Located along the southern shore of Lake Erie, Cleveland is a major industrial city in northeastern Ohio. Designated by the World Health Organization as an Age-Friendly City and a member of the Global Network of Age Friendly Cities, the city ensures healthy and dignified living for seniors, who make up 13.5% of the total population of 381,009. Additionally, seniors can enjoy relaxing green spaces at The Cleveland Metroparks, which offers scenic hiking trails and lake access. Sports enthusiasts can cheer for major hometown teams, including the Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers at the city’s numerous game venues.
Along with the city’s age-friendly initiatives, home health care programs are available to Cleveland seniors, letting them live independently in their own homes. According to the Genworth 2019 Cost of Care Survey, the average costs of homemaker services and home health aides are even at $4,429. Seniors in the country as a whole spend an average of $4,290 for homemaker services and $4,385 for home health aides, which are lower than the city average by $139 and $44, respectively.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Cleveland 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.

In my case, I wanted someone to be with my mother primarily so I could 1-go shopping early one day a week, 2-work on a project in another part of the house without needing to stop and take care of my mom’s needs, and 3-have extra coverage while I was on vacation. My expectations of the caregiver were sometimes to assist mom with bathing and dressing as well as toileting, and to give pre-sorted meds, but also to interact with and engage my mother in activities which she enjoys. She also has needed supervision in ongoing physical therapy exercises.
There were a few communication issues at first with the agency in understanding what was expected of each other.
There has so far only been 1 time when the caregiver didn’t arrive on time. I haven’t personally interacted with all the caregivers who have taken shifts while I’m on vacation, but interactions that I did have were all satisfactory. The agency has worked diligently to get all the shifts covered that I needed – few hours in morning and few hours in evening.

My mother receives ADL, companionship, socialization and exercises from her Caregivers. Each of her caregivers are punctual and will willing change their times to accommodate changes in my mom’s or sister’s schedule.
My sister is with the caregivers more than I and she tells me that she enjoys their company as well as her opportunity for “down and me time.” I too am relieved that she appears so much more relaxed and less stressed. I feel that I have a good rapport with each HCA and can easily discuss my Mom’s care, listen to concerns and enlist their insights.
The office staff has been professional, courteous and readily addresses my questions and concerns, this includes the RN Manager, Mom’s care coordinator and scheduler and your phone staff who connects me to the right person or ensures that a message is generated to ensure a call back.

I recently used Four Seasons Home Care services for about a 3-month period. Navigating my husband from a skilled nursing facility to home care and then from a hospital back to home care with hospice, in both cases required extensive communications, paperwork and coordination. Hedi made my life much easier in both cases as she knew exactly what was required and followed up on details so nothing "fell through the cracks". The girls that she sent to the house were well trained and the ones that attended my husband most frequently were patient, understanding and kept their sense of humour which was necessary as my husband was not an easy patient due to the impact of strokes. In one case, the caregiver alerted me to call the doctor and suggested 911 which turned out to be the right call. She stayed with me throughout this dire moment even though it was past her timeframe to leave. When I had any questions, concerns or scheduling issues, Hedi was always available and addressed the situation efficiently. I highly recommend this company.

Thank you to Nick Mace and his team Adam and Karen at Blue Dots Cares for the great care that they are providing to our mom. Our mother suffered a debilitating stroke at a fairly young age and was not ready to even think about nursing or assisted living care. After many months of in hospital therapy and a short stay in assisted living, with the help of Nick and his group she was able to move back home where they provide daily help to her as she continues her recovery. Cannot say enough about the wonderful care that she receives from Adam and Karen. They help with everything from laundry, house-cleaning, walking the dog, going to appointments, cooking/prepping food, personal grooming to simple daily companionship. Adam and Karen are very considerate and have been so very wonderful to her. They do anything she asks them to do and she is very happy with them. The whole group at Blue Dots Cares is very knowledgeable and they have worked with our family to make sure we have the best caregivers to meet our needs. We are very pleased and would highly recommend Nick and group to anyone looking.

Cleveland Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place.
