Senior Helpers did good. I had two caregivers. The first one is great. Everybody is great, and I never had a problems at all. They all had conversations with me and I enjoyed having them around. They even bring me flowers. My son is the one dealing with the owner. He seemed very nice and cooperative. They're just great!

My son in-law hired Senior Helpers for me. Valerie, our caregiver, does a good job. She's very helpful, organized and very pleasant. So far, I'm very happy with her. One of the things I can't do is drive and she's been very good about that. She's a good driver and that's been very helpful for my doctor's appointments. She takes me if I have to go somewhere. She also goes to the grocery store and does shopping for me. She also cooks when I need her too. She helps in changing my bed and that kind of thing. Kevin and his staff are very friendly and pleasant. I haven't had any problems with them.

We met the caregiver who was looking after a dear friend of ours who was in hospice care before. We got to know her as we were visiting my friend. It just happened that she was with Senior Helpers. So we hired them and we're very satisfied in getting their service. The caregiver is such a big help. She give me a chance to get out of the house. She helps prepare meals for both of us and does light housekeeping for us. I'm pretty senior myself and older than my wife. She could handle things and it's a big help to me. She also helps with some of the therapy homework lessons that my wife was getting. She's very helpful, friendly and conscientious.

The caregiver we have from Senior Helpers is very good. She does everything for me. I am very comfortable with her and I like her very much. She is very kind and very thoughtful. What we also like about her is her enthusiasm. She's very observant too. She knows what I need before I have to say I need something. She always sees to it that something has to be done around the house. She's always a step ahead of me. She's very considerate about what I need. She's very personable and likable. She tries to find solutions to different things. For example when I'm changing clothes, she always suggest a good combination of clothes for me to wear. When she's around the house and if she feels that I'm not comfortable, she tries to make me comfortable.

We came across Senior Helpers when my husband was in the hospital. When they released him they said he needed to have a round the clock care so we got Senior Helpers. I used them a year ago around July. For the most part, the caregivers were good. There were one or two who were not sufficient in their care. Some are just better than others.

Our children decided I needed more help because I was taking care of my husband on my own. I'll be 82 in a few days and it was getting too much for me. I was really getting tired. So my daughter called a couple of agencies. I chose a different company first. It didn't work out eventually. That girl just did nothing but sit on the sofa to read and watch TV. With that, my daughter decided to call Kevin and they sent a wonderful caregiver. She's really great and she takes right over. She comes in and ask me how the night went with my husband. She helps him bathe, gets him dressed and brings him downstairs. While we're eating breakfast, she goes out there and vacuums, fixed the bed, does the laundry. She does physical therapy with him and mental therapy. They do the crossword puzzle from the newspaper everyday. She does arm exercises too. My husband has a bicycle to exercise his legs which she would help him with. She just takes over and she's been such a help. I don't know what to do without her.
