We just started using Shine and Care last week, and they are very kind and easy to work with. The caregiver is picking up the grocery stores on Wednesday and bringing him in and putting them up and putting out the trash containers. She is just helping in little ways like that, and the more we get use to her, the more we had her to do. I didn’t have my surgery yet, and after my surgery, she would have more work.

If I only knew then what I am painfully aware of now, I would never have signed an agreement with Senior Solutions. They promise care and concern and deliver absolutely nothing. There clearly is a pattern because unfortunately, I have the same complaints that others have posted since 2017. If and when employees come, they are often late and leave early. Very rarely does the same employee come twice. So the client can never receive consistent care. Employees have been rude and dismissive. I’ve been cursed in my own home. Hade my door slammed in my face. We are not notified that employees will not report for duty. The idea that shifts are simply offered and the employees have the option of taking them or leaving the client in the lurch is a horrible business plan. The employees should be hired with the expectation that shifts or clients will be assigned. There are HIPAA laws being broken I am certain. One employee came for a four hour shift, took a 1 hour lunch, a 15 minute break and expected me to sign a document that she have been there the full 4 hours. Requests to speak with management go unanswered. I have pleaded for better treatment but to no avail. It is actually a form of abuse both of my sister who is the client and myself as the primary caregiver because I am left helpless to move or to do anything for an entire shift because either I don’t trust who is in my home or I am left hanging because the person did not show and they (Senior Solutions) leaves me hanging in hopes that someone else might volunteer to take the shift. Simply put you should not take on a client on a possibility that you might serve them. Be honest, be compassionate and tell us of front and allow us to make the decision that we want to take that chance with our loved ones lives. The half of our dilemmas have not been told. I could literally write a book. All true.

Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation.
