"My uncle and his partner have people coming in from Right at Home Lower of Manhattan, and they are very happy with them. They are doing a wonderful job. They are the only good ones that we have ever used. The are expensive, but they are worth the money. They spent the day with them, and they let me know that my uncle was not happy with one of them. I called them. She switched and we got a wonderful new guy. I cannot complain. He helps with whatever they need. My Uncle's partner of 54 years just got out of rehabilitation because he had an embolism on his lung and they are helping out with him too. They just add on the cost, so instead of $32 an hour, now it is $40 an hour. That is not bad. All around, they have been wonderful, and it has been over a month now. I communicate with Joy and she's wonderful. I just call or send an email and she responds right away. The people that they hire, more or less, speak English, so there are no language barriers. The caregivers are very nice, very patient, and wonderful. With two of them, I have been to doctor's visits and all went well."

"I am using By Your Side Home Health Services for mom. They came in and provided her care while I was at work. So, they helped change her, washed her bedding, fed her, and cleaned up the kitchen. They also helped, like when the PT people and the nursing team came. They would communicate with me about who came and why and then let me know how she was doing or if she had a problem, that kind of thing. They were excellent. Administratively, they were great, kind, and great communicators. The person they sent was awesome."

"We hired a young lady from Synergy HomeCare for about an eight-hour span. She helped my grandmother around the house and helped her get ready for a nap and just made sure that she was generally safe in everything that she was doing. She was very good, showed up on time, and was very attentive to her. My event was running a little bit late and she even offered to stay an extra hour, which was very helpful. Everything went very well."

"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 finally found what I was looking for with nurse Galina's agency. I've had help for my mom the last 16 months and it's been nothing but aggravation with aides not showing up or being late and/or inconsistent. I even tried a couple of agencies but they really looked out for their own benefits and was pushing for more hours than mom really needed. A friend of mine who used Galina's service in the past suggested I call and I'm glad I did. Galina is so personable. She listens, understands your needs and will customize care based on your situation. I felt so confident with her. She introduced a caregiver before the caregiver even started working for mom so I knew who was coming on the day we started services. Galina has a great back-up system and her staff is really sweet. I've been using Galina's agency for 6 months now and it's been nothing but a stress relieve. I'm highly recommending her to those families who are looking for good, reliable care. "
