From the first visit with a RightAtHome manager and explaining the services that could be provided by the agency, we have been delighted. It has been a wonderful experience for me, as it was definitely a hard decision to make in the beginning. My husband has dementia and I had been his full time caregiver for 6 years. RightAtHome provided us with a lovely lady with experience needed in our situation. She is very professional, caring and very conscientious in all that she brings to our home. She always arrive on time looking very professional in her nice scrubs with name tag on, a beautiful smile and saying 'good morning' . She helps my husband with showering, dressing, medicines and seeing that his breakfast is ready for him. Then she will change the linens and laundry what needs to be, makes the bed and also some light housekeeping. My husband's fav coffee place in town she will take him to, along with a walk when weather is good. He has a struggle concentrating on games, but she does try a few from time to time. We have a very nice relationship with her, she is very easy to talk to and with her 20 years of experience in the field of care giving I have learned a lot from her. A RightAtHome representative comes by our house once or twice a month which is always a positive time to share with her. They are always easy to get a hold of in time of need. Thank you RightAtHome for being available at the right time and filling our needs.

I would like for her to wash the dishes when she puts them away.
They need to have enough staff to cover for when people are going to be gone.
Provider Response
Hi Ray, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. We will absolutely talk with your caregiver and retrain her on cleaning and double checking the dishes before she puts them away. We have increased our spending to recruit, screen and train quality caregivers and expect that you will see a noticeable improvement for those rare occasions when a caregiver calls out and we send a qualified replacement. Thank you again for providing your feedback so that we can work on providing good quality experiences for all of those we care for. Edwin, Owner

I wish all the caregivers could be consistent, but they go on vacations and so we can't have them all the time.
They are consistent with the caregivers that they send out to help us.

When she's here I can leave my husband to do things.
I was real pleased with the caregiver that came on Wednesday. She was real nice and kind.

It was difficult because of the lack of communication. I always had to call them.
I would like them to improve their communication between the office staff and the scheduler. The caregiver had good communication.

They are supposed to be cooking for her. Every once in a while that isn't happening.
We can always count on them.

They bathed my son, cleaned his room, and took care of him.
I liked that their service was very good. They took into consideration our concerns. Our second lady wasn't trained well.

He has Parkinson's, he has macular degeneration and severe hearing loss. The girls fix his meals, and they communicate with him while he is eating. One of the most important things is the physical therapy. They keep on him to keep moving.
I love my caregiver. There are some things about the company that I don't like. To me, the girls work for me. Sometimes the company gives them a hard time about things like not understanding scheduling changes. I had someone here for 10 hours a day. I felt that the next day I needed a break. I asked her if she were to have a day off what day would it be. I talked to the company and the schedule changed for them to come every other week. When they weren't working, they would ask why they weren't working that day. There seemed to be a miscommunication. I don't want my girls to have to take stuff like this from the company. The company caused my girls a little grief.

I am a current client of this provider
He wasn't cleaned very well, and I have to ask her to do things. It makes me have to do more.
They could be a little bit more organized. The person who comes for my dad doesn't come on time because she has someone right before us. She comes 30 to 40 minutes late, so we don't get our full hours. They don't communicate very well, especially for holidays.
Provider Response
Jimmie, I’m sorry you had a poor experience with our service. We work extremely hard to provide good quality, affordable homecare and we are disappointed this caregiver did not live up to our standards. We have retrained the caregiver and want to thank you for taking time to let us know what you’re seeing. Edwin, Owner

I just had them for an hour a day because I had a hard time changing the sheets. They didn't come regularly.
They didn't get here on time half the time.
Provider Response
Ruby, I’m sorry to hear about your experience. We are known for our exceptional customer service and are disappointed we didn’t live up to those expectations in your case. Thank you for letting us know so we can retrain our staff on the importance of timeliness. Edwin, Owner

They could improve the punctuality of the caregivers because we had a couple people not show up.
I like the skills that the caregivers have.
December 16, 2019

They provided relief for those of us that were providing for my mother before.
They were limited in their employees that were available at the times we needed them.

Whenever I call to schedule, they are so nice and inform me of who is coming that day. They clarify any questions I have, too.
I like how convenient it is, and we have developed some favorite caregivers. They have also been a perfect fit every time.

I would recommend the caregiver who came to help me.

They would come in to bathe him and do those things for me so I could rest.
They knew what they were doing, and they were friendly while doing their services to my father.

