of programs to help seniors live independently and healthy in their own homes and engage in their communities. Volunteers provide personalized support with home maintenance, transportation, errands and technology assistance to members aged 50 and older. The organization also connects members with resources for plumbing, home inspections and contractors. |
Senior Resources | (803) 252-7734 | 2817 Millwood Ave., Columbia, SC 29205 | Senior Resources provides care and services for older Columbians who wish to remain in their homes but cannot afford private services. This organization brings food to seniors through its Meals on Wheels, Senior Care Pantry and Food Co-op programs. Experienced and trained caregivers help with activities of daily living on a temporary or long-term basis. Clients can receive assistive medical devices such as shower seats, walkers and wheelchairs. Senior companions offer respite services, meal preparation, light housekeeping and friendship. |
Lourie Center | (803) 779-1971, ext. 102 | 1650 Park Circle, Columbia, SC 29201 | The Lourie Center offers low-cost transportation for older adults aged 50 and older and disabled individuals within the downtown Columbia area. The wheelchair-accessible shuttle bus runs five mornings per week to take riders to medical appointments and on personal errands and shopping trips. Clients must live within the boundaries of Sunset Drive to the north, Huger/Elmwood to the west, Rosewood to the south and Beltline to the east. |
South Carolina Low Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) | (803) 807-9811 | 1915 Harden St., Columbia, SC 29204 | The LIHEAP is a federal emergency assistance grant that provides seniors with assistance for safe and efficient home heating and cooling. Clients can also receive energy crisis assistance and help with utility bill payments. Qualification is subject to income guidelines and proof of need. Wateree Community Actions, Inc. administers the program in Columbia. |
Home Builders Association | (803) 256-6238 | 625 Taylor St. #A, Columbia, SC 29201 | The Home Builders Association of South Carolina maintains a directory of Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS) contractors who are specially trained in the best ways to modify residences for seniors who prefer to remain in their homes as they age. Some contractors work for a reduced fee or sliding scale. These professionals can also point clients to grant and loan programs to help finance repairs and modifications. |
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.
