Homewatch CareGivers of Englewood

Didn't make my plane in time. My Dad had to have his last follow up appointment at the doctor for hip replacement. I had no idea that this office would take her, stay for the whole appointment, text me on how it went and pick up her meds from the pharmacy. I owe you so much for saving the day. She loves loves loves Lucille. She is so attentive and ready to help. Can we keep her?

Homewatch CareGivers embodies a philosophy of compassion that shows in the quality of care they provide, They have a clear sense of purpose of what it means to be an agency in service to others. For the past three years I have had the good fortune of partnering with Homewatch CareGivers to provide educational programming in elder abuse prevention and have observed first-hand how they are 'leading the way' in providing dedicated in-home care.

My family and I will be forever grateful to Homewatch for the excellent care they took of my mother for over 4 years. Top to bottom the caregivers were consistently capable, patient and compassionate. They had the observational skills necessary to anticipate her needs and were always watchful for any issues that might arise. Many times when the facility she stayed in could not accommodate her needs, Homewatch saved the day and got her to important appointments with doctors, dentists, and other critical care providers. As her dementia progressed, her health declined and we lost her, the constant communication and comfort from both the office staff and the caregivers was something we will never forget - they were there every step of the way.

I was unsure about how my parents would take to having a stranger in their house but it turned out marvelously and although we took some time to find the right caregiver, the office really did their best to listen to our needs. It was hard to make that first call and we weren't sure we could afford someone, but for the amount of things they do includinh take my folks to the doctors when I can't , it was worth every penny. We shopped around but I was really impressed that this company had the owner some to our house.

Simply wonderful. They took care of Mom until she went into an assisted living facility. The care givers were personable, friendly, engaging and very competent. One caregiver ended up following mom to the hospital, staying with her during evaluation and then calling me with the details. The on duty manager then made the arrangements to get her back home and had a caregiver scheduled for that transition - above and beyond. I count them as one of the best decisions I was ever part of. I've already recommended these folks to friends in the Littleton area - and will continue to do so!

my brother is currently a client of this agency. we have several caregivers during the week. one i'd like to acknowledge: leann. leann consistently arrives on time or even early and will stay a bit late if necessary. she treats my brother with upmost respect and caring. leann never shies away from any chore and always, always treats our home like her own; in fact, it has never been so organized and consistently clean! leann is motivated and has initiative. she looks for things to do to be helpful and charges on with absolutely no hesitation. she has been an invaluable asset to both of us.

Our caregiver was outstanding-prompt, depenable and a hard worker. She was very personable and genuine in how she interacted with me and my husband Gene. I would definetely recommend this agency to others because they were easy to get a hold of and always very responsive to our needs especially regarding schedule. We had a wonderful experience.

Although it took a year to convince my mother to have a "stranger" visit her at home, she quickly became a real fan of the service when she developed a strong friendship with her caregiver. That was five years ago, and we've continued to have Homewatch Caregivers visit Mom even after she entered an assisted living facility a year ago, so positive has been the relationships she has had with the two women who have served as her caregiver and friend over the years. My sister and I decided on Homewatch Caregivers because they offered a program that included exercises to improve memory, and we were pleased when Mindy and Joyce extended those courses to involve Mom in activities that challenged her mind and memory while she had fun. Caregiver Mindy used music to engage with Mom, having her play and sing songs from her past. Caregiver Joyce regularly plays games with Mom that require her to think and remember. While Mom was still in her home, both Mindy and Joyce took an active part in helping Mom manage her household, keeping tabs on Mom's cleanliness, food preparation, and household needs. With my mother unable to drive safely, both women on occasion drove Mom to the library or store. Both ladies routinely have kept me and my sister informed about their concerns regarding Mom, and their suggestions have often proved helpful as we continue to support our mother in her latter years. We are especially indebted to Caregiver Joyce for quickly notifying me that Mom was quite ill when Joyce arrived to spend a hour with her. It turned out that Mom required emergency surgery to save her life, and had not Joyce visited that day it's likely Mom would not have had the strength to call me or my sister, so Joyce's emergency call to me pretty much saved the day. Although Mindy no longer is the Caregiver assigned to my mother, she still visits Mom at the ALC, where Mindy performs regularly, singing and playing the piano. My mother loves that Mindy comes to retrieve her to join the audience before each performance, making Mom feel very special. Just the other day Mom commented on how fortunate she feels to have two wonderful friends visit her so often. I am pleased to recommend Homewatch Caregivers of Southwest Denver to anyone considering at home services for their elderly relative.
