What people are saying

  • Commonwise was everything we could have hoped for during a very difficult time. We had a tight window to get a loved one out of a nursing home and back home. Commonwise made every effort to arrange coverage within 24 hours, and made it happen. And the caregivers were exceptional. They advertise a higher quality of care, and in our experience that's certainly true. Can't recommend Commonwise highly enough!

  • My wife developed dementia in early 2020 just as the Covid-19 virus started to spread. I saw to her needs for the next two years, but as her dementia worsened, it became necessary for me to find a caregiver organization that would be able to help me. I tried one local organization that had just bought a franchise in my area and that did not work out very well. I turned to my nephew who had contracted with Commonwise in the Charlottesville area to help care for his father. He strongly recommended Commonwise. I contacted them and they provided outstanding home care over the next several months until it became necessary for my wife to be cared for 24/7. Commonwise personnel were always courteous and efficient and I recommend them without any reservations.

  • I screened several personal home care agencies for my father-in-law, and it was evident immediately that Commonwise Home Care was of a much higher caliber than the rest of the agencies. I work as a home care physical therapist and have observed many personal attendants in my 21-year career. Commonwise guided me through the process of gently convincing my in-laws that care at home was necessary to allow my father-in-law to pass away at home peacefully. My in-laws loved all the caregivers assigned to us. The care was superb and worth the slightly higher hourly cost, and the staff had a much higher emotional intelligence than other groups. I would not look any further than Commonwise.
