Home Helpers of Enfield

We're using Home Helpers of Enfield and we're very happy with them. One woman comes every day in the morning, and two other people handle the night for the whole week. The caregivers are very nice, they watch my mother, and they take care of her very well. They also feed her well.

She helps out the most by keeping his living area and bathroom just spotless, and his cleanliness is very important. The worker that we have is always on time and she is very helpful.

Also when we needed care they were prompt in setting it up. They are flexible and the caregivers are very good.

Most of the time they drive me around, since I can't drive anymore. They always come on time and they know what they are doing.

They could have told me I would be charged for the first few days. They give us a free consultation first.

It's helpful to have someone around to talk to. They come and do what they have to do. They're very helpful.

They provide companionship and help me with whatever I need. I like everything about the care, especially the companionship.

They don't stay too long when someone comes. I don't have a complaint about them.

I like that I can go out and shop because she is here with him. She is very careful when he walks.

It has been an adjustment for us for the people that are coming through. This is my first time with an agency, but I like the professionalism, interview when they first came out, I liked the follow through.

When they come, I can get things done. I like the woman who is here currently, and I like the previous woman. They come on time and do what they need to do.

We recently signed up with Home Helpers to assist my 86 year old mother with cleaning, meals, laundry etc. I contacted the franchise owner who came to our home and we developed a plan of what type of care was needed. He assured us his company could meet our needs and said to call him directly if any problems with the service occurred. We started out with one day a week for three hours per day and she did a good job. However, when we needed to add more days , the care providers sent were substandard. The young woman sent on 31 Dec arrived and was coughing continuously. She stated she had a bad cold for the past several days. She did not put a mask on until my mother asked if she had one. My mother later asked her to bring up two small area rugs for the bathroom that were hanging on the drying rack in the basement. She came up with the old rugs that were in front of the washing machine. When it was pointed out that these were not the right rugs, she said she didn’t know what is a drying rock. My mother then just told her to put the rugs back. After she left the house, my mother noticed a light was left on in the basement and went down to turn it off. She also found the door was left open to the unheated basement. I called the franchise owner, told him what occurred and asked why they would send a sick caregiver to care for an elderly person. I then asked to replace her. On 7 Jan 20, Home Helpers sent a new person who arrive 45 minutes late and by her own admission was a heavy smoker and reaked of smoke. My mother immediately asked her to leave before it triggered an asthma attack. I immediately called the owner and instead of being alarmed and wanting to correct the problems, he just said he didn’t think this is going to work. I immediately cancelled service with the company. I believe the home care provided by Home Helpers was very poor and actually put my mother at risk of getting sick or falling. The franchise owner states the people working for him are all his employees and well trained, but the reality is he doesn’t have enough quality people. I would not recommend this company for any home care for your loved one.

They have done some of the things that I would have had to do without them. It really has taken a load off. The people selected have been outstanding.

She came twice a week. The most helpful part of the services was just the interest and care she had for him. I appreciated the personal compassion.

They could have the girls not be on their cell phones when they're here. They have good communication.

It was a tremendous help because I had a chance to get out and do something for myself. The woman who came out didn't have a cell phone, so she couldn't keep in touch with me.

I couldn't have done without the services. They were there to help me every time I needed them. I was the only other one in the house to take care of my husband. They were efficient and did everything that they were asked and able to do. They did it well, and they were compassionate.

They are so good that my daughter started getting them. I think they are excellent, and I am pleased with them. I like everything because they try so hard to please and accommodate me. They are very considerate.

They are companions. They take me to the doctors and to the grocery store. They are friendly when they come in. They are neat, tidy, and helpful.

They have someone to care for my mom when I can't be there. I like that they are responsive and always communicate if there are any changes. I am very happy with our primary caregiver.

It has my life much better. They have helped the most by giving me a shower. They know what they are doing.

It takes the burden off of me to occupy my wife so I can do things on my own. I like the convenience and the general attitude of the people involved.

It's very helpful. They help me catch up on things I'm not able to get to. I have a caregiver that comes in and does the things in my house that I am not able to do. I think they do a very good job.

She makes my life easy and nice. She does everything for me. She gets everything I want and takes me anywhere I want.

They clean the house. The lady that comes does a fantastic job.

They help just by being here to take care of my parents, and that allows me to take some time off. They're very nice people and are very well trained.

