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 in Richmond who need an extra hand throughout the day may be able to find the services they need through community-based programs and state agencies. The following table includes resources such as the Area Agency on Aging, the local senior center and the veterans’ service office, which may help older adults find the care they need in the community.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Linwood Robinson Senior Center | (804) 646-3115 | The Linwood Robinson Senior Center is a nonprofit organization that provides social support and recreational activities to those aged 60 and over. Members participate in a range of activities, including walking and bowling programs, table games and holiday-themed events.

| Richmond Vet Center | (877) 927-8387 | The Richmond Vet Center is a VA-run facility where older veterans can get one-on-one benefits counseling and assistance, which may help them obtain financial assistance for home care.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes 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.
