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

"I am so glad that I contracted the services of Gregg and Eileen at Right At Home for my mother's care during her last weeks. They were very caring, professional and accommodating in expediting a schedule for her in a very short time frame. The Health Aides they provided were also very caring and professional enabling me to feel comfortable leaving mom at home with them so I could conduct my other responsibilities. I could not had done that without their help. I recommend them highly."

"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."

"Gentle Hands was very good. The two attendants I had were very caring and good.They were careful, helpful and have a very positive attitude.I had no problems with them at all. They were good with my mom and assisted her with activities of daily living. Doreen could have a lot more of information printed when she came. I had interviewed other agencies and they all had printed materials where you can read what exactly what whey were gonna do and what's expected. It would be easy for me to go through after they leave. I still chose her then because of her personality. I felt confident with her. I think she could give more of a better presentation if she had more material. It would make her more professional that way. "

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

"We have used aides from the Forest Hills Home Instead for over five years for my mother. That length of time should tell you upfront how pleased we are. Initially aides were needed for just part of the day. As my mother needed more care as she got older, Beverly worked with us to expand the hours. Now we have four aides who work 12-hour shifts around the clock. We live over 1000 miles away and would not be able to keep Mom in her home as she wants without the wonderful women who take care of her. (We have met all of the current aides during pre-Covid trips to see Mom, as well as communicate with them on the phone, and can honestly say we like each one.) Beverly and her office have worked with us over the years to minimize new people when an aide is sick or going to be on vacation since changes make Mom very anxious. As sometimes happens, if my mother just doesn't like a person, that has also been resolved quickly. If I'm concerned about something, I call or email and Beverly decides with us what action to take. If an aide is concerned about a change in my mother's health, Beverly lets us know. She even called us when the pandemic became bad in NYC to tell us what precautions they were having the aides take. Communication is easy and prompt. I have no reservations about marking five stars."

"Elite Home Care is wonderful. The staff is great. If I have any questions or whatever, they promptly answered. They're absolutely professional and prompt. We have an aide three days a week for my dad. She takes care of my dad, gives him his three meals a day, I set up the medication, and she gives it to him. Eli and the young girl that's working in the agency are wonderful, they're very helpful. This agency is extremely helpful to our family in getting us the right aides, answering our questions promptly, and getting back to us. We're very happy that we reached out for help and I never had to switch. We're very satisfied with them."

If you need services right away, if you need someone professional, that's caring, and provides the services you need, that's the care service for you. They were local, so it wasn't far away for them to travel to get here, which was very helpful and they were always here on time."

"My mother is using Fairfield Family Care. The caregiver is doing a decent job. My mother is hard to get along with, but we've been pretty happy with the caregiver. They give her her medications every day, they cook her meals, they help her with any daily activities like gardening, and they've been doing some projects like rearranging closets and other things that she can't reach or get to. I would recommend them."

"We had Home Instead aides for over a year, 5 days a week. A few times we had some aides that were "not a good fit" for us, she was removed from our list immediately but they took the time to ask what went wrong so they could improve for future matches. They are very flexible with scheduling especially during our hospital and rehab stays. I can't imagine a better organization to help dealing with our new reality.I truly couldn't have cared for my husband at home without them"

"I have been utilizing a better care options service for some time now, and would happily recommend them to anyone seeking at-home care, as I have previously recommended them to my friends. Rinella is intelligent, answers any questions I have, and is always willing to help. Digna is attentive, friendly, and similarly is always willing to help. Their office staff is always a pleasure to work with, and I only have praise for this company!"

"We hired Touching Hearts at Home to take care of our dear friend all the way in NYC. We live in Tennessee so we needed a company that is in constant contact with us in regards to our friends care and we have certainly found that to be true with Touching Hearts. I absolutely love the Portal so everyone is on the same page and I can always see what our friend has been up to. "
