Description
About This Community
Franklin, Virginia, offers small-town living at its finest. Originally a railroad stop along the Blackwater River, Franklin today is the manufacturing and agricultural powerhouse of Southampton County. The city’s can-do Main Street spirit helped residents survive the big flood of 1999, and continue to enjoy area historic homes, a military heritage and the best Oktoberfest celebration in the state, so it’s no wonder locals want to age in their homes here.
We’re proud to offer Franklin and Southampton residents in-home care services ranging from CNAs and PCAs to skilled nurses who can provide a full gamut of medical support. Our advantage is that we offer flexibility and custom services to meet your needs, whatever they are.

They need to send caregivers on time.
I've had three different times when no caregiver showed up.

When they come, they need to know what their job assignment is. They need to study the assignment.
They need to know what they are suppose to do. They need to be well aware of the customer, the customer's needs, and everything before they come in there.

They get me in and out of the bed.
I like the help that I receive. The caregivers are on time. They are very accommodating in doing what I need to get done.

They would have big arguments and it did not work. They should not send someone unprofessional.
The agency should improve the services, it was terrible.
BEVERLY J
The caregiver was on time.
It is a large company.

Care Advantage sent over an awesome nurse. She was very professional and was there for every step and need of my mom. She was never on her phone and was unbelievably awesome.
Care Advantage was very attentive to my mom's needs. Anything that we ask that she needed, they made sure she received it.

Only one caregiver was good but the rest of them were bad and didn't help out when they were supposed to.
The caregivers didn't do their job correctly, they didn't help like they were supposed to.

My caregiver helps me bathe, make my bed, and keep things clean.
So far, they are excellent.

I had cancer and both my hips were replaced so I couldn't do anything for myself but they can.
They have really good workers.

They provided great care for my husband. They positioned him in positions he needed to be in. That was very beneficial with the pain he was in.
I would recommend them to anyone! They were very efficient and provided great care. They were thoughtful and helpful.

He needed quite a bit of care that I couldn't do. They made it so I had an easier life.
I liked the fact that we had the same caregivers each time they came out.

There is nothing else anyone can do. We are just dealing with the current situation.

Depends on the caregiver. Some are better caregivers that others. Its also hard when they send me someone brand new and I have to train them. I need them to send me already trained caregivers. I feel like I have to do all the work, may as well not even have them.
They could work the billing. They always over bill me.
WILLIAM M_3

They have just answered any questions that we have. They make sure there is a nurse always there for him.
The nurses are really nice.

The agency is helpful by allowing me to know we are receiving the best quality of care and they are interested in my care.
I like that they are responsive whenever I leave messages, they notify me when someone can not come, and they keep me informed.

We need someone that would know how to entertain and do things with my husband.
What I wanted was somebody to help with my husband, and the caregiver didn't do much to help with him. I wasn't able to make any phone calls.

It doesn't help when they don't have a caregiver here. They could have people here at least once a day. They said that they are training people now.
They were doing fine up until recently. They could have people here when they are scheduled to be here. We have had a lot of time where we do not have a caregiver here in the past two weeks.

They feed me and remind me of my medication. They help me.
They can make sure that they have fill ins for when a caregiver takes off.

They got someone to our home on very short notice. She was only home for 3 nights before she passed away. They were so good to her. Having them over relieved a lot of stress for us.
I liked the people that they sent out to work with us.

The caregivers are great to me. They take care of me.
I wish their communication in the office would be better when someone can't show up to a shift.
MARY B
The person they sent just watched my mom so I can work.
There were certain caregivers that they have that are really good. We have been fortunate enough to have good ones. We have had ones before that were not good.
LOWELL THOMAS B
It was helpful when it was working but it only worked half the time.
They could have showed up when they were supposed to.

They made the process of staying with my mother a lot easier. It frees me up so I don't have to spend too much time with my mother.
They keep me informed when I need it. They are easy to work with and very professional.

