We partner with Jewish Family & Children’s Services (JF&CS) to offer a sliding scale payment option for home care visits, open to people of all religious affiliations. Through this program, qualifying seniors pay what they can afford for caregiver assistance with activities of daily living.
How to qualify
- Call Cooperative Home Care at 1-800-HOMECARE in Missouri or 866-635-2263 in Illinois to ask for a confidential "Reduced Fee" needs assessment.
- A licensed clinical social worker from JF&CS will call and discuss your specific needs, financial criteria and determine what you can afford to pay. Once they identify your needs, they develop a care plan.
- Subsidies for in-home caregivers range from 10% to 80% off the typical $19.50/hour fee, depending on financial need.
- Minimum care is for one day per week and 3.5 hours per day. Typically, caregivers visit program participants 2 to 3 times per week.
- Every situation is different and requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
