Senior Care in Owosso, MI

"My wife was screaming in agony during the last 5 days of her life, but was in a coma so I could not comfort her. She was attended by the same newly graduated nurse whose name I cannot divulge under the guidelines. I called the main office each day so the supervisor could hear my wife's agonizing screams on my phone's speaker. Nothing changed. Finally and mercifully, my wife died on the sixth day. I will never forget her terrified cries which were clearly audible throughout the entire building. I did not pursue legal action because I am trying to forget. However, I want other caregivers to be forewarned."

"We have been using ComForcare Home Care for probably two months now. I think the caregiver is doing an excellent job. She does just about everything. She helps my wife with bathing and feeding. "

"My father recently passed away and this is the Hospice company that we used. I honestly dont understand all the bad reviews, our experience was wonderful! Thet went above and beyond for my family and explained things clearly. I'm so grateful that awe had these people to help guide us during such a difficult time."

"BrightStar Care East Lansing offers home services like housekeeping and companionship. We had quite a few caregivers. My mom was very difficult so they didn't last very long. They were very friendly and for the most part on time. The scheduling was OK. I suggest they match up the type of care to the person that needs the care. They didn't do a very good job at that."

"We did physical and occupational therapy with Sunshine Home Care for a year and a half. They are very conscientious, friendly and thoughtful. "

"We hired First Light to care for my father in his final months. Deb and her staff cared for dad around the clock for nearly 90 days before he passed. Being an elder law attorney, I know how hard it is to get good, caring people to provide consistent, heartfelt care. The crew from First Light was amazing! I remember when I told my dad we'd be getting him caregivers--he hated the idea. 3 days before he passed, he thanked me for hiring First Light--he said they had become great friends! Can't think of a better compliment."

"I'm using Wind Beneath Your Wings. They match the needs that I have with the caregiver taking into account the personality of my spouse and who they think would work well with him. They're very accessible. When I have a problem or a question, I can get a hold of somebody right away. They listen and respond as much as they're able. I needed somebody with a particular schedule, and since it's a small agency, I had to wait until they hired somebody who could meet that need. But since I'm flexible a lot, it didn't present a problem for me. Wind Beneath Your Wings helps me with light housekeeping, preparing meals, and exercising with my husband if he's willing. My husband needed to go get a haircut, and my caregiver took him to the barber. Regarding billing, they send the invoice for the month following care, and then I either send a check or something to pay it. I have long-term care insurance, so they reimburse me. I have been using them for three years now. Overall, I like the caregivers they send."

"Zari's Loving Touch has been providing both personal and companionship care for my Mother little over year. Their service hours are generally very flexible to meet the clients needs. Zari's Loving Care goes above and beyond for homecare services. Thank you."

"We hired Grace Hospice for my dad. He has a chaplain, he has nursing care, and he has someone come and give him a bath three times a week. He has a social worker that helps us. We've been very appreciative. They've been very good, and I can't fault them at all. They give him what he needs, and they've all been excellent. I haven't had any delays. Their scheduling is according to his need. He had a greater need in the last week or two. They have upped his need for bathtime and nursing care, and they've given us that. They're doing a wonderful job."

"Michigan Hospice Association came to the assisted living facility when my dad got bad. They were contacted when he started to turn for the worse. The care was excellent. They actually took time with me when my dad was really bad and when I didn't think I could do it. The hospice nurses actually sat and took time to make me feel as comfortable. You got to be a special type of person to be able to do that. They were really fantastic. I would recommend them. "
