"We used Always Best Care for my mother. They provided basically anything we needed a few hours a week, they were very thorough in asking about my mother's condition, and what were the needs that were required. It's more like bathing, medication, and companionship. We used them for about a week."

"I contacted Home Instead to care for my father who has the beginning signs of Alzheimers. My mother is the primary caregiver for him but she's overwhelmed and I see it's taking it's toll on her. Because my siblings and I live so far away, the only solution to the problem was to hire a Home Health agency. When I called I got the owner directly and after explaining our situation I felt more at ease and confident that they had the right people to handle my father."

"I'm using Homewatch Caregivers of Bristol-Farmington. It's 16 hours a day, five days a week. There are two different people. The service has been supportive and helpful in navigating and managing the time shifts and having consistency with the homecare for my mother at home. They offer homecare services. The homecare provider that's in the home also helps to run errands, does light housekeeping, also takes my mom to appointments and run groceries or errands. It's helpful to have someone who cannot only care for her in helping to make meals and helping to manage her mobility in the home, but also able to assist with errands outside of the house. The aides have been helpful, friendly, and also have been consistent in caregiving and support. They've been pretty flexible and very respectful in how they're handling the care for my mom."

"We are using Always Best Care of Western Connecticut. They're good. At this point, my husband just needs companion care. They don't have to do a lot for him, but I just want someone there. I have been using them. It was recommended by a couple of other people. The caregiver is very good. She's talkative, and she is prompt. Always Best Care is caring, and I can rely on them to always have somebody to cover. Their billing and scheduling are very good. They send a bill in the mail. I feel comfortable with them, and they're reliable. I would recommend them to other friends or family members."

"Home Instead is a quality care giving support company. I have been associated with them for about a year after experiencing some disappointments with another agency and could not be happier. Home Instead comes to your house to access your situation and then follows through with careful selection of caregivers suited to your needs. In my case, it is a husband with Alzheimers whose needs are ever increasing. Home Instead establishes a regular, weekly routine for continuity. The people who schedule (and the whole staff) help are enormously helpful and courteous. They do everything they can to provide substitutes when necessary. I fortunately have the "perfect" combination of caregivers who are patient, caring and kind with my husband. Home Instead is made up of a compassionate group of people (staff and caregivers alike), some of whom have been with the company for years. I have experienced no constant turn over of caregivers. Most impressive is the support given by of the owner and staff when difficult situations may arise with the clients. I honestly cannot say enough in supporting this company."

"Do not trust the care of anyone you love to Right at Home in Wethersfield, CT. I wish l could go back in time and prevent all the horrible experiences my family had with aides that did not even show up at the house. There was no need for my family to endure this experience. Take heed."

"Caregiving At Home, personal professional staff appears knowledgeable and very well trained, they are very reasonable to my needs and respects and provide me with overall excellence care. I have tried other Home care agents and find them significantly inferior to Caregiving At Home "
