AgingCare 2

We've used Homewatch CareGivers for the last few months for my 91-year old Mom. Mom still tries to be independent, and she doesn't think she needs anyone to help her, but the caregivers were excellent and able to work with my difficult Mom. The caregivers are top notch -- caring, competent and professional. The staff has been wonderful. They have always come through, even when we had a schedule change at the last moment. They are completely trustworthy, dependable and professional, and I wouldn't trust any other company to take care of my Mom.

For the last two years, [name removed], [name removed] and team have provided excellent service and care to my loved one. Don't know what I would do without them.

I would recommend Helping Others home care in the home setting. The facility Dad was in had more requirements than they were able to meet. My sister spent most of the time on the phone with the coordinator, but they seemed willing to accommodate us, very friendly.

We used Agape Services for a short time to provide a safe environment for my mom. I was very satisfied with both the care and the communication. Mom's caretaker was always prompt, kept me updated and gave useful tips and feedback about my Mom. I would recommend Agape Services to family and friends.

Assisting Hands was helpful and accommodating to our loved one and family. Some of the services they offered were: elder care, companionship, and running errands for my loved one.

We were satisfied with the services they provided. They also tried to do activities with my loved one the best that they could. The staff that came out were always nice.

Everything has been pretty good with Assertive Care. In the beginning there were a couple of care givers where the personalities clashed with our loved ones. However the care giver we have had the last couple of months has been great. We can call or email the agency with any questions we may have, and they are very responsive. The agency was also great about following up with our family in the beginning to make sure everything was going good.

We chose Complete in home care services because of the price and also if someone did not show up, they would follow through and find someone else to come for back up. They could work on giving more frequent training to the caregivers.

Everything is going great with Home Companion Services, we have had no problems with them.

The workers we encountered were friendly, however we had just an okay experience and would probably not recommend the Brooks Home Health Care services to other friends or families.

So far the caregiver is working out.

Overall, I would say that SYNERGY is doing well for my loved one. However, we were surprised to find that the director, who we interviewed with and who really helped sway our decision to go with Synergy, left the job a few weeks ago. It definitely caused some alarm and confusion, but I hope that it will work out, and they will continue doing well for us.

I’ve been using ComForCare for my friend who needs more attention than what a lot of communities have been able to offer and so far we’re happy with it. There was a caregiver they had sent us, who had only come twice, who called me on a Saturday one week and told me she would not be able to come because she was attending a funeral, which I understood. However, she did not call me until the time that she was supposed to be there and when I asked if she would be able to come later in the afternoon, she stated she would not because she was in a different state. There wasn’t much communication on her part and because of that, I had to take care of my friend that day myself. Since then, they’ve sent me someone new and she’s been really good. One of the caregivers that we get during the week will make food when necessary and seems to keep the place pretty clean. We only use their services about twice a week though. They’ll do activities with my friend as much as he will allow them, but he has trouble walking so that kind of limits what they can do. Overall, I would recommend them for those looking for home care options.

My parents are doing reasonably well with Synergy home care. Our primary issue, however, is the fact that the caregiver that has come in to replace their former caregiver could be more self motivated. This is a rather minor issue and we are working through this. Besides that, we are pleased.

The people here were very helpful and nice. The only thing is that mom was looking for services that can help her and help around the house. This company just basically provided companion care. Just did not work out.

I was very happy with this service for the care in a home for my mom. We were happy knowing that someone was helping watch over my mom and keep her company and was nice and responsible for assisting in her needs. She was on time and friending and caring. We would recommend this service to other families for good in home care.

We are happy with the good care that this service does provide. The caretaker does help with some personal needs to help out cooking, cleaning, We did have to address an issue that my father only wanted a female caretaker. They were helpful and willing to improve little things when addressed. I would recommend this service overall and they did end up going above and beyond,

Companion is punctual, personable, experienced and conscientious. However, the company does not participate with Medicare or Medicaid.

So far everything is going well we have only had the service for about a week now, but so far everything is going great. The staff that has come in is very friendly and very helpful with my mother. I would recommend this agency I would say to anyone looking into care options just speak up and make sure the agency understands your needs and exactly what you want.

I would say that overall the experience has been very positive. I was hoping that they would have more experience with Alzheimer's, but there has not been a lot of success. I realize that might not be entirely their fault, but I just had the impression they would be a little more experienced.
