About This Community

    The first week was pretty good but then after that it was not good and I didn't need them anymore. The first caregiver came and made me food for each meal, made my bed, and helped me get dressed. The people that came at night were not very helpful. I had one that I really liked and then they pulled her and gave me different caregivers after that. I had another caregiver that would just sit and watch TV with me. The one that was great would ask what she could do for me and do stuff instead of sitting around.

    The caregivers will provide her with meals. They are doing their best to keep my mom social. This agency tries hard to do the best for our family. The nurses are exemplary, they actually care about here. The care they provide depends on the client's personality.

    We really like the lady we send us. We don't want to lose her. They cover a large area of care. We like the people they sent us. It would be nicer to have someone come 20 hours a week instead of 40. That could potentially lead us to not using them anymore.

    We met with Anette who's a supervisor from Westchester Family Care, Inc. when my mom was still at the rehab center. She took a detailed history, did an evaluation of my mother, and what we thought the needs would be. She went to the house, did another evaluation, she set her up with an aide whom my mother adored, and it was a fantastic match. The caregiver is very caring, extremely reliable, communicates very well, and it was so far a great experience. Billing is easy, I get the bills for my mom, but it's automatically billed to her credit card.

    Normally my loved one lives in his own home and he refused a lot of aides. We finally found this one that he is happy with. It is easier for me because I live in Connecticut and he lives in New York, so I would have to go there everyday. They are very amicable if things need to be changed and the aide that helps my loved one is unbelievable. My loved one is 91, so they are not easy to work with.

    So far with Westchester Family Care, everything has been great. There was a time that a caregiver was not able to come, so the owner even came to take there place, and then even the next caregiver could not come and they stayed. I was so impressed with the way that things were handled as I do not know of many people that would do that. Westchester Family Care sends caregivers that know what they are doing before they come to the home. The caregivers that I am sent from Westchester Family Care are highly rated.
