Anonymous_3982 2020-08-06 He can't do without assistance so it has been great assistance. With that being said, there were some caregivers that were better than others. There are some caregivers that are fantastic and there are some who aren't. They need more consistency in the caregivers. I am a current client of this provider

Carolyn K_2 2020-04-16 They are good because I now have less worries. My mom is getting the care that she deserves. That takes the pressure off of me. They always take care of the burdens that I might have. If they were not there I would have to be doing it. So far they are persistent. My mother likes them and she said they treat her good and are nice. They try to make sure that they are consistent. I do not worry too much about my mom getting her medication. They have been very consistent. I am a current client of this provider

Patricio L_1 2020-01-13 It helps me two days a month because that is all that they can come. The agency is very transparent and cooperative, but they cannot find someone to assist the patient, who is bedridden. We used to have people that were wonderful, but they no longer work for the company. I am a current client of this provider

5 3 1

Karen C_16 2020-01-07 I didn't need much help because I am a nurse. She was accurate other than with the medication recommendations. The person that came was not a nurse, but she did medication reconciliation, which was outside of her practice. I am a past client of this provider

Anita M 2019-05-21 We have support, and it makes a difference. They are always available to talk about my dad's care. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

Shelby R 2019-05-20 It made it more stressful for me. The care providers should be described as what they are, and all they were was a sitter. They would come to my mother's house, and sit on the couch and watch TV while she was there for 3 hours. I am a past client of this provider

5 1 1

Anonymous_1 2019-05-15 They come in, do the job, and then go. We have two caregivers coming to the house, two on Tuesday and Thursday and one on Saturday. We have asked that the one on Saturday to be reassigned. The one caregiver that is here every day is outstanding and the other did the job, but it was very brief. If my wife had an accident, they would change her and then leave, but the other one does more work. I am a current client of this provider

5 4 1

Anonymous_1795 2019-04-15 They do not want the clients to be friends with the caregiver. When they found out that I was getting along well with my caregiver, they lectured me about not doing that. They did not want to tell me who my caregiver was. I did not want to open the door and know who was there. They still will not tell me who is coming. I am a current client of this provider

5 3 1

Wesley L 2019-03-15 My dad has severe dementia, so they would sit with him at night to make sure he didn't pull on his wires. Essentially, they helped keep him alive. They helped us when we needed it most. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

Kathleen K 2019-03-15 I had expectations of my parents, but they were not able to fill that. I still had to be involved in the care. The caregivers did not take all of my duties away I still had to provide part time care. They are personal to the people in their care. The owner gets to know the patients, and I know that he gives extra training for any extra needs. They meet regularly with me to make sure the care is appropriate. They cared about my parents. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

Margaret J_5 2019-03-15 My loved one doesn't want to do some of the activities they do. I've had success with the people that they've sent, and most of them are older. My loved one can talk to them. I am a current client of this provider

Sylvia A_1 2019-01-30 The showers are very good, and they wash the clothes very well. The caregiver came to me, and I decided that I would be able to have them take care of my laundry and stuff around my house. They haven't helped me much around the house. I am a current client of this provider

Dorothy L_11 2019-01-07 It is just hard getting use to what services are needed. The caregivers seem to be very caring, and I like that they have a website where they document all the visits and what they did. I am a current client of this provider

5 4 1

Kristopher K_1 2019-01-07 The best part was the conversations. I had very long conversations with both of them about a lot of things, and it was nice. It was a lot of fun actually. They were interested in me, and I could tell they really cared. We've had a long relationship with them, so we were familiar with them and felt comfortable with them. I've had nothing but good experiences with them. The people they sent were warm, friendly, and nice. Management was very competent and professional. They really do try to do the best for their people. I am a past client of this provider

Betty B_9 2018-12-06 They did little things that I couldn't do, like sweeping a floor. They offered excellent service. My only problem was that I didn't know that they were coming. That just got messed up from my doctor's office. I needed the help, I just didn't know they were coming. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

Anonymous_839 2018-11-20 When my caregivers aren't here for a day, I have to do what they usually do, and then I truly miss my caregivers. However, they need to be more willing to take me different places. I think the company needs to spend more time training their caregivers how to cook. I am a current client of this provider

5 4 1

Kathy G_3 2018-11-19 I could not have manged without the help. Just knowing that they were here helped. My husband was completely incapacitated. I could not have taken care of his needs. All of the aides were very compassionate and very helpful. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

