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

"We have been with Right at Home for several years. The office staff is kind and professional. They respond and communicate regularly. Shana has been our regular caregiver. She os great! She was instructive, professional and to the point. Not only does she provide wonderful care to Mom, but to me, her daughter. Especially when she started. I was a helicopter caregiving daughter. Her direction and encouragement helped me be a healthier towards her, too. I still learn from her. She showers her, feeds and does light housework. BTW, she also prepares food to look good and tastes delicious, is quick with domestic work, and is a pleasant member of this household. Mom's dementia is advancing, but she remembers Shana every time Shana enters the house. It is reassuring to have such goodness in our family. Mom is now 94 and that happens with an atmosphere of peace and joy. Thanks RAH!"

"My wife died peacefully after a long battle with a terrible disease. She fought longer than any of us expected and is now at peace. I could not have kept her at home without the caring and skilled people that Home Instead sent to our home. I can’t thank them enough for their care and support that they showed. I’m sure it made her more comfortable and extended her life."

"I have been with many agencies and so far Family Element Home Care LLC has been the best to work with. I have been very pleased with my Caretaker and things have been made so much easier for me than the last agency I was with. I would highly reccomend Family Element Home Care."

"Home Helpers were local and they went through our local chamber of commerce so I felt comfortable with them. A head person came and met with me and my mom first. They talked over everything, and then the second time when she came, she brought a caregiver with her and spent about an hour with my mom and they started from there. The caregivers are fine. They drive her to and from the local stores or pharmacy. They help her do laundry, housework, make her bed, and take her to doctor’s appointments. The only problem I have is that they called us a few times where they didn’t have anybody to come out because somebody was sick and since she started, they’ve had 3 different people come which I’m not too crazy about. "
