"Having ReliaCare Home Health coming to me again for the fourth time in 4 years, I decided it was time to write a review. I was assigned ReliaCare when I came out of a rehab center in March 2011 - my first experience with home health. I had a nurse, PT and OT. All three were very skilled and supportive. They worked around my schedule of frequent doctor visits just as I understood that, in turn, I needed to be a little flexible for them as they juggled their schedule of service. It worked fine. In mid 2011, only the nurse was still coming because of a wound that wouldn't heal. It was so disheartening, but not only did Donna take care of the wound as instructed by doctors, she helped me keep positive and also made her own suggestions beyond what the doctors and wound clinic were doing. I will always believe that the final antibiotic which was suggested by the results of blood work Donna recommended is what finally healed the wound. I have needed home health care three additional times, and have always requested ReliaCare and Donna. I am sure the other ReliaCare nurses are equally competent and compassionate, just as all the PTs have been. But sometimes it helps ease the stress to have someone who you already know and trust, and ReliaCare is very good at working to accommodate their patients. I highly recommend them for you or your loved one. "

"Elite Care at Home provided me with a caregiver almost immediately. I have nurses 24/7. I’m comfortable with them. They’re skilled, professional, always caring and so friendly. Aside from that, their customer care and service is wonderful too. So far, so good. I don’t have any complaints. I would recommend them. "

"We are going with Residential Home Health & Hospice - Lisle. They have come out and are trying to get more assistance for my mom, like Meals On Wheels and stuff like that. We have been using them for three months now. A nurse comes in and evaluates my mom. She takes her blood pressure and temperature and sees if she has sores or anything like that. My mom has an occupational therapist and a physical therapist. They gave a lot of recommendations. We just recently got my mom the thing that goes around your toilet to help her stand and give her support. We also got her walker. Then they're doing the actual physical therapy and occupational therapy, trying to strengthen her core and stuff. The occupational therapist and the physical therapist come every other week, so it's twice a month. It's not a whole lot, but it does help. The nurse comes once a month. Medicaid pays for all of it as far as the billing goes."

"My mother has been receiving excellent care from Rochelle for over 2 weeks now. Rochelle has become a reliable, trusted member of our family team. Her skills used in helping my bedbound mother at the end of my mother's life have been outstanding in every way. Rochelle has an exceptional bedside manner as well as top skills in managing my mother in bed with tender loving care. We are so appreciative. Every star available for Rochelle. Dealing with Brightstar overall has been a pleasure. Thank you."

"We have used Alternative Home Health for two months for our parents, but we're still having language issues with the caregivers. There are two caregivers, one who is very good and trying to learn how to cook; unfortunately, he's only there three days a week. The other one we're trying to replace because she can't cook, and her language skills are atrocious. She helped with my father quite a bit, but we need somebody to follow Dad around, like a babysitter, and help him with his bathroom needs and dress him. My mom needs help in the shower and with cooking. I think the cost is expensive. They live there 24/7, and we're housing and feeding them. They're one of the least expensive ones out there."

"Employees seem to be not very well screened. I had several homemakers from this agency and they were all terrible. I had things stolen, was threatened, and none of them did the work they were supposed to do. The agency didn't care - they just sent a body -and did nothing when I complained. I wouldn't recommend this agency to anyone. "

"I had shoulder surgery. They sent me Kelly an RN, Audrey OT, JAY Pt, and Bobbie HHA. They were all fantastic. They understood my needs and they were all compassionate. I would recommend this company for anyone needing help."

"Gets to know client very well. Very responsive to changing needs. Family has good accessibility. "

"We've been using Cure Home Health Care through Medicare. They approved us for five hours five times a week and so far so good. We have one caregiver and mom likes her. "

"Bright Star was flexible in the number of hours you could request. Caregivers were kind and compassionate. Schedulers would work to accommodate yours needs on a moments notice."

"The physical therapist in the hospital called Interim Healthcare and I just went with them. I used their service for six weeks. I had a physical therapist and a nurse came thrice a week. They were wonderful, simply above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend this agency. "

"There was a nurse that came in from Parker Cromwell once a week and a therapist twice a week. The therapy was really good. My mother had a lot of improvement. We used them for about a year; the last time was about two years ago. "

"Midwestern and the regular nurse I had were wonderful. I had a foot problem that was why I needed their help. The nurse came once a week and checked my vital signs everytime. I didn't have any complaints. "
