Topsfield is located near the Atlantic coast, in Massachusetts’ North Shore region. The community is famous for the Topsfield Fair, America’s Oldest County Fair with crowds that gather to over 500,000 over the 10-day event. The area is rich in natural beauty and wildlife, in places like Mass Audubon Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary. The community itself is a suburb of Boston, but far enough from the city center to give residents the feel of a rural way of life. With nearly a quarter of the town’s population senior citizens, Topsfield may be a great place for retirees.
Retaining enough independence to age in place, in their own homes, is important to many Topsfield seniors. To help them, the area has many qualified home health care or homemaker service providers. The costs for these run a little higher than the state average, with health care workers costing an average of $28.75 per hour and caretakers averaging $28.50. Massachusetts overall averages about $1 less per hour. Seniors budgeting for home care services can anticipate spending almost $5,500 per month, according to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2019.
Note: Home care cost data was not available for Topsfield, 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 Topsfield 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.

I chose them after speaking to the owner. He called me back right away and we spoke on the phone. He was actually the only person that called me back after I had reached out to them.
Their care we’re phenomenal. They were amazing. The owner was very invested and helped me through the entire process that I was going through. I was getting an elderly woman out of a nursing home and putting her back into her home, which was the reason why I needed his service which was a 24 hour care service. He helped me through the entire thing when I didn’t know what I was doing. Their attention to detail in individual support was amazing.
The caregivers that we had were amazing. There were several of them, because it was 24 hours so they took shifts. They were kind and compassionate and just amazing people; really kind, loving skilled, everything all combined. They were everything that you would want.
It was 24-hour care so it was everything, bathing, toileting, dressing, companion, cooking, and cleaning.
Our family friend was comfortable with the caregivers. She loved them and they had an excellent relationship. They had a passion for taking care of the elderly, which I think was something special.

Topsfield 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.

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.
