The 5 Best Home Health Agencies for Seniors in Albany, NY for 2025

"The nurses of Vna of Albany, Saratoga, Rensselaer Chha were fantastic, but they had to stop. Since they stopped my mom got sick. They would come in and do physical therapy and occupational therapy, and the nurses would come in to check her heart for three weeks daily or every other day. They were doing exercises with her, and she was doing really well, but then they stopped because her insurance wouldn't pay for it anymore. They seemed to think she was doing better. Those women were great and I would recommend them to anybody. They were wonderful, they would call me first a couple of hours before they were coming, and check whether it was OK for them to come."

"I am very pleased with the service at Interim. They are very caring and very interested in my welfare. My nurse is very conscientious and concerned about my health, and he answers many questions about my concerns and seems very informed and knowledgeable. I’m happy with the service I am receiving. "

"Accu Care Home Health Services was fine. The only issue I had was that they don’t have enough people on staff. If someone calls in sick, there basically isn't any help. "

"I would never choose to use this agency again. They are understaffed, resulting in uncovered shifts. The staff they do have is spotty: for one good one you get three poor. I kept giving them chances to resolve their inadequacies, but the straw that broke the camel's back happened one weekend when I was out of town. I got a call from the scheduler at the time the aide was supposed to be taking care of my mother telling me that she had arrived but could not get in because the supervisor had not given her a key. When I asked where the key was, I was told by the scheduler it was in her desk, so I suggested she get it and deliver it to the aide. The scheduler said she did not have access to the building on the weekend, so I suggested that she contact someone who had access and have her deliver the key. This was not done, resulting in me having to return from out of town to car for my Mother. When I expressed my concern to Living Resources at their failure and my Mother's situation I was told to call 911 if I was worried. No one from Living Resources ever showed up that day! "
