"For the third time in a year, I’ve needed short term assistance to help get me through a medical situation. I knew I could count on Home Helpers, so I called upon them right away. The management team quickly put together a plan to meet my needs. I’ve found the caregivers to be kind and capable. I’m back to being independent, but won’t hesitate to call upon Home Helpers again if the need arises. I will also refer them to others."

"We give our caregiver the highest marks. She is punctual, cheerful and very helpful. After completing her duties, she does other helpful tasks, staying busy until the end of her shift. She is always neatly dressed."

"Our experience with 1776 has been extremely positive! My mother was in need of additional home care, and it has been a great fit. Carissa was extremely thorough and professional at the introductory meeting, and was able to find a fantastic caregiver match for my mom. Pat has been incredibly patient and empathetic with my mom. She is always on time and ensures that she eats healthy meals; is bathed safely; takes her medicine; and plays mental games too. She even made time to walk to Dairy Queen with her! Nat has ensured that all the invoice billings were timely and accurate. I would highly recommend 1776 for anyone that has a loved one with home care needs!"
