Why families choose Reliable Aid

With the most older adults of any Delaware county, New Castle has plenty of agencies to choose from. Here's what sets Reliable Aid apart: we're Black-owned and family-run, rated 4.9 stars on Google with more reviews than any other in-home care agency in the state, and we stand behind our care: background-checked caregivers, insurance and bonding, and a backup when someone's out. We work with Delaware Medicaid's long-term care program and all three of its plans. How Medicaid home care works.
