FIVE STAR 2019-06-17 Elizabeth K. has been very on top of my mother in-laws care and has continued to be contacting us to make sure she is getting the right care. Elizabeth has been emailing us with informative information on different medical updates with seniors. She is compassionate and understanding of her work. I am a current client of this provider

Kathrine J 2015-06-24 What had me sold about Sara is that I could meet the caregiver before they starting taking care of my dad. That was huge for me because I was worried about a stranger in the house. I am a past client of this provider

Mrs K 2015-06-18 I had looked around at differnet companies in my area, and Sara Companion Services was one of them. I was impressed by the service but when I made my decision and met the caregiver, I was even happier. She was a great fit and my dad was very happy too. Thank you Sara for being what my dad needed! I am a past client of this provider

Caring74763050 2013-11-27 We chose Sara Companions because they allowed me to meet the caregiver before starting work. We’ve been using them since September for my dad. She does meal preparation and laundry. The caregiver's attitude is very good, reliable, and punctual, but I don’t think she's a really good match for my dad. I am a current client of this provider

Caring052401 2013-06-07 My sister found Sara Companion Services and we hired their services for our mom. Someone accompanied the aide during the interview and explained everything to us, and we also liked how they presented themselves. The aide came three days in a week and my mother seemed to be happy with her. There was one problem before, because the aide wanted to change the schedule but instead of checking with us first, they just informed my mom that was what they would do. Instead of 9 am to 1 pm, they wanted 8 am to 12 pm and that interfered with my mom's social activities. But we compromised and had the aide come in at 8:30 am. So far, we were happy with the aide and comfortable with her too. I am a current client of this provider

Caringniece 2013-02-09 i can't begin to tell you how much help the aide provides. She works from the moment she sets foot in the door until it is time to leave. Above all, she is the most caring person. Very important especially when you cannot monitor the care your loved ones are receiving. I would recommend Sara Companions to EVEREYONE who needs help. Sincerely Pat ..niece of patient I am a friend or relative of a resident

RoseannR 2012-12-25 I only needed their services for two weeks. At first, I thought that everything was really good with Sara Companion Services. I've even recommended them to someone else, and she also had a very good experience. But at this point, I would tell people not to use them. After we're done with the two weeks service, I had surgery and I was home for a while and I was going to keep an eye on mom. So I called them and said that I want to put a hold on her account. But they continued to bill me. I couldn't get my 2-week deposit that they were holding. So I had to call my credit card company to put a stop on those and that's how I got my money. They're great when you call them and you need something, but then when you're done with their services, they are completely useless. I am a past client of this provider

Provider Response

The management team at SARA would like to address this situation with you immediately. The majority of our caregivers are excellent, but if we have a problem one, a manager will address the situation. Our supervisors are very good, but when problems arise like the ones you mentioned, we need to address them at the management level. Please contact Nicole, Client Care Manager.We know our clients already have a lot on their plate and we do not want them to be stressed by caregiver service issues. SARA is here to help and our aides are expected to provide excellent home care. Please work with us to resolve this situation. SARA prides itself on having the best home health aides and if there is one that doesn’t measure up to the high standards that SARA and our clients expect, we want to know. Thank you for bringing these issues to management’s attention. Please know that our managerial team is always available for you and will make it our priority to address any concerns. Again, we would appreciate it if you could contact Nicole immediately.
