"We are using the caregivers for the evening time hours. They help my mother with her night time routine and getting ready for bed. They are very prompt and are always pleasant and happy to be there. We have been there several times while the caregiver has been there- they are always expressing their willingness to help in any way with my mother. The administrative staff has been very helpful with my recent request to decrease the hours that we will use the caregivers. They have called and kept me updated on what the status is of the change."

"We're using SYNERGY HomeCare of North Leon County for my father. He needs assistance with getting dressed, bathing, and feeding. I feel like the majority of the caregivers that I've dealt with are experienced and pretty much know what to do. Communication with the agency is very good. Scheduling is very good. Any time that I have a change, they're very flexible in making the change and working with them. I try to get with them in time, but there have been a couple of times where I was in a pinch and they were able to come through for me. Whenever I call there, there's always a person that answers the phone and that to me is important. The higher-ups or the people that run the service call periodically just to check and make sure that everything's going well and that you're satisfied with their service. They have very good customer service."

"This was the first time using Visiting Angels and I highly recommend them. I used them for transportation to my doctor's appointment. My caregiver was early, patient, pleasant, respectful, professional and dedicated to the craft. In addition, the staff was pleasant and patient. It's comforting to to have this service available to those that need it."

"We have been using Caring Connections since September. They help bathe my mom, change her when she needs to be changed, do medication reminders, prepare lunch and dinner for her, and do light housekeeping, like cleaning the kitchen, her room, sheets, and laundry. My mom is very comfortable with her caregivers. She likes to tell us all the time that she is going to keep them and get rid of us. There is always somebody there when they say they will be there, and their billing is very easy. They send out an invoice every two weeks, and I just mail the check in. I like the fact that they are family owned and operated right there in Tallahassee, which to me is a big deal. I like that I can call at anytime of the day if something happens to my mother and I am always talking to one of the owners. Their caregivers are great. We have been through a lot together. When she fell in November and shattered her ankle, I called them and they were able to come out and help me get her to the hospital. They have been great taking her to rehab and physical therapy, making sure that they are doing what they need to do so that she does not have to worry about it. I don’t know where we would be right now if it wasn’t for them."

"This agency provided last minute care to my mother as she was unexpectedly in the hospital for an injury. Not only did the agency visit her there and provided a Cargiver in the hospital, but immediately afterwards at home so that we could know she was being cared for. I would recommend this agency when looking for in home care."

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Tallahassee:

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times 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.
