Founded in 1818, Doylestown, PA, has a rich offering of sites and attractions for seniors that love history and culture. Stunning architecture and artifacts are available for viewing in the Fonthill Castle and Mercer Museum, and the township features more than 400 acres of scenic parks and trails. Regular enrichment and wellness programs are hosted by the Parks and Recreation Department to promote learning and engagement among the community, and events such as the Doylestown Arts Festival allow residents to explore the local art scene firsthand.
Several in-home care services are available to the 17,398 residents living in Doylestown, of whom 23.3% are aged 65 and over. According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020, prices for homemaker services at $4,910 and home health care at $4,957 are nearly the same. However, both are more expensive than national averages for homemaker and home health aide services, which are $4,481 and $4,576, respectively.
Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Doylestown, so data for the closest city, Trenton, NJ, was used.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Doylestown 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.

My beloved dad recently passed away after losing his battle with cancer. During his last months, he was lucky enough to have had Claire as his caregiver and friend. I firmly believe that Claire extended my dad’s life because of the love, laughter, compassion, silliness and extraordinary level of CARE she gave my dad – and she made him feel alive more than he had in a very long time. She was so good with him and he enjoyed his time with her so much that he actually forgot he was sick when she was around. They became forever friends, even though "forever" didn’t last long enough. From the very first day that I contacted Always Best Care of Upper BuxMont/Doylestown to arrange home care for my dad, I was met with an impressive and unexpected level of kindness, understanding and humanity. The owners, along with their team, felt like part of my family – which sounds strange I suppose, but there’s really no better way to describe it. This is not your typical caregiving agency, that’s for sure! I will forever be grateful to all of these wonderful people for how well they treated my dad.

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.

Doylestown 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 Doylestown:
Address: 700 N. Shady Retreat Rd., Doylestown, PA 18901
Phone Number: (215) 345-6065
Meals on Wheels of Central Bucks County has been delivering nutritious food to seniors since 1972. A health care facility prepares the dishes and packs two complete meals onto a tray, which is then delivered by volunteers. The nonprofit organization charges $8 per tray, and seniors can choose how many days of the week, up to five, that they would like to receive a delivery.
Address: 55 E. Court St., 3rd Floor, Doylestown, PA 18901

As a 501c3 nonprofit, the Bucks County Opportunity Council offers many services free of charge to individuals in need, including assistance with tax preparation and a weatherization program aimed at reducing home energy bills. The organization also offers the CFSP Senior Food Box program that allows individuals aged 65 and over with low incomes to receive nonperishable food supplies, such as canned vegetables, peanut butter or cereal.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
