    The agency has helped me by providing services the VA authorizes. I would recommend them because I like the service they provide. They are on time and do a careful job.

    It helps a lot. The caregivers have helped the most by helping her get dressed and get ready for the day. They help get her dressed and cleaned up with a sponge bath every day. They are always on time. I like that the people are very helpful, and we can normally get somebody on the phone if you need to talk to them. The caregivers have been outstanding.

    They could have a greater impact by helping me more with things that I need help with. They need to provide a more consistent caregiver. There's a high turnover rate and I have to start all over again when they start a new one.

    It is essential. They've been very helpful in general. It's predicated by the individual that shows up, most are very good, but some are pretty average. I don't think it's a matter of training, more individual willingness to work.

    He doesn't have anyone coming every day but he gets a shower once a week and that's gone really well. It's made a big difference for not only him, but for my husband and me as well. They've always been very good with him, even when he doesn't want them there. I would recommend Right at Home to others because the people they've sent out have always been really good with my dad and I've been able to get help when we've needed it. If I cancel, they're okay with that and I feel like they're fair about that. If I ask for respite, they're always able to provide it, even if I ask on short notice.

    They help me keep my sanity. I've been stuck in this studio apartment for a long time. They don't mind talking about whatever. They help me out with the little things. There are a lot of things they don't do. I'd love it if they did bath aid for at home. I'd also appreciate nursing.

    The caregivers sit and do nothing. The caregivers are not good.

    Provider Response

    We're sorry to hear you feel that way Mary. Anytime there has been a complaint that you have made regarding the staff you have had; we have brought in the staff to investigate the situation. Our Quality Coordinator and Care Coordinator have both performed announced and unannounced visits in June and July with you. You had told them both you were happy with staff, your home was clean, and you thanked them for their visits. Your Medicaid Case Manager also stated you were happy with services, so we apologize that you feel this way now. Right at Home

    I am still trying to figure out what to do. I guess I need to know what the caregivers do. I don't really know what to expect from them and what to have them do. I just don't know what they do or what they should be doing. I really like Diane. She is the only experience I have had. I have been going downhill pretty fast and I didn't know how much care I was going to need here. Right now, I am okay. I am going to have to get more home care. There's only two people I have had experience with so far at the agency. I like Diane and I didn't really care for the other person they sent. She seemed like she didn't like the work.

    The caregiver would come over to watch my loved one that is in a wheelchair and home-bound so that I can have free time to run errands, which is really helpful, and my loved one likes her a lot. They are always on time and there to help with whatever you need, so I'd certainly recommend them.

    Provider Response

    I’m sorry to hear that is your experience with Right at Home. Looking at your schedule, it looks like in the last 3 months there were only two shifts that were at a different time. We will do our best to keep the same time but please understand when staff call out for personal reasons, we work hard replacing your caregiver with a fill-in and they can’t always be there at the time your regular was scheduled, however, we work hard on making sure you get the care no matter what. :)

    The schedule is very consistent, and so we can step out of the house and know they will be here and take good care of him. The company lets me know ahead of time if someone won't be able to make it to an appointment. They never cancel last minute.

Many CDAC related caregiving companies now offer a partnership with a chores service to mow lawns and shovel driveways. Right at home should consider this option. It would produce great benefits for them. Thanks, Nancy G.

I have been with them for quite a number of years now. I have had the same caregiver for 7 or 8 years now. She is reliable and trustworthy. I can send her to the store with a list and my debit card and the PIN number, and she comes back with nothing more than what is on the list and with the receipt and my debit card.

    We have had home care for about two years and the first two people they sent out here were fantastic, those two ladies were super and would clean both bathrooms and the kitchen in two hours and have 5 minutes left to sit and talk with us. Then we moved my daughter's house and the girl finished one and a half bathrooms in the two hours. We asked her if that was all she got done and they cancelled us because they said we were mean to the people. We did not say it in a negative way but she took it that way. The first two I felt comfortable cleaning my house if I was not there. I thought that we did Right at Home a favor by telling them that we thought that she could get more. I did not trust her to sit with anyone by herself.

    It is integral for the success of our clients and caregivers alike that a mutual and amicable bond is established. Unfortunately sometimes those bonds aren’t formed and we work diligently to find an alternate plan towards future success.

    Right at Home has been extremely accommodating with my father. The care he is receiving is top notch. I would recommend this company to anyone needing help in the home.

    We used Right at Home for two months for my father-in law. They did light cleaning and laundry. We used them twice a week for three hours each day. The price was fair. He was skeptical at first, but in the end, it was very beneficial, and he was able to make friends with the caregiver.

    I hired a caregiver from Right at Home to come in two times a week to help my mom with bathing and slight housekeeping. My mom is very happy with her caregiver. Their management has been satisfactory. Everything has been so far, so good. It's very helpful knowing that your family member or parents are well cared for.

    Right at Home did a good job. They take care of Mom in the morning, bathe her and shower her, and during bedtime, they take her to the bathroom and put her to bed. She's fine with it and likes it. They come way earlier than the time we set up. It would be much better if they follow the time.

    All great. I usually like Martha or Susan and when I call in they're very helpful. They certainly deserve 5 stars. I thank you for your great service. Merry Christmas! Many Thanks.

    I couldn’t get along without Sherry. She not only does her job but she does extra just as if it's part of the job.

    The people at the desk are very understanding in getting the right girls to work for us. The workers work hard for us. We have had arthritis. Ron has rheumatoid and neuropathy, with no feeling in his wrist, hand and feet. The neuropathy is worse because diabetes is not involved. My worker did the writing for me while I told her what to say.

    Tim is a good man and I enjoy him and wish I had more hours with him especially with my leg, hip and back hurting me. He's a 10 star.

    I’ve had the same Homemaker aide for 6+ years and would not trade her for her weight in gold. She is very versatile and thorough. She takes me anywhere I need to go.
