My caregiver has helped me the most by doing things that I can't do such as the dishes, the laundry, and making the bed. Making the bed is the hardest thing and I can't do that. She is awesome the whole way around and she is a great person, very friendly, and outgoing. I like that I have a really good person.

The caregivers need to be more attentive to their clients' needs. The agency can't take days off. That is ridiculous. We pay a lot of money and can't have people skipping.

Having someone who was there routinely and long-term. I wanted them to come Saturdays and Sundays so she did not have to get used to too many people. I would recommend them. I often had to call to find out who was actually on the schedule. They had difficulties getting it scheduled for that day or that weekend. I had to know ahead of time so I had to call them.

I couldn't survive without them. Without the care from their staff he would have to be in a nursing facility, out of his community and home. They have benefits for their employees, the care that they have given their patients and employees during the pandemic is good, they give bonus pay to the employees. I like that they have electronic health records.

They can screen their nurses better and train them better. One nurse showed up and spent most of the time trying to figure out how to put things into the computer. The biggest problem is their computer system. They have to get on my wireless network, which messes things up. They have no other way to make notes or clock in other than getting on my WiFi network.

I cannot be there, so they are able to be there in my place. For us, the biggest thing is the providers. I think ultimately, it leads down to them not being paid well, so they do not always stay with the company. I feel like they could have better retention of employees.

I do not have to stress about who will be taking care of the baby while I am at work or if they are capable or not. They enjoy being with me, so the nurses stick around. From the moment they took over, they have done their best to make sure every shift is covered. They have stepped into areas that I did not expect them to. They treat me like family, and I treat them like family.

There were times when the caregiver did what she was actually supposed to do and tried to engage mom, and those times did help us. Other times she really wouldn't do too much. It was different each time. The whole point was to free up some of my time. They need to speak with their employees about doing what their job description is. If you are there to sit and engage the client, you need to be doing that.

They just blended right in, except the physical therapist who was a little angry because my shoulder was out of place. She couldn't touch me. I think her name was Henrietta K. I had good service, so if a friend was looking into it, I would explain to them how much it cost. If they can afford it, I would say yes. I have one girl, Lacresia, who, even though she isn't working for me anymore, still comes by. We go shopping sometimes, and we became friends.

They have been very helpful overall. It's nice to have time to help my mother, which is hard for us to provide. As a family, we cannot do that for her every week. They should do better screening on the new hires. One of the caregivers was using my mom's debit card to buy extra groceries for herself.

They give her a bath, do her cleaning, and everything I need. They do everything I ask them to do. They could be a little more consistent. I can't leave my wife alone unless I have a caregiver with her, so that's the only time I have to do anything, is when they're here. I think they need to have more aides. I have a little difficulty getting the schedule I need.

They should have been on top of their stuff. I got criticized for not calling the office directly to complain about the services. They started off well for the first few weeks. After that, they became very lazy and were more concerned about playing on the computer and smart phones than doing the actual work. When they did the laundry, they left our clothes in the washer and dryer for two or three days before we realized that our clothes were missing.
