The 10 Best Home Health Agencies for Seniors in Philadelphia, PA for 2025

COMMITTED TO OUR COMMUNITY " Between 1989 and 1990, my family experienced a desperate need for home health care. With my recently widowed sister suddenly diagnosed with terminal cancer at age 39, my wife and I took her and her two sons into our home. At about the same time, our own son, Ryan, was born with serious health problems. Through this heart-wrenching time, we were constantly looking for consistent home health care for both my sister and our son. We found it difficult to find qualified and committed caregivers who could tend to our family's needs. Our personal story did not have a happy ending; my sister and son passed away within months of each other. But it was this experience that made me realize the importance of obtaining quality home health care. In 1993, I put my other business interests aside and focused my energy on a home health care agency that provided both companion and medical nursing care in my home state of New Jersey. I set out to create a concept that would provide the highest degree of care and better service for those in need of home health care. Now Preferred is providing greatly needed care to families in your community. Preferred looks forward to serving all of your home health care needs with our experienced and qualified caregivers.

"I hired AmeriBest to take care of my mother and have been continually impressed with their service and staff since the beginning. I highly reccomend them!"

"We did use the services of Wissahickon Hospice when my dad was still alive, and they were wonderful. They have a health aide who comes out three days a week and also an RN twice a week. They give him baths and also provide medications for him. They also have a spiritual advisor who comes out and meets with him. They also made contact with the doctor when his blood pressure was very low. They were very, very thorough as far as working with my dad. "

"Bayada Home Health is very good and has in-home physical therapy, occupational therapy, and a visiting physician. Mom has two CNAs. The caregivers are very good. We don't have any problems at all. The agency is very good overall. "

"I have been a nurse for more than 30 years. In 2000 after several years of unexplained symptoms that were random and not reproducable or predictable I finally recieved a diagnosis. I have MS. Of all the many things I had thought might be going on this was over the line... that "thin white line" the one that runs between the 'them' and the 'us'. I'm pretty tough. I can face down any battle and win it. I had survived the Traumatic Brain Injury sustained by my 3 year old son and kicked tail to have him recieve the best treatment and educatin so that the child who had a gear shift go through his head was by this time a high school graduate, living in the community (with supports) and working a job - none of this could be done by the weak. I pushed to teach others to reach for the stars for their children - I became an advocate to use the things I had learned about the law and education and medical needs and accomodations for disabilities. I have a 100% win record! But facing MS was different - I wasn't going to beat this one - I could fight it, but the more I fought, the more exhausted I became. I have had several experiences with various aspects of Southeastern Home Health Agency. After hospitalizations on several occaisions I was in need of Nursing Care, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and IV home infusion care. I talked to others with MS about who they used, and several used this agency. I figured 'why not' even though I had worked for a competitor back a while ago. Now mind you both my husband and I are nurses. We figured if there was a problem, we would just switch! Initially I needed help with bathing and therapy for strengthening without wearing myself out, OT to help me measure my limits. After 30 + years I wasn't certain there was too much they could tell me! I pride myself in always having been a darn good nurse. I took the time to care for my patients with dignity and respect regardless of the setting and I've had the pleasure of just about every setting out there! When the first nurse came out to do the intake, we spent a lot of time talking about my skills, what I had lost, what I had regained, what goals I wanted to set for myself and what things really didn't matter to me at all. Several years later I am still recieving services from Southeastern. My needs have changed, my MS has progressed, we lost our home to foreclosure so we had to move. My nurses have changed, my therapists changed, but one thing has never changed - at NO time was I ever made to feel like..... a patient! I feel like a friend, a family member - we've laughed and yes, cried. We've argued...well more like bargained lovingly when I was deciding to be non-compliant - but never have I been pushed beyond a limit that I could set and change at whim (especially when having steroid infusions at home!) because I have, over the several years, been exposed to a wide variety of Southeastern staff I can only assume that it is the company itself which draws a special team together - this many awesome folks, from so many different walks of life would not end up on the same teams if it wasn't for the leadership of the direct care staff. I have worked administration - I KNOW how hard it is to find and keep a good team. Southeastern has done just that - and it's not just my teams - its the teams of others who use their service - it's the looks on the faces of the other folks in our group who DON'T use them.... these things tell me Southeastern is special. It also tells me that this is where I will recieve my services, regardless of what they are through to the end of my journey.......... "

"I have another service that we use a lot for my mother - The Millennium Home Health. They are incredibly wonderful. The nurse is incredible. First of all, she is on the ball, and she knows her stuff. She talks in layman's language, and she doesn't beat around the bush. When you're in this situation, you want somebody who is going to be candid and tell you the truth. "

"My mother was at keystone for the last month of her life. The staff and volunteers were amazing. They were all so helpful and kind to my mother and our family. "

"A neighbor recommended Helping Hands Home Health Services to us. When we availed their services, the staff assessed our home and spoke to me and my mother. They wanted to know what my mom was able to do for herself, what specific things she might need to continue living at home. I felt it was very thorough and everyone we spoke with was very kind and understanding. They checked on my mom's medication making sure that she takes her medicines and her pill box is filled. They also help her with bathing. Everything is going very smoothly. "
