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.
While there are many resources that can assist with paying for in-home care, seniors may require additional aid in other areas of their lives to remain in their homes. These programs provide free and low-cost services that can assist seniors in remaining in their homes longer. They range from tax exemptions and regular meals to bill assistance and home modifications. To apply for these resources or get information about eligibility, interested seniors are encouraged to contact the programs directly or apply online at the provided websites.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|

| Property Tax Assistance | (512) 756-8291 | Seniors in Texas can receive several property tax exemptions, which are listed on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts website and may include exemptions for school district, county and other taxes.

| Critical Housing Accessibility Modification Program (CHAMP) | (512) 615-6820 | CHAMP provides low-income seniors with accessibility modifications to their homes, such as ramps, grab bars and widened doors.

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.
