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

"My wife, Susan, had a stroke 20 years ago that left her totally paralyzed on her left side. I began with Sr1Care about 10 years ago when we moved into their service area. Sr 1Care put together a team of caregivers that were trained in the specifics of caring for Susan. Whenever a caregiver had a family emergency and couldn't come to work, another fully trained caregiver would take over. Unlike previous caregivers we had used, Sr1Caregivers never say "That's not in my job description". Sr1 caregivers help Susan get showered and dressed and they help her with her toileting, as you would expect. They also help Susan with her Kindle reader and her laptop computer. They pick up our little dog and put her in Susan's lap when Susan want's to pet her furry friend. They laugh at her jokes and her stories, even though she has told the same ones over and over and over again. As my health and Susan's health have both declined, we have needed almost 24/7 coverage. Sr1caregivers are well trained to do whatever task is requested, and when no task is needed, they fade into the background so we don't feel like they are intruding on our lives. I can't give enough thanks to Sr1 and all of their staff who have helped Susan, and in the process, helped me."

"Very pleased with my service. Kathleen goes out of her way to see that I get what I need. I'm very, very blessed to have an understanding person that I can count on. Thank you for your good service."

"Comfort Keepers is a local in-home care agency. They have provided me with a fantastic caregiver, Sherri W. She has been a TREMENDOUS helper/lifesaver/friend for me and my mom, Evelyn N., was has Alzheimer's. I had to move from my life (full-time job) in Dallas, Texas to bring my mom home to South Bend, Indiana in order for her to be in a more familiar place. When I moved back here last June I was under a tremendous amount of stress from the move, change in my lifestyle AND dealing with my mother's worsening condition. I take care of my in my home 24/7. If it wasn't for Comfort Keepers connecting us with Sherri I don't think I would have made it this far in this journey. She is a wonderful, good-spirited individual who gives mom undivided attention while here and treats her as if she's her own family member. They had sent us several other caregivers who were very kind in their own way BUT mom did not connect with them like she has Sherri. Mom will let her paint her nails, re-pot plants with her, exercise, decorate cakes, etc. - ALL these activities she will NOT engage with me in. She lifts mom's spirits and enjoys her visit. Thank you Comfort Keepers for giving us Sherri W. "

"The best home care in town hands down. I've tried several home care agencies but this one has made life so easy. Their love and compassion is very genuine. The owner is very hands on and the people in the office are consistent and happy to get things done. I'm glad I found them."

"Very helpful company. the were able to help me take care of my mother especially when I had to work or was out of town "

"We have just started using BrightStar Care Valparaiso about two to three weeks ago. They offer a wide range of services, like a skilled, companion, and just well-being checks. They are easy to get a hold of. It's easy to schedule. That was the only place that I could find that would be able to help us. I didn't realize that I was asking on such short notice, but apparently, I was, so they were able to assist. They are good communicators. My father said every one of the people that came was very nice, and he enjoyed their company. They came in for six days, twice a day for two hours every time. It was short enough notice that they did the very best that they could to accommodate and cover every shift and they were able to do that. Three different people came that I am aware of. It was pretty short notice, but they were very accommodating. They did a really good job at getting things covered. For the peace of mind that it brings and for the pleasure that it brought to my dad and the ability for him to have some independence and someone to spend some time with, it's a good value. It's hard to put a price on that. My dad's kind of a grumpy old man, and the comment that he made to tell me that every one that came, they were all very nice and he enjoyed their company, so to me, that's invaluable."
