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 Catharpin:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels | (703) 792-6374 | 5 County Complex Court, Suite 240, Prince William, VA 22192 | Catharpin seniors may be eligible to receive nutritious, prepared meals Monday through Friday from the nearest senior center. The program is administered by the Prince William Area Agency on Aging in Partnership with No Wrong Door.

Shelf-stable or frozen items will be delivered to seniors who can’t be reached every day of the week. |
| Energy Assistance Program | (703) 792-7500 | 7987 Ashton Avenue, Suite 200, Manassas, VA 20109 | The Prince William County Department of Social Services, with funding help from the federal government, provides financial assistance for seniors who are unable to pay for their heating or cooling bills. Applications for heating assistance must be submitted in October or November, and cooling assistance applications are accepted June 15 through August 15. Funds can be used for paying heating bills, purchasing or repairing cooling systems and cooling fans. There are no fees for this program. |
| Tax Relief for Elderly and Disabled Program | (703) 792-6780 | 4379 Ridgewood Center Drive, Suite 203, Prince William, Virginia 22192-5308 | Depending on income, some seniors in Catharpin may be eligible for relief on their property taxes. Applicants must be aged 65 or over, have a gross household income of less than $89,900, have a combined financial net worth of $340,000 or less and currently reside in the property for which they are seeking tax relief.

| Project Mend-A-House | (703) 792-7663 | 8787 Commerce Court, Manassas, VA 20110 | This non-profit organization serves low-income seniors in Prince William County, including Catharpin, with home repairs and modifications that allow for aging in place. They recruit volunteer carpenters, plumbers, electricians, gardeners and other professionals to work at no charge to the homeowner. Funds and materials are sourced from the county government as well as various private and non-profit organizations. The organization also provides fall assessment screenings to help seniors reduce their chances of getting injured. |
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.
