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

"I currently have Home Instead Merrick helping with my husband's care. They help out with showering and preparing lunch or breakfast, whichever is needed -- but it's mainly lunch. They see that he's dressed properly because he puts on daytime clothes at night and nighttime clothes in the daytime. They check after him and clean up if needed. They also do light housework, vacuuming, and take him for a walk when they can. Today he has a dental appointment, and the caregiver will be accompanying us. It's his first visit to that dentist so I'm going, but the caregiver will be driving us and acting as a companion to help him understand what's going on. They do whatever I ask them to; sometimes it's an errand, and sometimes just getting lunch for him if I don't have anything prepared. It's whatever I need at the time, like washing clothes and folding them from the dryer, and things like that. Whenever I have to speak with the manager or the people at the office, they're always very kind, very thorough, understanding, and easily reachable, so I've had no problem whatsoever. I've only been with them maybe three months, but they have been very responsive. If somebody could not come in, which happened a couple of times, they would let me know ahead of time and determine with me whether or not I wanted a replacement. I have not been with them that long, but I'm very pleased with them. "

"Under the the care of Marni and Greg Altfest, we have had an excellent experience with Home Instead. The women that looked after, and eventually befriended our mother, were kind, competent, compassionate and reliable. We were so lucky to have such special, deeply caring people in our lives. Over many years, they enriched our mother's life immeasurably. Marni and Gregg made sure that we consistently had the care that we needed, often through very difficult and frequently changing times. Our family is deeply thankful."

"Excel has provided aides for my 98 yo mother for several years. I am very happy with her care because her aides genuinely care about her. They are competent and professional. Interactions with the management are easy and I have had no problems with billing. "

"We are using Elder Home Care for my mom. They've been great at getting us the particular aides that we are looking for. My mom requires 24-hour care, so they've been wonderful. We originally started with just a couple of hours, mainly on the weekends. Once my mother needed 24-hour care, they got us to aides who would provide 24-hour care. My mom is at high risk of falling, so they watch her for that. My mother is pretty independent, so they are just to watch her do her normal day-to-day activities. They do help her with exercises and walking. They are making sure she walks and exercises during the day so that she doesn't just sit around."

"I can’t express enough gratitude for the incredible care Gentle Touch provided for my mom, who had Alzheimer’s and dementia. She was not an easy patient, yet every caregiver treated her with such kindness, patience, and respect. They were knowledgeable and equipped to handle the unique challenges she presented, which brought us peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time. They truly went above and beyond, supporting not only my mom but also our entire family. We felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend this agency to anyone in need of compassionate, reliable care for their loved ones. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. - The Peterson Family"

"I'm using Right at Home Eastern Queens. 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."
