The 10 Best Home Health Agencies for Seniors in Merrillville, IN for 2025

"We hired the services of Anchor Home Health Care for my father because my cousin also used them. My dad used them a couple of times a week while he was on chemotherapy. He also had physical therapy with the agency. I wish they improved their customer relations which included answering the phone and making follow-ups. "

"My sister and I were in a panic because our Mom, who has Alzheimer's was going to be released from the hospital soon with a new feeding tube. One of the CNAs at the hospital recommended Brightstar for home care and we're so glad she did. They got us signed up on VERY short noticed and had someone at our home to help the day after Mom got discharged. Right now my Mom needs total care, help with hygiene, dressing, everything --and they even helped with the laundry --which wasn't expected but greatly appreciated ;) We love the personal home helper and the nurse that came out to do the assessment. everyone has been friendly, professional, punctual and very helpful. We don't know what we would have done without them. I highly recommend this agency"

"Good follow up and pleasant people to do business with."

"wonderful staff!!!! "

"5 stars, excellent. My mother died last year at the age of 69, she had alzheimers early onset, she went into failure to thrive, we chose vna hospice in valpo. My father died 7 weeks later from advanced cancer, he also died in vna hospice in valpo. The most caring, compassionate, family friendly place, during the most difficult time of losing both parents, there is no other place i would recommend for a loved one. "

"The nurses really care about how the patients are doing, that was my biggest like because these days everyone is such in a rush. "

"Gateway Health Systems is excellent. I love it. The nurse comes to see my mother and my husband. My mother was crazy about the nurse. She's here every week, does her blood pressure and she goes an extra mile. I would certainly recommend them. "

"Very caring especially my Nurse... Office staff are respectful and accommodating... "

"We used Compassion Home Care of Illinois for my mom post hip replacement surgery. Compassion Home Care of Illinois replaced a company that could not provide reliable care coverage, and they really stepped up to the plate! I called them the day before a holiday weekend, in the evening, and at 11AM the next morning we had replacement care givers. We had the same two care givers the entire time we used their service, and they could not have been nicer or more caring. They put the other agency to shame with the amount of work they did with and for mom in the short time they were there – they never slowed down! I can highly recommend Compassion Home Care of Illinois for anyone needing live-in care. We will definitely reach out to them again if we need more assistance. "

"My mom moved in with me after suffering a severe stroke and no longer being able to live independently. Interim Home Health Care was recommended to me by a social worker assigned to helping us with the transition. The day after my mom moved in, a social worker from Interim Home Health Care, March, was sent to my home. March was great. I'd already been introduced to many social workers and had lots of services recommended to me. However, March was different. March took it upon herself to contact these services for us and gave recommendations that saved us a lot of money. She knows what resources are out there and she will do anything to help you get them. Interim Home Health Care also provided a Physical Therapist and a nurse for my mom. The nurse assigned to us was Mary Catherine and she too was wonderful! She is very knowledgeable on nutrition and her caring, patient personality was one we looked forward to. The Physical Therapist, Howard, was also wonderful. When my mom arrived to my home, she was not able to walk or even stand on her own. Howard's patience and expertise got my mom's legs strong enough to stand, walk with a cane, and even go up stairs! He got her to a point that made our situation easier and safer. We love Interim Home Health care and would recommend them to anyone. "

"Home health services provided to my mother were amazing! Communication was on-going, staff arrived on time. Caring and knowledgeable staff that did a great job getting my mom back on her feet. Highly recommend their services. "

"Ashley M. has demonstrated the willingness and ability to do a great job. She's been bubly and thorough with the tasks I need help with. She's definitely a valuable employee by my standards. Thanks so much. "

"My mother is 77 years old who had about 12 brain surgeries. She was fine for years, but after the last two she had in December she can't walk and she's in diapers now. We worked with OMNI for two months after she came out of the nursing home. They sent two different guys, Chris, a physical therapist and Kingsley an occupational therapist. The nurse, Val, would come in and check mom's vitals while Sheila, the CNA, would help me with bathing mom twice a week. They were wonderful. I bought them Christmas presents because they were starting to become part of my family. They were perfect. "

"My wife was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and I have PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy). We have Amedisys serving my wife and they’re great. They have a nurse coming in to change her foley catheter on a monthly basis. They are very good and are on time. My wife is very happy with them. It is definitely a positive experience. We’ve been a client for more than 5 years. They are truly professional, highly efficient in the healthcare department, and reliable most of all. Their staff is knowledgeable of the very difficult situation and have good attitudes. They’re the right people and good people to us. They are a good match for what my wife needs. "
