"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. "

"A caregiver from Optimum Senior Care takes care of my mother. She has Alzheimer's. They were so accommodating. They were able to find us an Italian speaking caregiver since my mother only speaks Italian now. They've always worked with us on the flexibility of their schedule. Originally, I only needed them a couple of days a week and now we've bumped it up. I found them online, and they turned out to be great. They're really willing to help you with your situation. They've been very easy to work with and I would highly recommend them. "

"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. "

"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."

"My experience with Avesena has been very nice. The nurses are very good at what they do. They check my blood pressure and medication. I've had them for some time now. I'm glad they're around and the girls are very nice. "

"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."

"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."

"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. "