It is more a matter of keeping him safe because he has dementia. They also prepare his meals and help with his hygiene.
Right now, I like that they have a male caregiver that meets our needs.
November 22, 2019
I am a past client of this provider
There was one lady that was good, and she stayed relatively good for the whole time that she was there. That was the only lady that I would say did a pretty good job. They send somebody different almost every time, so you never had the same people.
They need to have the women show up. Some of them would come in, sit down, and not do anything.
November 21, 2019

My mom loves her and she follows through with everything she's suppose to do.
I like that the staff is very responsive and helpful. The caregivers are wonderful.

They could do more activities with her other than her normal activities. They could introduce new things to her.
I like the flexibility.

They helped me a lot. She did my washing, and she changed my beds and sheets.
I had several girls before I had the last one, and she did really well. We got along well.
October 29, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
It is tremendous. I was pretty bad off when I first started. It was positive because it is nice to be properly taken care of.
The caretaker I've had for the last few months has been at the top. I think they could improve on having more consistency in caregivers.
October 25, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
Sometimes, we go a day or two without having a caregiver, and that is what has happened this week.
They have not been able to provide substitutes when the regularly-scheduled caregiver is absent.
October 09, 2019

The services have allowed my husband and me to spend more time with our children and not have to worry about my in-laws.
I feel like they're very quick to respond, and they really work with us and our goals.

Their care is spectacular. Without them, I would have to quit my job. Without them, I am hosed.
I already have done it. They have always been there to work with me. They have worked with the VA to help me get extra stuff for my dad.
October 03, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
I am with him 24 hours a day. He depends on me, and sometimes, it's nice to have a break.
They could do more. I have a husband who is wheelchair bound, and I would like for them to take him outside in the sun, but they aren't allowed to do that.
September 25, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
I have to get used to my husband's condition. The girls do whatever I ask them to do. My husband just doesn't like having anyone here. It's just one of those situations.
They've given me good caretakers and are able to make some adjustment if one doesn't seem to fit very well.
September 23, 2019

They help me out and do chores that I cannot do because of my health problems.
I haven't had any problems yet, and they have been very helpful.

I want them to be more consistent with the caregivers that they send. I have someone different every day. They also need to arrive on time.

They were good. They helped me a lot. When they came in, they asked me right away if I had eaten. I said no, so they prepared breakfast for me.
For me, they've been great. They've helped me out a lot.
September 10, 2019
I am a past client of this provider
They could have made my life easier by sending a caregiver who was more experienced and professional.
I would like them to send a caregiver who is professional and knows what they are doing.
Provider Response
Hi Josh, Thank you for taking the time to let us know how we are doing. We are very sorry that our caregiver did not perform as we both expected. We are currently upgrading to an entirely new training platform and sincerely expect that you will see a noticeable difference in the training our caregivers receive. If you’d like to discuss any individual caregiver or experience, I am happy to talk with you as we also offer one-on-one training to address any specific needs. Sincerely, Edwin, Owner
August 28, 2019

She actually did some work. Some just want to sit and watch you but that's not helping. They should be willing to work.
They need to improve training.

Our caregiver is amazing, and they are very flexible with us. It is a great service for our family.
I like that they have great communication.
August 26, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
Without them, it would be hard for our family to have him function the way he does and do our family duties on top of it.
I like how attentive the caregiver is and their communication with the office about his appointments and what he needs to be done.
August 14, 2019

It makes a big impact because I don't have to worry about my mother.
They are responsible with getting people there to care for my mother.

One lady burned my dad with hot water. They did not address his needs.
They just need to have people understand the people that they are caring for.
Provider Response
Hi Anita, Thank you for taking the time for talking with me about this. I am so sorry that this happened. We pride ourselves on compassionate caregiving and we are not happy to hear that we could have performed better. I’m so glad your father was not injured or hurt in any way. Thank you for your feedback in this review and in our conversation. If you ever feel the need to discuss this further please contact me directly. Sincerely, Edwin

They give all the comfort to her that they can offer.
I like the quality of the caregivers. They are very qualified and considerate. They let me know if there is something going on that I need to be made aware of.
July 24, 2019
I am a past client of this provider
It wasn't helpful to me. They can turn the negative into positives.
I feel like they didn't train their staff enough.
Provider Response
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback on your experience. I’m very sorry that this was a negative experience. I’d like to find out more about what happened here as we train all staff. Please reach out to us at your convenience so that we can learn what we can do to make this a positive experience. Thank you, Edwin

