The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Bedford, NH for 2025

"My 97 year old aunt was still living by herself in her own home when she started to fall. My wife and i decided we would get her into the nursing home until we could retrofit our house to have her stay with us. She had very limited mobility and required a care giver to come in the morning and again in the late afternoon to get her in and out of the bathroom, bathed, dressed etc. The first agency we chose unfortunately did not work out too well and we had Gary come in and do a site visit and meet with my aunt. I only wish we had chosen them from the beginning. The difference was like night and day. Our biggest concern was reliability, with APAH we had access online to the care giver schedule, Belinda was always available if I had questions or concerns with the schedule. The caregivers were professional, kind , compassionate and very reliable. In particular Tina was fantastic but they were all excellent at their job. We discovered that though rewarding, taking in an elderly relative to care for is stressful and carries a ton of responsibility. Thank God for Gary and his team, they took so much of the stress away. Unfortunately, my aunt recently has moved into the nursing home due to health concerns. But she was very grateful for the care she received and was very fond of all the girls that she dealt with. I would not hesitate to recommend APAH Merrimack Valley if you need in home care providers."

"I have a very positive response about Homewatch CareGivers. I'm very comfortable having them for my wife. They help her with bathing, they do game playing, and they supervise her lunch. I'm dealing with some other people now, not the people that we had initially, but the transition was seamless and very positive. I'm very happy with who we got."

"I used Home Instead for three weeks for my mom. They were wonderful! The person that came out to do the initial interview was very nice and informative. She also wasn't pushy. At that time, we just needed them to help my mom for three weeks. It was a temporary thing. The girl they sent us was very nice. She helped my mother get washed and dressed and my mother really liked her. They can do a lot for you. This was our choice because, frankly, they were the first ones to call me back promptly and I needed someone right away. They're the first one that got back to me. "

"I was skeptical about strangers coming in to care for my mother, but Terry, Donna, and Claire (in the office) were very easy to do business with. My mother’s caregivers (Farouk and Sophia) were extremely caring, compassionate with my mother, and our whole family. I would recommend anyone to contact this office for help with home health care!"

"Alba was an excelent helper. I would give her an A+, thank you donna ferguson She also help me to set up my tv."

"You can only understand the hospice journey when you have to make it with your loved one. Lanette and her team know it well and she went above and beyond to help us through the difficult time of losing my beloved father. Each person that came to stay with us at my house had a special way about them that made me feel safe and comfortable doing things like sleeping through the night. Starting with Lanette, each employee is extremely professional and they truly love what they do. I can't imagine having made this journey with my family without the loving care of Lanette and her team to help us along the way. Highly recommend. "

"The caregivers provided for my mother were always on time, always patient and kind, always communicative with me and collaborative with other nurses or health care providers. They helped with preparing food and eating, personal hygiene and dressing, sometimes just talking and keeping my Mom company. I could not have asked for better care and support in my mother's last months."

"My mom is now staying with me. I hired someone from Guardian Angel Services to help care for her a couple of days a week. We interviewed many different agencies, and they were very open about what to expect from them. They came to the home first with one interview just to talk about their place and what they provide. Then when they had someone that they felt would be a good match for my mother, we had a meet and greet, you could say. The woman came over with the manager, and we just sat and all talked and got to know her, the person that would be caring for my mom, for them to both have a good fit. She's a lovely person, and the process has been very good to have everything come together and they've been very accommodating."

"We started working with Brightstar in Sept. of this year. My husband has PD and it was no longer safe to leave him when I needed to attend appts. It's been an overall positive experience; our caregiver (Isabel) has been fantastic. She's kind, helpful and unfailingly cheerful! I'd also like to give a shout out to Renee who has endured my numerous emails and phone calls with unlimited patience. Wishing all at Brightstar a very Happy New Year!"

"My daughter was living in NH and was put on IV's beginning in February of this year. Her doctor recommended Critical Care Systems to oversee the administration of the medications at home. The visiting nurses had to teach her how to care for her PICC line and instructed her on her meds. She had visiting nurses at least once per week who were very thorough in their care and their instruction etc. Someone was also available by phone if necessary, 24 hrs per day. That is peace of mind at 2AM for sure! She always told me how patient, compassionate and empathetic her nurses were. I had the opportunity to go to NH and meet 2 of her nurses in March and I was very impressed! They were kind, compassionate and explained everything to me- they instructed me on what I needed to do since I was unfamiliar with it all. They never rushed us and took the time we needed to feel comfortable with everything. They even helped me by letting me take notes so I could refer to them if needed. She is no longer on IV's and has since moved from NH, but we will never the forget the compassion and kindness of the staff and nurses at Critical Care Systems! I hope they get to read this :-) and know we appreciated them. "

"BAYADA Assistive Care is relatively new to New Hampshire. I used their service for four weeks. They were terrific. They met my hours, their pricing was fair, and the person that they sent me did a great job. She took me shopping, she helped clean the house, and she helped me shower. I would recommend her to anybody. She was just exceptional. I love BAYADA. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Their pricing was excellent. I thought they had the best pricing. They're the most flexible about the hours that they could give. They had essentially no minimum hours, so that was very good for me as I recovered."

"We're using MAS Home Care for my mom because we needed one that took Medicaid. Currently they do light housework once a week and hygiene stuff for three to four hours. So far everything is routine or recurring. The billing has so far been pretty automatic since we're paying through Medicaid; initially it was private pay. The caregiver who's assisting my mom is great, she is very present, and pays attention to my mom. She's considering Mom's needs, but knowledgeable enough to be able to coax her and make her comfortable enough so that she can help her without making her feel like a helpless senior."

"I am very pleased with Comfort Keepers. My care keeper (Friday girl) is wonderful! Everything is great! "
