Newington is a built-up town on the edge of Virginia’s old growth forests, just south of Alexandria and a short bicycle ride from the Potomac River. Seniors in Newington can be found on the world-class Fort Belvoir Golf Club to the east of town, while others take advantage of the open fishing areas on Dogue Creek, which is north of the golf course.
Over 10.5% of Newington’s 13,000 residents are seniors aged 65 and over, and there’s no end to the local services and attractions for them to visit. Arlington National Cemetery is a short hop north of town, where over three million visitors a year pay respects to the 400,000 interred there. Multiple Civil War battlefields, including Manassas, are similarly close by and accessible to seniors.
Seniors in Newington can find homemaker services to make living at home more comfortable for an average cost of $4,004 a month, which works out to $20.75 an hour. Home health aides in Newington charge an average of $4,242 a month in Newington, or $20.95 an hour. This is close to the national averages for similar services. Across the nation, seniors pay an average of $4,004 a month for homemaker services and $4,195 a month for home health aides. These prices average $21 and $22 an hour, respectively, according to the 2018 Genworth Cost of Care Survey.
Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Newington, so data for the closest city, Baltimore, MD, was used.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Newington 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.

I worked with Comfort Keepers for my mother for over a year. We had a hands-down excellent experience with them. We hired them as in-home care from 11 a.m. until after dinner. The caregiver would come in at 11, prepare lunch for my mom, do light housework and entertain her. They were just wonderful and they were sweet to her. They took care of the medical appointment she had, they managed her medication, and they made dinner for her. They stayed with her through dinner and put the breakfast in the refrigerator for her so that when she wakes up in the morning, she could get into the kitchen and make herself a cup of coffee and have a little breakfast. It worked out beautifully for quite awhile until her health started failing. That’s what Jennifer, our caregiver, provided for us when we were using her through Comfort Keepers. She really was eyes and ears for the family because none of her children live in the Virginia area. We really needed someone to organize everything. She watched the house, she watched the mails, she watched the meds, she watched my mother, she took care of grocery shopping, she did all of her driving for her and took her everywhere. She was a lifesaver. In terms with working the administration, they were very good, too. We went through 3 or 4 different women before we landed on Jennifer, but they worked really hard to find the right kind of match for my mom and made sure that the caregiver was what my mother was comfortable with. She became part of the family over the course of the year.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Horizon Health Care Services and the tenderness and professionalism they have shown toward my mother. Last year my mother began declining mentally and physically, suffering from dementia, incontinence, and a host of other challenges our family has watched her deal with. Her caregivers at Horizon have given her the very best care treating her as if she were their own mother, respecting her and giving her dignity and giving us peace knowing she is in excellent hands. They arrive on time and care for her daily needs and medical needs. I receive prompt call backs from management to discuss her changing needs, and they quickly accommodate our requests.
