"I can’t express enough gratitude for the incredible care Gentle Touch provided for my mom, who had Alzheimer’s and dementia. She was not an easy patient, yet every caregiver treated her with such kindness, patience, and respect.

They truly went above and beyond, supporting not only my mom but also our entire family. We felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend this agency to anyone in need of compassionate, reliable care for their loved ones. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. - The Peterson Family"

"We are using Elder Home Care for my mom. They've been great at getting us the particular aides that we are looking for. My mom requires 24-hour care, so they've been wonderful. We originally started with just a couple of hours, mainly on the weekends. Once my mother needed 24-hour care, they got us to aides who would provide 24-hour care. My mom is at high risk of falling, so they watch her for that. My mother is pretty independent, so they are just to watch her do her normal day-to-day activities. They do help her with exercises and walking. They are making sure she walks and exercises during the day so that she doesn't just sit around."

"Under the the care of Marni and Greg Altfest, we have had an excellent experience with Home Instead. The women that looked after, and eventually befriended our mother, were kind, competent, compassionate and reliable. We were so lucky to have such special, deeply caring people in our lives. Over many years, they enriched our mother's life immeasurably. Marni and Gregg made sure that we consistently had the care that we needed, often through very difficult and frequently changing times. Our family is deeply thankful."

"Right at Home provided two overnight aides for a physically challenged family member who wanted to move into her own apartment. The aides never let us down. They were very dependable and showed up on time for their shifts. The aides made sure our family member was safe each night and helped her start each day—getting her out of bed, assisting her with dressing, and preparing breakfast. It was such a relief to know that we could count on consistent, dependable caregiving every day of the week. We never had to worry about our family member being left alone and felt certain she was in good hands. Maria worked hard to staff the overnight shifts with very short notice, and had the whole schedule worked out within a couple of days."

"My father has Alzheimer’s and when it became too much for my mother to handle on her own, we sought out an in-home aide. We landed on Right at Home, and it was a great decision. From the owners (Eileen and Gregg) to the staff (especially Vicky), everyone has been extremely professional and respectful, and more than willing to go out of their way to help. Our aide Alicia has been wonderful, and my parents are very happy with her. I would highly recommend Right at Home to anyone in need of services."

"Berenice was a God-send for our Dad and the entire staff was amazing throughout his care. Highly recommend."

"We were lost in the storm of searching for help with our mother. I luckily called Home Instead and spoke to wonderfully caring people that took the ball and ran with it. Best thing we ever did. We love our mother's caregiver, but more importantly, SHE loves her caregiver!"

"Right at Home is very good. Nice people -- my mother likes everybody, and it worked out very well. We have been using them for about four months. People are very down to earth, easy to deal with, and work with my mother who is 95. Everything just seems to work out fine. "

"My mother was a client of Love and Care from 2020 until her recent passing in March, 2024. The caregivers they provided were kind, caring, reliable, trustworthy and professional. After having a few part-time caregivers who alternated days, it was felt by both Bruce, who is one of the owners, and myself that due to her progressing dementia, my mother would benefit from the consistency of one 24/7 caregiver. Bruce was always accommodating, showing much concern and compassion, and worked with me in the interest of meeting my mother’s needs. He then provided us with Tina, who gave exceptional care to my mother in every way. Her patience, kindness, concern, interpersonal and nursing skills as well as her ability to engage and soothe my mother during occasionally challenging times gave me and my family comfort and assurance that she was always safe and very well-cared for. Tina took care of all of my mother’s needs and even prepared wholesome and delicious meals daily for her, which resulted in my mother’s health and appearance improving. I am very grateful to Love and Care and highly recommend this agency to anyone seeking excellent care for their loved ones. Laurie G."

"Excellent! My 97 year old mother has used their services for many years. It amazes me how they always seem to have quality aides available when needed. The office staff and the owners are always quick to respond and know their stuff. I highly recommend them. "
