Compassionate In-Home Care in Arlington County, VA
Supporting seniors and adults with disabilities so they can live safely and comfortably at home in Arlington.
About
Butterfly Home Care was started by a caregiver who understood how hard it is to balance real life, complex needs, and the desire to stay at home. Today, our Arlington County team walks alongside older adults, people with disabilities, and families who are doing their best in a busy, fast-moving area.
Many of the families we serve are juggling work in D.C. or the Pentagon, Metro rides, school schedules, and crowded apartment or condo living. We provide in-home care, disability support, and autism services that fit into the way Arlington actually works.
In Arlington County, we often support clients after visits to VHC Health (Virginia Hospital Center), local clinics, and community programs that serve seniors and neurodiverse adults. Our goal is steady, respectful care at home so your loved one can stay where they feel secure.
Your Trusted Partner for In-Home Care in Arlington
Bringing someone into your home is personal. You need more than a warm smile—you need reliability, respect, and follow-through.
At Butterfly Home Care - Arlington County, we begin by listening. We ask about your loved one’s routines, what helps, what triggers stress, and what a good day looks like. Then we design care that fits your space, your building rules, your schedule, and your family’s comfort level.
Our caregivers are local to Arlington. They understand high-rise living, tight parking, Metro timing, and the pressure of long workdays. Whether you need a few afternoons of help, evening support after work, or ongoing full-time care, we’ll help you build a plan that feels realistic and sustainable.
At Butterfly Home Care – Arlington County, we understand the unique needs of families seeking reliable, compassionate support at home. Our team embraces the same caregiver-centered values established by founder Becky Wang, delivering professional, purpose-driven care that puts dignity, independence, and personal connection first.
Our mission is simple: to provide honest, reliable in-home care that helps your loved one maintain independence, stay safe, and feel connected to the community they call home.
