"Benchmark Home Health Care took care of my dad really well. They would come in and give him a shower. He always liked them; they worked with him really well. They had a nurse come in and check on him, and they would call me if they determined something or if they noticed anything. They always checked his blood pressure, and if they noticed anything, they would actually call me. They also did some therapy for him, and they were good with him. If one person was not there, they would send somebody else and would let me know somebody else was coming. Otherwise, it was pretty much the same people who always came to see him. The same one helped him in the shower, the same one would always come to check him medically (like a couple of times they found something wrong with his heel; it was cracking and bleeding, and they got the doctor and dressed the wounds). They took care of him very well."

"We used Optimum Senior Care in the past for my mother in-law, but she already passed away so we don't need their services anymore. We were happy with them. Everything just worked out very good. Anna was always there whenever we want to talk to her or had any questions. The caregivers were awesome and they really got along with my mother in-law. We were really happy and I cannot complain. Even at this point, when someone asks me, I can highly recommend them. We had a couple of interviews when we started with them. We didn't need a lot of time to find the best fit for my mom. I think it was the second caregiver who worked full time, Monday to Friday. We had someone over the weekend. It worked out fine for us. "

"My doctor found Home Healthcare for me. It took two to three days to get a caregiver from them. I've been using them for three weeks. The nurse comes once a week, and the therapists come twice a week. The nurse manages my pills. They are friendly and call before they come. They're good, very nice, and reliable."

"The great thing about HCN is that they don't treat their patients like clients but more like friends as they formed a relationship with my loved one and my family as well. They were very active in checking up on my mother and our family to and sure we were doing great. They have given my mother the best care she could have!"

"This private company is owned and run by an R.N. She is an excellent business woman, but more importantly, a giving and caring person. I believe she and her entire multidisciplinary staff are all from the Phillipines. That culture has a history of respecting family, especially elders. The country is also known for its excellent nurses. I utilized their Nursing and Physical Therapy services, after they were literally "prescribed" by my physician, specifically to this company. Thus far I have only two suggestions : they SHOULD NOT show a preference for Medicare, merely because they ask for less "paperwork". Medicare, unlike private insurance companies that are more diligent in documentation, is an agency of the federal government. We all know how well the government "manages" our money. It is not impressive. The second issue, has been complaints or hesitancy from all, at this company, regarding visiting certain areas because of parking worries. This is NOT the fault of patients. This is the company responsibility. "

"Carefirst Home Health was recommended by my aunt. Their service is really great. The nurse that comes to see me does a great job. "

"thehaver he caregivers at CompMed are only interested in themselves . They are mean and disrespectful and threaten to leave elderly clients alone. Marisa has been the most manipulative. I am so disappointed with the lack of care and compassion that I have received from CompMed at every level. "

"My choice would be Elmhurst Home Health In Illinois. They are very "in tune" with your needs, very caring, & follow up with you. This is my story. I've been invited to a memorial service in April, & they called & told me about it. My story: My dad passed away from Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He didnt want to go thru chemo again (he was 93). He wanted to die at home. I did my best to keep him comfortable, got him Netflix of all old movies unitl he lost control of his legs. He was then bedboung and seemed to lose interest in everything. he had no appetite except for hot cereal early in the day. We had home health nurses check on him twice a week. Things just went from bad to worse, & he slept constantly. I think he picked his own time to go. I took a nap at 6:30pm, & by 7,my husband woke me and said he was gone. I stayed there crying & holding his hand until Home Health arrived and made the arrangements. I still have the pangs of guilt. Why did I take a nap? I still havent gotten over it, he passed 6 mos ago. I still have crying jags that last for hours. I miss him terribly. "
