Get Started!
How do you know it’s time to bring in help? For most Alexandria families, there is no single moment. It’s a stack of unopened mail, a parent who has quietly stopped driving to Old Town, a missed pill here and there. ComForCare exists for exactly that stage, when a family knows something has changed but isn’t sure what to do about it yet.
We provide in-home care for seniors across Alexandria, from Old Town to Belle Haven and the Mount Vernon corridor, built around what your loved one actually needs rather than a fixed package.

Most families are surprised by how much falls under home care. It isn’t just help with bathing and dressing. It includes:
Most families in Alexandria start with a few hours a week and add more as needs grow, rather than committing to a large plan up front.
For seniors who need help through the night, our 24-hour home care keeps caregivers working awake, rotating shifts, rather than one caregiver sleeping through part of the night the way a live-in arrangement works. That distinction matters most for seniors with dementia who wander, or anyone with a real fall risk after dark.
With hospitals close by, our transition of care team can move quickly once a discharge date is set. We prepare the home in advance, sort medications, and check for hazards before your loved one walks back through the door. That early attention is a big part of avoiding a repeat hospital visit.
If you are the one holding everything together for a parent, respite care gives you a real break: time to rest, travel, or just breathe, while your loved one stays with a trained caregiver. Families in Alexandria tend to wait too long before asking for this.
Our caregivers train through the DementiaWise® Certified Care Program, tested for results by Duke University. The approach is built on calm, predictable routines and gentle redirection, not correcting someone who is living with memory loss. We also run Joyful Memories, a music-based program that keeps seniors engaged as memory changes, and provide Alzheimer’s care alongside broader dementia care. Eligible families of people living with dementia may also qualify for the GUIDE Medicare benefit.
Caregivers are screened, trained, and insured before they ever step into an Alexandria home, and every one of them completes DementiaWise® training, not just the caregivers assigned to memory care cases. The agency is locally owned by Tazim Mawji, based in nearby Annandale, and care plans are reviewed and adjusted as your loved one’s needs change rather than staying fixed once they’re written.

“Tazim and her team are really great and I send them special thanks for providing truly excellent home care when I really needed it. I was at first reluctant to have someone in my home since I’m used to living independently. The home health aide they provided was exemplary in all ways: her skills, empathy, communication, attitude, and demeanor.”

What home care services do you offer in Alexandria?
Personal care, companion care, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation, respite care, dementia care, and 24-hour home care.
What is the difference between home care and home health care?
Home health care involves licensed clinical staff providing skilled medical services ordered by a doctor. Home care, which is what we provide, covers the everyday support most families actually need: bathing, meals, medication reminders, and companionship.
Does Medicare cover home care in Alexandria?
Traditional Medicare covers short-term skilled home health when a doctor orders it, but not ongoing non-medical care. Families typically use private pay, long-term care insurance, or veterans’ benefits. Eligible people living with dementia may also qualify through the GUIDE Medicare benefit.
Are your caregivers background-checked?
Yes. Every caregiver is screened, trained, and insured before being matched with a client.
How fast can care start?
Often within a day or two of your free in-home visit, sometimes sooner if a hospital discharge date is already set.
Can care change as my loved one needs to change their care plan or hours?
Yes. We review the plan regularly and adjust hours, services, and caregiver skills as things shift.
Which neighborhoods do you serve in Alexandria?
Old Town, Belle Haven, Fort Hunt, Rose Hill, Jefferson Manor, and the Mount Vernon corridor.
Each office is independently owned and operated and is an equal opportunity employer.
