The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in East Meadow, NY for 2025

"We did use Right at Home for one visit, but the gentleman who came was from Queens, and he said that he didn't think he could come unless it was at least eight hours. I haven't used anyone else yet as I am managing on my own, but at some point, I would probably call them back when I need them for more than eight hours, and I might also try some other agencies. I basically just need it for respite because I am the primary caretaker, and I need to get away every now and then, so that is the whole issue. I had him for four hours; my original plan was to have him overnight. In some aspects, he seemed very good, while at other aspects, he seemed a little young and inexperienced, so we weren't 100 percent comfortable, but that was not the primary reason. He was OK being a man, but I don't know if my husband would have been that comfortable having him, and it was just a personal thing. But Right at Home was fine. I really have no complaints. It is just difficult to find the right fit. Everything was on the up and up; there were really no problems. The only thing I would have liked -- which I didn't get -- was I had to sign a number of papers ,and I did not receive any copies, which I think it would have been nice for them to at least mail me some copies. I got no copies of any of the documents that I signed; that is my only complaint. "

"Home aide turned out very okay. No complaints."

"I get the help needed inside the house, but I need the aide to drive my parents to some of the doctors' appointments. However, none of the aides can even do that, and they can't even roll her up and down the ramp. They oversold their capabilities in that respect. The cost is comparable with the other providers. They do light cleaning, help with bathing, walk them around, organize cabinets, and do personal grooming, which is the most important thing. They're very good aides. One of the positive things they do is provide services to on a discount for going back and forth to the hospital and the doctor. They also have a good RN case supervisor."

"My experience with Gentle Hands Home Care has been pretty good. I've only had one caregiver, and she's good. They provide companionship, and they help me with everything. The schedule is flexible, and they're the least expensive compared to other agencies."

"I am using Home Instead - Huntington Station, NY, for my dad. They help with light cleaning, bathe him, do light laundry care, and clean up the house. If they had to run out and do an errand for him, they would. I met with the people, and they were very nice. My father tends to like them. The scheduling is fine. They work it out with the times my father is comfortable with: late morning and early afternoon. They're very personable people and seem to care about their job and who they're helping."

"I have Companions Plus for my wife. They help her with all activities of daily living such as washing, bathing, and walking her to the kitchen and helping and encouraging her to eat. We have this one aide who's very good and comes promptly. So far we're very happy."

"Gentle Touch has provided round the clock 24/7 care to my mom while recovering in a rehab facility. The attentiveness, dedication and flexibility by the whole organization has been above and beyond. Responsive, quick and patient, they have accommodated all our requests efficiently and quickly. Moreover the aides that have provided have not only been punctual and present, but have gone out of their way to treat my mom as if she was one of their relatives and not just a client. We were told about them by a friend and needed them for a fairly quick turnaround, so even basic competency would have sufficed. However it has been so much more and a pivotal piece of my mom's recovery. Can't recommend them enough."

"My 90 yr old mom is currently using a lovely health care aide provided by Home Instead. All I can say is WOW. Beverly personally brought moms aide to the home to get us all acquainted. Rosemarie is a caring, sweet, skilled woman with high standards for her own work. She helps my mom with all daily living and anything she does, cleaning, making beds, meals etc are done with the highest standards I could hope for. I am truly thankful for Home Instead. They give me peace of mind for my mothers care, since I live 2-3 hours away. Thank you!! "

"We started and we finished using Lean On Me Home Care INC. They helped my mother with bathing, dressing, and mobility. The caregivers were very nice. They did very well. The billing was a bit automated, so there would be some mistakes, but nothing crazy. They tried to be very flexible. Our experience was very good. They were very easy to deal with. They always answered my emails and always got back to me promptly with phone calls. Scheduling was flexible. The care they provided was good. They were very comprehensive. We liked them."

"We used Fairfield Family Care. They were fine. We had a couple of people stay, one we liked better than the other, but they certainly did what they were supposed to do. I just needed night help while I was recovering from surgery myself, just to stay overnight to help my husband in case he had to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. There were two caregivers. One of them was a bit more personable and spent more time talking to my husband. The other one was more businesslike. They're all expensive, but it was worth it for me because I needed the help. When I did the research, they were actually less expensive than most of the others. They made it very easy. They came to the house. They discussed the situation. They're very responsive."

"We're using Elite Home Care for my mother. We wanted someone for four hours and the majority of the agencies were eight hours. We were able to get four hours a day for my mother, which was what we needed. I liked their flexibility. My mother likes to have a little companionship in the evening and showering. Washing up in the evening is when she needs the most assistance. The caregivers seem caring. My mother's content. It's just initially it was a little rough because many of them came from Brooklyn and were in Lynbrook, so it took a little while for them to get somebody situated during the week and the weekends. They're not consistent with the time every day, but they've gotten better because I spoke to them. However, they're not so engaging. My mother wanted them to maybe wash something in the sink and they're like, "We don't do that." There are very few things that they do. It's very basic."

"We are satisfied with the service provided by Home Instead, the aides sent for my parents were kind and very helpful. "
