"I have hired Families 1st Care. The first lady they sent out didn't work for me, so they sent another one, and she is working fine. She drives me to the doctor, she makes me meals, she makes my bed, and she tidies the house for me. The billing and scheduling is working fine, and the caregiver is very helpful."
