The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Citrus County, FL for 2025

"I got indirectly involved in a placement from your agency. The primary parties interviewed three agencies and selected Home Instead. Mary went to the house and interviewed the client. The primary parties were very impressed with her and the information she provided. Once Home Instead was selected the next step was placement of a companion. Obvious care went into this process with excellent results. The family is very pleased and hs extended the service from two days to three. Thanks for you caring attitude. Dave "

"my husband and I have Shaws for our home care needs. They are wonderful and provide excellent service. We highly recommend them."

"We had two different caregivers from Loving Care in Home Services because we had them seven days a week. I wrote a letter of commendation to the agency because I was so proud of the care they gave to my sister. They were always here early and stayed their usual time and did excellent work. The representative from their agency told us upfront that they're here for my sister and not as a maid service, which I really appreciate, because other people think differently."

"The people from Seniors Choice are good people. They are here because I have certain things that are wrong with me, and they just come to make sure that I'm OK and have them take my blood pressure and that kind of thing. I have gone to the hospital twice, and I've had something wrong, so they come in after I come back from the hospital. It is always the same people and, usually it's maybe about a week or two that they don't come, but then they come back again. "

"Families Come First has incredible caring individuals who have cared for my father for over 2 years. They become like an extended part of our family. My father suffers from stage 3 Alzheimer's disease and is totally bedridden. There are no skin issues at all thanks to the wonderful care he receives. They help with household chores when he is sleeping. They truly do put families first and I recommend them to anyone who wishes to remain independent at home but needs that extra help. I find their rates to be very affordable as well. "

"We're currently using AMLOVE SENIOR CARE for my mother. We have somebody come in six hours a day. They cook, they clean, they administer her medicine, and they run errands for her. For the most part the caregivers are pretty good, but sometimes they have some problems with schedule."

Exceptional in-home care doesn’t just happen – that’s why Home Helpers invests in providing dependable, compassionate care by using the most qualified and compatible caregivers. Most people want to be where they are comfortable, whether that means seniors, or those recovering from illness who want to be back in their own home. Our caregivers make sure they can do that, being there to provide the extra care that's needed. All our caregivers are level 2 background screened, bonded and insured. Each has ongoing supervision and training to make sure they give the very best service to our clients. They are fully employed – their taxes are paid by the company, there are no contractors and we are NOT a registry. With each new client, we sit down with them to find out as much as we can about them – their likes and dislikes, their requirements and their personality – then we try to match them with the most suitable caregiver so that family members can be reassured that their loved one is happy. We can meet with them at their home (even if they are in assisted living and just want some additional help there), or in hospital or rehab facilities if families want to plan a loved one’s return home in advance of them being discharged. Our caregivers are trained in, and are experienced in the care of clients with a variety of conditions including Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, stroke, etc. We can be there from just an hour or two per week, right up to 24/7 care – there are no minimum hours. You only pay us for the hours we are there. If the client is a veteran, or the surviving spouse of a veteran we may also be able to assist them in obtaining a benefit that could cover their care costs. We also combine our care with technology – for our caregivers, there is an automated telephony service to ensure they check in and out on time. This means we know very quickly if there is a problem or delay and can make arrangements to send a back-up caregiver if necessary. We offer 24/7 monitoring pendants so that in the event that your loved one needs help when no-one else is with them, they can push a button and help will be on the way. We also offer automated medication management systems which will remind the client when to take medication and will send an alert to the central care center if the medication is not taken – the care center will do a welfare check to make sure the client is ok and remind them again to take their meds. Our services include: Light housekeeping Laundry Personal care (bathing/dressing/feeding, transferring, etc) Transportation to events or appointments Hospital/hospice sitter Meal preparation – including special diets Shopping Companionship (help with crafts or hobbies, games, conversation, etc) Medication reminders 24/7 monitoring service Partnership with Veterans Care Coordinationv Much more! We believe that people should be able to keep their independence for as long as possible, allowing them to spend their time doing what they enjoy – let us take care of the rest.

"We hired Preferred Care at Home of The Villages. Mostly they take care of my mother and they also do everything you ask. They started with the four hour morning work routine, and now they do the evenings too. They do a good job as far as keeping my mother clean and happy. They also work well with hospice. They have one or two people that come in the morning, and one or two in the evening, and it's usually the same person. The pricing is comparable with everybody else, they're always very professional, courteous, they're prompt with changes in their schedule, and they make sure somebody is always there."

"My father lives in my rental house, and I have a nurse from Comfort Keepers coming in to care for him in the home. The caregivers are outstanding. They are very caring young ladies that come in, and my father has been in a very good mood since they started taking care of him. They are a good companion for him throughout the day. I just can't say enough good things about them. And the other thing I have to add is they are very affordable for the services they offer. I would say that the best part about their services is they work completely with what you need. In other words, the days I needed them and the exact hours I needed them, they were more than happy to facilitate anything I needed. "

"My caregivers at Caretime of Florida help me with food, bathing, and grocery shopping. The work attitude is sometimes good and sometimes bad. They have worked with me for three years, and I have one caregiver every day. They also take me to get my hair done and help me with laundry."

"This note is to express my sincere appreciation to Family Friends, the owners, their staff, and their caretakers. In my opinion there is no better agency in Hernando County. I am legally responsible for the health and welfare of my friend, who currently turned ninety-eight years old. She and I have been friends since 1990. I have seen her go from living on her own, to living in an assisted living facility, and to becoming unable to take care of her financial matters. It has been my privilege to know this very private person for so many years. She never wants to be a burden on anyone and she is always grateful for whatever help she receives. Through the years I have been with her through many medical emergencies. She loves where she lives and she does not want to be in a nursing home. Eventually she became unable to take care of herself and her residence. In fact, her doctor had turned her over to hospice care. Fortunately for my friend, I was able to find caretakers who could provide her with the services she needed in order to remain in her current living environment. I found Family Friends Home Care! Rhoda and Kimberly, owners of Family Friends, were very compassionate and understanding. They met with me and my friend. Together we reviewed my friend’s needs and wishes. They found caretakers suited to my friend’s needs that would assist her with taking care of herself and her home. The caretakers also provided companionship. She had lived on her own for many, many years. Getting used to having people with her around the clock was not easy for her. The caretakers accompanied her to the hospital in an emergency situation so she would not be by herself until I was able to get there. In several incidences, Kimberly herself or other staff members have gone to my friend’s residence to be with her when another caretaker called out sick or was unable to be with my friend. The caretakers even gave up their personal time to attend birthday celebrations for my friend. At her age, we celebrate every birthday! My friend has gone on and off hospice care several times since I found Family Friends over two years ago. It is my firm belief that my friend’s life has been extended and she has had a much better quality of life through the efforts of Family Friends and their caretakers. Having Family Friends in her life also gives me peace of mind. I am confident that she is receiving the kind of care that she deserves. I recommend their agency to all of my friends who are looking for assistance for their elder or sickly parents. Thank you, Family Friends, Kathleen Dornfeld "
