"We went with Guardian Angels for my wife, and so far it has been very good. They don't offer any care that requires an LPN or nurse, and they don't give medicine and shots, but they can supervise you in taking it. They do basic cleaning and running errands for you. One feature I liked was that they will do single days. They're certainly worth checking out, and so far they've always been prompt and done everything that I've asked them to do. I don't have any problems so far with any of the services they offered."

"We have used SYNERGY HomeCare a few times now and it seems to be working out. My husband has Parkinson's, and so when they're here, they fix a meal for him if I have an appointment or I'm not here. They prepare his meal. They make sure that when he's walking or standing, he has a gait bell so that he doesn't fall because of his balance. We haven't had them out that many times, but we've been pleased with the times that they've been here. They're always on time and prompt and seem very caring. We have been using them for two months, but it has only been a few times each month and it's usually about six hours or so a day. I would recommend them, I really would. When we first contacted them, there was a team that came out and visited us and explained everything to us, and if you're not happy with something, they want to know for sure."

"Home Care Assistance is absolutely the BEST! When I needed help for my parents "the girls" knew right where to start. They were, and still are, helpful, caring. polite, devoted and they love and treat my parents with dignity and respect. I am more than pleased with their quality of care. The fees are commensurate with the quality of service provided. I hope when I need this kind of care, Home Care Assistance will be there for me. "

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
