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

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.

"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 received caregiving services from Griswold for several months during stressful and difficult transitions for my dad, not the easiest of patients. The Griswold caregivers were beyond kind, patient and professional and we are forever grateful for each and every one of them. The administrative team was consistently available, helpful and so supportive. I highly recommend Griswold Home Health Care (Kensington/Chevy Chase)!"

"My mother was in hospice care and needed help and companionship and I couldn’t be there 24/7. Always Best Care sent providers to be with her and I can’t say enough good things about them. They were compassionate and skilled, and always there when I needed them. I could relax knowing that my mom was in good hands. "

"Our aunt died last week, and my sister and I had to travel out of state. Mom is unable to travel due to her medical conditions. We require 24/7 caregivers, we were a little nervous, but each caregiver was just as caring and committed as Stephanie."

"Attenda cared for my father as though he were a member of their family. He had three wonderful care givers, all professional, and ever so kind and attentive, who would spend several hours with him during the day. The management team, Irina and Mila, made it ever so easy to arrange matters right from the start. Thank-you all so much for making this transition for my father so much more bearable!"

"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."

"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."

"Gauri and her team are absolutely delightful . . . professional, kind end great listeners. They found me the perfect Home Health Aide. I recommend them to everyone."

"I've been quite satisfied with HomeCare.com. From the sales to the contract to the technical team and the home aide that we ended up with, we've been very satisfied. The customer care is incredibly responsive, day or night, or on weekends. They are very professional and friendly. Our home caregiver is incredibly kind. All of their home care aides have, on average, eight years of experience. I've been able to switch schedules and extend hours. She's actually going to go to the rehab this week to be with mom. Not that she will probably do anything, but she's there to make sure that the rehab is taking care of mom, just kind of as another set of eyes for me. It's been a good experience for me for the most part."

"Using for home health aides. Incredibly responsive. Warm, caring aides. Very, very happy w agency"
