The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Charlottesville, VA for 2025

"I hired Home Instead, and they were great, but it didn't work out well because my brother could not tolerate it. He fired them after four weeks. He needs help with housecleaning and laundry, they took him shopping, and took him to the doctor. He totally loved the intake person, but different people would come and take care of him, and it didn't work out. They couldn't manage to keep staff members for my brother."

"I am using Care Advantage for my mother. They help with bathing, toileting, and getting food. The caregivers are very good, very responsive, and good with communications and everything. The main person we've had went on vacation and they had to send somebody else out, but they filled the spot. There was only one person that they sent that didn't work out."

"At Home Care Staffing comes in and helps my mom go to the bathroom, fixes her meals, and just does some light housework, that includes washing her clothes and things like that. They are pretty skilled and they know what they're doing. They're very nice too. I am satisfied with them, but sometimes they don't have the staffing to cover if somebody is not there. They need to be staffed a little more."

"This company agreed to accept me as a patient after major surgery. I was discharged based on the fact that I would have in home health care. They never got approval from the insurance company even though they assured me they would and then never provided any service for weeks after the major surgery. Do not use this company."

"I have somebody coming in twice a week from BrightStar Care of Charlottesville for my wife. They come in and give her a shower twice a week and clean her up. I chose them because I could afford them better than I could the others. They're friendly. The young lady comes around but sometimes circumstances prevent her from being on time, but not all the time. I'm happy with them."
