"Excellent providers of elder care. Friendly, smart and on top of things. They are my Mom's best advocate. I know she's always OK with them around! Even after she had to go into Assisted care, we kept Home Instead on a weekly basis. Another good eye and good friend for my family!"

"Right at Home goes to my parents once or twice a week. My father said he thinks they're doing a very good job. One of them is a nurse from Haiti and that is extremely helpful to me because we had an issue where my parents were both hospitalized at the same exact time and with something contagious. I had to call the company the day before discharge to get 24/7 care for a period of time for my mother because my father was also sick then. It was just a nightmare. The company was able to respond within two days and get the help we needed for the overnight, so that was very helpful. It is helpful that one of these folks is a nurse even though she isn't trained here, but she is a nurse and she is very helpful to me. She knew exactly what to do when we had to disinfect the house and use certain products and to use gloves. They also have a nurse who comes every so often to check. She is OK. She has made a couple of mistakes, so I'm not in love with her, but she doesn't come that often and we don't really need nursing usually, so it is fine. The two caregivers are good. The company has been very responsive to our needs. The person I deal with, Cindy, is excellent. When I do have an issue, I call her, and she is on the same page I'm on. They appear to be extremely organized on speaking with her on the phone, and she follows up when she says she is going to or somebody does. Their process is very good. "

"When our parents were in need of home care we turned to A Place At Home. The company arranged to meet our parents to perform an assessment and assign a caregiver. During the assessment they listened carefully to the needs of our elderly parents and assigned a respectful and compassionate person as a caregiver. Both of our parents are in their 90’s, yet they enjoy an independent lifestyle in their home. The caregivers at A Place At Home provide help performing the activities of daily living and make it possible for our parents to continue their independent lifestyle. The caregivers at A Place At Home are polite and engaging and provide a high level of care. We are grateful that our elderly parents have the opportunity to continue to thrive while living at home. We highly recommend A Place At Home."

"Where do I start? We have been with Home Instead for 9 years. We had the same provider home care companion for the 9 years…obviously that speaks for itself. Dealing with the Chelmsford office was always smooth and we felt the kind caring support from everyone."

"We had to place my mother in an assisted living facility. We did not realize how severe her dementia was. We had to have Right at Home take care of my mother for several weeks until we could get her in a nursing home facility with a Dementia Unit. Right at Home came in every day of the week for about 18 hours a day at the assisted living facility. My mother was scared and anxious. She never could have made through those weeks without the excellent care that was provided by the Right at Home staff. My mother is doing very well now. Thank you Right at Home for helping my mother and family get through those trying times. "

"My mother gets in-home care 7 days/week. Before Right at Home we had been unable to get services either on a regular basis or sometimes at all from 3 different agencies. When you call Right at Home you immediately know you're not dealing with just any in-home care agency. Cyndie and Julie are patient and kind while also focused on providing you with assistance. Our first home care worker started with mom 5 days/week. Mom will tell you she loves when Ann comes in and above all she trusts her. This is so important when having people come into your home. When mom needed more support to continue to live independently at home I called the office and was able to increase support to 7 days/week. Each of the care givers are proficient, caring and professional. I couldn't be more appreciative of the services we've received from Right at Home, or more fortunate for the quality of care they provide. "

"I am using Home Helpers Home Care of Burlington, MA, for my parents. They put us at ease. They were able to lay out exactly what the plan could be for making sure that my mom was taken care of and the trip that I had to go on. They've been easy to work with. They've been very accommodating regarding scheduling and how quickly we needed to get things together. They've recognized our needs and have been able to put together stuff that worked for us."

"Senior Helpers exceeded all my expectations. They were the third home care agency I tried and far and away the best. Lois, my mom's caregiver, treated her like a queen. They became best friends. She could never do enough to make sure mom was happy and well cared for. Dealing with the office was always helpful and easy. Senior Helpers is the only agency I would ever use."

"We worked with Kathy, the Director of Client Care in Lexington. She was so helpful to me and my family. She worked with to us to understand the type of care we needed for my father who had Alzheimer's/dementia. We were introduced to Patricia. We can't say enough about Patricia! My mom is so grateful for her. Patricia came to our home always with a friendly smile! She never complained and was always gracious, kind and patient! She cared for my dad so my mom can have a break. Everyone at Home Instead Lexington has been wonderful in the process. "

"We did use Home Helpers for about a month. They were great. They were very pleasant, very nice, and very willing to do anything. They helped out him getting something for snacks and helping him to drink, they read reviews and newspapers with him, and they helped him with his crafts. I would recommend them for any type of assistance you would need at home. It was a very positive experience. They made my husband very comfortable. "

"We're using MAS Home Care for my mom because we needed one that took Medicaid. Currently they do light housework once a week and hygiene stuff for three to four hours. So far everything is routine or recurring. The billing has so far been pretty automatic since we're paying through Medicaid; initially it was private pay. The caregiver who's assisting my mom is great, she is very present, and pays attention to my mom. She's considering Mom's needs, but knowledgeable enough to be able to coax her and make her comfortable enough so that she can help her without making her feel like a helpless senior."
