The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Washington, NJ for 2025

"My husband had a series of illnesses and needed much attention during the night, which meant I didn't sleep. Caring for him during the day was exhausting and I was becoming irritable. Always Best Care arranged for 2 staff members who shared 6 12 hour night shifts. They were reliable, professional and caring. Greg checked in frequently to make sure all was well. It was a life-saver for me. I would recommend this agency without hesitation."

"For the past several years, my mother has had an aide 2 days a week. But with the pandemic, she now has a daily aide, since family members can’t enter the bldg. This help has been invaluable. I have an excellent rapport with her aide and the agency is responsive and attentive to any requests "

"Great service. Extremely attentive to any request I needed for my 97 year old Mom. Very kind caregivers. Highly recommend."

"Always Best Care provides extremely caring, compassionate help for my mom, I live out of town, and can't be there myself very often. But this business goes all-out to take care of my mom. I don't know what we would do without them. "

"We have had Home Instead for our Dad's care for over 3 years now. In one word? Blessing!! Simply amazing how perfectly they have matched the right caregivers for the different levels of need for Dad over the years. The care they provide for him is unmatched. The office staff have been accommodating and respectful to him and our family as well. This has been a wonderful experience. I am so thankful! Thank you Home Instead! Simply the best!"

"We are doing seven days a week with Amada Senior Care Roxbury, NJ. The owner was here this morning to check everything out. They also came out to the hospital to meet us before we made a decision. They've been efficient all the way through. I have two caregivers, one person on the weekend and one person during the week, and they're both excellent. They're very caring. They pitch in where they're needed, and I don't even have to ask, so it has been a very good experience. When someone is very, very ill, you need that kind of support. Because my spouse is incontinent, they make sure he is clean. They shave him, and they make sure his hair is cut. They make sure he is comfortable with the bed settings, and they make sure his skin is good. He has a very severe foot problem, so they make sure the pillows are right. They provide general care for him all around."

"Everyone is lovely, helpful, and considerate. Very positive experience. Will be using them again. "

"I found Home Instead from the Caring.com website. I did not regret hiring them because they are very thorough and if I have to change the time it's fine with them. They are very flexible. They don't oblige me of certain schedule and hours. They are not strict like I should have Mondays to Fridays or whatever. If I would need them and call them they would send somebody out right away. That's what I like best about them. My husband is very comfortable having the caregiver around for a companion and to watch over him. "

"Compassion, professionalism from start Caregivers pleasant, friendly, compassionate Agency was very responsive to any and all changes throughout my mother's care. I was so impressed with the qualifications required by the agency with regards to their caregivers. They gave us a sense of security and assurance we did not get from others. Our family would recommend Home Instead to other families that have found the need for assistance when caring for a loved one at home. "

"Was very satisfied with the service. We had 2 different girls and both were wonderful with dad. Had Luisa D and Maura. I think there is a 4 hour minimum if I remember right. Could have used some days of a shorter shift but all in all it was worth it. "

"Our family quickly got word that Mom had to go into Hospice Care. She was in congestive heart failure. Her wishes were to not go into a nursing home. I got a recommendation for Right at Home. Called them one day, the manager showed up in the hospital the next day to review my Mom's needs. They instantly started us on a home care program for Mom. We initially did 24/7, then backed down to 4 hour blocks of care as needed. Right at Home is flexible. The care takers are wonderful. They are all different personalities, but they are on time and they will care for your loved one. If the patient needs meds, it is best that they are still alert enough to know what they are taking. Right at Home can hand you the meds,, but not actually give them to you. If you go with just one full time care taker, yes you might get a better deal per hour. But, we could not afford to have Mom with no one there. If the scheduled care taker could not make it, Right at Home Schedulers immediately get a substitute. The management was caring, always there for me to call. They even have a hot line for after hours and someone will call you back. They were a God send for my Mom and our family. They watched Mom, did her wash, dishes, light clean up. Made the bedding and washed that. Cleaned her up and took her to and from the bathroom, as she needed assistance with that. They also gave her meals that we had pre-made and were in our refrigerator. I hope they work out for you as well. We were very blessed to have had them and they were new to our area, so that was equally another blessing. I could actually visit the office and speak to people if I needed to. God Bless any of you out there who need this type of help. I know it is not an easy time in your lives."