I am a past client of this provider
It was pretty positive, particularly with the first woman we had. We were in the middle of a move and the caregiver was able to give me help with putting things away.
A lot of that depends on the person that we had. We didn't have the same person every time. In the beginning, we were able to figure out the time that we wanted someone, and it worked out very well with that person. Later, the caregiver called me and told me that it was going to be certain hours, and I didn't have a choice of which hours I wanted. That meant that in the mornings I would have to prepare breakfast when previously the caregiver was making breakfast for my husband. When those times were changed, it didn't allow for her to help with bathing my husband. Basically, it was inflexibility of them being able to adjust the times to our needs.
July 15, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
They give my dad a bath.
They could have more care providers.
Provider Response
I feel awful about your experience. We try our best to provide top quality service where and when our clients request it. I’ll reach out to you to see if we can make this right immediately. Thank you for taking the time to provide this valuable feedback so we have the opportunity to improve. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you ever have additional feedback on our in home services. Sincerely, Edwin Young

The service is necessary, and they are supporting my mom. She would not be in my home without them.
They could pay people more so there is less turnover.

I liked the explanation of dementia and what things we can discuss.
The people that they send are just outstanding.
June 25, 2019

They have prepared meals for us.
They have treated my family and I well here in the home. They have done more things than I have known what they have done.
June 24, 2019

When they first came, I had them 24 hours a day, and they helped with everything. I couldn't do anything for myself.
I like that they are on time.
June 14, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
They have allowed me and my sister to have time off from taking care of my dad.
They could be a little more consistent in providing the same person to my dad because he has gone through a lot of people.
May 24, 2019
I am a past client of this provider
There was one who came that we were not pleased with at all, but the other was very professional.
They were very prompt in getting here and were very professional. We were pleased.
May 24, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
They allow me to go to doctors appointments and physical therapy. They drive me, as I can no longer drive, and that helps me.
I would like to see them improve with the choice of caregivers.
May 13, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
It effects everybody. The caregiving he needs is 24-hour care. Whoever comes needs to come on time.
It would depend on the kind of care needed.
April 29, 2019
I am a past client of this provider
I used RAH in Brenham for almost 5 years for my parents. The caregivers we settled on were very good in their care of my parents and their home. They took a personal interest in them and tried to be creative in enhancing their quality of life. They interacted well with me. That was helpful as I live in a different city. If there was a problem, we worked it out quickly. I was very pleased with our team of caregivers and give them high recommendations. My parents were able to stay in their home until they passed away
April 18, 2019

When my caregiver is here, she is great. When she is not, I do have difficulty.
I would like notification if a caregiver is not available.
April 15, 2019
I am a past client of this provider
The lady from Right at Home Austin West was wonderful. I needed somebody for two weeks for my mother and it turned out really nice. I would hire her again. She made sure she wasn't running away or getting lost, made her lunch, gave her breakfast, and reminded her to take her medication.
April 10, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
My caregiver comes on Saturday and she was a nurse for 30 years. She helps me get things done around here.
I don't get the care that I really wanted. I wanted it in the morning, but I get it in the afternoon. I need personal care on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. I only get care on Thursday in the afternoon, but I don't like it in the afternoon.
April 10, 2019

They are there with me.
They are very truthful. They tell me what they will and won't do.

As long as they do what I have on the list and do a good job at it I am satisfied.
So far they have done well and the caregiver they have sent here has been great.

I am a past client of this provider
They are wonderful people who do what they are supposed to do. They are good quality people. Lucia helped me a lot with cleaning, that is what I needed because I couldn't use my hands. She would wash the clothes, mop, clean my toilet and shower, and wash dishes.
I like the people they send here. They arrive on time, and they do what they are supposed to do.
March 11, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
The one she currently has is super encouraging, they push her to get up and walk, and they help her to do tasks rather than just doing it for her.
I like how involved they are with the caregivers and how often they check up with them, and how often they follow up with me. They even called to make sure my mom didn't need anything when we had some flooding.
February 20, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
My mom has really relied on them a lot lately. They're just there for her. Just having someone there with her makes her feel safer.
The people that they hire are reliable and clean cut.
February 12, 2019
I am a past client of this provider
It was very important to me. I thought it was good for a while. They needed to be regular and reliable all of the time.
I wouldn't recommend them. They tried to send a substitute, which I was not happy with. I did not like the substitutes they sent. There were some troubles with my caregiver getting here sometimes, which was not good.
February 11, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
If I get too far away from my walker, I am in trouble, so they remind me of that.
The people are friendly, helpful, and make sure I am balanced all the time.

