Best Home Care: Caring Stars 2025

The vast majority of seniors desire to stay in their own homes and communities as they age – 3 out of 4 share this opinion. However, the realities of aging (declining mobility, difficulty seeing and hearing, or complications from illnesses) can make aging-in-place increasingly difficult over time. Elderly adults often need help with the essential activities of everyday life, such as preparing meals, getting dressed, safely getting around the home, taking their medication and going to doctor’s appointments.

Initially, many older adults may be able to cope with these increasing needs with support from their loved ones. However, some don’t have that support system, and even those with family nearby can find that the burden becomes too great (caregiver burnout is real!). Finding the right in-home care agency can be life-changing – making all the difference in an elderly person’s ability to remain at home with a high quality of life. Older adults living in senior living communities can also benefit from supplemental care via in-home care agencies, delaying or removing the need to move to a nursing home.

To support seniors and their families in finding the best agencies, we are shining a spotlight on the top-rated in-home care agencies in the nation — the Caring Stars of 2025.  For 2025, there are 345 senior care agencies in in 45 states and the District of Columbia recognized for service excellence, based on consumer ratings and reviews from family caregivers and older adults. These trusted home care agencies received this award based on reviews written by seniors and their families around the nation.