My mother has Parkinson's, and I need to be able to work. It is a break for me for the caregiver to come in twice a day.
When the caregiver needs to take time off, they have sent me three different ones. One of them needed a nurse herself, and one was so tiny. It is always a challenge when substitutes are needed.
SHERMAN J

They made my loved one feel like they really cared, and they joked with him.
I liked the concern they had for my loved one.

They give me an aide that really cares about me.
There is a certain person in the office that doesn't want to corporate with you.
LAVERN B
They help the most by providing me with an aide that can take care of my mother so that I can work.
They do not have enough aides. Right now, our aide is out, and they do not have coverage, so I have to sit here with her.

I was in dire need of getting my granddaughter certified to care for my Mother , was dealing with a company that was not very helpful so we reached out to Care Advantage and in less than two weeks time they had the problem solved ! I am so grateful to them for coming to our rescue and the professional way they handled the situation ! Today my Mother is overjoyed that her great granddaughter is taking care of her and I am thankful to Care Advantage for starting my granddaughter on her career path !

I have a wonderful caregiver. She helps me with everything, such as my showering.
The office staff needs improvement, and they could do their job better. It seems like everyone wants to pass off things to others instead of doing things themselves.

MEDINA C

I feel like there needs to be more people hired so my respite hours can be used. My husband and I are both retired. When we plan to go out with other couples, we can't be solid in the plans to go because of them.
Medina has respite hours, but they don't seem to have anyone to cover those hours for me. I don't know if they have enough people working. They don't tell me until last minute.
BOBBY S
She is here as much as she can be, and I enjoy her company. I enjoy her taking care of me.
I brought my caregiver along with me to the company, but I like the other nurses.
MELVIN B
If they could be consistent with one caregiver instead of sending many different caregivers. He gets confused when he sees a lot of different people.
They just have a lack of communication sometimes. We do not know if someone is going to come if our caregiver can not make it.

They call in the event that a worker cannot come. They give me prompt notice and they always follow up on the promises they make. If they say they will send someone, they will call every other hour to let us know the progress of finding someone to cover.
I like the fact that they are very efficient in providing workers. If someone is sick, they get right on it and they let me know the progress of the work.

A lot of times when a non regular caregiver comes in, they do not know what to do. They should review the case to see what kind of care he needs.
The scheduling needs to be improved. There are people that call out on the weekends and we are not able to find replacements.

The services are good when someone's here. I would like them to assure me they will have someone to cover my loved one when the other nurse is off. I have to call them to find out what's going on.
I would like to see communication improved. It's very poor. We're without a nurse sometimes and I don't know if that's the company's fault or not.

They could have come in and worked, not just sat around. There were things I needed done and they didn't do them.
I needed help very badly. I have Parkinson's and MS and there are things I can't do, and I needed help.

I can't get up and do a lot and if I need something, they get it for me. I asked her to make me a sandwich one day and she did. They don't too many dishes in the sink and they straighten up a bit, but they don't do it unless I make them.
They need to send people that are trained, and that don't bring their personal cell phone with them and stay on it for hours.

When I had someone here, it was phenomenal. I needed someone here. They had a problem getting people here on time, and when our main caregiver couldn't make it, they couldn't get people here in a hurry. I was told it wasn't their problem if someone couldn't make it to work.
They needed to communicate with me and with each other.

It was a terrible experience. They should be professional and they need to make sure they have enough CNAs.

Prior to our new nurses, them showing up was a problem, which threw a wrench in the whole day.
We've had a really bad experience with them, but we've gotten new nurses now, so it's getting better. The nurses could show up, that would improve things.

They do their best. They try to cover everything, and the caregivers they do get are attentive to my loved one and are very nice. They really enjoy having them there.
The only thing that I'm not happy with is that a lot of the time, they can't get the employees to come in. It's not the agency's fault, it's the employees that are working there. I live far from my loved one, and I can't go that far away when they don't have anyone there. It's crucial that they have someone there. We have a good caregiver for them now, but none of them call in to tell the office they are late or not coming.
