We really appreciate the care, professionalism, and extraordinary kindness everyone associated with the Smith Life community repeatedly demonstrates.

Steven L., Rockville, MD

SmithLife Homecare was a great help to me when I needed to get my 84-year old mom to and from a doctor appointment. All the team members were super-responsive, extremely helpful and reassuring. The employee who actually picked up my mom and drove her was prompt, warm and friendly, and made my mom feel completely at ease. It was a great service, and I'll definitely be using them again.

Andrew L.

Their care and service went far beyond the requirements of the job, and we consider all of them to be family.

Jerry S., Washington, D.C.

My mother has had wonderful caregivers provided by SmithLife Homecare. The office is extremely responsive (within hours) when my mom got sick and needed an aide. It is wonderful to be able to get help quickly, when and only when needed.

Linda H.

Wonderful experience! My father received excellent care and my family and I received incredible personal service. Everyone was warm, knowledgeable and easy to work with during a difficult time.

Beth H.

We worked with SLHC to set up care for my mother when she came home from the hospital and a rehabilitation center after a fall. The care needed to be set up very quickly, and SLHC handled this beautifully.

Dana H.

Committed and excellent health aids

Jeffrey C.

SmithLife Homecare provided excellent support from scheduling to appointment pick-up. Staff were courteous, caring, and compassionate - the three "C's" that one would expect when caring for a loved one. This organization is highly recommended and their culture is excellent!

Mark X.

Thank you for the magical help you provided to my Hebrew Home client on Christmas Eve.

Susan L., Geriatric Care Manager

Just as valuable to me as her nursing skills was her ability to provide me with companionship during my recovery.

Claire G., Bethesda, MD

We had an older family member coming in town for a wedding and worked with SmithLife to make sure she had a professional caregiver for several days while in the area. From initial contact through my family member's departure from DC, our experience with SmithLife was top notch.

Derek M.

Their motto seems to be ‘we're here for you’ and she truly lives that philosophy every day.

Curtis L., Rockville, MD

I would highly recommend SmithLife care for anyone looking for additional support for loved ones. The staff is incredible and worked with us to find the right amount of care and was also flexible when making changes. They consistently check in on how things are going and make sure everything is going well. The care providers were incredibly kind and willing to do anything that was asked of them. Couldn't have been happier with our decision to go with SmithLife Homecare.

Seth F.

My 95-year-old mother had to leave her home of 67 years & moved to the Ring House. We set her up with a Smith Life aide & the experience was excellent. She loves all the aides and feels safe & protected. This is a huge life change & we couldn't have dealt with everything without these ladies.

Eileen C.

The caregivers at SmithLife Homecare have been consistently friendly and helpful to my relative, and the staff has also been professional and helpful to me as we figured out the right level of care together.

Our Award-Winning Approach

SmithLife Homecare is proud to enable many seniors to preserve their independence for longer than may have been possible otherwise. We recognize that every patient is an individual, and therefore, we have developed a unique approach to caring. At the start of your service, we assign you to a Client Liaison, who acts as an extension of you within our team to advocate, administer, and consistently refine your service towards perfection. With guidance of your liaison, our team guides your aides help ensure the highest quality of care.

Independence for Seniors

Helping loved ones maintain dignity and independence as they age-in-place can be a delicate balancing act. While your elderly relatives may increasingly need help to complete day-to-day tasks, they might still want to live alone. In fact, having the opportunity to do so is of crucial importance to many older adults.

In-home senior care/elder care is a fantastic option in such cases. Our senior care services can provide vital assistance and support to the elderly and vulnerable, enabling them to maintain an independent life at home. By working with SmithLife Homecare, you can ensure that your loved one receives the support they need to maintain their independence while remaining at home.

We offer a wide range of services, including assistance with personal care, mobility, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and transportation. Our aides also provide companionship and emotional support, which can be particularly important for seniors who may feel isolated or lonely. Let our dedicated aides ensure your loved ones receive the emotional support and companionship they need to thrive as they age in place.

Our specialists work as part of a care team to help your loved one maintain their sense of autonomy and control over their life, instead of being forced to move into a nursing home or assisted living facility. Let us help your loved one continue living in the familiar surroundings of their own home, with the added support of a caring and compassionate caregiver.

Our Expertise

Our partnership with Charles E. Smith Life Communities means we also have vast access to resources throughout our community, as well as expertise in geriatrics.

We Believe

Expectations are meant to be exceeded.

For nearly two decades, SmithLife Homecare has been like family for our clients in and around the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Our caregivers aren’t simply providing services—they are making connections.
