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.
Milwaukee-area seniors have many resources they can tap into for assistance that help them age in place well. These programs and services from government and nonprofit agencies focus on financial help and support to let seniors remain as independent as possible at home. Families can contact the groups below to get more information about these opportunities.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels | (414) 289-6874 | Milwaukee County residents ages 60 and older can receive free home-delivered meals through Meals on Wheels. Designed for homebound seniors, this service delivers a hot noon meal every weekday to assist older adults who struggle to make their own food at home. Along with the food, drivers provide a friendly visit. |
| Wisconsin Homestead Credit | (608) 266-2486 | Wisconsin residents age 62 or older with low income may qualify for the Wisconsin Homestead Credit. This tax credit provides a credit of up to $1,168 to offset their property taxes or rent payments. It can make it easier for seniors to remain in their homes. |
| Revitalize Milwaukee | (414) 312-7531 | Revitalize Milwaukee operates several programs to help seniors and disabled individuals in the city with home repairs and modifications. Seniors can contact the program for quick home repairs or assistance with improvements to make their homes safer. Revitalize Milwaukee also offers a free chore service to help with general maintenance. |
| Wisconsin Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) | (866) 432-8947 | Through WAP, Milwaukee seniors who qualify as low-income can get free help with sealing and insulating a home to make it more energy-efficient and reduce the impact of winter weather. Seniors can also get general health and safety inspections of their homes. |
| Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program | (866) 432-8947 | Seniors struggling to pay their energy bills can get help through the Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program. This income-based program provides a one-time payment during the heating season to pay some of a household’s energy costs. Due to fixed incomes, many seniors qualify for this help. |
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.
