Personalized in-home care that fits your needs.
Home health care gives individuals the support they need to remain safe, comfortable, and as independent as possible in their own homes. At Agatha Home Health Care, care is based on the individual, with services that can range from help with everyday routines and personal needs to companionship, ongoing caregiver support, and skilled nursing care.
Every person’s situation is different. Some clients may need a helping hand for part of the day, while others require more consistent assistance or clinical care at home. Our team works with clients and their families to identify the appropriate level of home care support and connect them with services that fit their health, daily living, and personal needs.
We know that patients have better outcomes at home. Choosing between companion care and live-in care depends on whether you require an in-home health aide for several hours a day or a live-in caregiver for 24/7 care.
Our care plans have the flexibility to scale up or down so clients can stay in the comfort of their home while receiving the personalized attention they need. By matching the right level of care to individual needs, we help clients with their daily routines so they feel safe and comfortable at home in the greater Washington Metro area.
Seniors who live alone, especially after the death of a spouse, often experience cognitive and physical decline. A home health aide is like a trusted friend who keeps the client company through regular social interaction, shared meals, conversations, and hobby activities.
Caregivers help manage everyday household tasks such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, errands, and other routines. By taking care of essential responsibilities, clients conserve their time and energy for the people, activities, and moments they enjoy most while living comfortably at home.
For individuals who need regular oversight, caregivers provide attentive supervision and safety monitoring throughout the day. This can be especially helpful for clients with mobility limitations, memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease, or dementia who may be at risk of falls, missed medications, or wandering.
Caregivers provide respectful, hands-on help with personal routines such as bathing, dressing, grooming, hygiene, and mobility. This extra support can make everyday activities safer and more manageable while helping clients preserve their dignity, comfort, and independence at home.
Care that fits your needs, your routine, and your home.

Consistent care and support in the comfort of home.
For someone who needs ongoing help throughout the day, live-in care can make staying at home a safer and more comfortable option. Agatha Home Health connects clients with a live-in caregiver who can provide dependable assistance with personal care, daily routines, medication management, light housekeeping, meals, mobility, companionship, and other everyday needs.
Just as important, live-in home care provides consistency. Having a familiar caregiver in the home means clients have someone who gets to know their routines, preferences, abilities, and changing needs. Families also gain the reassurance of knowing their loved one has regular support without having to leave the home and community they know.
The level of assistance can change with the client. Agatha Home Health offers live-in home care services based on each person’s circumstances.
Meaningful connection and everyday support at home.
Living independently does not mean doing everything alone. Companion care provides social connection and practical day-to-day support for seniors and other adults who may benefit from having a dependable caregiver regularly present in the home.
Companion care services can include conversation and shared activities, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands and outings, cognitive activities, and help with everyday routines. Beyond completing tasks, companion caregivers provide regular interaction that can make days at home feel more active, connected, and enjoyable.
Companion care can be a good option for someone who is largely independent but could use additional help or company throughout the week.
Private duty nursing provides one-on-one medical support at home for individuals recovering from surgery or illness, managing chronic conditions, or requiring ongoing skilled nursing care. Agatha Home Health’s registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) provide care based on each client’s individual medical needs.
In-home nursing care may include medication administration, respiratory treatments, oxygen management, feeding tube care, health assessments, and other clinical support, helping clients receive a higher level of care while remaining comfortable at home.
Caring for someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease often requires additional patience, consistency, and attention to safety. Agatha Home Health provides specialized dementia and Alzheimer’s care at home, helping individuals remain in familiar surroundings while receiving support with daily routines, personal care, companionship, and supervision.
Our trained caregivers provide memory care based on each individual’s needs while also giving families dependable support with the demands of daily caregiving. Services may include:
We’re here to help you stay there.
