Home Care for Seniors in Vienna

The small town of Vienna, which is located just 17 miles from Washington D.C. has a senior community that accounts for nearly 14% of the population. It was listed by CNN Money Magazine in 2013 on its Best Places to Live list for its high walkability, unique stores and local eateries. The city is home to the Patrick Henry Library, which has a collection of roughly 95,000 volumes. and hosts a variety of programs and events throughout the year, including adult summer reading programs, author talks and musical guests.     

In Vienna, seniors who need assistance with the activities of daily living but desire to remain in their home may receive home care services. According to Genworth's 2018 Cost of Care report, home care, including homemaker and home health aide services, are a little pricier in the Vienna region than in the nation as a whole. On average, homemaker services cost $22.50 per hour and home health aide services cost $23.38 per hour, compared to the respective national hourly rates of $21.00 and $22.00. 

Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Vienna, so data for the closest city, Washington D.C., was used.
