"I was so impressed with Right at Home’s care and professionalism. It’s a tough to ask for help when a when a family member’s needs exceed your own abilities but, Right at Home was kind and respectful during this difficult time. When our schedule kept changing, they remained flexible and accommodating. My mother-in-law’s caregiver was compassionate and empathetic to our family’s needs (right down to our family pet!) Thanks for all of your help. I’d recommend them to anyone!"

"My mother passed away two months ago after nearly four years of coverage from the team members of ABC Upper Chesapeake. Mom and I were both very pleased with the coverage. ABC was most congenial to do their best to provide Mom with caretakers whom we found suited to Mom's personality and temperament. In the very few cases this was not so, we asked for someone else to care for Mom and this was promptly provided. All in all the caretakers were kind, friendly, competent and helpful, providing Mom with good care and company. Elaine G was very helpful in getting us in contact with the VA so that Mom was able to obtain a monthly benefit entitled to her because of Dad's service in the military. That was a great financial help to us in our particular situation. I strongly recommend this agency for the homebound and ill. They will work with you to do all they can to grant your reasonable requests. Thank you, Elaine and caretakers! "

Since 1991, Housen Homecare has provided professional and compassionate care for families seeking quality homecare for their loved ones. Our nearly 24 years of service has surpassed the longevity of many of our regional competitors. As a result, Housen Homecare has built a solid track record for being one of the best homecare service providers in the Washington, DC area. Elderly Care Having longevity in life is wonderful for both the elderly and the people who love them. Being able to share the latter years of ones life surrounded by family and friends enhances the quality of life for aging individuals, and has been proven to help them maintain a healthier and positive outlook on life. Veteran Care Returning from active duty can be an incredibly difficult transition, and it’s even more difficult for those who have suffered a serious or life changing injury. Moreover, navigating the bureaucracy of government waiver programs can be overwhelming for veterans. Housen Homecare is familiar with these challenges, and we can assist veterans in applying for the government that they have earned. Adults with Disabilities Research shows that disabled adults maintain a better quality of life when they’re allowed to receive care at home, regardless of their condition. Although caring for a disabled family member can be overwhelming, Housen Homecare can take away some of the burden that family caregivers experience.

"Our experience with Griswold Home Care of Harford and Cecil Counties has been satisfactory. They've been providing us with an in-home caregiver. It's the best fit for my parents. The caregiver is very attentive and can cook. They clock in once they get into the home so they can monitor the aides coming and going. The agency provided an initial in-home visit and that's a good step in making sure that the person they put in the home is a good fit. They've been very professional."

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.
