Besides the people in the office, it is pretty good. They could improve on communication the caregiver was taking a few days off and they never communicated to my mom who was going to be there.

I can't do much for myself but my caregiver helps me. I ask my caregiver to do something and she does it.

They do mostly everything that they are supposed to do. I'd like to have them call me when no one is going to show up for the day. They don't always do that.

My caregivers have helped me the most by coming to the house and providing services. My caregivers have helped by being a good companion. I like that they selected a person who was a good match to look after me.

It is making me feel better every day and even with my pain there is less for me to do. I've liked that I get good meals and a lot of chores done.

Someone is there taking care of the client, giving her the proper care. I'm relatively happy about it. I'm 140 miles away and I'm not there to see what happens on a daily basis. They could probably improve with getting there on time.

The care is really something that she needs and the impact is great. They need to do a better screening of their caregivers to know their experience.

If you get it the way it's supposed to be, it's good. It's not happening well for me though. There is a situation that is going on that I'm not happy with. Their care needs to be upgraded as far as I'm concerned.

The younger caregivers need to have a better understanding when they go to people's homes, because they are as dumb as a bag of rocks. They try to get me caregivers and what I need. I like that.

Having someone there during the daytime helps me because I get sleep in the morning. I think that they need to assess their patients before they send someone out to help them. My mom is plus sized and the aides couldn't help her.

They are good and very caring people. When they call and check in, it makes me feel that they really care. They are a good company and it seems like they care more than other companies. They take good care of my mom.

She has the right caregivers in place. They help with laundry, bathing, and meal preparations. They take a lot of the work off of my plate. Lois is in need of part-time care assistance. Initially there was a high turnover of caregivers, but that seems to have straightened out now. Some others might find that unpleasant and might leave the agency, but now things have improved.

Frankly, it's complicated. She was a neighbor who lived above us. My wife was in bed and needed help. This gal was doing the kind of help we needed, and I asked if she wanted the job and she said yes. She cared for her until she died. Then I asked her if she wanted to help me. She said yes, and we get along fine. I had a lot of trouble with them providing the kind of people I need for what my need is, and they couldn't do it. Quite frankly, I only use them on Saturdays. I get care from the VA and from the county. I use another agency for the VA time. (Possible discharge survey.)

Relative Care went above and beyond. Relative Care made it easier on us because we did not have to take care of my grandfather so much and we did not worry about him all of the time.

I like Relative Care, but I do not like the people that they send to my house. The caregivers say they feel uncomfortable with me. Relative Care is very considerate, and they are there for me. I cannot get into my bathtub by myself.

Relative Care has a great owner. She is very personable and she cares about the people that she's trying to place aides with. Relative Care helps me get around. I had a hip operation and I didn't think I would need help, but I was wrong.
