    Some caregivers are better at socializing with her than others. They have all been very helpful. They need to pay the caregivers better. I think that is the reason that they have such a high turnover.

    The agency has made sure that the people can do the duties. They are better now, than before. They are short on caregivers. We like our steady caregivers.

    As far as them coming to visit my mother, the way they interact with my mother is perfect. They love her. I like the person we got because they are qualified now, and all the caregivers should be qualified.

    The caretaker they gave us only showed up twice in a two-week period. Some of the caregivers they have sent us haven't taken care of my father.

    It depends on the caregiver because some of them are good and some were not good with her. So, interacting with my mother and having conversations with someone would make a greater impact. I have not had the consistency that I wanted. I am trying to get someone that my mom can get used to.

I would like to see them make sure that the care provider is qualified and properly trained. We have made a change within the last month and I'm happy with what we currently have.

    The client wouldn't be at this house if it wasn't for the agency. The caregivers have helped the most by caring. They actually seem to like their job and like to talk. That's the most important thing. They are hard workers. We have had different ones and they have all been hard workers. I like that they are efficient and hardworking.

    There was a lot of inconsistency with the call-outs, especially over holidays and over the weekends. I would have liked to be consistently notified about these cancellations. I liked that Denise was amazing, she has gone the extra mile for us at any time. She was an office person/coordinator. She did anything to make sure things worked out; she was very reliable. She was the reason I was worried about changing, I liked her attentiveness provided to my dad. I was very satisfied with the care.

    The first one lady was very nice but she had things that she said that she could not do. They could get somebody who comes when they are supposed to and listens to what you want and won't tell you what you need to do. I think that there caregivers need to be policed more and maybe pick better ones.

    My husband had a health crisis and I found myself with no one to help me. I called Care Advantage and within an hour and a half I had a caregiver in my home plus an assessment had been made and the nurse visited the same day. I have no words to express my gratitude the the quick staffing and for the quality of the care. The caregivers were professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. I couldn't ask for better care. I remain in their files and plan to call them whenever I need assistance with my husband's care. I highly recommend them.

If I have other things to do and I have to be gone, she will take care of them. They were doing good at first, but I am having problems getting someone to show up all the time. My regular caregiver started going to class two days a week, and someone may or may not show up.

    My mom has liked all the caregivers that have come out. One time, I was out of town and one of the caregivers acted as an intermediary for me at her doctor appointment and because of that, they helped figure out a health problem that she was having. The company is flexible and they always manage to find caregivers. Everyone they have sent has been wonderful.
