The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Frederick County, MD for 2025

"They take my hubby to the grocery store , the bank, and medical appointments. Staff is courteous and arrives on time. The agency is on call 24/7 and always takes care of our needs."

"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."

"I hired Nurses For Care for my aunt in Maryland. I live in New York. That was the best decision I could have made. They were very professional, reliable and caring. Definitely the best"

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.

"The caregivers are very dedicated to their clients.They arrive on time, and stay their full alloted time. If there is something that needs done, just ask them to do it for you. I have not met a worker yet that has refused to help."

"My family has used home health aides from Home Instead over a period of 12 years for both companion and personal care and we are a third time repeat and very happy customer. A number of the same caring, competent, reliable and efficient caregivers who cared for my mother with compassion and respect as she coped with a serious illness from 2009 through 2014, and my father also during 2009 recovering from open heart surgery, were again available both in 2017 and now - 2021, to provide care for my father during his recovery from two additional surgeries. We have been very pleased with the stability, reliability and professional services provided by Home Instead on both a full time and part time basis. Home Instead has a stable cadre of professionals with consistent back-up capability. We have never been left without a caregiver, even on short notice. The ability to have some of the same caregivers over a period of many years has been reassuring and very comforting. Ella and Jenny have been wonderful with both my parents. And thanking Patty, Laura, Diana and their entire staff for their responsive and attentive customer service !"

"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. "

"Shepard’s Staff provided quality care to my mom for several years as she went from relatively independent, to bedridden and dependent on others. Angela, the office staff, and all of the caregivers were professional, friendly, competent, and truly cared for my mom’s well-being. For my mom, cats are part of the family. My husband and I, the sole caregivers for my mom in our home, could not leave for the weekend if my mom wasn't cared for and if the cats weren't fed. Shephard’s Staff caregivers were willing to provide that extra assistance. With the support provided by Shephard’s Staff, my mom was able to stay at home until her passing. Without hesitation, I would recommend them. "

"We've used Visiting Angels before and we've had no problems with them. We've hired them a couple of times, just for a couple of days. We just got them to come in for companionship and medicine and they were absolutely wonderful. They would come in four hours at a time until my husband got home and my father-in-law would go to bed, that type of thing. They were wonderful and it was a big help to us. We've had two different ladies come in. The one my father-in-law just really seemed to adore was very talkative, very friendly, and that was just great for him."
