"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 !"

"We have used Right at Home for my mother and stepfather for years. We started with a visiting helper and then moved up to inhome care almost 6 years ago, when my mother's dementia and lack of mobility became more problematic. I cannot say enough good things about their livein caregiver, Natoya, or the subs they provide when she is off. They are kind, attentive, and patient, and the office contacts us if they have concerns about our parents. My stepfather is extremely opinionated, stubborn, and picky, but he loves Natoya and so appreciates the care that she gives them."

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 cannot thank Jamie and Paragon Home Care enough for the help they provided my parents during their time of need. Both parents suddenly needed in home assistance and Jamie came for an initial visit less than 24 hours after my initial call. Within 48 hours of the call a kind, professional, competent caregiver was there to help my mom. 24 hours later, my father came home from the hospital and needed assistance and we increased, the number of hours immediately. As my parents slowly improved they worked with us to reduce the caregiver hours safely. Working with the Paragon group has been straight forward and incredibly easy. The caregivers were kind, arrived on time for every single visit, jumped in to help with sensitive bathing and cleaning needs, and adjusted their tasks as the needs changed. I cannot praise them enough for giving a concerned daughter peace of mind."

"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."

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Gaithersburg:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|
Montgomery County Adult Evaluation and Review Services | (240) 777-3000 | 401 Hungerford Drive, Rockville, MD 20850 | The AERS program of the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services offers evaluation and assistance services for elderly residents of Gaithersburg and surrounding cities.

State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) | (240) 773-6471 | 101 Monroe Street, 7th Floor, Rockville, MD 20850 | Maryland’s State Health Insurance Plan assists elderly individuals with understanding their Medicare plans. Local SHIP counselors offer advice on accessing benefits, legal rights and coverage details, and they may assist seniors with managing health care bills.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes 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.
