Annandale is a community located in Fairfax County, Virginia, that offers a distinct blend of historic interest and ethnic diversity. Known for its large Korean population, the area is home to numerous authentic dining experiences and unique cultural events. With its many outdoor recreational opportunities and easy access to Washington, D.C., it’s no wonder that over 6,000 seniors call Annandale home.
Seniors who wish to age in place in the Annandale area have access to a number of local home care services at a lower cost than the national average.

This means that seniors in Annandale may be saving more than $300 in home care costs on a monthly basis.

Other than some initial difficulties getting the schedule worked out the service has been absolutely fantastic. The Girswold office staff did an amazing job getting care for my mother-in-law lined up on what was very short notice. The care givers have been excellent as well and having them has enabled us to allow my mother-in-law to recover from major surgery in her own home instead of going to a rehab facility. Considering the current uncertainties centered around the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing an elderly patient to recover at home is a substantial advantage to both the family and the patient.

Home Instead provides a companion in the house who comes twice a week for 4 hours each time. He is here to help me get around the house safely, to bring my lunch and medications at noon and to provide some social contact. I feel very safe in the house with him here.
Also important is that by having a companion in the house my wife gets "time off" to go out for walks, meet with her friends, run errands and be free to leave the house without worrying about me.
Any changes we need to make in this schedule have been easily handled by the agency. When my companion needs to make changes an alternate is always offered. When I have been hospitalized for a few days there has been no problem in changing/cancelling services with little previous notice.
This is a very helpful, knowledgeable agency that really does provide personalized services.

This company is beyond amazing and for one main reason- Dr.Green. She was very supportive and understanding and seriously did the most to help my family out in a extremely difficult time.
Both my mom and grandfather were hospitalized at the same time, in different hospitals and we needed help getting my grandfather home care upon his release. Dr.Green did her best to find us a caregiver with a similar background and one who spoke Arabic to make my grandfather feel more comfortable. My grandfather has a fear of hospitals and Dr.Green wanted to make sure his experience was a good one. Upon securing our home care nurse, she called and texted daily to see if we needed anything and was honestly such a pleasure to work with. She truly made our experience such a easy one and made a difficult time much easier. I don’t know how we would have managed without her.
Thank you Dr.Green!

Annandale 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 Annandale:
Address: 7610 Newcastle Drive, Annandale, VA 22003
Phone; (703) 941-1419
Sponsored by a number of area congregations and community groups, the Shepherd’s Center is a non-profit, interfaith organization that provides services for local seniors aged 50 and older to help them continue to live independently in their own homes and maintain a sense of involvement in the community. Services include a volunteer transportation service to take seniors to medical appointments, free of charge, as well as the Handy Helpers volunteer home repair program. The center also hosts bi-monthly luncheons featuring speakers and entertainment, and offers day trips and an educational lecture series.
Address: 3700 Pender Drive, Suite 300, Fairfax, Virginia 22030-6039
Phone: (703) 246-5179
Developed by the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority, the Home Repair for the Elderly Program (HREP) is designed to assist residents of Fairfax county aged 62 and older living on a low to moderate income with minor home repairs. Services include interior and exterior painting, window and door repair, plumbing and electrical work, as well as accessibility modifications. The program is completely free of charge, and provides eligible seniors with a crew to complete one week’s labor and covers the cost of materials up to $500.
Address: 12011 Government Center Parkway, Suite 708, Fairfax, VA 22035
Phone: (703) 324-5409
The Meals on Wheels (MOW) program is available to provide meals for adults aged 60 and older in Fairfax County who are unable to shop for groceries or prepare their own meals at home. The service includes a delivery of two daily meals: a hot lunch and a cold meal with a sandwich. Meals are prepared in local nursing homes, hospitals or by the Fairfax County Public School System, and are delivered by community volunteers Monday through Friday, with weekend services available in some areas. The service is free of charge, though participants do have the opportunity to contribute to the cost of the service if they are able.
Address: 12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 223, Fairfax, VA 22035
Phone: (703) 222-8234
To lessen the financial burden that seniors face, the Department of Tax Administration (DTA) offers a tax relief program for residents of Fairfax County aged 65 and older, or who are disabled. The program offers tax exemptions on real estate, personal property, household vehicle and rent, making it easier for seniors to age in place.
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.
