Home Care for Seniors in Nokesville, VA

Nokesville is a small, rural community in the hilly dairy farm country southwest of Manassas. Union and Confederate troops passed through Nokesville several times during the Civil War, and seniors out for a walk in the nearby woods of Lehigh Portland Park are likely to come across more than a few markers commemorating the events of 1861-65. On the other side of town, across the water from the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course, seniors can spend a pleasant afternoon learning goat yoga at the Little Goat Farm by the Lake, where baby goats perch on the arms and legs of participants as they hold yoga poses. Seniors with visiting grandchildren can also book time at the farm's petting zoo.

Summers in the countryside south of Manassas get up to an average daily high of 89 degrees, inviting senior outings and picnics on the shore of Lake Manassas. Winter lows average 24 degrees overnight in January, which makes the same lake great for low-impact ice skating. Seniors who enjoy the outdoors are relatively safe, as even the most densely populated areas north of Nokesville have crime rates 40% lower than the national average.

Seniors in Nokesville pay an average of $3,813 a month for both homemaker and home health aide services, according to the 2018 Genworth Cost of Care Survey. Nationally, costs for these services average $4,004 and $4,195 a month, respectively.
