Home Care Services in Fairfax, VA

Companionship

Leaving home to interact with the public can be daunting, even with assistance. But, social interaction is critical to keep seniors from becoming reclusive, isolated, or even depressed.

Seniors living in Fairfax, VA might want to take in fresh air and beautiful landscapes at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens or Great Falls Park. Wolf Trap National Park offers the best of both worlds – the wonder of a National Park with the excitement of live entertainment.

Georgetown Home Care’s companionship services can help your loved one get out and about to local destinations, safely and comfortably.

Activities can include:

• General conversation
• Playing cards or games
• Watching TV or movies
• Exercising
• Reading out loud
• Listening to music
• Sitting together quietly on a patio or yard

This is considered a “hands-free” service, meaning our caregivers do not initiate touch. However, they will gladly provide physical support when needed. This could include helping to stand up from a chair, offering a steadying hand, or giving a comforting hug when requested. Anything beyond that, however, is considered part of our personal care service offerings.

Personal Care

Our personal care services aim to support seniors in Fairfax who are living alone in their homes. We tailor our care to each client’s specific needs and circumstances.

Our personal care services for seniors include:

• Help with daily activities like bathing and dressing
• Medication reminders and health monitoring
• Consistent companionship to reduce isolation
• Housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation

Additionally, our experienced caregivers are knowledgeable about local senior resources. We want to help seniors maintain independence and quality of life as they age in place, connecting them with their community while also providing quality in-home care.

Errands and Transportation 

Research highlights that regular engagement with community activities significantly boosts seniors’ mental and emotional health. Whether it’s a stop at Fairfax Corner to shop or grab lunch, or explore one of the county’s historical treasures like Mount Vernon, keeping your loved one socially and physically active is a priority. We’re committed to fostering opportunities for your senior loved one to stay connected with their surroundings and enjoy meaningful interactions.

While not stand-alone services, errand running and transportation assistance can be combined with personal or respite care services. Using Uber Health (or the patient or caregiver’s vehicle if that is agreed upon), our caregivers can accompany seniors out and about town to:

• Run errands
• Grocery shop
• Pick up and fill prescriptions
• Handle dry cleaning
• Attend family and social events
• Maintain medical, health, and beauty appointments
• Attend a movie or theater performance
• Dine out at their favorite restaurants
• Attend religious services
• Answer phones
• A short trip to one of the many wheelchair and walker-accessible area parks, like Huntley Meadows Park, to benefit overall health and well-being

Respite Care

Sometimes, primary caregivers need time to recharge. That’s where our respite care services come in. Whether you need support for a few hours, a full day, or even around-the-clock coverage, we’re here to provide flexible care options. Enjoy a weekend getaway or a longer vacation, knowing your loved one is in capable and compassionate hands.

Respite care services are highly recommended to prevent primary caregiver burnout, keep the senior’s schedule intact, and allow the senior to:

• Maintain their appointments
• Attend family functions
• Enjoy social time with friends or family
• Take advantage of self-care
• Go on a walk, hike, or to an exercise class
• Take a vacation
• Non-Senior Home Care (Adult Day Care)

We also provide in-home, non-senior home care for adults with disabilities or mobility issues that inhibit them from completing daily tasks without assistance. This service includes all of the services listed above.

Our in-home care services also extend to non-senior adults who are recovering post-surgery, offering them the support they need at home during their first days, weeks, or months of rehabilitation.

*Please note that the majority of our services require a 4-hour minimum.

★★★★★

“We started with the minimum hours per week, and I saw how my sister thrived with this stellar home care and companionship. When her condition began to deteriorate, we increased care hours to five days a week, and her caregiver was responsive and essential not only to my sister’s increasing needs, but to my own ease in knowing she was well taken care of.”
