I liked that they were able to be there with the client, so we did not have to worry or be there ourselves. The client liked the caregivers she had, they were able to help with ADL's.

They give me confidence that she is being taken care of and I don't have to be there 24 hours a day. I was told when I signed up you have 3 levels of care. When I asked about it at a later date I was told that you provide only 2 levels of care.

It helps me immensely. I am living with the client, so by them being here, I can get things done for myself. They should have better communication with us.

My mom was having a very hard time sleeping, and she needed a lot of help, and it put my mind at ease that she was getting help. It was very easy to contract with them to get someone to start taking care of my mom on short notice.

He would prefer me to do everything, but it has helped my quality of life. They try hard to keep him stimulated and occupied. They're very personal, responsive to my questions and concerns, and they tried to be flexible during the pandemic.

She aides us immensely. It gives me time to accomplish other tasks. I am in a conundrum with them now about billing. I have had to go back and forth many times with them to try to solve things.

They should be able to drive. We have only had two caregivers. Neither have been able to drive. Since they don't drive, she stays home. She can't go to her church things. My mom is very social. She has dementia. I have recommended them before to someone. Their availability of live-in caregivers is not great.

My mom is 83 and can't transfer my dad, so the caregivers do the transfers. There are some good overnight caregivers who let my mom sleep through the night. We have had some overnight weekend caregivers who did not anticipate that they would have to stay awake all night and actually work while they were there. That has been the one gap in our coverage.

We have an aide that is great and keeps her company and they go out and do nature walks. On original incoming clients they should have a better understanding of what the needs are.

My mom suffers from dementia and with their help, she can stay home and not be moved into an assisted living. So far, I have not had any reason to complain. Their aides have been punctual and they seem to know what they are doing. This is my first time with a home care agency and the communication has been good.

It saves me a lot of time. She drives us to medical office appointments. It has been a big help for me. I would have to spend an extra 2-3 hours to get him ready. It gives me a lot of extra time to get my things ready. We set up a time for someone to come. His caregiver is helpful and asks if she can do anything for me.

The most helpful part of the care is the way she helps me get in the bath. She helps me wash my hairs and get dressed in the morning. Helps me around the house and she makes breakfast and dinner. I have no complaints about any of the caregivers. My caregiver does a wonderful job.

He remains safe from failing but the primary objectives of gaining independence were not met. The care management plan needs to be communicated to caregivers and reinforced and monitored.

The one she has now it excellent. She's a perfect fit and a great companion. They get along very well. She's just wonderful. They're growing through some growing pains. They have a disconnect with scheduling. They've sent aides that they were a great fit, and they weren't.

The people we have gotten to know have been people that really care about him and try to understand all the different things. They educate themselves. They really seem to give individual care. My husband just had his 85th birthday. They hand delivered a balloon set. It's nice to see something uplifting.

The nurses have communicated with me regularly, and they had ideas when there were problems. They are solution-oriented. I would say that you need to make sure you are a clear communicator. You need to communicate with the caregiver regularly.

It is difficult having strangers in your house, so having people who are friendly and outgoing makes it easier. Some of the people who took care of me had accents that were difficult to understand. They need people who are clear and easier to understand.

It's improved my daily life. It's important to me that we get the help. They are on sight when I can't or don't want to be. It's good. I would recommend, but they aren't excellent. I'm not sure if it's on an administrative perspective. They have been responsive. The people that are on the later shift have seemed like they are tired and that it might be the second job. They need to keep their eyes open and on my father.

It has been difficult for my mother-in-law to accept a change. It's not really a reflection of the service they provide. It's just a process for her to accept and utilize the care and services. They have been very personable and caring. It's a very unique business, and I think that they do it well.

It varies from aide to aide. Some are good, while some of them laugh at her, stay on their phone, and are not helpful. They need to be attentive to her and help her more. Some of them are not as focused on my wife. They are focused on their phone and other things.

They come in so we can get some rest at night. It has been a lifesaver for us. At first we didn't know what to expect, but it has been nothing but positive for us. We have been able to sleep at night and relax knowing that they will be there to help. I like the agency because of the stability that they offer. They have done a marvelous job at giving us caregivers that have stayed with us for a long time, and are reliable and dependable.

She has improved which is unusual at 98. They are there 7 days a week. This change with the continuity of the caregiver with keeping her on task has made the difference. They are all involved. I have the most fantastic caregiver. From the caregiver to the office they are all helpful.
