"Charmaine, the owner of Always Best Care, is amazing. Before my dad needed a caregiver, I asked Charmaine if she would meet with him to describe the types of services they provide. My dad instantly loved her. She spent a long time with him describing the services they provide but also recognizing how difficult this situation is and showing great compassion. When we needed her after he broke his hip, her agency quickly stepped into action and for months, Charmaine provided my dad with excellent caregivers and the quality of service I had hoped for. She gave my dad and my whole family peace of mind. I highly recommend Charmaine and her agency. "

"Our mom received in home health care from Home Helpers for 15 months from February, 2023 through her passing in May, 2024. We were blessed with a consistent team of caring, concerned, competent and compassionate caregivers over that time period. When we first started using Home Helpers, my mom had been discharged from a 30 day stay in rehab after covid and pneumonia. For the 1st 30 days, we had 24/7 care with shifts of caregivers. For the next year we went back to 16 hour care. During that time, mom's health and activity level dramatically increased, and the caregivers and mom became a great team going to viist friends, going to cultural events together, the beauty parlor, library and other places, in addition to meaningful time together in mom's condo. They helped her with her physical therapy and kept her active and engaged. As mom's health was declining in her last days, the caregivers worked diligently and professionally with the hospice team that we had for mom. My sister and I as well as my kids all lived out of town. however, we kept in close contact with mom and the caregivers, on the phone, through texts and multiple visits over the 15 month period of time. These women were spectacular. Having Tom and his team with mom during the twilight of her life gave our family tremendous comfort and confidence knowing that even though we were "in and out" visiting, that she was in great hands. i don't even want to think about what her last 15 months would have been like without Tom and the caregivers we had."

"I chose Comforcare Senior Services because they were there when I needed them. I like the people. They are very nice. I get along with them just fine. All of them can drive, and they can take you places. They all care for me very nicely. They are the best that I could find. "

"The skilled nurse and care givers they provided were wonderful. They were vigilant and helpful with my very sick best friend and as POA, I was looking for round the clock care. Broad street went above and beyond to deliver that care with little advance notice. My friend could no longer stay at home, but these people call to ask how she's doing all the time."

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.
