"I get the help needed inside the house, but I need the aide to drive my parents to some of the doctors' appointments. However, none of the aides can even do that, and they can't even roll her up and down the ramp. They oversold their capabilities in that respect. The cost is comparable with the other providers. They do light cleaning, help with bathing, walk them around, organize cabinets, and do personal grooming, which is the most important thing. They're very good aides. One of the positive things they do is provide services to on a discount for going back and forth to the hospital and the doctor. They also have a good RN case supervisor."

"Right at Home, The Bronx, helped me to look after my husband for two years, 2019-2020. The agency supplied caregivers all that time, at first for 12 hours a day, and then later, as my husband needed more help for 24 hours a day. They looked after him faithfully until the day of his death. The home health aides whom they provided were wonderful. Competent and caring women, they made the life of my husband much easier for him to bear through his long last illness, and they helped me greatly with their kindness, their knowledge , their understanding and their unfailing good humor. They were always on time, and they always stayed as long as they were needed. If one of them was for some reason not able to come, the agency always supplied a suitable substitute in a timely fashion. If I had any problems of any kind, I could always talk to the head of the agency. She made herself readily available, returned calls right away, and organized everything in a friendly and forthcoming way. I had absolutely no problems in my dealings with this agency and I would recommend them highly to anyone looking for help with family members. "

"I was very pleased with Elite Home Care. I only had the representative come for two days. That's all I asked for, and they obliged. The caregiver came for four hours each day. I asked her to mop the kitchen floor, which she did. Then she helped me one day with the laundry, taking the laundry out of the washing machine, putting it into the dryer, and then out of the dryer and folding everything for me, and brought it upstairs where I needed it. They're very good with billing. They asked me if I could pay with a credit card, and I said yes, and I was happy for that, and then I got a receipt for my payment. I was very satisfied."
