    She really enjoyed interacting with the caregivers that came. I liked that they were doing a lot to help me. If they couldn't find someone to help me, they would send a supervisor over to help me until they could find someone.

    Unfortunately, I had to be there the entire time with the caregivers because they didn't know how to work with someone with dementia. They helped with bathing and lifting. They could be responsive to care, reach out and be a decent human being. It's beyond shameful that so many people were involved and no one said I'm sorry for your loss or anything.

    I was expecting something different. I was expecting more of a companion for the client where they would do things like play cards. The client just didn't need that level of care, so it was more on me. It's not that they were bad, but right out of the gate, the caregiver was asking to talk to the client about God. I am Catholic, but the client is not, and it made him very uncomfortable. We had to wait a long time to get care and in that period of time, I made the choice to do it myself. I feel bad about it, but I know I made the right choice about it. The company itself is doing a great job, but it was just not a fit for me. I had asked the supervisor if we could take the hours down because there really wasn't much for the caregiver to do. The caregiver sat in a chair for 4 hours. The supervisor never really answered me about that. I didn't really give them a fair amount of time, but the client didn't need that level of care.

    We haven't had them very long, and we are still in the "trying to get acquainted" phase. The client has dementia so that phase is taking longer than usual. The caregivers could have a greater impact if they could just keep showing up. They're doing great with what they're doing so far. I like that it has been easy to deal with everybody I have talked to so far. I have gotten my questions answered pretty promptly. It seems like they would bend over backwards for you to get what you need.

    I felt confident that my mom was being taken care of and that she seemed happy with the caregivers. As far as her life she was well fed, her physical hygiene was taken care of, and she had company. I'd recommend them because the caregivers were well trained and they showed a lot of care for my mother and they also kept the family informed.

    If I had a good caregiver, they were always busy doing something and attentive to my needs, even asking what they could do or providing some transportation for me, but that wasn't always the case to have. We had some issues with the caregivers not all being great and the services being a bit expensive for the cost of that.

    It was a very high impact as far as the need for services, but the experience was not positive. They needed to be more flexible with the schedule and have better staff. There is one individual who is outstanding, everyone else is poor. Their schedule needs to be more flexible.

They listened to our needs and assigned experienced home care professionals, who were helpful, caring and open to having many family members drop in for visits.

    We hired the services of Always Best Care in Puyallup because my dad has got some mobility issues. They're helping him get up, get dressed, and get his breakfast. They are also helping him with his toiletry, going to the bathroom, showering, and grooming. So far, I think it's going great. He seems happy, and they've been dependable. We haven't had any problems with people not showing up. The biggest problem has been finding enough providers to come in. I know that's not in their control, just based on the environment we are right now where people start working. That has been the hardest part. They are doing the best they can, but they're short on staff; so that's been the most frustrating part. Overall, it's great. I'm very pleased. We have great communication with them. They are who we have been working with the whole time. They got referred to us from the rehab center.
