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 Summerville:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dorchester Seniors | (843) 871-5053 | 312 North Laurel Street, Summerville, SC 29483 | Dorchester Seniors is a nonprofit corporation that coordinates with other social organizations and agencies throughout the area of Dorchester County to provide senior residents 60 or older with advocacy services and direct social support via the programs it helps run.

Group lunches are available from 12 p.m. Monday to Friday at both of the organization’s senior centers at no cost and Dorchester Seniors also delivers lunches to homebound elderly residents. |
| GetCareSC | (800) 868-9095 | 1301 Gervais St Suite 350, Columbia, SC 29201 | The state government of South Carolina manages and offers the GetCareSC service through its Department of Aging to residents of the state. GetCareSC essentially offers a massive online resource portal with assorted digital search tools that the elderly, their caregivers and their family members can use to rapidly find legal support programs, financial support services, and medical care subsidy programs available to them. The search portal is curated and regularly updated by the South Carolina Department of Aging. |
| Charleston Area Senior Citizens | (843) 722-4127 | 259 Meeting Street Charleston, SC 29401 | Charleston Area Senior Citizens (CASC) is a local nonprofit that offers Meals on Wheels services and other assistance to elderly residents of the greater Charleston area, which includes Summerville. This organization offers group dining sessions for the elderly too. CASC’s home delivery of meals is done through its coordination with the regional Meals on Wheels program. The CASC also manages an assisted living residence in central Charleston with subsidized services. This is open to a limited number of seniors through an application process. |
| South Carolina Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) | (803) 734-0662 | 1205 Pendleton St, Columbia, SC 29201 | The Federal Government largely funds the state Weatherization Assistance Program for South Carolina. This particular program gives preference to households with families that have disabled members and to homes with elderly individuals 60 or older. Seniors receiving veterans benefits and Supplemental Social Income payments are automatically eligible to join. Otherwise, the program requires that those who apply earn $25,760 or less per year per individual in the household. |
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.
