The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Columbia, CT for 2025

"I utilized Homewatch caregivers through some difficult transitions our family faced, in dealing with my husband's early onset alzheimers. I began using caregivers initially as a supplement to my care, while I was at work. Over time, as my husband's cognitive and functional abilities declined, I was able to increase the CNA's presence in my home, until we had 24/7 coverage, and full care support. A key strength of Homewatch in my opinion, is their consultative approach, in terms of matching the right caregivers as my husband's needs changed. And the family's needs changed as well. The owner and her support staff try to match and fit the caregiver/hours/coverage and support to our individual situation. Even when an injury, ultimately moved my husband to a nursing facility, the staff was there to coach us through that experience as well. I recommend this agency.. they are professional, involved and they listen. Which is so important, when the family is dealing with the fluctuating emotions and issues that come with this terrible disease. "

"Everyone at the Middletown office is great to deal with. They are helping my dad out. They take him shopping once a week and to Dr. appointments. They’ve been on time every time. My dad hasn’t complained yet, so they must be doing a good job."

"I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs care for their loved ones. I called them one day, and in 24 hours they had a care team in place to assist my mother. When my mom was released from the hospital we had very little hope of her being able to resume any day to day activities. With the professional and caring staff, my mothers quality of life has greatly improved. They take of every detail, and are responsive to all questions and concerns. I highly recommend this team, and when I see their interactions with my mother, I know they are concerned and capable care givers. My family and I can say without a doubt, that our mother is in good hands. "

"Home Instead in West Hartford is responsive and has been a miracle for me. I will use them whenever possible."

"We have been using Home Helpers for about a month now. The caregivers are very good, and I have no complaints. We have caregivers every evening for my husband, and he is very much compatible with the caregivers that he has. They caregivers take their time. They are patient. They know what they are doing. Their communication is very good. They are very much worth recommending to others. "

"It’s been almost a month since my husband of 57 years died and the memory of his passing will always stay with me. The experience of helping a loved one pass on should always be what I experienced. Peaceful, painless, loving and surrounded by those he loved and who loved him. This would not have been possible without the staff from BrightStar. Starting with Heidi - as a most trusted advisor – experienced in coordinating with Hospice providers. The nurses who worked through a ‘plan of care’. Plan of care reads like it’s a routine, but with those who came it felt far from routine. It was a plan for my husband’s dying moments and was so smooth and caring that it was as if I and my family were ‘alone’ with Ron. When he was lucid, he whispered that he ‘liked Latoya and Mio’. From a man who hated company, this was so welcomed. They treated him with respect and dignity, and they supported us as if they were angles on our shoulders. Because of them he was able to die where he lived... and loved and was loved. Thank you all..... "

"I'm using Homewatch Caregivers of Bristol-Farmington. It's 16 hours a day, five days a week. There are two different people. The service has been supportive and helpful in navigating and managing the time shifts and having consistency with the homecare for my mother at home. They offer homecare services. The homecare provider that's in the home also helps to run errands, does light housekeeping, also takes my mom to appointments and run groceries or errands. It's helpful to have someone who cannot only care for her in helping to make meals and helping to manage her mobility in the home, but also able to assist with errands outside of the house. The aides have been helpful, friendly, and also have been consistent in caregiving and support. They've been pretty flexible and very respectful in how they're handling the care for my mom."

"We hired Right at Home for my dad. My dad’s situation changed suddenly and we needed instant care. We were impressed with the people we interviewed. They were able to step up within 24 hours and provide somebody to help us. They’re doing 24-hour care seven days a week. We have one live-in caregiver. She is working very well. She does basic ADL, light housekeeping and most importantly keeping my dad on tasks because of his dementia. She basically keeps him safe. His health has gotten better, so he is able to do more and more, and so what she has to do is basically just monitor him. We’re very satisfied. "

"Christina was the best ever Aide - most substitutes didn't do half of what she did for us. I could not have kept my husband at home, had it not been for her personal care as well as all household chores. Best of all, we thought so much of her! I will miss her sorely now that he has passed. She had become part of the family. The staff was always pleasant and responded promptly to any questions I had."

"Outstanding private duty aides for my Mom in her assisted living apartment. My Mom is very particular and Rosita gained acceptance by great caring and patience. Communication with family and facility staff is excellent. Priority Care is dependable, professional, and trustworthy. Highly recommend their services."

"We have been VERY pleased with the home care aids that have been assigned to my mother's care. Jonita was very responsive to our request for home care aids. My mom receives care for 8 hours daily. I love the consistency in the assignment of aids. Jackie and Sonia have always been on time. They are friendly and ready/willing/able to help as requested. Thank you so much for the care that you provide to the elderly."
