America’s Top-Rated Home Care Agencies This Year

For seniors in the U.S. today who say they’d prefer to remain in their own home during their golden years, the choice can mean more independence, not to mention the familiarity and comfort of a beloved abode. However, the realities of aging (declining mobility, difficulty seeing and hearing, or complications from illnesses) can also make aging-in-place increasingly difficult over time. Elderly adults may need some help with the essential activities of everyday life, such as preparing meals, getting dressed, safely getting around the home, taking their medication or going to doctor’s appointments.
When their needs are too great for them or their loved ones to manage on their own, or for those without anyone nearby to help out, finding the right in-home care agency can be life-changing — making all the difference in an elderly person’s ability to remain at home with a high quality of life. Older adults living in senior living communities can also benefit from supplemental care via in-home care agencies.
To support seniors and their families in finding the best agencies, we are shining a spotlight on the top-rated in-home care agencies in the nation — the Caring Stars of 2020. These trusted home care agencies received this award based on reviews from consumers across the U.S.
We also rated the top senior living communities: See the Caring Stars of 2020 in Senior Living.
