    I would have liked them to have better communication, staffing and consider who the patient is. I would have liked the communication to be improved regarding scheduling, with the family, when they are not coming and advanced notice given.

    It added stress to my life. I would've liked to have one consistent caregiver. If they don't mind multiple people coming in, it would be okay.

    The provider has helped the most by moving and bathing the client, along with personal care. This agency is flexible, and the caretaker has become a family member.

    They could provide us with a back-up to make our life easier. They could have a back-up when people don't show up. You are just left with nothing if someone doesn't show up.

    Some of them are sleeping on the job. My husband had a bell, and they would not respond. Many times I came and his diaper was really soaked. Some of the caregivers did not have good bedside manner. They come in and out. Sometimes they are good and some are not good fits. I only had 4 good caregivers.

    They could help by showing more initiative rather than sitting and waiting to be told what to do. They need to have mobility training for the staff and hands-on training. Different people show up at different times. It is very difficult for them to have the caregivers show up for more than 1 or 2 days in a row.

    They make his life easier by being here when I can't be here with him. I can basically cover anything that they do, but it's helpful to have someone here when I can't be. They could keep us more informed and let us know when changes are going to happen, and they could keep our nurses informed on what their benefits are.

    Actually, my mom is the client, but she's in end-of-life care and is nonverbal, so I'm managing her care. Care Advantage came well recommended - but I'm having trouble seeing WHY. After my mom's massive stroke, I contacted CA to arrange 24/7 in-home care for her final weeks. We are 72 hours into the relationship, and already we've had a 3-hour coverage lapse, and, FAR more important, two different caregivers have let my mom sit in a wet diaper overnight!!! I don't care about small coverage lapses. Things happen. Folks get sick, or have other crises, and call out. That's understandable. Sending out folks who don't know how to keep a patient clean and dry is NOT understandable. It's inexcusable. Credit where it's due: Several of the caregivers have been quite good, and the one who is here now is outstanding. I've requested that she be assigned to us for as many shifts as possible. The agency has been - less than responsive to my concerns. They were very apologetic and responsive to the coverage lapse, but that's of far less concern to me than caregivers who either don't know how to do the job, or won't bother! Situations like these are so difficult. I will probably never in my life make decisions or take actions where the stakes are any higher - few things could possibly matter more than making sure a loved one is comfortable in their final days! And I fear I've made a dreadful error in working with Care Advantage.

    The caregivers helped the most by knowing what to do and doing it. They gave assistance and help immediately. We had a need and I was given a number for them by someone. They responded immediately and had somebody out here the next day. We were so grateful because my husband and I are not medical people. They were extremely helpful.

    They were in for a short period of time, and the services didn't start on time, so we had to adjust.

    Care Advantage has helped the most by providing qualified people to aid me with the things I cannot do myself. It's been positive by providing the help I need. My schedule is all messed up when they come in here, and they are very accommodating. I have a sister who fills in on some of their times.So, it's not easy to juggle all these people, I guess.

    I called for a driver to help me to get to an appointment and 3 different people showed up to take me. Then they made me wait in the car with the 2 aides while we waited for the aide to show up to come with us and then I had to pay all that time and pay for three people to drive me to the appointment. A caregiver came and then they had to leave early and then I got billed for all of it.

    We didn't know how many hours we needed for assistance so we did a split shift which caused them to not assign us regular aides which makes it hard for a patient with Alzheimer's. They need to get their scheduling down. There is a lack of scheduling and they don't let us know who is coming and when. We had a few aides we didn't want to return.
