"I got Comfort Keepers for my wife, and we're fine with what’s needed for the moment. We've had them for a short time in the spring and we're back again for a month and a half. Right now, we're doing four hours, three days a week. The caregiver does a little bit of everything. She helps my wife with showers and getting dressed. She also does light household chores."

"Rockwell Retirement Center is a wonderful place. Their dining room is immaculate. They have people that will help you. I need a wheelchair and they bring it down so I can eat and they bring it down to my car. The rooms are not the most beautiful. You have to bring your own furniture and drapery. They're all old school rooms, which have been made into rooms for you to live in. They have loads of activities and they have a wonderful activity room. The library is absolutely perfect. They have an exercise room, and they do light therapy for you. It meets my standards. They have air-conditioning and heat in all the rooms. They have an emergency light system and an escape route in case of a fire."

"We got Independent Life Home Care & Concierge Solutions for my brother-in-law. They're okay, we've been using them a few years. Before he was only allowed two hours a day, so they would come in and make his supper, maybe do some light housekeeping. But now that he needs more care, they gave him ten hours a day, seven days a week. The caregivers are good, I don't have any problems with them, it's just the agency doesn't have many caregivers, and they're short-staffed a lot."
