Home Care Reviews for Wisdom Eldercare

A heartfelt thank you for rescuing us when we needed immediate 24x7 in-home help caring for a family member in a health crisis! Getting help that fast was a miracle, and Ricky and Tai both did an outstanding job of monitoring the situation, lending a hand wherever they could, speaking up in a helpful way to assist with care decisions, and being patient and kind with all of us in a time of extreme stress. Absolutely recommended!

Wisdom Eldercare has been amazing to work with. From the time that my husband needed 24/7 care, to the time that he needed just day care, to now that he needs care on a when needed basis, Wisdom has come through with wonderful caregivers. Anthony has been with my husband from the beginning, when he needed 24/7 care until present day when we need help on a when needed basis. He is a professional in every sense of the word, has a wonderful attitude and is just the kind of person that my husband has needed all along. We are so thankful that we met him and that he continues to help my husband. We highly recommend Wisdom to anyone who needs home care.

Wisdom Eldercare has done a wonderful job providing for my father’s 24 hour care. His caregivers are true professionals - timely, dependable, knowledgeable and kind. In addition, the Wisdom Eldercare staff’s responsiveness has been truly exemplary. Whenever there’s been an issue, the staff has come up with a timely and good solution. My family has been grateful to be working with an organization like Wisdom Eldercare.

Wisdom Eldercare found a caregiver that was perfectly compatible with my mom. The caregiver that worked with my mom provided great companionship and helped my mom get through a difficult time. You can tell she truly cared. The caregiver was extremely reliable and always showed up on time. I highly recommend Wisdom Eldercare!
Provider Response

I owe my life to Michelle, who works for Wisdom Elder Care. I became critically ill when my husband died. When I understood that I needed help, I fortunately contacted Wisdom Elder Care for this help. The person they provided for me got me through many critical episodes. I ended up needing a Liver Transplant. Michelle stayed with me before, throughout and my final recovery. She was efficient, capable and sympathetic. The office was highly professional a pleasure to deal with. I would very much advise anyone who needs help to use their services.
Sincerely,
Arlene Brash

We are so glad you are doing well and are thankful to Michelle for her dedication to going above and beyond for you and all of her clients at Wisdom. To life! Sincerely, Gina LaPalio-Lakin Owner/CEO
Geriatric Care Manager Reviews for Wisdom Eldercare

We employed the services of two different Geriatric Care Managers from Wisdom ElderCare. They were both highly professional and compassionate. Because our family members live scattered across the country, it was very helpful to have a point person in place to help with communication and decision making. And they helped us, and our mother, all the way through the difficult ending during COVID. They were very responsive and supportive. Best decision ever.
