The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Glenwood, IA for 2025

"Mere words cannot even begin to express the incredible impact the amazing team at Right at Home Omaha Metro has had for my mom, dad, my sisters and me. Right at home has been providing companion and personal care service for mom for almost a year now. While initially, we started with 10 hours a week to ensure mom was safe while Dad ran errands or attended coffee with friends, our needs have continued to grow. As mom's Alzheimer's has progressed, Right at Home has been right there with us and absolutely amazing in guiding our family through the changes mom is experiencing. We now have Right at Home helping mom about 50 hours a week. I cannot begin to express how comforting it is to know that a Right at Home caregiver is right there by mom's side to help her with daily activities and allowing my Dad to be the husband. The empathy, compassion, support, expertise, and professionalism of the Right at Home team is demonstrated daily throughout the company. The caregivers helping my mom are truly angels from above. They care for my mom like a family member and one caregiver even made my mom a darling "fidgit blanket" that helps calm and soothe her when she becomes agitated. With Right at Home's help, they are adding joy, comfort, support, and peace of mind everyday for our family. Without a doubt, Kristi and her team are delivering on their mission of improving the quality of life for those they serve. The entire team is a blessing and extremely responsive. Through their support, my mom and dad (who will be married 65 years in 2019) are able to stay together in their home until God calls them to his home. "

"Overall it has been pretty good with Hillcrest. They have some staff issues currently going on because they've grown so big, so fast, that they weren't staffed properly for it. But they're resolving those issues, they have new ladies, and it has gone better. I have a CNA who I'm very comfortable with. She's always on time and always friendly. She gets things all done correctly and expeditiously. I liked all the CNAs who've come out. They are all friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely would recommend Hillcrest. The service is very good and they’re easy to work with. "

"We used Visiting Angels for my aunt before she passed away. We had them coming in at six in the evening and staying until ten in the morning. It was a long thing but they were very good. We didn't have the same one every night. They would usually come two nights in a row and then the next night, we have a different group. They were excellent. She really liked them and enjoyed their company. They were young and they interacted well with her. They provide basically assistance, helping her get up and helping her get to the bathroom. If she needed some laundry thrown in the washing machine, they would do that. They would watch TV with her. They would kinda check her through the night. They interacted really well with her and she didn't really want anybody in, but when we got them, she really kinda waited for them to come. She enjoyed visiting with them. For what we got, the pricing was reasonable and the girls did a wonderful job. I think she even had a male one night and that was fine too."

"Very good experience with their care givers "

"I am using Sunlight Senior Care Omaha NE for my husband. They've had a few things that we need to work out. I asked for care from 9:00 to about 3:00, and the caregiver couldn't come until about 9:30. Then sometimes they forget to call me if she is not coming, but I think we worked it out to where they're better now. The current caregiver we have is a very understanding person. She's very committed to my husband's well-being, safety, and health. She's very attentive to him, talks with him, does activities with him, and makes sure that he's happy. We'd all like the price to be really cheap, but you've got to pay the organization and the structure that they work under. Still, I think the value for the money is on par for what I'm getting because I'm really grateful that they can come and help me. They're a very caring organization. They try to resolve any issues that come up. They really listen and try to fit the caregiver to the family that needs the help and make sure that things are going well."
