Three in-home care agencies serving Melbourne, AR hold an active Arkansas Private Care Agency license, as listed in the Arkansas Department of Health public roster dated June 16, 2026.

In-home care means non-medical help that lets an older adult keep living at home: bathing and dressing, meals, housekeeping, errands, medication reminders and company. It is usually paid for privately, with long-term care insurance, a Medicaid program or VA benefits, not by Medicare. Compare at least three agencies, and ask each whether caregivers are employees, how they are screened, who supervises them, the minimum hours and the hourly rate.
In Arkansas, the median rate for in-home care is $25 an hour, about $2,167 a month for 20 hours a week (CareScout 2025).
The 3 agencies on this list are based in 1 ZIP code; the busiest are 72556 (3 agencies). If Melbourne has too few choices for your needs, the closest other cities we list are Mountain View (3 agencies, about 18 miles away), Mountain Home (4 agencies, about 33 miles away) and Jonesboro (10 agencies, about 70 miles away).

Medicare rates home health agencies and hospices, so we rank those. There are no public quality ratings for non-medical in-home care, so these agencies are listed A-Z with their state license, and we do not rank or score them.
Most pay privately, by the hour. Long-term care insurance, Medicaid waivers and VA benefits can help with bathing help, meals, housekeeping or companionship.
The agency holds a license from the state health department. Licensing sets minimum standards and allows the state to inspect and act on complaints, but it does not rate how good the care is.
