READ MOREFairfax is a small independent city that’s also the seat of its namesake county. Only 24,276 people call this tight-knit community home, 15.3% of whom are senior residents aged 65+ — a slightly lower percentage of retirees than in the rest of the United States. Crime is rare in Fairfax, and residents are near several hospitals, including the Inova Fairfax Medical Campus and the Fairfax Community Hospital. Seniors in the city spend $5,339 each month on average for both home care and home health care. The two types of care are similar, but home health care aides are qualified to provide medical services in addition to non-medical personal care.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Fairfax area – complete with services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled resources to help seniors and their families to access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

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.

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.
