Lynne R_3 2021-01-12 Some caregivers were excellent and others were less than stellar. They would be self initiating. They didn't need to be asked to do it. I liked that it was coordinated, so I did not have to do anything. I am a past client of this provider

ConnieC2 2020-10-20 I would not recommend this company to anyone. From the beginning they sent out inadequate aides some of which sat in the den and slept. One made his bed up with a soiled bed pad in it and one left his toilet smeared with blood and feces, just to name a few things. Constant changing of the aides with One exception. How these people ever passed a CNA course is behind me. Perhaps they should pay for better help instead of the cheapest. I am a past client of this provider

Anonymous_4079 2020-09-30 When it's a Spanish speaking sitter, the communication is much easier. He can communicate with the caregiver. They just keep him occupied by playing games, like dominoes. They're very good to keep me in the loop of what's going on. Communication is really good. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

Vincent W_1 2020-09-17 I can go to appointments and feel secure knowing he is with someone that will meet his needs. When they tell you they will do something, they do it. They try to meet your needs rather than just filling a spot. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

Ronald W_2 2020-09-17 While the agency was there the services were decent. There was lack of communication or miscommunication with the individuals that were assigned to the client. We had asked for certain criteria and it didn't seem very organized. There was an issue where one of the caregivers had COVID and they came into the house and the client got COVID from them. The agency was dishonest in not letting us know about the status of the caregiver. I am a current client of this provider

Hope M 2020-08-17 Mama's caregiver is really good. She works well with my mom and she is great. My mom is in the hospital right now and her caregiver is there with her. Mostly, what we like, is the caregiver that Mama has. The services have been great and we are happy with her particular caregiver. I am a current client of this provider

William H_9 2020-07-17 They were average all the way across because we had a number of different people. I cannot say what they could have done better, they did well for us. They took care of bathing her and took care of other stuff like her clothes that were in need of changing and changing her bed. I like the professional attitude of the folks who came out. They were very, very attentive. I am a current client of this provider

Jerry P_10 2020-02-25 He really needs the care and the way that it happened could have explained better. We had a caregiver that was shrinking the hours that he had to work to thirty minutes and my husband has a severe issue and he took a while to explain why he did that and told me that he needed more equipment. He then quit without a two week's notice. When I called the supervisor she told me that he decided to quit but she did not notify me and I am still waiting to hear back about a therapist. I am a current client of this provider

M. T. 2018-07-23 There wasn't a time Always Best Care didn't have a caregiver to be with my Mom. Also, they completed the necessary paperwork to the Long Term Insurance Company so I didn't have to handle it. Primarily their service was at night while my Mom was sleeping so I'm not able to discuss a lot about their care and service to her. I did recommend them to a dear friend of mine who just starting use them for his Mom's care. I am a current client of this provider

Warren B 2016-06-06 I wanted to let you know that Carolyn was a great care taker for my patient.The patient had a laser procedure which involved some anesthesia and detailed aftercare. Carolyn was very well trained to care for her and really helped her with her icing and aftercare products.My patient was very pleased that she had her so she did not have to do everything herself being drowsy after anesthesia.We will definitely call on you again to provide this level of care for future patients.

Vicki Morgan 2016-05-16 I am just writing to thank ABC for the wonderful care that they gave to my dad. He was in assisted living and needed additional care due to dementia and the sitters were so kind to him and he enjoyed their company. I liked that there was consistency in the sitters that came and he was able to get to know them and had a relationship with them. He became comfortable with them because the same few came all the time. We never had to worry that someone would not show because Tim made sure all the days were covered as he had 24/7 care. When my father became too ill to get out of bed, the sitters were wonderful to make sure he was clean and comfortable even when he could no longer verbally express his needs. I would pop by all the time unannounced and I was never disappointed in what I encountered. Several times when I would come by, the sitter would be sitting on the bed reading to him or singing to him even though he was unresponsive for the most part. I know he could hear them and that meant so much to me. As a working person who could not be there all the time, I felt so comfortable that they were there. His main sitter even came to his funeral! I cannot say enough good things about ABC. Tim and his staff are aces!!!! I am a past client of this provider

K. I am sorry for the loss of your uncle. He was a sweet and kind person. I know it was difficult to oversee his care from so far away. I visited frequently in the last month of his life and your cousin never mentioned that he had contracted Covid. We had care givers in place for him until the end. I am glad he passed in such a peaceful home.
