They could interact with her more and engage her in something stimulating. I would like them to be more assertive and more sure of themselves so that the client can feel confident in letting them help them.

It makes a big impact because my father is 93, and we used them through the summer when we needed to get away. We wouldn't have been able to get away if they didn't come. I liked that the owner came out and talked to me and my dad. She brought the people that were going to work with my dad, and that was very nice.

They help by physically getting her to mass from her assisted living. I just have them for one thing, so I have been satisfied.

I don't know what I would be without them! My caregiver has been not just a caregiver, but a very good friend. He shows compassion, concern, and it isn't like he is just doing a job. He makes my loved one feel comfortable, and he looks forward to the visits from him. There are a lot of things I like. Their customer service is wonderful, I like the way they answer my needs right away, and the overall relationship I have with the staff is great.

I think it is less stressful for me knowing that someone is with her and that if an emergency comes up, they will reach out to me and let me know. I like that they have been able to cover the schedule that I need, and all of the ladies have been very kind to my grandmother.

They are very helpful for what I need them to do. I need to have them go in and help her eat. She is blind, and she doesn't remember to eat. I don't have to go in every day to do it. They are very dependable.

We only use the service for four hours a day. It is not so much about what they are doing, but we just can't have them for that long every day. They could maybe just have more consistency in the aides. We have been happy with all the caregivers and their communication. They have a good method of communication.

We don't access it enough. I would like to access it more. If she was more willing to access it more, it would have more of an impact. They have been extremely reliable and very kind. They work well with my difficult mother.

I used Shepherd's Staff In-home Care for a few days since that's all I needed. Our experience was that it's slightly disorganized, but ended up okay. They provided in-home-care help for my mom, everything from feeding, bathing and incontinence. The caregivers were fine. They were good people, nice and friendly. I chose them because they were the only in-home-care agency that answered my calls.

She is receiving 2 different kinds of services. One is a companion and takes her to the store, reads to her, and visits. The other person comes a few mornings a week and helps her get up and get dressed. I have been with them for many years, and I love their communication because it has been excellent, whether we initiate it or them.

They gave me peace of mind. Mom couldn't take care of herself and couldn't understand that she couldn't do it. It felt like Mom was safe. I liked their responsiveness to any concerns that I had. I liked that I could reach a human being when I called there. I liked the personalities of the caregivers.

They could improve in getting her up and talk to her more when she is up. They could discuss things and be more open with her. They have continued to be on time, and we haven't had a problem with someone not being there.

They are very accommodating. Consistency is important, so they try very hard to make sure that they're consistent with the scheduling. I like that it's small and personable.

They have helped the most by just playing games with him. He is interacting much better. He didn't know who I was, but now he knows who I am. They take good care of him. He is getting much better, and he is doing things now that he wasn't able to do before.

We couldn't function without a caregiver because I have a mother who needs 24 hour care, but it's is not possible for me and my sister to be there all the time.

Shepherd's Staff In-home Care is kind, caring, complete, and accurate. They will do anything that you ask, and will treat you better than your mother did. My husband has Parkinson's, and it is so necessary that someone is patient enough to help him. He is at a stage where it is hard for him to walk and to be understood, and I am bed bound, so it is so meaningful to have this help.

I am impressed with Shepherd's Staff because of the attention that the caregivers give to my mom. They are always trying to engage mom in different things. The care that Shepherd's Staff offers has taken the burn and worry from us because we know that on a day-to-day basis, my mom is doing what she is supposed to be doing.

I would tell someone that my recommendation of Shepherd's Staff depends on the caregiver that they would be sent. I am so delighted to have my caregiver. My caregiver is very efficient, does her job well, and had become my good friend.

Shepard’s Staff provided quality care to my mom for several years as she went from relatively independent, to bedridden and dependent on others. Angela, the office staff, and all of the caregivers were professional, friendly, competent, and truly cared for my mom’s well-being. For my mom, cats are part of the family. My husband and I, the sole caregivers for my mom in our home, could not leave for the weekend if my mom wasn't cared for and if the cats weren't fed. Shephard’s Staff caregivers were willing to provide that extra assistance. With the support provided by Shephard’s Staff, my mom was able to stay at home until her passing. Without hesitation, I would recommend them.

We engaged the services of Shepherd's Staff for a brief time, following our father's discharge from a rehab facility after he had broken his hip. Our dad is very independent, so this was a difficult situation for him to have to adjust to (having someone do most things for him, needing supervision, etc, to maintain his safety). The staff member, William, was sensitive to this. While we did not require the services of Shepherd's Staff for very long (less than 10 occasions), our dad was well-treated, we felt that his safety was maintained as he gained back his strength, and that the agency ensured that someone trust-worthy was there to assist him. We hope that the need to use these services doesn't present again, but we would feel very comfortable selecting Shepherd's Staff again should the need arise. Thank you, Angela, for your assistance; we appreciate the quality!

When our aging Mother needed additional assistance, the family interviewed 3 different help services. We chose Shepherd’s Staff because their values most aligned with ours. That decision was over 2 years ago and we’ve been so pleased ever since. Each caregiver Mom has had has been specially selected by Shepherd’s Staff to best match her personality, values, and needs. Each one has treated Mom as a VIP with emphasis on the P. She feels valued as a person with individual interests, needs and changing moods. Whenever the family has requested special attention for her or an adjustment to the way services are delivered, the gracious, accommodating response made us feel they really do care. Every staff member relates to her professionally as well as being a friend. On more than one occasion, the staff has gone out of their way to stop in her room just to say ‘hi’ when they were in the area. They have come to special family events just to be part of the festivities. Angela and Becky, have been amazing. They’ve been such a part of her life and brought her such joy.

Provider Response

We try to hire only caregivers who share our view that every human life is of inestimable value, regardless of age or ability. Respect for human dignity is our number one company value. We are glad to know that our caregivers are showing that respect to our clients!

Shepherd’s Staff caregivers have been helping my mom for over two years – with the present caregiver helping for about a year. My mom is quite elderly, hard of hearing, and losing her eyesight. The current caregiver is exceedingly kind to my mom and we are most grateful to have her services. The caregiver takes mom shopping and helps with light housekeeping such as laundry, dishes, and cleaning. But mostly she is someone we trust to keep another eye on my mom and do some of the things we are unable to do for her because we live too far away. We have been most satisfied with Shepherd Staff.

i used Shepherds Staff when my 89 year old mother, who had Alzheimer's, came to live with us. The caregivers were so kind to my mother. I felt very comfortable leaving the house, knowing that my mom was in good hands. The scheduler tries to keep the same caregiver coming to the house so there is continuity of care. I went away on vacation with my family in the summer for five days, and the lady who was caregiver for my mom stayed at my house during that time. She cared for Mom as If she were a part of her family, taking her to the firehall for dinner one evening, to the store and bought her a pair of pants, cooked meals for her, kept her clean and even cleaned my house! I was worried that my mom would have a difficult time bein separated from us, but because of the caregiver's wonderful care, she did fine and enjoyed the company! I highly recommend Shepherd's Staff for in home care.
