Apply for Support
At Compassion for Everyone, we understand how overwhelming it can be to care for a loved one—or to manage your own health—when financial limitations stand in the way of getting the help you need.
That’s why our support program exists: to bridge the gap for families and individuals facing medical challenges who may not have the financial means to afford home care services. Whether you’re caring for an aging parent, a child with special needs, or managing your own long-term condition, you are not alone—and support is within reach.
We take a personalized, case-by-case approach to each application, because every situation is unique, and every person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported with compassion.
Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about who can apply, eligibility, intake periods, how to apply, and what to expect after you’ve submitted your application.
