Greenway is a very small, rural community in Central Virginia, just a few miles north of Appomattox, where the Civil War ended. Nelson County is home to 15,000 people, 27% of whom are seniors aged 65 and over. Much of daily life in Greenway takes place at home since the area lacks markets or large commercial facilities. The entire strip of the James River where Greenway is located is heavily forested, which makes for popular hunting and hiking visits from tourists between spring and fall. Seniors in Greenway can enjoy long walks in nearly pristine wilderness, or lazy raft rides down the James to nearby Gladstone. The James River State Park to the south of town is also good for senior-friendly horseback riding adventures.
Seniors who live in Greenway can expect to pay an average of $3,956 a month for homemaker services. Home health aides in Nelson County cost an average of $3,995, according to the 2018 Genworth Cost of Care Survey. This works out to $20.75 and $20.95 an hour for these services, respectively. Across the nation, seniors pay monthly averages of $4,004 and $4,195 for these services, or $21 and $22 an hour.
Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Greenway, so data for the closest city, Lynchburg, was used.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Greenway 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.

With regards to my mother, Hazel D., I wanted to take this opportunity as a past client of yours to thank Homewatch Caregivers and to give my thoughts. Mrs. Day was my mother and their client from August, 2015 through February, 2018 when she passed away. I am writing this because I was actively involved with both Don and Nina K. and other members of their staff over that long period of time. The first thing I want to do is to express my sincere thanks for providing us with Adrienne J., who was my Mom’s live in caregiver for the last 9 months of her life. She was a pleasure to have in our lives. The professionalism she showed throughout the 9 months along with her care and compassion was just remarkable. She not only did her job professionally but did it with understanding, kindness and more importantly compassion. All of the other caregivers we were provided were also wonderful caring people to my Mother. I truly believe by the end she loved my Mother and my Mother grew to know her and trust her in her care. The girls not only took care of her physical needs but also her psychological needs and emotional needs.
I cannot tell you what these people meant to to my Mother and to me.
I want to commend the company, Homewatch Caregivers, for the time they took to make sure there was always someone to back up and cover the care of my Mother. The company’s dedication and commitment to my Mother and to me was professional but I truly believe Mr. and Mrs. Kissinger were also caring and concerned for my Mother’s wellbeing. They went out of their way on weekends, holidays and other times to make sure coverage always occurred.
The last 7 months with Hospice could have been difficult but it was not. Homewatch’s staff interacted with Hospice and their care in an efficient and professional way that allowed for kind and seamless care up until the end.
I would not hesitate to recommend Homewatch Caregivers and their staff members to any other person. This review may be used to give to people who are interested in the services of Homewatch Caregivers.
I thank Homewatch for myself, my family and especially for my Mother. I close with the thought that my Mother had the best care she could possibly have had during this extended period of time right up to the moment of her death in her home where she always wanted to stay to the end.

Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
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.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
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.
