The 6 Best In-Home Care Agencies in St. Louis, Ranked

Every agency was checked the same way: its Google rating and review count from a September 12, 2026 pull, a name search of the Medicare home health file and the Missouri certified directory, and a dated read of its own website.

LB Home Health Caregivers

9813 Clayton Rd, St. Louis, MO 63124 · homehealthcarestlouis.com

5.0 Google · 40 reviews Highest rated of the six, 5.0 on 40 reviews Not scored

The only one of the six at a perfect 5.0. Its own website could not be read on 2026-09-12, so this card rests on the Google listing alone. The name says home health: ask directly whether a visit is non-medical home care or skilled home health before you book. That gap is why the file check matters.

Verification questions

How do I check whether a St. Louis in-home care agency is what it says it is?

Search the Missouri certified home health directory, Medicare's home health file and the Secretary of State business registry, then read the agency's own site. A non-medical agency will not appear in the first two; that blank is expected. See the walkthrough.

What is the difference between non-medical home care and home health?

Home health is skilled care such as nursing and therapy, the category Medicare stars cover. Non-medical care is personal care, companionship, homemaking and respite. Names blur the two, so read what the agency says it does. See two categories.

Is the agency registered as a business in Missouri?

Search its exact legal name in the Secretary of State business search and match it to your agreement. Registration is not a care licence.

Can I trust a Google rating and review count?

As a signal, not a verdict. Ours are copied exactly from the 2026-09-12 pull. Each office has its own listing and count.
