"I knew a lady who works for Always Best Health Care that's why I chose it. The caregiver is very good with a very good attitude. They were able to provide the caregiver for myself immediately. She accompanies me to shopping. "

"My caregiver arrives on time. She is very knowledgeable on cares, techniques needed with my care. She is very self motivate and can see what needs to done, but asks what I want done. I'm so happy he set this up. She is a god sent. I'm in a wheelchair so help with personnel care is great. She does home chores I'm not able to do. She gives my husband a couple hours for himself. This takes a lot off my mine."

"I live across the country from my Grandmother, whom I call Grams. My Grams has Alzheimer's and she says very nasty things to the care providers. They are so kind to her, even when she's being awful. When she had an accident, Home Instead took her to the hospital. They saved her life. I cannot imagine a more dedicated group of people. Thanks to them, I still have my Grams."
