29 Home Care Services for Seniors Serving Princeton, NJ
The historic city of Princeton, New Jersey is situated in Mercer County and offers plenty of urban amenities amid a small-town atmosphere. Princeton has a humid continental climate of chilly winters and very warm summers. This small university city’s attractions are numerous and include plenty of parks and gardens, such as Prospect House Garden. There are also many dining and cultural venues, such as the Boheme Opera House. Princeton is also home to assorted historic sites, including Albert Einstein’s house. This small city has a modest population of 31,187 according to 2019 U.S. Census Estimates. Of these residents, 16.8% are 65 years of age or older, almost the same as the 16.5% average for the United States as a whole.
High quality primary medical care options are easily accessible in the city due to the presence of Princeton HealthCare System’s facilities and Penn Medicine Princeton Health. Homemaker and home health aide services have average respective costs of $4,910 and $4,957 in the region. This is a bit more expensive than national average prices of $4,481 and $4,576 for these services according to Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020 data.
Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Princeton, so data for the closest city, Trenton Area, was used.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Princeton 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.

We had a previous care agency that we had gone with that was recommended by the doctor’s office that didn’t work out. They were sending us people as old as my mother is and they couldn’t lift her because of their age. My brother and I looked online and the thing that struck out the most with Visiting Angels was that they offer companionship as well as care because that was a big issue. We wanted someone to be with her and provide her with stimulation. Ophelia has been with us for 9 years. She actually cares for my mom as she does to her own mother. They seem to have some symbiotic connection, five times now that someone else might not have picked up on certain cues. She would say, "Oh I need to check on her" and my mom has gotten sick on bed. It’s weird but she REALLY cares. It always worked out well. We got very lucky with the caregiver that we have. The office will give me a call to let me know who’s coming when Ophelia’s taking a break. So they’re good about that too. Every two months, a nurse will come out and review everything and make suggestions so that’s a nice feature also.

I hired Always Best Care for Mom Monday through Friday. They are expensive, but that’s the going rate, unfortunately. They were very reactive; I called them, and the next day, they were at the house doing the assessment to see what was exactly needed. However, there were two occasions where I called them and did not get a response back within 12 hours. On one occasion, I called them on a Friday afternoon, and they called me back on Saturday at 10:00. But, they’re not bad. The person they recommended was wonderful. I don’t have complaints about that.

We have Comfort Keepers for my mom and it’s working wonderfully. We are using them for the third time now, we’ve already had them before. They take her to the bathroom, help her with dressing and feeding, straighten up the house a little bit, and help her with laundry.
The scheduling was a little tough, only because right now there’s no one working but they’ve worked it out for me. I don’t do the billing, my sister does, but I think the bill was easy because she does it online. We’ve been using them for, probably, three years, on and off.
A nurse comes in every 3 months to evaluate and make sure that my mom’s doing what she’s supposed to be doing, that we’re happy with the services, and to make sure she’s healthy. They do offer live-in but mom doesn’t want that right yet so we didn’t get it. They offered driving too if I needed to take mom anywhere, but that’s for an additional fee.
They’ve been dependable and they’ve worked very hard to get the right caregivers so we’re very pleased.

I called Companion Care when I was looking for a caregiver for my mom. Kelly got back to me. He was prompt. I told him that my mother had a very specific person that she wanted. He found a caregiver for us who was willing to also take the job. Kelly was just responsive to what we needed and willing to give it a try and work with me.
The two people he sent us were very experienced enough to understand how to deal with elderly people. My mom is 90 years old. Sometimes she can be cranky and they don’t take it personally. For the most part, they’re very connected to my mom. They are very good companions to her. I know they take good care of my mom.
Kelly has worked with me through all of this. He was very understanding about everything. Anytime I need to contact him to deal with something, he is always willing to do whatever it is that needs to be done.

My uncle passed away in January. They were married for 54 years. She was having a hard time physically and emotionally. I think she felt a little better as she got somebody there with her. It’s good that she has somebody to talk to. Now, my aunt is recovering, and she looks fantastic.
