The home health aids are all wonderfully caring people and the office staff is unmatched in their helpfulness. We heartily recommend Home Instead of Forest Hills to anyone looking to provide care for a loved one. These folks are the best there is."

"I have researched several senior at-home care providers in the North Shore area ...and so far the staff at "Right At Home" seems quite comprehensive, diligent, organized and dedicated. "

"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."

"I called Right at Home -Plainview to arrange for aides to help me with my terminally ill husband. Right from the start I knew I had found the right place. Eileen and Gregg spent a considerable amount of time not only answering my many questions and addressing my many concerns but also trying to get to know my and my husband’s needs so they could find the right aides. We needed 24/7 and decided that the best arrangement for us was to have one aide for four days and another for three. Dorothy met us when we came home from the hospital. She knew immediately what to do and did everything in a professional and efficient manner. As the days went on I found her to not only be kind, knowledgeable, and dedicated but also concerned about our entire family. The first weekend (the three day shift) was not as successful. The aide did not meet our needs. A call to Gregg on Monday was handled in the best possible way. He did not offer excuses or try to encourage me to try another weekend. He immediately (didn’t even wait for me to list all my complaints) said not to worry he would send someone else the following weekend and he did. Jean was just as perfect as Dorothy. Not only was I pleased with both Dorothy and Jean, but more importantly my husband was. In addition to Dorothy and Jean, Tina, the nurse who was assigned to my husband, was an extremely caring and competent professional. She not only came to examine my husband and to provide support to Dorothy and Jean but also to me. When we were unable to get hospice to come, Tina came on short notice to help us. I would definitely recommend Right at Home. "

"Wow. The social worker told me they were the best and they were. Their nurse came and assessed within 2 hours and within 5 hours we had round the clock service that was and continues to be seemless. Anytime there is a problem of many nature, we get called ASAP/ They even have tablets in the homne that allow us to see what is going on in the home and allows our dad to do a host of brain stimulating activities. Love this service."

"My 91 year old mother, an upper east side resident, has started showing some signs of memory loss / Dementia and I wish we would have called these folks sooner. Balancing my busy schedule between work, the kids, and taking care of mom more than we used to really started to take a toll. The Caregivers seem to really want to be there helping her and this has allowed our visits to her to feel a lot more "back to normal". I hope things continue as well as they've started!"

"My mom's transition to accepting home care was difficult. Right at Home was understanding and worked with me to get the right caregivers for her."

"We began using A Better Care Option in 2017 when the elderly friend for whom we are responsible was discharged from hospital. She is wheelchair-bound, incontinent, suffers from some dementia, which can make her difficult to deal with, and requires 24/7 care. The aides (two of whom have been with her for several years now) have taken excellent care of our friend. They are reliable, kind, caring and competent. They are very patient with her quirks and with her occasional flashes of temper. She is well-fed, clean, comfortable and content. The aides are prompt to report issues that come up (e.g., prescriptions need refilling, possible medical problems) and are extremely responsible overall. On the few occasions when there has been a problem, Simon has taken swift action to find a new aide and/or resolve the problem. He has been able to provide competent, caring aides to cover while a regular aide is on vacation or is out sick. I recommend this company highly for the quality of the aides they hire and the quality of care the aides and the company’s administrators provide. The level of concern and richness of information that Simon provides is also outstanding."

"They have very well qualified staff of care attendants. My mind is at ease knowing that my loved one is being cared for by them. "

"The companion currently with my mom is amazing. I would say that her attention, commitment and compassion towards my mom is quite outstanding. "
