Gauthier Family Home Care Grand Rapids, MI

Donna M_37

The only thing they are doing for me is giving me a bath, so I don't use all their services. They are very friendly and are willing to work with you, but I don't know if any of my friends would want to have home care come in and help them, so that is why I put a 7.

The services have made my dad's life a lot easier. We handpicked our caregiver and she does a fabulous job.

They provide companionship and also help to clean the house. They left a good first impression and thoroughly explained what the services would be. They also personally introduced the caregiver when she first came.

Whenever we needed to change the hours of care, they always responded quickly. I liked most of the caregivers. If one of them couldn't make it, then they did their best to fill the spot.

I couldn't even think about not having them. They get things done for me that I can't do on my own any more because of mobility and breathing issues. I am very dependent on them. I like the caliber of the employees that they have. They are on top of everything all the time.

My expectations were a little higher for the caregivers. They could have been more nutritional with the meals that they prepared. The agency could have improved on the communication about ways to keep the cost down and more management of the caregivers.

It helps knowing someone is there with my grandmother. We know she has someone watching out for her. They communicate very well.

Being her other primary caregiver, having someone else there is life-changing for me. I still do a lot myself, but having someone else there that I can trust is great. There should be more communication with scheduling issues. They need more caregivers.

Kris_1

It has taken a lot off of my shoulders. They have had someone there every time they were supposed to. They are dependable.

Karen V_8

The most helpful part of the services is that we don't have to be there all the time. We have confidence in the caregiver that gets her ready every morning, so we don't have to go over every day. I like the caregivers that we have had. They have been very good, they were also very accommodating when we asked to have the same caregiver every morning.

Mary C_53

They are expensive and have pressed their prices up even higher. I have had different problems. I slipped on ice and broke a couple of bones, so I was quite disabled at first. They were there to do whatever I needed. I am down to just one day a week because I don't need as much help now. They are pretty steady. If the caregiver can't come, then they make other arrangements for someone else to come. It is hard having someone completely new come into the house though.

I look forward to them coming. She comes and pitches right in. She doesn't just sit around. I like how they have been very dependable.

My caregiver is here when I need her and will do things without me asking. I like the standards of how they pick people to work and they look at their motivations and ethics.

Just being here makes a big difference. The lady who comes is very nice and knows what she is doing.

Not all the caregivers have enough training for what we require of them. They need to send me caregivers who are capable of helping us more, but they have been helpful in some ways.

Anonymous

I think they should do better with their scheduling. I need more notice on who is coming and when they are going to come. I did just get a schedule for the next few weeks for the first time. They have made life easier for me by helping me with day-to-day stuff that right now I cannot do.

Gauthier Family Home Care sends different caregivers every time. Gauthier Family Home Care helps with my house work.

Karen V_2

The starting process with Gauthier Family Home Care is good, the consistency with staffing was good, and we never had an issue with people showing up late or not showing up. However, there are some of their staff members that will take advantage of older people. The most helpful part of having the services from Gauthier Family Home Care was that they would engage with my father-in-law every day. He didn't have high needs, but he really just wanted companionship and Gauthier Family Home Care offered that to him.
