Homewatch CareGivers of Yuma (CLOSED) Yuma, AZ

I am a very good friend/sister of one of your clients who is 90 years old. Your employee was taking care of her 2-3 times a week until she fell and fractured her hip. When she returned home after rehab she needed help 24/7. I went and stayed with her for three weeks and during that time I was very impressed with the daily, professional care, concern and the extra work the caregiver provided to make your clients healing and recovery successful. She monitored and gave the meds, made PT, OT and in-home nurse appoints plus surgery and other doctor follow-up appointments. She did the shopping and made home cooked meals. I am certain my friend is in very capable hands as she continues her recovery. When I call to see how the recovery is coming along, I phone while the caregiver is still there and know she will give me the full picture. Thank you for providing a "match made in Heaven" for my dear friend.

We are currently clients of homewatch. We originally had services with a separate family member who has sense passed on. Because of the incredible care we recieved we decided to go with homewatch again. Thankfully we were able to keep our last caregiver Shannon, she has been just wonderful!! She cooks, cleans, helps with medications, appointments an really just everything. I cannot say enough good things about Shannon, she really is just wonderful at everything she does, definatly goes above and beyond for her clients. The office is also great, I have always been able to get ahold of everyone I ever I need something.

We're using Homewatch CareGivers of Yuma. They have a lady come in. We started out three days a week for three hours, and it turned out my father doesn't need that much care, so we're down to two days a week for two hours each day. They provide cleaning and cooking services and just basic companionship to look in on him and make sure he's feeling OK. It's working out quite well. They're very good. We've had a couple of issues with the hours that they bill versus the hours that they're there. We've had discussions with them, and they've corrected that right away, so there are no issues at all with what. They're always very friendly to work with.

My sister-in-law is a client of Homewatch and she is very happy with the services she receives. She is especially happy with her caregiver, Susan, who does her shopping, pet care, home chores and provides rides to her appointments. My sister-in-law often remarks that she doesn't know what she would do without Susan. Susan is a great caregiver, conscientious, and caring, and she goes above and beyond in her considerate acts for her client. We are all very happy with the care my sister-in-law receives.

We did not move my dad into a community at all. We got caregivers from Homewatch CareGivers of Yuma that come to the home and he likes that a lot better so he doesn't have to leave his home. The caregivers have been wonderful with us. They come in and sit with him and clean up a little and visit with him. They're very flexible. They work with the schedule that we need. If dad has a doctor's appointment, they're willing to take him there. The flexibility works for us because you never know when dad has another doctor's appointment or something and they're able to help out there. They're able to help out with light housework and feed him a hot meal. If I'm unavailable, they'll cook for him. They seem to be very caring and very legitimate so I like them. They're flexible like I can call and say, "Hey, I didn't realize dad has an appointment today, can't make the visit." Then they'll come later. So that's what I mean by their flexibility. They're able to do that. They let me know ahead of time that they're going to charge dad's card and then they send me the receipt. It's easy and there are no surprises because they let you know.

My husband and I are using Homewatch CareGivers for medical appointments and for grocery shopping at this time. My husband just had open heart surgery five weeks ago and he's not driving yet, and so we've been taking advantage of the services that Homewatch CareGivers provide. We're very, very delighted. All we have to do is call up and ask them. Primarily, we're using them for mobility to get us to medical appointments and to go grocery shopping. We're not using any in-home services at this time. They're very, very exceptional and very caring. I put together a list of names because we've been able to take advantage of several of them. The ladies who work there are Pilara, Vanessa, Rita, Arlene, Rose, and Tiara, and they're all very, very excellent and very helpful, particularly with grocery shopping. They help with getting things packaged up and then they bring in all the groceries, which is good for me because that helps me a lot. My husband who was supposed to be lifting things doesn't need to worry about that. There's only the two of us, and they're very interested. When we're driving around, we get a chance to chat and get acquainted and share with them some of our things and they share some of theirs, so we're feeling very taken care of. They've been very accommodating, very caring and very interested in providing the services that we need. My husband needed help to get in and out of the car when he first got out of his surgery. They gave him a little stepladder, and they're using that when he goes, so it's been very accommodating. I have macular degeneration and I've been meaning to go for regular monthly appointments for that. They took my husband to the hospital, so that he could go have surgery when he needed that. We've gone for his appointments to the doctor's office. We both go and they drive us and wait for us or come back for us. When he was in the hospital, they took me down to see him for the few days that he was in the hospital, so I was able to spend an hour or an hour and a half that he was in the hospital. The ladies have been assisting us with transportation, grocery shopping, mailing some packages off a couple of times, and going to the bank, anything we need to do. It's been very helpful for us that they have been able to take us out when we need to go and take care of our business.
