"We have found Always Best Care and are happy with them. There was some difficulty with availability of people and scheduling. One of the caregivers made a serious mistake. However, after everything was straightened out, they have been great. For four hours, one day a week, a caregiver comes and helps my mother who has Alzheimer's take a bath and gives her a manicure. The caregivers are good. They were conveniently located. I went and had a personal meeting with the owner of the company and thought she was very impressive. She then came to the home to meet my mother and my parents; we liked that. We thought that was professional and helpful. From then on, we have worked with a scheduler and the caregiver. I think it's a very reliable and well-run agency, and we're very pleased at this point with the service. "

"I've know Tom and Joy for a long time. I had been in an automobile accident and I was badly hurt and I lost the use of one hand and arm. I was in a cast for 7 months with my right hand and I'm a right handed person. I was not able to do a lot of things. I had trouble dressing and putting on shoes and socks. I was a very active person and all of a sudden I had cast from my finger tips up to my shoulder. I had 3 surgeries. I was really not in good shape and needed somebody to help me around the house and to help me personally with my clothing and dressing, showers and washing my hair. Home Helpers helped me around the house. They didn't do any heavy cooking and cleaning. They just keep things tidy and make me clean. I had two caregivers. One came around 7.30 to 8:00 in the morning and stayed till 1:00 in the afternoon. When she's up, the second girl came and leave late in the afternoon or around supper time. They both had cars and they took me shopping if I needed it. They helped me pay my bills and checked on things for me. I was in a cast for a long time and I lost the ability to do a lot of things. If you can't hold a pen, you can't do much. They help me if I go the the bank. I spent the evenings alone and I was able to handle things with neighbors that came in. I had a lot of help. The two caregivers I had were outstanding people. They're clean and honest and helpful in many ways. They guided me around and made sure I can get in and out of the car when we're out. The girls were just fantastic. They became very good friends of mine and were with me for quite a long time. I was in therapy and the girls would still come by and check up on me. They were helpful all the way around and their personalities are great. I have no complaints about anything. They are wonderful people. Joy and Tom are top notch people. They setup something on my door so if I had an emergency of some kind, all I have to do is press the button. I had no worries. They're are just terrific people. "

"I was looking through several websites to find a caregiver for my mom and dad. They needed somebody more for companion care but who also had the ability and willingness to sometimes just get my mom out of the house, help with the laundry which is down in the basement, get her to the grocery store, etc. Fortunately, my mom's doctor recommended Synergy and it's been a great experience. Paul and his wife Shelley were incredibly responsive to my inquiry, set up a home meeting with my family to make sure we were comfortable with their practice and also brought one of his caregivers to help my mom and dad feel at ease since they really "didn't need help". Needless to say, once Maurine engaged with my mom and dad, they have found that they do in fact need help and Maurine always leaves them a meal ready to go when she leaves, taking a burden off of my sisters and me. I highly recommend Synergy and Maurine and am so glad I was referred to them. "

"My brother and I went to the ComforCare office and one thing I like is that they provide live-in abiding care. It's one thing that other providers do not have. So we started their service for my mother initially. She had long since passed and we used them now for my sister who has down-syndrome. They send out different caregivers but sometimes they send out same ones. Each one has their own personality. They're pretty good at what they do. They guide my sister to get out of bed and make breakfast for her. They do just fine. "

"Yvonne is a dream. I am a disabled mother of 3 college kids who can’t walk or drive. She is helping me with the basic ADLs ( I disliked having my 24-year-old son help me put on my bra!) On top of being a kind and friendly “master of the basics,” Yvonne is helping me move forward with goals for my house. I want to discard a lot of my accumulated junk. (15 years of 3 kids). I know that when we enter a room together, we will leave it in a much neater state because of Yvonne’s help. She has never made me feel embarrassed about my clutter, being a mom herself. But she is great at helping me sort through things . I almost hate to say that I don’t want to share her because she is such a perfect caregiver, but I would say that she would fit in well at every household, in lots of different situations. "

From the very beginning, we wanted to keep things simple. We wanted to provide the most personalized service available, so our clients could stay at home comfortably for as long as they choose. After taking a look at how home care was structured both at home and around the world, we found one resounding theme among home care recipients: people want consistency and customization. For this reason, we implemented our One-Client One-Caregiver Concept and assigned each client to their own Care Coordinator. We went a step further by keeping case loads for Care Coordinators as small as possible, so that they have ample time to get to know all of their clients. In line with our mission to provide the highest degree of personalization, all of our Care Coordinator are available to clients, their families, and caregivers 24/7. They manage and update each client’s ever-changing care plan, communicate with caregivers, and make home visits as frequently as ne cessary. Our One-Client One-Caregiver Concept is an extension of our emphasis on customization and consistency. After an initial assessment and caregiver placement, we focus on keeping the same caregiver or team of caregivers in place. In this manner, the same, knowledgeable staff is ever-present and random caregivers are never sent. Should there ever be a change in the regular caregivers for any reason, the Care Coordinator or Primary Caregiver will personally introduce the new caregiver to the client. Our client’s comfort is our top priority and we believe home care should not be characterized by a revolving door of providers.
