Who We Are
Briggs Home Health Agency is a family-owned company. We opened our doors a little more than 5 years ago and have since become one of the fastest growing home health care agencies in the State of Virginia. With over 20 years of experience caring for the elderly and individuals with special needs, the company’s founder recognized there was a strong need in the Virginia area to provide home health care assistance to a population that has long been underserved and overlooked. Briggs Home Health Agency strives to provide the best possible service by hiring caring, hard-working, loving individuals who have the same passion, desire and understanding as its owners.
