"The In Home Helpers from Barberton were wonderful. The girls that came and helped my mother through the night were so kind and patient with her while she was in the late stage of dementia. The company was easy to work with and worked so hard to meet our needs. I will definitely use them again!"

"There are not enough words to say how wonderful Right at Home in Beachwood, Ohio is. We needed in home support for our Dad with dementia. Shalom came to our house to meet Dad after having done a thorough phone intake with me (his daughter). Shalom entered Dad's home with the utmost respect and kindness and magic ~ I know that sounds silly, but truly there is no other word for it. Dad can be agitated and aggressive with strangers entering his home. This did not happen with Shalom. Dad felt like he had made a new best friend. Shalom has a big heart and is extremely gifted and wise. He is the "senior citizen Whisperer". Vanessa then came to be with Dad for 3 hours a day. She was the perfect companion ~ caring, thoughtful, prompt, generous and gracious. Our Mom passed away and we then moved Dad into Assisted Living. We were sad to step away from Right at Home. They truly filled a void for us at a very difficult time with dignity and grace. Do not be shy to reach out and contact them for care that your family might be needing. "

"Reliable staff, thoroughly background checked, did not have commit to a lot of hours per week. Office staff always available."

"We've been using Home Instead for a couple of months wice a week for my mother-in-law. They visit with her and do a little bit of cooking and house cleaning. She's doing fairly well with them."

"This agency was able to consistently provide caregivers 24/7 to allow their patient to stay at home until the end of her life. The caregivers were always kind, even when the patient was not. They made sure she ate, took her medications and remained safe over several months. Highly recommend."

"I'm using Home Instead Senior Care and the provider's name is Alicia. It's been about two years and it's one day a week for three hours. The agency itself is very good. They work with me very well. If I need schedule adjustments or if they have schedule adjustments, they always communicate with me and let me know. They match me up very good with the caregiver. I've had two permanent caregivers so far and both were good. One I think is no longer with the company, but the one I have now is awesome. I get housekeeping. I get help with vacuuming my floors, cleaning my bathrooms, making my bed and things like that. No personal care. I think it's a very good company."

"The lady from Home Helpers of Canton does the grocery shopping for me, my laundry, light housekeeping, and just any little thing I needed to be done around the house. She is excellent. To me, she's just tops and she's super nice. She shows up on time regularly, too. The only problem she ever had was when she got sick one time, so she couldn't come. Otherwise, she's always on time. She's always nicely groomed and always cheerful. It's nice to have a caring person like her in this time of COVID."

"He likes those who sit with him and talk. He likes having help with the dishes and vacuuming. "

"The utmost professionalism began with our first contact. Both management and staff respond immediately to questions, changes that are requested, and work diligently to assess client and match caregiver to the needs of loved one. I have received the most attentive care, support and information about my loved one's care."

"Right at Home provides care for my brother who is a disabled vet with Parkinson’s. His caretaker Denise is the BEST possible caretaker he could have. She is kind, caring, patient, efficient, and understands his needs and personality. Could not ask for a better caretaker! Kelly has been a great help with scheduling and communication with any circumstances that may arise."

"I was provided this service as a gift from several family members. I had extensive,quite debilitating shoulder surgery and the help my caregiver provided was excellent in every way, I am an RN and have never experienced or needed care like this before. Every person I dealt with from the billing person, manager and my wonderful caregiver was kind, courteous and compassionate. Having been a nurse for over 39 years, I have seen many caregivers without that compassion and dedication. I was so very grateful to my family for doing this for me and the staff of Homestead Senior Care for providing this service. I have recommended and will continue to recommend this service to any i meet who might need it. God bless you all. "
