For seniors looking for a good place to live, Quincy, MA, offers charm and a great deal of support for seniors, who make up 15.8% of the population. It has a suburban feel but is close enough to Boston and New York that residents can easily take in the culture of these world-famous cities. It’s rich in the natural beauty of the Massachusetts coastline, and popular locations include the Thomas Crane Public Library, the Adams National Historical Park and the Quincy Historical Society.
According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020, the cost of in-home care and home health care in Quincy both average $5,700. The national average for in-home care and home health care are $4,481 and $4,576 respectively.
Note: Home care cost data was not available for Quincy, 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 Quincy 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.

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.

Following a hospitalization, my 94-yr-old mother needed round-the-clock care at home. For more than 5 weeks, friendly, caring, knowledgeable, dedicated and dependable professionals came to our home. Each of them took excellent care of her, encouraging her as she regained her health and mobility, and allowing me to get the rest I so desperately needed. I learned from them the best ways to continue her care on my own, and I enjoyed their company immensely.They treated both of us with courtesy, respect, dignity and compassion.I can’t thank this company, its staff and management enough for taking such good care of us.

At Senior Helpers Boston and South Shore we advocate for aging in place, wherever that “place” happens to be. The evolving breadth of our services reflect the increasingly complex needs of our elders. Yet our mission is extraordinarily simple: deliver personalized services through exceptionally trained case managers and caregivers. We appreciate your consideration for your needs and the care of loved ones. My agency has grown because we have a simple rule. If it is not the right answer for my parents, it is not the right answer for anyone else’s parents either. In the Fall of 2019 we signed a veterans care agreement with the Veterans Administration so we could provide personal care and helping hand support are available to eligible veterans in all the towns and communities we serve — enabling all enrolled Veterans who meet the clinical need for service, to receive "care and comfort" when they need it most.
<p></p>
This has shaped the way we approach everything we do: from a decision to have nurse case managers, to staffing only Certified Nursing Assistants and Home Health Aides as caregivers. It has driven the introduction of our proprietary LiFE Profile, (Li=Lifestyle, F= Feasibility , E= Evaluation assessment) which assesses your individual risks, so we can partner with you and your system of care to give you the best foundation for success.

First Class Agency
I can’t give this agency enough stars. I called in desperation for relief from the car of my mother who was suffering with mid-later stages of dementia. I could no longer take care of her on my own. As soon as I called with the details, Larry Fleischman was quick to set up a meeting with Gina, RN and me to get all the details necessary for a smooth transition. Gina instantly knew who would be the best fit and she could not have been more right. It is not easy to let go and allow strangers to help you in your home with your loved one, but this agency made me feel comfortable that I had made the right decision. Everyone I dealt with at Hahn was genuinely concerned and caring. I can’t thank them enough for all they did. When my mother went to the hospital and it became apparent she would not be allowed to return home, Hahn was there for me. Hahn assisted in finding a facility we would feel was right for her needs and also provided care options not presented by hospital staff. When my mother passed away, Hahn was once again there for me. They are a very caring organization. A quality you are not likely to find in the big corporate world. I highly recommend Hahn.

Quincy 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 Quincy:
Address: Kennedy Center, 440 East Squantum Street, Quincy, MA. 02171
Number: (617) 376-1243
The City of Quincy offers financial planning services for seniors once a month. There is no cost to the residents who take advantage of this service. Appointments should be made through the Department of Elder Services.
Address: 1305 Hancock Street, Quincy, MA. 02169
Number: (617) 376-1170
Seniors over the age of 65 may qualify for a $500 exemption on their property. They must meet income limits and property value limits. Those over the age of 70 may also qualify for another exemption of up to $295.23. Both of these tax assistance programs are administered by the Assessors Department.
Address: 108 Myrtle Street, Suite 112, Quincy, MA 02171
Number: (617) 284-1234
The MSAC lets seniors stay involved in politics and policy to focus on community and policy issues that may affect them. It also allows seniors to socialize with dinners, entertainment programs and advice as well as helping them understand how policies may affect their futures.
Address: 1509 Hancock Street, 3rd Floor, Quincy, MA. 02169
Number: (617) 479-8181
The Quincy Community Action Programs offer a variety of assistance to help seniors and residents. Some of these programs include heating assistance, utility discounts, energy conservation and the repair and replacement of outdated heating units to help them keep warm. QCAP also works with seniors to upgrade homes with energy-saving measures.
This group provides a meals on wheels service that delivers nutritious home-style meals straight to seniors’ doors. Each meal provides a third of their daily nutritional requirements, and the organization can accommodate those who need particular diets. It also provides meals at various senior centers.
