45 Home Care Services for Seniors Serving Malden, MA
Located just north of Boston and considered part of the metro area, Malden, Massachusetts, is a popular place for retirees, as 12.2% of the population is aged 65 and older. Malden is close enough to Boston proper to allow easy access to the city’s transportation, medical care and other services, something that may appeal to many seniors. The coast of Massachusetts is a beautiful place to explore, and places like the Boston Harbor Islands National Park have plenty of accessible sightseeing points where seniors can take visiting family and friends.
Many Malden seniors prefer to stay in their own homes as they age, and with a little extra help from a home health care aide or assistance with chores and shopping, they may be able to. According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2019, seniors in Malden can expect to pay around $5,500 per month for care. Homemaker services in Malden average about a dollar per hour higher than the rest of the state, at $28.50 compared to $27.20. In-home medical care runs about the same, $28.75 in Malden and $27.50 in the rest of the state.
Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Malden, so data for the closest city, Boston, was used.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Malden area – complete with types of care provided, services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help seniors and their families access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

The help from Senior Helpers Boston North is fine. They send me some young people who needed some training, but evidently they trained them to listen carefully and follow instructions. They’re doing the heavy things that are hard for me because of my spinal stenosis. They do the laundry, load and unload the washer, they get small meals for me, and water the plants — which means carrying heavy water. The girl that I have now comes in two hours, three days a week. She also cleaned the bookcases inside and out. She goes around and cleans whatever needs cleaning, like the mirrors and countertops and so on. It’s really helpful to have them come in and do those things. I find that they are very good people. They are always here on the day they’re supposed to be.

MeetCaregivers is a fabulous agency. They are responsive and sensitive to the needs of the client and family, and work hard to find the right match(es).
For example, my mother was extremely hard of hearing and needed caregivers who could speak slowly and repeat if needed, requiring a lot of patience. She also did not want to be "bossed around," which was difficult when she insisting on doing things that were unsafe for her. Her caregivers were very respectful and handled these situations with professionalism and grace.
When my mother declined quickly and was bedridden for over a week before her death, her devoted caregivers transitioned seamlessly to changing her diapers and giving her bed baths. I was impressed by their wide range of skill sets and their compassion and support as our family went through a difficult time. They became like family to us, staying later and doing extra when needed.
I would recommend MeetCaregivers without reservation for anyone seeking care.

I hired Simply Elder Care one time. It worked out well. The agency put me in touch with an experienced woman who came to the house once a day for six days for two hours. She mostly provided monitoring and companionship for my father while we were away on vacation. I met with her prior to the engagement and was impressed with her. I wasn’t around much while she was providing the care because I was away on vacation but my father was very happy with the services that she provided, and it worked out well. The billing was fine. In fact, because it was a short engagement, I paid them in full beforehand. It was a snowstorm on one of the days when the woman was supposed to come, and because of the weather she was unable to come. Shortly after we returned, Simply Elder Care gave me a refund for that day when the woman didn’t come; I didn’t have to request it, so I was very happy about that.

I had heard about Independence Home Care from MIT University, they told me IHC had excellent services and I found out that they were very much right. I would go back to Independence Home Care if I ever need services again. I can not say enough wonderful things about IHC. They are very professional, caring about the client and the family’s needs. When I needed to leave my mother I was very happy to do so with Independence Home Care. Myself and my family will always be grateful to Joan and Ann for all the kindness and great assistance they have shown my mother.

I had been searching for a Home Care agency that I could feel comfortable with. After calling a few places I decided to contact Beyond Love N’ Care; when I got to talk to the owner he understood immediately what my family needs were and was able to advice us over the phone how to care for my dad before he could come in to my house for an assessment. I cannot tell you how much it meant to my family when he arrived and was able to talk to us like if he was part of our family. He showed so much care for my dad as soon as he came in; he included the family in planning my dad’s care. We are so appreciative of the great care and the respect and service we get from this Home Care staff is like no other.

Malden Home Care 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 Malden:
Mystic Valley Elder Services
Address: 300 Commercial Street, #19, Malden, MA 02148
Phone: (781) 324-7705
This is a nonprofit agency that works with senior citizens to help them apply for support and health care services in the community they may be eligible for. In addition to physical care for seniors, Mystic Valley also helps reduce the isolation that many elderly people experience by connecting them to volunteer opportunities and social programs. For those who need it, there is also housing placement assistance available.
Meals on Wheels & Senior Dining
Address: 300 Commercial Street, #19, Malden, MA 02148
Phone: (781) 324-7705
Mystic Valley Elder Services runs 14 different food pantries in the Malden area for seniors in need, as well as programs to educate the elderly on proper nutrition. Meals on Wheels programs include home delivery of Ensure and other nutritional supplements. There are senior dining opportunities at local community centers free for the elderly, although a small donation is suggested. Eligibility for each program is determined by an MVES case manager.
Boston ABCD
Address: 18 Dartmouth Street, Malden, MA 02148
Phone: (781) 322-6284
Seniors who qualify for the Boston ABCD Fuel Assistance Program may also qualify for free weatherization of their homes, including replacing or adding insulation and installing draft protection seals along with windows and doors. Each project is overseen by a professional contractor and is based on income guidelines. To qualify, families must have an income at or below 60% of the Massachusetts median income.
Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Address: One South Station, Boston, MA 02110
Phone: (617) 737-2836
LIHEAP helps low-income seniors in the Malden area cover the cost of heating and utility bills during the winter season. This is a program based on income, and first-time applicants must apply in person. Seniors receiving Social Security Income may automatically be eligible.
Massachusetts Good Neighbor Energy Fund
Address: 107 Ridge Avenue, Athol, MA 01331
Phone: 339-502-5900
Sponsored by the Salvation Army, the GNEF offers seniors in the Boston area with help paying for energy bills (gas, oil, heating, and electric). If an individual doesn’t qualify for the LIHEAP, this community outreach program may be able to help. This program has an income-based eligibility guideline; applicants must have a gross income between 60% and 80% of the state’s median income level.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
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.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
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.
