Our family worked with Rebecca Grim and HCA to arrange in-home care for my parents who are in their 90s. The experience was smooth and the results have been excellent. HCA listened and understood our needs and arranged first-rate care with outstanding caregivers. We are extremely pleased with the results and we strongly recommend HCA of Richmond to anyone seeking in-home care.

Needing home health care services was something I never really expected I would need, until my grandpa started to get older and lose his memory. Once he stopped driving we knew he would need help at home so that he didn't hurt himself or burn the house down. I called Home Care Assistance in Richmond and talked with Elaine. She was totally understanding and heard all of my concerns. Elaine was there for us in so many ways. She handled the care management side of things. If I ever had concerns, I just called her to give better direction to her staff. Elaine goes above and beyond the call of duty

My 84 year old mother had fallen resulting in a very badly sprained foot and ankle and shoulder. She could barely walk, couldn't dress or undress herself due to her shoulder, and was pretty much dependent on someone else to do most things. Becky Grim, the owner, has been involved since my original call for information. She has been wonderful. The home care workers she sent were caring, took care of my mom's needs, and were fabulous. They helped my mom get showered, dressed, they washed and dried the sheets and then changed the bed. They served her a meal each time they came, and they even cleaned

Home Care Assistance provides 24 hour live-in companions for my mother. Theyve been superb about ensuring 100% seamless coverage, even when emergencies have occurred. Home Care Assistance has been helping us out for over 8 months now, through some very trying times. Everyone is always looking out for my mother and the staff has gone above and beyond to find just the right people to work with her. I would rate their service an A+!"

A little over five years ago, my mother suffered a stroke and I was referred to Home Care Assistance of Richmond. Initially, they provided companion care for my mother during the day, seven days a week. As my mother's physical condition continued to worsen, I extended the care to 24 hours a day. I have been very pleased with Home Care for a number of reasons. One is continuity of care providers. My mother has the same two caregivers week in and week out. This has given me the opportunity to get to know the caregivers and establish a working relationship with them. They have become an integral part
