"My parent has home care now from Home Instead. It was one that was recommended by her primary doctor. We have been using them for about two months now. We're very pleased with the regular person that we have for her. She is fantastic. She would come in two days a week. She does light housekeeping and cooking. She would be there as a companion for my mother. However, with the holiday, there was a substitute who came in her place and she wasn't as good as the regular. We did let the company know though. Overall, the company is very good. "

"As a health care provider myself I was confident about employing the services of Accessible Home Health Care when I needed transportation to a large metropolitan hospital for several follow up visits related to a surgery I had for a severe arm injury. I used their services for over one year. The local transportation I used from Accessible was excellent! I particularly appreciated being able to call them on extreme short notice, getting calls backs immediately and having my transportation needs met within my time frame and they were ALWAYS on time! I wasn't able to drive from March 2014 to July 2014. They were kind and accommodating. The intake appointment was as thorough as a hospital or physician's office. The care plan and everything that came out of that appointment gave me the security I needed. I thought I had a life line with Accessible Home Health Care. "

"Shepard’s Staff provided quality care to my mom for several years as she went from relatively independent, to bedridden and dependent on others. Angela, the office staff, and all of the caregivers were professional, friendly, competent, and truly cared for my mom’s well-being. For my mom, cats are part of the family. My husband and I, the sole caregivers for my mom in our home, could not leave for the weekend if my mom wasn't cared for and if the cats weren't fed. Shephard’s Staff caregivers were willing to provide that extra assistance. With the support provided by Shephard’s Staff, my mom was able to stay at home until her passing. Without hesitation, I would recommend them. "
