David,
The care that I received from Always Best Care was nothing short of phenomenal. They were able to obtain help quickly and everyone showed up on time. Kathy was a wiz at scheduling Sabina and Mirela. Both ladies were sweet, kind, caring, understanding, and exceptionally helpful. Each of them went above and beyond, playing a role in my recovery. Should the need arise again, I would absolutely reach out to your agency.

MeetCaregivers is a fabulous agency. They are responsive and sensitive to the needs of the client and family, and work hard to find the right match(es).
For example, my mother was extremely hard of hearing and needed caregivers who could speak slowly and repeat if needed, requiring a lot of patience. She also did not want to be "bossed around," which was difficult when she insisting on doing things that were unsafe for her. Her caregivers were very respectful and handled these situations with professionalism and grace.
When my mother declined quickly and was bedridden for over a week before her death, her devoted caregivers transitioned seamlessly to changing her diapers and giving her bed baths. I was impressed by their wide range of skill sets and their compassion and support as our family went through a difficult time. They became like family to us, staying later and doing extra when needed.
I would recommend MeetCaregivers without reservation for anyone seeking care.

I hired Simply Elder Care one time. It worked out well. The agency put me in touch with an experienced woman who came to the house once a day for six days for two hours. She mostly provided monitoring and companionship for my father while we were away on vacation. I met with her prior to the engagement and was impressed with her. I wasn’t around much while she was providing the care because I was away on vacation but my father was very happy with the services that she provided, and it worked out well. The billing was fine. In fact, because it was a short engagement, I paid them in full beforehand. It was a snowstorm on one of the days when the woman was supposed to come, and because of the weather she was unable to come. Shortly after we returned, Simply Elder Care gave me a refund for that day when the woman didn’t come; I didn’t have to request it, so I was very happy about that.
