"They are very competent. The caregiver they have sent to us has been extremely helpful. They care for my husband, like I would care for him."

Exceptional in-home care doesn’t just happen – that’s why Home Helpers invests in providing dependable, compassionate care by using the most qualified and compatible caregivers. Most people want to be where they are comfortable, whether that means seniors, or those recovering from illness who want to be back in their own home. Our caregivers make sure they can do that, being there to provide the extra care that's needed. All our caregivers are level 2 background screened, bonded and insured. Each has ongoing supervision and training to make sure they give the very best service to our clients. They are fully employed – their taxes are paid by the company, there are no contractors and we are NOT a registry. With each new client, we sit down with them to find out as much as we can about them – their likes and dislikes, their requirements and their personality – then we try to match them with the most suitable caregiver so that family members can be reassured that their loved one is happy. We can meet with them at their home (even if they are in assisted living and just want some additional help there), or in hospital or rehab facilities if families want to plan a loved one’s return home in advance of them being discharged. Our caregivers are trained in, and are experienced in the care of clients with a variety of conditions including Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, stroke, etc. We can be there from just an hour or two per week, right up to 24/7 care – there are no minimum hours. You only pay us for the hours we are there. If the client is a veteran, or the surviving spouse of a veteran we may also be able to assist them in obtaining a benefit that could cover their care costs. We also combine our care with technology – for our caregivers, there is an automated telephony service to ensure they check in and out on time. This means we know very quickly if there is a problem or delay and can make arrangements to send a back-up caregiver if necessary. We offer 24/7 monitoring pendants so that in the event that your loved one needs help when no-one else is with them, they can push a button and help will be on the way. We also offer automated medication management systems which will remind the client when to take medication and will send an alert to the central care center if the medication is not taken – the care center will do a welfare check to make sure the client is ok and remind them again to take their meds. Our services include: Light housekeeping Laundry Personal care (bathing/dressing/feeding, transferring, etc) Transportation to events or appointments Hospital/hospice sitter Meal preparation – including special diets Shopping Companionship (help with crafts or hobbies, games, conversation, etc) Medication reminders 24/7 monitoring service Partnership with Veterans Care Coordinationv Much more!

"We're using Senior Helpers for three weeks now. They have a minimum of 12 hours a week that you have to schedule and then if you want more, you pay by the hour. It's more for me so that I am free to leave the house and go to my appointments. On Thursday the caregiver was here, and I went and got my taxes figured, and went out to lunch. There's not much care my husband needs, other than to feed him and just make sure he doesn't fall out of the bed or try to get up. But it is just nice knowing that someone is here and he's safe, and I can go and have some free time, so I don't go crazy. They do housekeeping if you ask them to. Like there is one girl and she cleans my bathroom nice. One time I had a sink full of dishes and I asked them to do that, and they did so. They would do cleaning, but I don't think they come in and automatically clean. The caregiver is very nice. She's younger than me; I'm in my 60s. She shows up on time, sits with my husband, and feeds him. I have no complaints. You just give them your debit card when you sign up and then they automatically bill you. You pay two weeks in advance. They require you to give a two weeks notice if you're going to discontinue, so they collect for those two weeks. I think it's $26 an hour, times the 12-hour minimum. So you can either do four hours, three days a week, or you can do three hours, four days a week. I'm doing it three days a week, four hours each time."

"Family Friends Office Staff and Caregivers are absolutely amazing. During this hard time during COVID 19 pandemic the world has been crazy and Family Friends has done their best to make sure that my mom is still getting the care she needs. Due to a shortage of workers across our country right now, they have had to ask us to change the schedule a little bit which is fine because they were still able to accommodate the amount of hours my mom is allotted. They have also been very patient and understanding that we wanted the same caregiver as much as possible and they have worn masks in our home so that mom feels safe. I cannot say enough about how amazing they have been and how they have helped us stay positive and happy during a time that the world is filled with uncertainty. The thing we are most certain about is the Service and care FAMILY FRIENDS HOME CARE provided and still provides. So thank you to Family Friends Staff and owners who have stepped up to not let the level of care change!!!!"

"Bell Caring Services offers a complete home. Life living experiences for adults with special needs in a quiet neighborhood, one family home setting. They offer around the clock care with a friendly and well trained staff. The home has been modified for ease of wheel chair mobility, and features roll in shower. All meals are prepared on site daily. Residents enjoy monthly outings such as bowling, dances, trips to local events and amusement parks. The cleanliness of the home and the residents is immaculate. They offer an open door policy for family visitations and off sight home/weekend/vacation visits. Friendly, caring staff who love what they do. All residents seem happy, content, and well cared for. We used their services for short term and respite over the past 5 years. My daughter was dropped off there and picked up by her county school system while she was in school and then we would pick her up after work. Even though she was there after school, she was always fed and showered when we arrived. My daughter is non vocal and there is another non vocal young lady residing there, and she and my daughter struck a unique friendship communicating in their own way. Still today, we mention her friends name, she smiles. I highly recommend Bell Caring Services. "

"I wasn't impressed by the staff turn over rate. I am a leary of there ability to make sure my mother is staffed properly. "
