Maggie was an exceptional caretaker for my Mom. She was very responsible, caring and compassionate. If I needed someone to care for a family member of mine again, I would not hesitate to hire Maggie.

Shauna has been a true blessing for my family. Dad is well taken care of by her when one of us can't be there. Wish I could move her closer to my home. She was so prompt to answer all my messages, emails, texts, etc. and there were a lot. This was my first time using this service and she made me so relaxed and comfortable knowing my Dad was top on her list. I don't know what we would have done without her. Great background check, no reservations on using her again- actually hope to if we need to!

Persina takes care of my 84yr mom several times a week. She makes sure she's on track with her meals, meds and personal care. Our entire family has been relieved of worry and Mom gets to keep her independence. It doesn't give me room to list all the things Persina does for her - There are so many! Mom has a higher quality of life and wonderful companionship. We LOVE her!

FAQs for finding senior care

What type of elderly care services can I find on Care.com?

When it comes to creating a care plan for an elder loved one, there are different alternatives to explore depending on the wishes of the senior and their family, and the level of care needed. Some of the options are:

  • In-home senior care is a great option for seniors who want to stay at home and just need a companion for daily activities.
  • Nursing assistants can provide medical assistance for seniors in the comfort of their own home.
  • Dementia care is a suitable choice for elders with Alzheimer's or dementia who need specialized care at home.
  • Senior transportation is an option for finding caregivers who can drive your loved ones as needed for errands or doctor appointments.
  • Assisted living facilities are helpful when it's more convenient to move the senior person into a monitored residence where they can receive assistance with their daily activities and socialize with other residents.
  • Nursing homes can provide long-term medical and personal care for an elder loved one who can't be cared for at home.
    • How can I find an in-home senior care provider on Care.com?
    After creating an account, you will have the option to either post a job that can be seen by our large pool of senior caregivers, or you can also search caregivers from our platform, based on years of experience, hourly rate, availability, distance from your location, etc. After you have selected your candidates, you can schedule interviews, check references, request additional background checks, and hire the caregiver who best meets your needs.
    How much does in-home senior care cost?
    The average senior care rate charged by caregivers on Care.com as of April, 2020 is $13.50 per hour. This rate may vary depending on the services required when caring for the elderly at home. The hourly rate will also be impacted by your location, the caregiver's years of experience, level of education, and if they have any credentials or nursing degrees.
    What services are included for senior care at home?
    Besides companionship, most in-home caregivers for seniors can help with their daily activities, such as getting around the house safely, meal prep, light housekeeping, and medication reminders, as well as taking them for walks and driving them to medical appointments or errands. In addition to general home help for seniors, there are also caregivers who can assist with bathing, dressing, feeding, overnight watch, and dementia care.
