AGING AT HOME PROGRAM

As we progress through life, our needs increase, making access to quality care essential. Rising home care costs pose challenges for those paying out of pocket, complicating affordability. While home care is generally cheaper than assisted living, inflation has led to significant price hikes, leaving many older Americans struggling to find affordable.

Families face a critical question: how can they finance necessary support for loved ones? The financial burden requires careful budget reassessment and creative funding solutions. Many realize that inflation has made long-term care unaffordable, forcing them to confront how much they can realistically allocate for support.

In some cases, older adults have had to leave care facilities or reduce in-home support due to soaring costs, raising emotional concerns about providing adequate care. It’s important to consider:

- Is your family prepared for these financial decisions?
- Are there alternatives for ongoing care, or do you feel trapped?

Families should proactively address these challenges. Working with RES Home Care Service Coordinators can help navigate long-term care insurance and identify funding opportunities. By focusing on eligibility and support systems, families can make informed decisions, easing anxiety about aging and care costs for a more secure future.
