"My social worker told me about Circle of Life in Peoria. Their care is very good. I have not been with them very long so we're still getting acquainted. You have to look at them for their vantage point for the patient and they are patient oriented. And I know the one taking care of me now will fall through if the need comes up. The manager is wonderful and that's very important, that they listen to your needs. If a change needs to be made, they don't drill you or give you a hard time. They accept you with a lot of respect and they're very kind. That's my experience with them so far and I've only been with them a couple of months. I would recommend this to everyone. "

"I fell and broke my ankle. My caregiver Summer was the best thing that happened to me while I was recovering. Even the owner Jen would call and check in on me. They treated me like family."

"I have been able to find and secure in-home care from Comfort Keepers, so nurses have been coming in 24 hours 7 days a week. I've been using them for about a month now. I'm satisfied with them. The nursing staff have been very nice and very caring to my mother. They help her around the house. The agency itself has been doing the best that they can in filling in people like when certain folks call off or are unable to make it. They do a pretty good job of letting me know what goes on in case there aren't any folks to cover certain shifts. They offer general custodial care like feeding and helping with some activities around the house. I saw different folks that come in but they're all generally helpful. They're all very nice people."

"Right now, Help at Home is providing a person to come over and help my dad with his medication, making sure that he takes his medications. That person also fixes breakfast and light lunch for my dad. We also have someone coming in in the evening to help with dinner and make sure my dad takes his evening meds. They also have a person that has a vehicle that can take him to appointments when we can't go with him. So they also take him to doctor's appointments. They also help with assistance in bathing him, getting him dressed, and helping him clean up the house. They do the chores that he can't do like washing dishes, laundry, mopping the floor, keeping the bathroom and kitchen, and everything is clean. Their coordinator who makes sure that they send the right people out and match them up to the person is pretty accurate and very helpful. We've been fortunate because we haven't had too many staffing issues. There's one person that I wouldn't recommend, and I spoke to the coordinator about her because she called off too many times when my dad needed assistance. So the coordinator agreed with me that that person wasn't a good fit because she wasn't reliable, and we needed that reliable person. So, she took care of the situation and got a replacement."

Our Home Care Professionals include Nurses, CNA's, Homemakers and Companions who understand the special care needs of the people we serve and take a personal interest in helping them lead an enriched life.

"It's been about a 2-month period. So far Helping Hands has been good. They assigned us a young man and he gets along with my father well. He's there three days a week from noon till about 4:00. He does different things around the house and he also drives, so they're getting along quite well. They seem to hit it off right away. "

"We have been using Visiting Angels. They're providing experienced caregivers, some of whom are CNAs, and others are not. The management has struggled to get us consistent people to staff the shift, but after three months they've gotten it done. So, I applaud their efforts to do that. It probably took all of two months to get consistent staffing. What we're using them for is help with mobility, supporting my father when he has to walk to the bathroom, helping him get up in the morning, helping him get ready for bed at night, helping my stepmother, and also helping with occasional snacks for him; no real medical care. I think it's $28.50 an hour. It is expensive, so there's no question about it. If we didn't have the VA, we would have to find some caregivers. I have found caregivers for $10 an hour, CNAs that would be happy to come in, but I've left it with Visiting Angels because the VA is covering it. And having it with Visiting Angels, their people manage schedules, they handle all the invoicing to the VA, and they handle all the details."

"Good in everything she does for me! She also builds up my morale! Cleaning is great since I have a right hand that I can't use also the right arm. "
