"I'm a client of Preferred Care at Home. They're very helpful, the girls are pretty nice, and everything is fine. They mostly provide housecleaning. The first one I got wasn't very professional, so I had to get a replacement, which was an easy thing to do, and I got a really good girl and she's got a good work ethic. Communication is very good. They are very respectful, and they always say thank you and inquire how I'm doing. They are just very efficient, so everything is great."

"I found somebody from Visiting Angels to come see my mother at home while I was gone. My mom was very happy with the people they sent. It was two different ladies. One lady came a couple of times, and the rest of the time was the other lady."

"We used Senior Helpers before for my mother. They helped with cleaning, showering, transportation, and they would cook meals for her; anything she needed. She was happy with all her caregivers. The scheduling was the problem. They were scheduled to be there, but they never showed up, and they never called, so we moved on to another company."

"I used Comfort Keepers, and they did great. Although they're really the only ones I found in town that's more experienced in taking care of someone that was paralyzed from the chest down. The reason I needed them was because I was going to be out-of-town for 10 days. I am my daughter's caregiver, and I only use them when I can't do it or when I'm going to be out-of-town. For one thing, I had interviewed a couple of other services that ended up they couldn't do it because they didn't have someone who was qualified to do her BAL program, which involves putting her suppository in the morning, and they could. Basically, it's the dressing and getting her into the chair and the BAL program because there aren't a lot of people that know how to do the BAL program with someone who's paralyzed and can't do it themselves, and they did a good job at that. The reason I'm giving them a 4 is because she's had problems with some bladder infections since I was gone, and I don't know if it had to do with them not cleaning her up good enough or not. A lot of them out there make you pay a minimum four hours per day to come out, but they didn't do that. We only needed them for two hours a day, and they charged us three hours most of the time just because they were coming quite a long way. The person was from way southeast of Huntsville, and we live way north of Huntsville, but they did really well with working for lesser price too. We'll call them again when we need them. "

"Home Care gave excellent care for my mother up until the very end. What ever we needed, we were able to get. All the workers that worked in my mother’s home care was very attentive. They gave me a lot of encouragement when it was hard to cope during my mother’s transitioning. I just love all the workers and I thank them all. "

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Huntsville and the Madison County area have several state and non-profit resources available to help seniors age in place. These services can help with home improvement, finances, health, and more. Families should contact these organizations to discuss the specific needs of their loved ones and what options are available to help.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.


If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
