Gainesville, Virginia, is home to nearly 1,000 seniors aged 65 and older. The area features plenty of senior-friendly activities and locations, including Manassas National Battlefield Park, a historic Civil War site that sparks the interest of many senior citizens who live in the area. The city is also home to a range of other enjoyable venues that appeal to older adults including Bull Run Regional Park, which holds a festival of lights during the holidays and offers other activities throughout the year such as swimming and scenic, easy hiking trails.
There are plenty of home care agencies serving Gainesville and its surrounding areas, and according to the Genworth 2018 Cost of Care Survey, seniors using their services pay an average of $22.50 per hour for homemakers and an average of $23.38 per hour for home health aides. These costs come in just a little bit higher than state averages, which are $21.00 per month for homemaker services and $22.00 per month for home health aides. When based on 44 hours of care per week, seniors in Gainesville can expect to pay an average of $4,290 per month for homemaker services or $4,458 per month for a home health aide.
Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Gainesville. Data for the closest city, Washington, D.C., has been used instead.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Gainesville area – complete with types of care provided, services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help seniors and their families access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

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!

we were paying out of pocket for trained aides, not someone needing training.
