    They could be sure that their employees are trained, and that they do what they are supposed to do. I have had three caregivers fired for not being there, and not doing anything. I would like to make sure that they confirm when the caregivers say they will be there, and the hours that I get billed for. I have had a lot of issues.

    It depended on who the caregiver was we had about 6 caregivers. The agency could have stuck to the schedule that he had and could have let us know when we were going to get a new caregiver. There were a lot of things that they could have done differently. I would like to see consistent service like the aides that we got for my father.

    Provider Response

    I'm sorry to learn that your experience wasn't as you expected.We were off to a bumpy start, so we at Right at Home were in constant contact with your family member to resolve any issues and put the right team in place, resulting in many warm and complimentary remarks from others. For example, other family members including the client appreciated our "more than gracious" efforts to fix issues. According to one of the family members the client "really appreciated (two caregivers) and was thrilled when he found out they were coming" and after services ended a family member said "our father...wanted to be sure we took care of you as you took such excellent care of him. We thank you!" (This was in a note written to the caregivers.)

    Provider Response

    Thank you for providing your feedback and letting us know about your concerns. We apologize that our service did not satisfy your expectations. Over several months of service we have had some caregivers call out for personal reasons, which does happen. We understand this can be frustrating, and at those times we have made every effort to replace the caregiver, and reached out to you to inform you each time, so you had the option of cancelling that day. If you have concerns about a caregiver, it is very helpful for us to hear from you on that day with your specific feedback, so we can address the issue immediately with the individual, and correct their behavior. We set a high standard for ourselves and are truly sorry to hear that standard was not met in your interaction with our business. Your happiness is our number one priority.

    I knew that there was always going to be someone there, but I wasn't always confident that the caregivers were knowledgeable. On a positive note, at first we only had someone coming once a week, but when we had a medical crisis and things started going downhill, they got someone for us when we needed them. I would like to see them improve on continuity with care providers.

I have a leather couch and I'd love it to be clean and restored and there's a problem where he isn't getting to it. It's a bit reluctant. The caregiver is doing a really good job, as best as he can. It's a hard job for a guy and he's done a lot.

    A lot of the basic services eliminate worries for me. They make my life easier. They are very efficient.

    Provider Response

    Thank you for your feedback. Consistency of caregiving has always been a focus of our efforts. There are some times and days that are more challenging than others in terms of coverage. Weekends indeed may introduce a challenge from the staffing prospective, especially when shifts are short. Sometimes when a client’s schedule changes frequently, consistent staffing becomes difficult to achieve. We at Right At Home are working very hard to improve the situation whenever possible, and truly appreciate clients maintaining a consistent schedule.

    I was doing all of his meals and care and worrying before I had Right at Home. They are very reliable and if someone is sick, they always find a replacement caregiver.

    They can make my life easier by being nicer to the employees. They can improve in communication and the way they treat their employees. I have heard stories about the way they are being treated. They are rude to the caregivers.

    When I have someone come regularly, it's better for me. It's easier for when I don't have to tell the new aides what to do. I can't do vacuuming, which they help with. I have a hard time walking, and if the same maid doesn't come, I get tired. I would have her clean the bathroom. Some of the caregivers are not efficient.

    They prepared meals and transferred him from the wheelchair to the bathroom. The only negative I would say is that at times they had difficulty filling the time slot for the evenings. He had the same aidd the majority of mornings, but in the evenings it was a hit or miss. I don't know if they were short staffed or if it was because of the time slot that we needed coverage for. They communicated with us and did whatever we asked of them.

    Right at Home needs to get better employees and training for them. I've had some take days off each week and who didn't even show up. The owner never calls me either. They think they're high and mighty, and I'm not happy with them. My caregivers are supposed to be the elite and college graduates. They are supposed to be prompt, and Right at Home needs to be accurate in calling people back.

    Provider Response

    As the owner of Right at Home in Newton, MA I want to thank you for your feedback as we constantly seek to improve the quality of our services. While I can’t address the specifics of your reason for wanting to speak with me I am aware that the Director of Operations was in contact with you on multiple occasions to address your concerns. The caregivers are reference and background checked, oriented, trained, and supervised in your home. They however are not required to have a college degree. I agree that caregivers should be prompt, and unfortunately unforeseen events such as New England weather and illness may cause caregivers to call out. As you may be aware, we make every attempt to replace them. Even though we do our best to provide a qualified replacement with skills specific to your needs from the pool of available caregivers, this may not always be possible, especially upon short notice. Please be assured that we are committed to providing high quality homecare to you, as we have done for thousands of clients for 15 years. Vladimir Zarkhin, President and Owner

    Right at Home could have a regular caretaker and call and let me know when the caretaker is coming. They have a difficult time setting up the schedule. They've even scheduled a person and they didn't show up. It's upsetting. I have leukemia and there's no schedule. They used to be much better. I call and don't get answers from them. They say "I don't know."

    Provider Response

    Thank you very much for your comments and feedback as we constantly seek to improve the quality of our services. I’m sorry to learn that you feel communication with our office wasn’t as effective as it could be. I will contact you to discuss the communication issues you have called to my attention so we may address them. My goal is to ensure you’re satisfied with your schedule and our response to any changes in the schedule. We hope to provide the very best care possible and want to ensure your satisfaction. Again, thank you. Sara Miller, RN, Vice President of Operations

    Provider Response

    We are sorry you got such an impression. Without knowing the specifics of your situation it will be difficult to address. We do provide consistent training to our caregivers, and if you think we missed on some aspects of it, we appreciate you contacting the office to discuss. As a general practice we do not schedule our caregivers for more than 40 hours weekly. We very well understand the challenges of caregiving as a career, and do our best to make sure our caregivers preserve their work-life balance.

    About Right at Home Boston Metro West in Newton, Massachusetts

    Right at Home provides personalized in-home care and support for seniors and adults with disabilities. Our caregivers are trained to help with everyday tasks that have become challenging. This may include meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, personal hygiene, medication reminders, mobility assistance, transportation and other tasks. We offer services for those with special care situations such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease and other dementias; diabetes; stroke recovery; and hospice care. Whether you are looking for a few hours a week or immediate, 24-hour care, we are here to help. Call us today to learn more about the services we can provide you or a loved one.

    Custom Care Plan

    We know everyone’s needs are different, so we create custom, client-centered care plans based on our unique five-step approach to care. We take time to get to know you by discussing your health history, physical and cognitive abilities, daily routines, and personal lifestyle and preferences. This conversation is important to us because we want to help you determine the level and types of care you need and match you with the best caregiver to help you continue to live successfully at home, or wherever you call home.

    Caregiver Training and Care Supervision

    When you choose Right at Home, you can rest assured that our caregivers will deliver the care you or your loved one needs. Every caregiver goes through an extensive interview process, including background checks. We provide initial caregiver training through our Right at Home University before they can provide care, and we provide ongoing training to support best care practices. All of our caregivers are employed by Right at Home and are bonded and insured.