The caregivers are very helpful. They listen to me and my needs. I would like the caregivers to cook for me sometimes.

They do what I ask them to do. I think if someone chose them, they would make a good choice. They help me with things that I need help with.

I like the caregiver who is assigned to my mother's care because works well with my mother. They take care of my mother at home so I don't have to put her in a nursing home.

They were easy to get a hold of, they came out right away, and everyone has been nice to us. The only problem I have is when they don't have someone available. It seems like that they don't have enough staff. When they are here, it helps take the care off of me so that I can work.

They have been very responsive. They work 24/7 so they are always able to get back to me. They are very accommodating with choosing caregivers. They are able to provide good quality care. If Cheryl can't make it, they always provide someone else for us.

The CNAs are very nice and efficient by fulfilling my request and needs. I had a stroke so I don't have use of my left hand; they help me get dressed, shower, exercise, and just get me going.

The person in charge of Home Helpers was very conscientious and thorough. He came to the house in the beginning and assessed the type of care she needed. Home Helpers should've been a little more proactive about communicating about what needs to be done. The caregiver could've checked with us before doing anything that the client asked them to do.

So far, there has been no negative experience. The first caregiver who came just didn't connect, so they gave us two other caregivers, and these two are both great. William doesn't do anything on his own. When he goes up to the shower and comes back down, they remind him of all that he has to do. They make sure everything's done.

This latest one, my caregiver does everything before I even think of it. She's right there,m takes care of me, cleans around me, and just cares. Everything about it is easier. My caregiver makes my meals, she'll help me dress, shower, and I couldn't get in the tub at all if she didn't help me. She makes my bed, cleans around me, reminds me to take my pills, and she's good all around.

Home Helpers is good at working with you with your schedule. Home Helpers caregivers give my loved one that feeling of being safe.

I wish I could afford more hours with Home Helpers. Home Helpers has done more than they promised.

Home Helpers has such superb workers. They have provided my mother with wonderful services. The caregivers are very understanding and empathetic. Home Helpers makes my life easier by having a caregiver who looks after my mother while I go to work. It makes me feel at ease while I am working.

Nothing against the work itself, but I probably wouldn't recommend an outside group like Home Helpers to others. I don't feel comfortable recommending someone to go to a friend's house because I risk being wrong about the services. The services correct problems for me.

Nobody is perfect, but the caregivers help with everything. They help with basic things, laundry, and food. I didn't think the caregivers have had to do much companionship.

My caregiver does not know how to cook, and she is not very smart. I have to ask her to get up and do any work. Having Home Helpers right now is more of a burden because my caregiver is not very good, but its also hard to find caregivers to work with me because I smoke.

I would tell someone that Home Helpers is responsive, and the caregivers are qualified. The caregivers from Home Helpers are with the client 24/7, and he wouldn't be able to function without the care.

I would tell them that I am satisfied with Home Helpers. Home Helpers has made my life easier by having someone help me take care of my husband.

Home Helpers makes it so I don't have to deal with any paperwork, they take care of that. Overall, Home Helpers has made a difference, but my husband still does a lot of the care because my caregivers are only here three hours a day, five days a week.

I've only dealt with Home Helpers for about a month, but they have been very accommodating, and are diligent about finding a good match for my mom. My mom is able to stay at home, rather than go into a facility.

I would tell a friend that Home Helpers is pretty good about addressing the issues we have. They accommodate my schedule well. They're a good company and I'm happy with them. The services from Home Helpers free me up so I can go to work.

I would recommend Home Helpers because they are absolutely the best because they give excellent care. They are very friendly and on top of this, they do their work very well. I cannot tell you one thing that I am dissatisfied with, and I'm being sincere. Home Helpers has helped me in every way. They are kind, do exactly what I want them to do, and they do it excellently.

I would tell someone that I've visited very nice people in the office who are very competent. My caregiver is very good. I couldn't do without the services.

Home Helpers is a good service and it is the right price. I am pleased with it. Home Helpers is there to help me recover.

We have been using Home Helpers for about a month now. The caregivers are very good, and I have no complaints. We have caregivers every evening for my husband, and he is very much compatible with the caregivers that he has. They caregivers take their time. They are patient. They know what they are doing. Their communication is very good. They are very much worth recommending to others.