Jean S_3 2018-10-24 If I hadn't had them, I wouldn't have had any free time at all. There were times that the arrangements got mixed up, and the people were late a few times. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

Yvette A 2018-08-15 The cost is an issue. Their flexibility scheduling caregivers is very helpful. They had intake classes when I first stated using them, and the amount of time that they spent explaining things to me and helping me with the resources was helpful. They also have an app that is helpful. I am a current client of this provider

5 4 1

Clint G 2018-07-17 They give me some freedom to go out and do what I need to do. I have found that they make a lot of effort to match the caregiver to the client. They go the extra mile to make sure that everyone is happy. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

Donald G 2018-03-27 I've liked the director's patience with my father and the encouragement of music in my father's treatment. My father can go on a schedule now that fits his needs and takes his time. He can have one-on-one attention, which wasn't the case in the facility. I am a current client of this provider

Rene S 2018-01-18 I wasn't there when they were with my dad, but they were really easy to work with and get set up. I needed them in a hurry and they were great to work with and make that happen. My dad actually had fallen and was taken to the emergency room twice in a day. They immediately were able to go over there and sit with him to make sure he didn't get up again. Stress for me fell to a zero knowing he was being watched over and cared for. I am a past client of this provider

They need to know about oxygen and they are not familiar with it. I cannot go anywhere without it so they need to know how I use it and when it should be filled. The people that come to care for us have not been trained to care for elderly people and they are not CNAs.

Provider Response

Hello Edith, So very sorry for the problem that you experienced. We are a non medical agency, but do help clients with their needs around oxygen, whenever appropriate. We take great care in hiring team members who are not only capable and skilled, but also have the right attitude to take care of our seniors. Unfortunately, every individual’s needs are different and sometimes we make mistakes or can do a better job. Hopefully you appreciate that we are humble enough to accept that, but follow through to ensure mistakes are not repeated. In this specific situation, our caregiver inadvertently made a mistake. So, she received additional training specifically for your needs & situation. Thank you very much for giving us an opportunity to care for your needs.

I only have one and she is outstanding and I used to have several. They are on the high end of pricing and went to 11 holidays a year. They could improve in consistency of caregivers.

Provider Response

Hi Tom, Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to provide us with good feedback. Totally agree on the consistency aspect. You know this already, but we try very very hard on that. Unfortunately, this is such a human industry. Everyone's life is always changing and each day is different. Our caregivers' lives are constantly changing too, and so its difficult to find the perfect balance, consistently. We are changing our approach to meet our caregivers' scheduling needs first & foremost, which should lead to them being happy, which in turn should lead to happy clients and families. It will be hard, but nothing worthwhile is easy, and we are committed to doing the best for everyone. Thank you for continuing to have faith in us, and letting us care for your special, loved one.

I didn't need much help because I am a nurse. She was accurate other than with the medication recommendations. The person that came was not a nurse, but she did medication reconciliation, which was outside of her practice.

I like the warmth and caring feeling I get from her. She is always on time and always smiling. Her attitude is caring, and she is just a great person.

My mom was unresponsive, so for me, it gave me an opportunity to leave the house and do what I needed or wanted to do. Every caregiver was kind, caring, loving, and reliable.

We have support, and it makes a difference. They are always available to talk about my dad's care.

It made it more stressful for me. The care providers should be described as what they are, and all they were was a sitter. They would come to my mother's house, and sit on the couch and watch TV while she was there for 3 hours.

Provider Response

Hello Shelby, I am so very sorry! Didn't know you had that experience with all our caregivers, since I have known some of them for a long time. We are changing our approach for our companionship clients, and will use your feedback to evaluate how to meet our caregivers' and clients' needs. Thank you for your transparent feedback.

They come in, do the job, and then go. We have two caregivers coming to the house, two on Tuesday and Thursday and one on Saturday. We have asked that the one on Saturday to be reassigned. The one caregiver that is here every day is outstanding and the other did the job, but it was very brief. If my wife had an accident, they would change her and then leave, but the other one does more work.

Provider Response

Hello, Thank you very much for your feedback, and giving us the opportunity to correct what's not working. We are always learning how to do a better job, and sometimes certain matches just don't work right. Your feedback helps us find better matches for both client and caregiver.

It helped my mother a whole lot in her daily living. I would like a little better training, but I know they have a budget to make.

