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.
Seniors who wish to remain in their homes for as long as possible can get assistance from several Fairfax agencies dedicated to assisting older residents. These resources cover needs seniors might have regarding maintaining their homes, accessing financial aid and maintaining social engagement.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Home Repair for the Elderly Program for Elderly and Disabled Adults | (703) 246-5179 | Senior homeowners aged 62+ may be eligible for this free home modification program. To qualify, older residents must meet the income requirements and live in Fairfax County. Repair work seniors may benefit from includes electrical outlet replacement, accessibility ramp installation and minor plumbing work. |
| Fairfax Area Meals on Wheels Program | (703) 324-5409 | This Meals on Wheels service is operated by the county’s Department of Family Services. Eligible seniors receive two daily meals during the week and one meal to last the weekends. This program is available to homebound older residents aged 60 and above. |
| The Virginia Energy Assistance Program | (855) 635-4370 | The state of Virginia can help low-income older adults pay for their energy bills. Eligible seniors may receive financial assistance for their gas bills, cooling bills and emergency assistance when they’re at risk of having their services shut off. |
| CHP Weatherization Assistance Program | (540) 665-0200 | By getting their home weatherized, seniors can save on their energy consumption resulting in lower bills. This program is federally funded and delivered by Community Action Partners. Eligibility for this program is determined based on income, and homes with senior residents receive priority on the waiting list. |
| Fairfax County In-Home Care Programs | (703) 324-7948 | The County’s Department of Family Services – Older Adults offers seniors two in-home care programs. For low-income older adults determined as eligible by a social worker, the Adult Services program provides free in-home care. Seniors may also receive this type of care with the ElderLink program for a sliding scale fee. |
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.
