The community of McLean, Virginia, is a suburb of Washington, D.C. This affluent community is rich in American history, especially as the general location for many battles of the Civil War. The Claude Moore Colonial Farm is especially popular for picnicking and delving into the history of the U.S. For seniors who wish for more cultural opportunities, access to the nation’s capital is readily available using the METRO public transportation system.
Many seniors like the community feel and opportunities for socialization that the Lewisville Senior Center provides. For those who enjoy serious shopping, or an indoor space for mall walking, Tyson’s Galleria is an exceptional destination. With one in five McLean residents aged 65 and older, the area is a popular home for retirees. Moderate temperatures and a variety of housing options, as well as proximity to excellent healthcare, make the McLean area a solid choice for seniors wishing to age in place.
McLean seniors may choose to spend their golden years in their own homes, surrounded by friends and family, and spending time in their familiar community. Home health care and home care services can help elders age in place and retain their independence. The cost of these, according to Genworth’s Cost of Care 2018 Survey, averages $22.50 per hour for homemaker assistance and $23.38 for home health care. This is higher than the national average for these services, at $21 and $22, respectively. For McLean seniors, the average monthly cost for home care services ranges from $4,290 to $4,458 per month.
Note: Home health care cost data was not available for McLean, so data for the closest city, Washington, D.C., was used here.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the McLean 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.

Other than some initial difficulties getting the schedule worked out the service has been absolutely fantastic. The Girswold office staff did an amazing job getting care for my mother-in-law lined up on what was very short notice. The care givers have been excellent as well and having them has enabled us to allow my mother-in-law to recover from major surgery in her own home instead of going to a rehab facility. Considering the current uncertainties centered around the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing an elderly patient to recover at home is a substantial advantage to both the family and the patient.

Home Instead has been helping us for about six months, every day. We really do not know how or even if we would be able to cope with our difficulties without Home Instead. The nurses who came to our house were competent, were extremely friendly, besides helping our physical needs were also a moral help. They always showed up on time. The sfaff of Home Instead also monitors our situation so as to ensure that the help they provide responds to our needs. They also efficiently take care of the paper work with our ensurance company. They are friendly and competent. If we ever made a good decision regarding our health care, it was when we decided to ask Home Instead to help us.

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!

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.
