"We worked with Always Best Care Loudoun for more than a year to take care of my 90-year-old mother with advancing dementia. I highly recommend their services for how flexible, kind, proactive and supportive they were. At first, we had someone come about 3 - 4 days a week for 5 hours/day. As my mom had more physical issues and falls, Always Best Care was very easy to work with in getting additional support, which ultimately ended up being 24/7 for several months. They provided companionship, advocacy, support and care at every step of the way. I'm a single parent so having someone who could be there when I couldn't toward the end of my mom's life was invaluable. My mom loved all of her caregivers and told them so daily. They laughed with her and shared life stories, took her to events, drove her to doctor's appointments, did laundry, prepared meals, and so much more. On more than one occasion, they would call me to let me know something had changed or that my mom needed a doctor or something else urgent, that I would not have known otherwise. They were truly a godsend when I needed it most. I really can't say enough good things about Always Best Care Loudoun."

"We have been using your service for 4 years now and it has been a blessing. Shannon does a wonderful job with Mom and even gets her to do her exercises!!! Thank you"

"We have been extremely pleased with 2nd Family for the care of our mother. We began using them after leaving another agency with poor service. 2nd Family is very efficient and always responsive. Their administrative systems are excellent. Their caregivers are all well trained, compassionate and responsive to the needs of our mother. During a recent snowstorm, 2nd Family worked diligently to insure that we were fully staffed and kept us apprised on everything that was happening. I would highly recommend 2nd Family!"

I am Rebecca Bodor, proud owner of Homewatch CareGivers of Loudoun. My husband Tim and I are natives of Northern Virginia and its surrounding communities. We have enjoyed raising our family here and taking advantage of all that this area has to offer. I made the decision to be involved in work that provided a meaningful service and a way to give back to our community. Both Tim and I have experienced the struggles of finding the right home care for our families. In the 1990’s, Tim’s mother had the challenge of a husband with dementia. At that time, she felt there were no other options other than to put him in an institution. Ten years later while we were living abroad, Tim’s mother faced another challenge of having to struggle with cancer on her own, unable to find adequate in-home care before she passed away. I came into this business not only as an owner, but as a client. After my father had a stroke in 2015, my parents had to face the very difficult decisions that need to be made regarding aging and their care. The vast amount of information and resources out there can be overwhelming! We continue to experience the emotional toll this takes on a family and I understand the difficult task of choosing care for the people you love. I believe my personal experiences give me a unique understanding in how to provide a better service to our clients. Our guiding principle is to provide our clients with the kind of service that we would want for our own families. I understand how it feels to bring someone into your home when there is a need for professional care, and we make every effort to match our clients with the right caregiver. We strive to give our caregivers a great place to work, where they feel valued and part of our extended family. By doing so, we know our caregivers will extend those feelings to our clients. In 2019 we were proud to receive the distinguished Best of Home Care –Leader in Excellence Award from Home Care Pulse, the leading firm in quality assurance for home care. The Leader in Excellence Award is the highest recognition awarded by Home Care Pulse and is given to select home care businesses that consistently rank among the very highest in 10 or more quality metrics. Nationally recognized as a Leader in Excellence, Homewatch CareGivers of Loudoun is now ranked among the top echelon of home care providers participating in the nationwide Home Care Pulse Satisfaction Management Program.

"I recommend Home Instead to everyone who asks about home care. I am retired RN and I was grateful to find and agency who actually cared the their clients and families. There was never a time when I felt like we weren't important to everyone involved with Moms care. I know that Bella and Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure my Mom was well cared for even when I made last minute requests Bella always assured me that it was "no problem and we will take care of it and make it work". I will miss them-Mom always referred to Rebecca as her daughter. "

"Excellent service, professionalism, well prepared for visits, exudes feeling of "I'm in good hands" with choice of health care helpers. Appreciate oversight of activity of helpers and check-up on my condition."

"Very helpful. They do not have a long list of employees to help if you need a back up but the ones that they provide are very helpful. "

"Overall, we have received excellent in-home care from Shepherd's Staff for several years now. "

"Basically, Visiting Angels are feeding my stepmom to bathing her and everything else. It’s a lot cheaper than her being in a home. They came highly recommended, seemed to know what they were doing when I interviewed them, and had been in a situation before taking care of somebody with Alzheimer’s. The caregivers are great and really good with her. I’d recommend them to anybody. They really do a great job. "

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.
