The home care place that we have dealt with in the past is a local one called Home Helpers. They actually are the ones we have chosen to use again. They actually helped my husband when he needed some temporary home care. So that is how we became aware of them. They actually helped him with some in-home nursing for the time he was home. I'm familiar with them because a very dear friend of mine used them also for home nursing visits. We got to kind of know them. I know that Home Helpers are more than just local, but they seem local to us. I would recommend them. They are knowledgeable and very well organized. The nursing care was great. I only needed them for a week because I was going to be gone. I needed them to come in to do the things that I was doing for my husband until I returned. It was basically just wound care that I needed help with. I like the fact that whenever possible, they try to match what the provider gender that you are comfortable with. I definitely do recommend them. I would encourage everybody locally that needs that kind of service to give them a call. They are very easy to work with, and they provide professional care.

I only needed them for a few months and they did an excellent job. I would call them whenever I needed them to send someone to hangout with mom. She had home aides, therapists and nurses from Home Helpers. They have been a great help. She liked her aides, Susie and Eddie, because they were both older and were comfortable to be with. Susie would bring her special cookies and stuff she bakes. They accommodate her and she really enjoyed their company. She also had a younger aide, Jaime, who was wonderful but mostly they didn't click together. Mom was not feeling good because of medical issues but Jaime would make sure mom had her showers. She would call me at work and keep me informed with everything that happened. Everybody that comes here from Home Helpers always does an excellent job. They were really good to my mother.
