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.
Austin offers seniors multiple free and low-cost resources to allow them to age safely and comfortably in place. Agency representatives can provide further insight on the area’s available local and federal programs.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Area Agency on Aging of the Capital Area | (512) 916-6062 | Serving Austin and the surrounding area, the AAACA provides seniors with a wide range of free services, including meal delivery, financial assistance and in-home care. The organization's specialists address individual needs, referring clients to the agencies that best meet specific circumstances. |
| AGE of Central Texas | (512) 451-4611 | AGE provides seniors with multiple opportunities to participate in daytime community events through its Thrive Social and Wellness Centers. The center's Memory Care Connections assists those in the early stages of memory loss with information and resources. AGE also offers caregivers respite services. |
| Austin Vet Center | (512) 416-1314 | The VA's specially trained Veterans Service Officers assist seniors who've served in the armed forces to access available state and federal benefits. VSOs help veterans and their families navigate the application process, and they remain an available contact for follow-up information. |
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.

Review of CareFor - Austin, TX
I like the two girls, Kim and Sally, who come to see me; they are outstanding. They help the most by making sure I eat, helping me shower, and helping me get ready for the day.
