60 Home Care Services for Seniors Serving Arlington, VA

IncrediCare has very good caregivers and they really look out after people. The services I received from IncrediCare were helpful because the caregiver I had was very good with my dogs and took them out on a regular basis. She did the dishes often and helped me with the laundry. (read less)

They should be trained in how to take care of people with dementia. The regular caretaker is outstanding, however, she leaves twice a year for like 6 weeks to go to Morocco, and the caretakers that have come to replace her have not been of the same quality. (read less)

You will probably only call Griswold Home Care at a critically bad moment in your life. Lucky for you your life will get a little bit easier when you do. Your loved one will still be sick or in need but the team at Griswold will help you in an efficient, caring, knowledgeable, reliable and all around fantastic way. Our newly married daughter became almost completely paralyzed over the course of a few days with Guillain-Barre syndrome. After weeks in the hospital, she was approaching discharge and we needed to find home care. Navigating through the best caregiver agencies was enormously difficult. To complicate matters, we knew our daughter needed personal care assistance at home, but she refused. None of the caregiver agencies we interviewed had experience with GBS patients and so we were naturally concerned. But Griswold and Stephanie stood out tremendously. Stephanie responded to our concerns openly and with integrity. She understood our daughter’s frustration with dependency and offered her the most beautiful gift of agency. I get choked up thinking about it because GBS had taken away all her privacy, independence, and control. Stephanie brilliantly understood. I cannot express enough the relief and comfort we felt after meeting Stephanie and knowing we found the best caregiver agency. The Griswold CNAs are caring, compassionate, experienced and patient: especially patient, because at the outset our daughter was overwhelmed and sent every caregiver home. But this is where we saw the Griswold team at its most outstanding. Collette, the Care Manager, correctly intuited our daughter’s state of mind, adapted her care plan and found a perfect match for her with caregiver “I”. With caregiver “I” our daughter’s days brightened and she focused on her recovery. Griswold continues to provide our daughter with outstanding care and for us, peace of mind. Their flexibility in accommodating her constantly changing hours, days, and needs is extremely important and very much appreciated. As she graduates this month from in-home PT to outpatient PT, we rest easy knowing a Griswold CNA will be by her side during this next stage in her recovery. Thank you Griswold. I don’t know what we would do without you. (read less)

Home Instead has been helping us for about six months, every day. We really do not know how or even if we would be able to cope with our difficulties without Home Instead. The nurses who came to our house were competent, were extremely friendly, besides helping our physical needs were also a moral help. They always showed up on time. The sfaff of Home Instead also monitors our situation so as to ensure that the help they provide responds to our needs. They also efficiently take care of the paper work with our ensurance company. They are friendly and competent. If we ever made a good decision regarding our health care, it was when we decided to ask Home Instead to help us. Andrei Filotti, PhD (read less)

Comfort Keepers had been wonderful. The caregiver changed my mother’s clothes, they made her lunch, they made sure she took her medication, and they washed her. My mom can do some things herself but you have to prompt her. She wasn’t always like that when they first started coming, but she is like that now. Martha was still fantastic. She was the person that came all the time. If she couldn’t, then they would have someone else come. The people in the office were always great no matter who I talked to. They were always on top of everything. (read less)

Butters Home Health Care was absolutely fabulous. Everyone they sent was very compassionate and did more than just help out with the care of my mother-in-law. They cleaned the house, straightened up dishes, and vacuumed. They were awesome. The owner of the company came to the funeral and he’s a very nice guy. We love them. One lady was very energetic and offered to do anything. She had done a lot of housecleaning. They were very good. We had no complaints about them at all. (read less)

* * Outstanding Prompt Services * * PARAGON responded quickly & booked caregivers within 12 hours from request in difficult situations. I continue to be impressed & satisfied. My Medical Needs: I fell in early January 2019 & had a blood spot on my brain. After few weeks of inpatient, i was told to hire a caregiver to help me. And I went home in wheelchair, for the first time. First Agency – Disappointed I hired another agency recommended by hospital which was disappointing. I told them I needed help walking my dog & there was big miscommunication. One of their caregivers was uncomfortable with dogs & wouldn’t help me take my dog out. Called the corporate office & told me that is their policy & I’d have to hire someone as dog walker. Their caregivers were good. Then, I chose Paragon & been happy about my decision. PARAGON – Still using, and I would hire them again. I’ve told several friends about Paragon. If i was hiring caregivers for my children, family, no question I’d use Paragon. My schedule sometimes fluctuates due to medical appointments, etc. To me they’ve been flexible. Services provided They provided me caregivers who helped me With daily grooming, mobility, running errands (grocery run),, drive me to medical appointment, cleaning clothes, dishes, & my condo. I didn’t know they would do all that. I’m a new client & hope I’m not over exuberant. Just sharing my experience which has been good in a difficult time in my life. For me, my continued recovery wouldn’t have been this far without their help. (read less)

We used Total Care. They were awesome. The caregiver helped my mother-in-law with her medication and with going to the restroom. Unfortunately, on her first day, we ended up with getting a catheter put in, but the caregiver was very helpful. She helped the visiting nurse and got my mother-in-law some light lunch. She was a Godsend. She came Monday through Friday. She just was so calm and patient with her and with everything that was happening. (read less)

We are using Best Health Care Services for my wife’s rehabilitation. They are providing the services of a physical therapist and an occupational therapist. The PT comes three times a week for 45 minutes to an hour, and the OT is supposed to come two times a week. But so far they haven’t succeeded in getting anybody for OT to us. I would rate them at about a six on a scale of one to ten, and I would recommend them. They succeeded in providing something very important, and that is the services of an excellent therapist. We are very satisfied with that. (read less)

Every time I put in a request, I get a response within 24 hours. They are just very professional, and I have a level of confidence in the service. That makes life easier. I had a few experiences that were great and some that were just good. Some of the ladies that came didn’t seem as invested and interactive with the children. They might be on social media or something where as the other girls were phenomenal. (read less)
