"We used Synergy Home Care of Cheshire last year. The response was very good. I contacted them on the phone and the next day, I had an appointment and we met and discussed my father's needs. They had a few people that would kind of fit the bill with my father and his temperament. In a matter of a couple of days, they had the situation with my father covered. The first person didn't quite work out with my father, but the second person worked out very well. We only used them for four weeks."

"I’ve been using MB Home Care for live-in care for my husband since March, 2024 and am very pleased with the quality of service and attention to filling his needs. I have also recommended this agency to friends who have also hired them. The owner hears what you need, listens to your concerns and is hands on for any issue that might arise. I give them a 5-star rating. Leslie, Wallingford"

"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."

"Right now, I have somebody from Right at Home Middle Connecticut for a week, 24/7. It's one person, and she'll move on to her next assignment when she's done here. The kids just wanted me to have somebody here 24/7 when I first came home from rehab. She's here to make sure that I don't fall and that I have someone if I need anything, like heating some lunch, and that kind of thing. Just making sure that I'm careful and don't get hurt. It's nothing like the bathroom kind of stuff, because I'm able to get in and out of the shower, and the actual bathroom. I've had her since last Saturday, and she'll be here until this coming Saturday. I think what the agency does is very good, so I'm giving a happy review."

"Synergy Homecare of Trumbull CT has been an amazing comfort for my husband and me. We had tried other agencies and they all had negative issues and events occur with us. When the Veterans Administration wanted us to try one more I was hesitant but once I talked to Erica I felt comfortable and hopeful. Our caregiver Sheila is energetic - compassionate - patient - everything I am praying for to be ok with my husband when I am at work. Sheila makes sure he takes his meds - gets his food and drinks and does a perfect job with the laundry and home organization. I am truly grateful. I would absolutely recommend the Trumbull office for your family's needs. The agency has been responsive to any requests I have called with. If someone is sick or needs a day off they will send a suitable substitute for the day."

The best part is that we trust them and feel a sense of relief knowing they are there. My Mom enjoys their company as well! "

"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."

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
