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

"All Secured Home Health Services has been awesome in their care for my mon. We are very grateful that she is there. They go above and beyond when caring for their patients. Management and staff are wonderful. I was so pleased to be welcomed and all questions answered by the most knowledgeable and caring staff. I can truly say it is a five-star plus facility. "

" I was disappointed in the level of service provided by BrightStar, and I would definitely not recommend this company, especially if your loved one has dementia. Because my mother could not remember what tasks she needed help with, she got very little assistance. I had provided a list of tasks, including 3 times a week bathing, throwing out old food, checking that she had taken her medications, making sure she locked her door, was wearing her medical alert necklace, light housekeeping, etc., but this list was not given to the various aides that showed up. (During this period when BrightStar was coming six days a week, a cleaning company refused to clean her bathrooms because of smeared feces on the floors.) My mother would dismiss the aides after half an hour, saying she “couldn't think of a thing for them to do.” (This was not adequately communicated to me. I only found out when I installed nanny cams in the home.) The company went through a series of bookkeepers, and as soon as one had learned the ropes, she was gone, only to be replaced by someone who had to learn the process for submitting invoices and logs to the insurance company for reimbursement. We chose this company because they would agree to a 2 hour minimum – my mother's preference – instead of the standard 3 or 4 hour minimum other companies require, but I regret the choice. After my mother moved to assisted living, the company without authorization debited money from my mother’s bank account to pay for past services that I had hesitated to pay without receiving the logs for those dates. (The insurance company won’t reimburse without receiving the daily logs.) I had requested the daily logs for those invoices, and the company never sent them to me. Imagine my surprise when I notice over $800 taken from the account without either my knowledge or consent! "

"We're with Options For Senior America. It's just fantastic for my wife. We're fine with it. The caregivers are great, very kind, and anticipate things for my wife that I don't even anticipate, and she just loves them. She just loves all the people and goes to the daycare during the day. She loves it so much that she calls it "going to work." In her mind, she's helping others, and to me that's the most important thing. They offer in-home care, have a 24-hour facility if you need it, and cater to all types of situations. My wife has frontotemporal dementia, which is a really rare form of dementia. It's not even dementia in the classic clinical terms, but they're really good with her, and she just loves them, and she just looks forward to it every day, and I'm glad for that. I'm happy with them, and the price is pretty good. They're reasonable. "

"Very happy with the care they are providing my mother. All of the aids have been wonderful. "

"We got SYNERGY HomeCare of Richmond agency for my mother-in-law, and it's working out very well. They have a companion that comes in and does light housekeeping and food preparation. If they needed it, they would also do some ADLs. They will transport her to the grocery store or on short errands there in town. They just give her some companionship, and my mother-in-law enjoys sitting and talking to someone. We've only had them for two weeks, but so far, it's been great. I have not met the caregiver myself, but my mother-in-law said that she's very caring and knowledgeable with what she asks her to do. She feels like she's very trustworthy. They were flexible with our needs. They work hard to try to match a personality that fits the client."

"Comfort Keepers has really helped me out with my dad. They come by one day a week (for 3-4 hours) and help him clean, do laundry, change sheets, grocery shop, and encourage him to get up and shower and take a walk. As he's mostly able to care for himself inside his home, but not really able to get out, this seems to be a great service. He's had several caregivers from comfort keepers, but he's enjoyed the company of all of them and has had no complaints. They take some of the weight off my shoulders as well. "

I am John Bonner, proud owner of Homewatch CareGivers of Richmond. RVA has been home to me for just about my entire life as my family moved here from New Jersey at an early age.

I came into this business not only as an owner, but as a client.

"We hired Care Advantage - Mechanicsville for my dad. Dad likes the caregiver, she's really sweet, really kind to my dad, and does exactly what we ask her. She comes a few days a week and does light housework, makes him breakfast and lunch, and hangs out with him."

"I had help that came from Southeastern Home Health Care. They would come in and check my vital signs. They would talk to me, if I had concerns or was upset about something. They would check on me, when I had to go to the hospital. They provided everything that they were supposed to. They gave assessments on how you are functioning. If you needed something in between visits, you just call, and they would be here either within minutes, or if they were tied up with another patient, as soon as they were through with them. They were wonderful, supportive and very caring. They were really great and I couldn't say anything bad about them. I was very satisfied with them. "
