61 Home Care Services for Seniors Serving Arlington County, VA
Arlington is a historic southern suburb of Washington, D.C., and site of the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery. Over 3 million people visit Arlington to pay their respects at the cemetery each year, where over 400,000 veterans have been laid to rest since the Civil War. Seniors make up nearly 10% of Arlington’s 207,000 people, and many of them enjoy visiting the historic sites that dot the area close to the national monument, such as the home of General Robert E. Lee and Fort Ethan Allen, which was once a Civil War fortification but now contains a soccer park.
Seniors in Arlington can expect to pay an average of $3,670 per month for homemaker services and $3,861 for help from a home health aide, according to the 2018 Genworth Cost of Care Survey. Across the nation, seniors pay an average monthly cost of $4,004 for homemaker help and $4,195 for a visiting home health aide.

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 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.

We have FirstLight Home Care. They are for myself and my husband. We started out three days a week for four hours, and then at the beginning of this year, things got worse here, and our children felt that we needed round-the-clock care, and so we changed then. We do all that we can but they help us with dressing and they help with the laundry because the washing machine is downstairs and neither of us is able to go down. They help keep the house cleaned up. I do the meals but they help with it, too, and they also help with cleaning up afterwards. The caregivers are very good. They are on time.

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!

Arlington 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 Arlington:
Green Home Choice
Address: 2100 Clarendon Blvd Suite 1000, Richmond, VA
Phone: (703) 228-4792
Green Home Choice is an Arlington County program that enlists local builders to upgrade and install new solar and other green tech in the homes of seniors who pass income restrictions and other guidelines. Installation is offered at a discount or free for qualifying seniors.
Trash Pick-Up
Address: 4300 S 29th St., Richmond, VA
Phone: (703) 228-6570
Seniors who need help getting their trash to the curb for the normal pickup can request assistance from Arlington County through the Trash Pick-Up program. This service is available at no cost. Seniors may have to leave open access to the front or back door for collection, which happens as part of the neighborhood’s regular collection period.
Annandale Christian Community for Action
Address: 7200 Columbia Pike, Annandale, VA 22003
Phone: (703) 256-0100
The Annandale Church provides Richmond seniors with volunteer labor to help upgrade and modernize their homes. Repairs are done at no cost to qualifying seniors, who must own their residences and meet income guidelines. Limits apply to the type of work done, though weatherization and code maintenance are common.
Lifespan Respite Voucher Program
Address: 2100 Washington Blvd 4th floor, Arlington, VA 22204
Phone: (703) 228-1700
Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services offers Arlington seniors a Lifespan Respite voucher program that pays up to $400 a month toward the cost of respite care. Seniors, caregivers and loved ones can apply for this voucher through the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services online or by phone.
Weatherization Assistance Program
Address: 600 East Main Street, Suite 300, Richmond, VA 23219
Phone: (804) 371 7000
The Weatherization Assistance Program provides assistance to Arlington seniors who need help upgrading their home to lower their monthly home heating and cooling bills. Income and asset limits apply to all applicants, though the program is open to both homeowners and renters. Services are provided by local contractors, though applications may be made through the state office.
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.
