"Synergy has provided excellent homecare. They are completely reliable – never a no-show. Every Synergy homecare giver over time has been kind, respectful, and helpful. Our longtime Synergy homecare giver is a blessing. We do not need to tell her what things need to be done. She notices on her own and does more to help than we would ever have thought of. We look forward to her visits. She is like family for us."

"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 is using HomeWell Care Services of Montgomery County. We started several weeks ago, and the services have been great so far. They are there five days a week for a few hours. There's been very good communication. They will remind her and ask her if has she taken her medication, but they can't do anything with the medication. They can take her to the grocery store. They can help her with tasks around the house and meal prep. The owner has been incredible."

"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."

"Our experience with HomeCare.com was great. When I called, Lisa who answered the phone was able to send someone right away. We were able to sit and interview the person, her name was Nina, and she was well-qualified. She was with us for a month and helped a great deal. My mother-in-law didn't have complaints about her at all. She came in Monday through Friday to provide companionship. The price was within our price-range and the value of management is good because they were able to accommodate whatever we needed. We didn't have any problems with them."

"I spoke with a total of 4 home care providers when looking for assistance with a loved one suffering from dementia/Alzheimer's and am so thankful for guidance provided by Home Instead. Within a couple mins of speaking to their VP of Marketing (Pam) I learned of her unique insight and passion for helping families deal with the scary inconsistencies of memory loss. To say she went above and beyond during what was essentially an emergency situation for my family is to sell her short - she personally filled gaps in the schedule to provide the respite I needed and was extremely conscientious about our loved one's experience with the caregivers. She also strongly advocated for a full time memory care facility (even though this meant we would only use her services for a short period of time), made recommendations for local ones she thought would be a good fit, and followed up with me personally after the transition to see how I was doing and how the transition went. If you are looking for in-home care in the Northern Virginia area, I strongly recommend starting with Home Instead Falls Church and using them as your comparison for any other organizations you might consider."

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 Montgomery County:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Respite Care | (301) 816-9647 | Not Listed | The Montgomery County Government offers a program that provides short-term relief to live-in primary caregivers who provide full-time care to frail seniors and those with disabilities. The program enables seniors to age in place for as long as possible by giving caregivers a break from their duties. In-home and out-of-home care options are available. |
| Weatherization Assistance Program | Not Listed (Online Contact Form) | 1301 Piccard Drive, 4th Floor, Rockville, 20850 | The Maryland Energy Assistance Program runs a weatherization assistance program funded by the federal government and the state. The program helps low-income households reduce their fuel bills by lowering energy consumption. This is a one-time service, and contractors do not return to carry out any repairs. Priority is given to seniors and households with young children. Services carried out include replacing cracked windows, weather stripping, testing furnace efficiency, and installing hot water heater jackets and attic insulation. There is no charge for any of the services. |
| Senior Connection | (301) 962-0820 | 3950 Ferrara Drive, Silver Spring, MD 20906 | Senior Connection is a nonprofit organization that provides a range of services for seniors over the age of 60. In its Pantry Fillers program, volunteers take seniors to a nearby grocery store on a weekly or monthly basis. The senior is responsible for paying for the groceries, but volunteers help carry the groceries and put them away. Seniors who are unable to leave their homes can give volunteers a shopping list and money to go shopping. Additionally, Senior Connection provides door-to-door transportation to seniors. Rides must be booked in advance, and only four trips can be booked per month. There is no charge for this service. |
| Senior Nutrition Program | (240) 777-3000 | 401 Hungerford Drive, Rockville, MD 20850 | The Senior Nutrition Program provides a hot lunch meal each day from Monday to Friday at congregate meal sites located throughout the county. Seniors over the age of 60 receive a nutritious meal that meets the dietary requirements of seniors. The style of meal differs depending on the location,, as some centers cater to the dominant ethnic group in the area. There is no charge for the meal but a voluntary donation is appreciated. Guests under 60 who want to dine with a senior are charged the full meal price. |
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.
