I can't begin to explain how amazing they are. With lots of patience and understanding Home Care Assistance helped my parents ease into the difficult transition to full time care. From the initial intake to finding the right fit of care providers they were kind and caring. Liz our care manager is the best!

I'm really happy with our caregivers. It is a relief knowing there are people helping my mom that really do care about her well being. When she was hospitalized for a month, they and Liz (care manager), were very nice to check on her progress at the hospital and call her to wish her well. The office is also very professional, yet friendly and flexible with personal requests, last minute needs, scheduling changes, etc. Also, Liz has been very helpful with answering my questions honestly with regards to my mom's care needs, how many hours are really necessary or reasonable, helping me navigate insurance issues, etc. I highly recommend them.

I don't drive, so they walk and do things that I can't do. They clean and help with the food. Depending on what I need, they help.

They have helped the most by helping with whatever I need. I get the help I need without questions, and she is always here on time. I like that they are there if you need them, and if you don't, they don't bother you with a lot of phone calls.

I don't have them two or three times a month. I have them so I can get out of the house. It goes just fine. They follow directions and explain what they did. The ladies have all been very caring. He seems happy when I come back.

They are very well trained and everybody I have used I feel comfortable with. They don't want to pry into your personal business. They know what they are doing. They are expensive, and that is the only thing that I have against them. It is a minimum of four hours, which is to much care for me. This place is very consistent there isn't a new person each time. My caregiver is excellent.

They take my mom to the gym and drive her places that she can't drive to. We've had to change care planners because they didn't communicate the best. They don't want to send caregivers out for a minimum of four hours, and we wanted consistency. They need to be forthcoming and specific.

They have been helping my husband. It lets me have a life. I think they need to train some of the caregivers better before they send them out.

This last crew is outstanding. The managers that comes to the house are very personable and ask a lot of questions. They are easy to talk to. They are good at finding the right fit. They can find out what the skills of the caregivers are and what the needs are of the family. Some of the caregivers don't have a car or know how to cook.

They could just provide more of the same care that they are doing. The services help her get ready to face the day everyday. The caregivers get her showered and dressed. I like that the agency has trained employees and are upfront with the costs of the care.

Some are helpful, and some aren't. They could send caregivers that adhere to the rules and the needs of the diet. I like that they have case managers and that they listen to my requests. I can email or text them and get an answer right away.

The effect has been very helpful on my daily life. Anna is here 5 days a week and she does an excellent job. I guess I would recommend them. I haven't had any physical therapy yet, but I am very pleased with the nurse.

I'd like them to listen to my loved one's specific needs so they don't have to micromanage. I would recommend them more if they had a more caregivers instead of a couple of diamonds in the rough.

The weekdays are good, but the weekends are bad for me. They need to find consistent caregivers to cover my weekend shifts. They need to improve their communication among the caregivers and the caregivers managers.

The caregivers need more training; I have had people come to my home who can't find tasks to do. If I don't tell them what to do, they won't do anything. I personally think the group in a different location was better. Here, I think the caregivers need more training.

The caregiver we have now has a bad back, so they're constantly complaining about their back hurting. They can have at least LVNs working for them. There are various degrees of knowledge of how to care for people. The caregiver I have now was never trained to take care of bed-bound people, so the people they've taken care of are mobile. This is the first person they've taken care of that's bedridden. The company made my loved one bed-bound because some of the caregivers before would transfer them over to a wheelchair when they could assist in transferring themselves. There's a technique to taking a person from a bed and swinging them over to a chair. Some of the caregivers seem to be properly trained, while others don't seem to know what they're doing. If they had better quality employees, then they could give more service to the clients. They could allow their caregivers to transfer bed-bound people to a chair or something like that. They've taken that away.

Almost of all the caregivers are good. We've only had one that's not that great, but the rest have been amazing. My loved one is being more active now; she was in her room almost all of the time but now she's moving around. She was a bit of a hoarder before but they're helping.

Day to day, I don't know what to expect from the workers. Some of the caregivers have an easier way, they're a little more understanding. I would recommend Home Care Assistance because they are reliable. Somebody's always here. The service hasn't helped me much. That could be my shortcoming or theirs. I feel like I've gone down. I think they're caring, but I don't know whose shortcoming it is.

Everyone from Home Care Assistance is quite good. The caregivers are all very willing to help me with what I needed done, and were almost all pleasant. They were very hands-on and would do things that I didn't ask them to do, like feed the dog. The services from Home Care Assistance helped make my life easier. They helped me shower, got my food, straightened up the kitchen. They did anything I needed help with, and they did very willingly.

Everything about Home Care Assistance was professional, our caregiver was great, and everything went as we has hoped and expected. We weren't really sure how everything was going to play out. We didn't need our caregiver to do much and she understood that. She had a very warm non-intrusive personality. She brought a great energy into the room.
