"We used Senior Helpers in Southwest Connecticut for just two weeks. We only needed somebody to help bathe my son because he could not get into the tub or a shower. So, he was getting just a sponge bath. That's all because he feeds himself, I cook, and I do everything. I didn't need any help with housework or shopping or anything like that. I just needed somebody to give him a sponge bath, and they were very good. I just got billed after two weeks. The scheduling was fine. I would recommend them. The person I had was on time. She helped me as much as I needed help. I just got her for three hours, which was more than enough, because what I just needed was somebody for one hour."

"I had surgery and needed last minute care unexpectedly. This company responded right away. The owner is fantastic and the aids are excellent. I highly recommend them for anyone who needs CNA services."

"We are using Elder Home Care for my mom. They've been great at getting us the particular aides that we are looking for. My mom requires 24-hour care, so they've been wonderful. We originally started with just a couple of hours, mainly on the weekends. Once my mother needed 24-hour care, they got us to aides who would provide 24-hour care. My mom is at high risk of falling, so they watch her for that. My mother is pretty independent, so they are just to watch her do her normal day-to-day activities. They do help her with exercises and walking. They are making sure she walks and exercises during the day so that she doesn't just sit around."

"My mother was a client of Love and Care from 2020 until her recent passing in March, 2024. The caregivers they provided were kind, caring, reliable, trustworthy and professional. After having a few part-time caregivers who alternated days, it was felt by both Bruce, who is one of the owners, and myself that due to her progressing dementia, my mother would benefit from the consistency of one 24/7 caregiver. Bruce was always accommodating, showing much concern and compassion, and worked with me in the interest of meeting my mother’s needs. He then provided us with Tina, who gave exceptional care to my mother in every way. Her patience, kindness, concern, interpersonal and nursing skills as well as her ability to engage and soothe my mother during occasionally challenging times gave me and my family comfort and assurance that she was always safe and very well-cared for. Tina took care of all of my mother’s needs and even prepared wholesome and delicious meals daily for her, which resulted in my mother’s health and appearance improving. I am very grateful to Love and Care and highly recommend this agency to anyone seeking excellent care for their loved ones. Laurie G."

"Right at Home helped my mom and aunt in Mount Kisco. The staff was very helpful and the caregivers were very dependable. Barretta was an absolute gem! She was caring, compassionate and very kind to my mom and her dog Sadie. Thank you for the great help and we highly recommend working with this office for personal care services."

"I'm working with Right at Home. They're like saviors. My friend is 90, and she is very, very difficult, and they're amazing with her. What happened was my friend was on her own in the apartment; she lives by herself. She fell and went to the hospital, and the hospital said, 'You can't go home alone, you need 24-hour coverage.' We hired Right at Home to come and do that. I interviewed them before that in anticipation that we might need somebody to come in, so I knew of the organization. I was impressed by the interview, so much so that when this happened, we just called Right at Home and they got people to come in 24 hours. My friend got better and so we were able to cut that back. Now, one of those 24-hour people has continued to work Monday through Friday seven hours a day. This woman is wonderful. My friend loves her. She's really terrific. She absolutely loves this woman that is helping her now. She's very, very comfortable. I know that more and more she allows the caregiver more exposure to her needs, so it's very good really. Also the staff at this particular office in White Plains are really superior. The way they handle everything is just incredible. I can't compare them to anyone else but I don't really need to because they have been so helpful to me just having to deal with a person that has dementia. They'll spend time on the phone with me; they really are terrific."

"We are working with STEPS Home Care for two months now. They're excellent. I never had any problems with the caregivers. They come on time, they're very cooperative, and they're very good with my wife. So far, so good. They help my wife with showering, they walk with her, they do small chores in the house, and they help change her diapers. They were the first to call. They're very cooperative and very nice. Scheduling and billing are excellent."

"The staff at Home Instead are very efficient and they truly care about finding the perfect care giver for your loved one. Shelly has worked as my mother’s caregiver for several years. My mother is 87 with Parkinson’s and my family can no longer be of help to care for her. The resilience and care that Shelly bestows to my mother is incredible. Through the emotional ups and downs of my mother’s illness, Shelly has proven to be an outstanding care giver. I appreciate her taking the utmost care to ensure my mother is safe and loved."

"Agency provide service to connect a home aide that suits the need of an elder dementia patient. There were issues in the beginning but through diligence a qualified caregiver was placed to assist my Mom. Their determination is recognized and appreciated. If issue arises the agency is extremely quick at sorting these out."

"Under the the care of Marni and Greg Altfest, we have had an excellent experience with Home Instead. The women that looked after, and eventually befriended our mother, were kind, competent, compassionate and reliable. We were so lucky to have such special, deeply caring people in our lives. Over many years, they enriched our mother's life immeasurably. Marni and Gregg made sure that we consistently had the care that we needed, often through very difficult and frequently changing times. Our family is deeply thankful."
