First and only outstanding care from a home care agency through workers compensation I have experienced in over 20 years. Tamara was an example of integrity and compassion as was all of her staff. Anything that needed to be addressed for my client, who could at times be difficult, was addressed in a timely and appropriate manner. The staff went above and beyond their normal duties to accommodate my client and ensure that all of his needs were met for three years until he passed on. Cannot thank you all enough for making his return to his home so successful. You extended his life and made it possible for him to be happy in his own home again. So grateful for that. Thank You!

Medicaid referred me to Always Home Care for my dad, who is a stroke survivor in need of a home health aide. These people put me through a series of questions and had me go through the work of getting a doctor’s referral for the services and then the agency (Deborah is the contact) told me (after I made several follow-up calls a week later:: "The owner has to sign the paperwork for the aide to lift your father. And then we have to find an aide who’s willing to do that kind of work." Mind you, I had already told this woman that my father can assist and doesn’t need to be picked up, only guided. After several more phone calls to them I was assured that Deborah would call me back with an answer. She never did. But God is good because if this is any indication of the reliability of any aides hired, my dad was spared and I was saved. Thank you, Jesus.

Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
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.

Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
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.
