Dublin, Ohio, is a small but thriving suburb of nearby Columbus that offers many cultural, social and recreational hot spots without the heavy urban bustle of Columbus itself. Dublin’s humid continental climate is fairly moderate for most of the year with mild spring and fall weather. Residents can enjoy the city’s bustling Dublin Market outdoor shopping event, which runs from May to September, and the historic town center is also nearby. Numerous lovely nature parks are scattered throughout Dublin too. The estimated 2019 U.S. Census population of Dublin is 49,037 residents, of which 12.2% are 65 years or older. This is a bit below the U.S. average of 16.5%.
Dublin offers robust access to health facilities and the full-service Dublin Methodist Hospital is easily accessible. Nearby Columbus offers many more health facilities. According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020, the average cost of homemaker and home health aide services in Dublin is $4,576, which is close to national averages of $4,481 and $4,576 for these services respectively.
Note: Home care cost data was not available for Dublin, so data for the closest city, Columbus, was used.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Dublin 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.

A family wedding has a million little details. Among them, ensuring your 95-year old mother has the undivided attention of a skilled, caring individual who enables mom to attend, participate and enjoy (thus allowing you to do the same)! That’s exactly what we got with Sabrina from Right at Home.
She rolled with the uncertainties of the event, for example, sitting and mingling with the family at a black-tie event, while making sure mom was her primary focus. She tended to all her personal needs, including driving her back to her assisted living facility and tucking her into bed. We could not have chosen someone who was better suited for this once-in-a-lifetime event for our family. Sabrina truly gave us, and mom, the peace of mind we needed to enjoy every minute of the event. Thank you, Sabrina and Right at Home!!

My brother had serious heart surgery on Nov. 11; returning home after nearly 2 weeks, he lived alone. We hired Ben and his team. The care was outstanding — caring, on-time, responsive. They became part of our "family." Provided basic care — bathroom, bathing, grooming, med reminders, meal prep, laundry — 12-20 hours a day at the peak before my brother’s needs tapered off to 0 hours this weekend. We cannot say enough good things about Ben and Always There. Their goal wasn’t logging hours; it was to help my bro’ gain independence — safely. They followed all COVID protocols, too. HIGHLY recommend.

Our overall experience working with Senior Helpers Westerville was fine. I liked the person who did the orientation a lot. She also did all the initial screenings. When the caregiver first came out, she was very young, and didn’t have much experience. Her only experience was caring for her father, so she didn’t have a lot in common with my mother. She provided help with light housekeeping. The billing was fine, it was fair, what we expected, and it was easy.

So I was asked to write an honest review for Homewatch, which I will do without hesitation. Homewatch worked with my son for three years and their staff did an outstanding job. Never once did I feel uncomfortable with any of their caregivers, nor did I have have to be worried one of them wouldnt show up. On the rare occassion someone would call off for work, Homewatch was quick to replace them, so we never went a day without someone there with my son. Having and caring for an autistic child is difficult; Homewatch makes it more tolerable and made my life much easier. The staff was always punctual as well.

I’m using HomeCare.com. It’s fine. They’re very good and very responsive to any concerns I have, and they’ve provided me with a good health care aide, not great necessarily, but good. They also provide light housekeeping, they help me clean myself up, and they take me to my appointment. They get here within a certain time window between 7 and 7:30, and that’s when I need them here. A lot of times my communication is directly with the aides. If she can’t come on a certain day, the agency would contact me to see whether I need some assistance or need somebody to fill me in on a given day. I think I’m paying more than I probably should because they have a mandatory number of days that I can contract for, and that’s probably more than I usually need. To maintain the contract, I have to keep them on a certain number of days.

AAACare is the most kind and caring home car company my family has found in Franklin County, Ohio. They went above and beyond to match the correct caregiver (no questions asked). Every caregiver they provided had the correct training and qualifications. The caregivers themselves loved working for AAACare and reported to my family they recieve 50% more hourly wages than any other home care company in Central Ohio. My family, and I, cannot thank this company enough. It was very refreshing and surprising to meet a management team, and care team, that were both dedicated and compassionate. The rates were very affordable and were in the middle area of every company we have hired in the past (or requested a quote from in the past). This company deserves more than 5 stars! My family started with a small 2 hours every other week and, from there, we added on hours until we were using AAACare 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Our family had access to The Family Room (the client and family online portal) and reviewed the caregivers notes, schedules, payments, invoices, and communicated with the caregivers often. This benefit of care made us feel at ease! I have faith in humanity again after hiring AAACare for caregiving services!

I have a caregiver in interim. But they are not bonded. The girl was taking little things. I’ve been talking to people who had same experience as I. Things will disappear from time to time. But it’s more than 2 weeks now since the last time they sent someone over. That’s why I’m trying to look for someone. The girl is good but really not honest because things disappear. I was thinking if it was me but there were 3 of them and that went on a number of times. There was this one aid who will hide things and you couldn’t find it then after 3 or 4 days later it will show up. This was just simple stuff but I don’t want anymore girls until I can find out what is happening. If it was me or it was them. I need to find out for myself if I’m losing my mind or is it something that the girls are doing. I would not recommend this to anybody. They just don’t care. As long as they are getting the money. That only matters to them. It’s the job. They haven’t sent anybody for 2 weeks. With regards to the care of the caregiver they are nice & warm but not always. This is what the interim tells people and I hate this: "You cannot act like the person is a relative, you got to have differentiate between being an aid and being someone that you could talk to". It’s really disappointing. I just need someone who will check on me like twice a day and ask if I’m okay. One thing that needs to improve is to be compassionate with people.

Dublin Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Dublin:
Address: 5600 Post Road, Dublin, OH 43017
Phone Number: (614) 410-4559
The DCSC Organization offers membership to anyone 55 or older in and around Dublin and membership includes access to a whole menu of social, recreational and other activities throughout the year. The annual dues for entry are extremely modest at $15 for Dublin City residents and $21 for nonresidents; paying these opens access to all of the organization’s activity rosters.

The Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging (COAAA) facilitates the nationally funded Family Caregiver Support Program, which is aimed at helping caregivers of elderly adults in coping with their responsibilities for their older family members. Aside from offering counseling sessions and workshops on eldercare issues to caregivers, this program also helps caregivers locate subsidies and sources of funding for care assistance through state and federal programs. It also can directly offer funds to caregivers for short periods of time if they’re eligible.
