"* * 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. "

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Seniors who wish to remain in their homes for as long as possible can get assistance from several Fairfax agencies dedicated to assisting older residents. These resources cover needs seniors might have regarding maintaining their homes, accessing financial aid and maintaining social engagement.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Home Repair for the Elderly Program for Elderly and Disabled Adults | (703) 246-5179 | Senior homeowners aged 62+ may be eligible for this free home modification program. To qualify, older residents must meet the income requirements and live in Fairfax County.

| The Virginia Energy Assistance Program | (855) 635-4370 | The state of Virginia can help low-income older adults pay for their energy bills.

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.


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.