Provider Response

Hello Marsha, Your mother was an amazing lady. So blessed to have had an opportunity to care for her and support your family. You are absolutely right about providing more training. We have just launched a new 12 month continuing education program, in addition to our standard training, and are looking for ways for it to be better utilized and measured, so everyone has an outstanding experience. Thank you very much for your feedback again.

They were very helpful at the time we had them. I think it could be more affordable. I would recommend them because they were very prompt and flexible. They did what they said they were going to do.

Provider Response

Thank you very much for your kind feedback, Nick! I agree its more expensive than we would like it to be, but we pay our caregivers so they are happy, which ultimately leads to a happy and satisfied client.

They do not want the clients to be friends with the caregiver. When they found out that I was getting along well with my caregiver, they lectured me about not doing that. They did not want to tell me who my caregiver was. I did not want to open the door and know who was there. They still will not tell me who is coming.

Provider Response

Hello, So very sorry! We love that you are getting along with your caregiver. Sometimes, its easy to misunderstand intentions. Kindly call the office, and our Client Success Manager will be happy to resolve any misunderstanding! You can find out who is coming on our portal anytime, or if there is a change from your regular schedule its our job to inform you. Sorry that has not been the case for some reason. Again, look forward to hearing from you, so we can resolve all issues asap!

My dad has severe dementia, so they would sit with him at night to make sure he didn't pull on his wires. Essentially, they helped keep him alive. They helped us when we needed it most.

Provider Response

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. Our caregivers (who we call our change agents or Ambassadors) work very hard, and do their best. Our office team works as hard to ensure our clients and their families receive the best of care and support. So, thank you again for your kindness and appreciation!

I had expectations of my parents, but they were not able to fill that. I still had to be involved in the care. The caregivers did not take all of my duties away I still had to provide part time care. They are personal to the people in their care. The owner gets to know the patients, and I know that he gives extra training for any extra needs. They meet regularly with me to make sure the care is appropriate. They cared about my parents.

Provider Response

Hello Kathleen, Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with feedback, both good and not as good. We will continue to work on ways to improve how we provide care, how we support and coach our team members. Towards that end, we have just launched a 12 month continuing education program, changed our office team structure, and are also changing our approach on how we run our agency. Your feedback and prior discussions will help continue to guide us as we get better at what we do, and how we do it.

My loved one doesn't want to do some of the activities they do. I've had success with the people that they've sent, and most of them are older. My loved one can talk to them.

The showers are very good, and they wash the clothes very well. The caregiver came to me, and I decided that I would be able to have them take care of my laundry and stuff around my house. They haven't helped me much around the house.

It is just hard getting use to what services are needed. The caregivers seem to be very caring, and I like that they have a website where they document all the visits and what they did.

The best part was the conversations. I had very long conversations with both of them about a lot of things, and it was nice. It was a lot of fun actually. They were interested in me, and I could tell they really cared. We've had a long relationship with them, so we were familiar with them and felt comfortable with them. I've had nothing but good experiences with them. The people they sent were warm, friendly, and nice. Management was very competent and professional. They really do try to do the best for their people.

Provider Response

So very grateful to you for providing detailed, meaningful feedback. But more importantly, so glad we were able to meet your needs and help make it a little better perhaps. So glad!!!

They did little things that I couldn't do, like sweeping a floor. They offered excellent service. My only problem was that I didn't know that they were coming. That just got messed up from my doctor's office. I needed the help, I just didn't know they were coming.

When my caregivers aren't here for a day, I have to do what they usually do, and then I truly miss my caregivers. However, they need to be more willing to take me different places. I think the company needs to spend more time training their caregivers how to cook.

The cost is an issue. Their flexibility scheduling caregivers is very helpful. They had intake classes when I first stated using them, and the amount of time that they spent explaining things to me and helping me with the resources was helpful. They also have an app that is helpful.

I've liked the director's patience with my father and the encouragement of music in my father's treatment. My father can go on a schedule now that fits his needs and takes his time. He can have one-on-one attention, which wasn't the case in the facility.

I wasn't there when they were with my dad, but they were really easy to work with and get set up. I needed them in a hurry and they were great to work with and make that happen. My dad actually had fallen and was taken to the emergency room twice in a day. They immediately were able to go over there and sit with him to make sure he didn't get up again. Stress for me fell to a zero knowing he was being watched over and cared for.