It helps me a lot.
I like that they are very reliable.
January 15, 2019
I am a current client of this provider
I need a lot of assistance with showering and food preparation. They do a good job but they just do not stay long enough to help out.
Some of the workers rotate a lot and do not stay long. It would be nice to have them be around and stay more consistent.
December 19, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
They help my mother and my father. They do hands on things with my dad. My mother has dementia. They are kind, good, and thoughtful towards them.
I don't think anyone is perfect. The system itself is hard to deal with. People get sick. They really try to help me out the best they can.
December 18, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
They take care of my husband for three hours a day everyday which is a great help to me.
It seems like the people they send out don't have any training, they don't know what to do or how to do it.
December 12, 2018
I am a past client of this provider
They could have been on time.
They should have given me more time.
November 28, 2018
I am a past client of this provider
The caregiver got the work done, and I had a little spare time while they did activities with my loved one. I think the caregiver was good for my loved one.
I was satisfied with the helper, but I didn't have them long enough. I only had them for 2-3 weeks, but they were okay.
November 12, 2018
I am a past client of this provider
They were only here in the morning. The rest of the day and night, I was all by myself.
They are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.
October 30, 2018

I wasn't walking at first, and they got me up and walking around.
They are friendly, and we got along very well.

They are there for me and do a good job at providing the services.
I think they are conscientious and reliable.
October 26, 2018

The services gave us free time, and we were able to be confident when we left.
The office staff needs to have better communication with me.
October 15, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
They've been very open to suggestions and very caring.
They are very trusting and they are very steadfast. They've been more than we expected. It's been a lot smoother and easier than we thought it would be.
October 09, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
They take good care of me while they are here.
They provide very good services.
September 27, 2018

It took a lot of stress off of her and she didn't have to do much.
They provide really good service and are personable.
September 26, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
The communication is really good. Most of the caregivers treat my parents like they're family, and like they would their own family.
I like the way that our caregivers communicated with us on a personal level, and that they text me and that type of thing.
September 11, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
They help by giving me peace of mind.
I think they should make sure they have substitutes, and if they don't, they should let us know.
September 11, 2018
I am a past client of this provider
It cost me money and I got nothing out of it.
They could have succeeded in what they came for.
August 30, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
I don't live near her and there are places that she wants to go. They drive her places like to the bank or the store. They are able to get her out and that is a good thing.
They are pretty expensive. We have had them for three years now. I like that when a caregiver gets there, they use her phone to clock in and out. I don't have to keep track the number of hours. There is turnover but that doesn't affect my ability to communicate with them. I also like that I have a person to call to help and they always accommodate us. I like the automatic way that I can pay.
July 25, 2018
I am a past client of this provider
They were wonderful, and helped us out tremendously. They took a lot of the work, the daily care of my mom, out of our hands. It relieved us from that work.
They were very complete about what they offer when they came out, and when the ladies that came my mom were really comfortable with her and vice versa and they made her feel relaxed.
July 10, 2018
I am a past client of this provider
It allowed me four hours a day to be able to go and coach and go to the grocery store. It gave me a break.
They were wonderful. They had the necessary training and had a good rapport with their clients.
July 10, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
It's a lot easier on me because I had back surgery. I'm not able to do certain things for my husband so the help has been tremendous because they come in and help me for several hours.
I love the workers that I have, and the way the communication goes.
June 26, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
They help my dad with things he can't do himself.
They are really good at communicating and working with us.
June 19, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
They could improve by providing more personal care for my dad. We were told that they would assist him with his bathing.
I haven't had that much interaction with them. I like that they contact me. They could improve by having more training for their caregivers.
June 13, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
He is stuck in his bedroom. They never move him anywhere else, and they leave the bedroom a mess, even with dog poop on the sheets.
They don't keep my loved one or his house clean. They keep him sitting in the bed with the bed wet. Sometimes they leave him without clothes. I saw it with my own eyes. They should spot check the caregivers at random times to make sure they are doing a good job.

It would have had a greater impact if I wouldn't have had to retrain somebody every time or most of the time.
I like their availability in doing what I needed them for.

I would like more interaction with her, but at least we know that she is getting fed everyday. They're helping with cleaning as well.
They could probably interact with her more, get her to be able to shower, and watch things on TV.

They are there to be social and to give him someone to engage with.
Prior to new management, I would have rated them lower. They changed the entire office.
May 25, 2018

It has improved the quality of her life. It makes my life easier by knowing that there is someone else tending to her needs other than me.
They are very flexible. They are very personal. They listen to what my mother's needs are.

They were great. The caregiver was very kind and experienced. It was a good choice for us.
We had a little incident with the first person, but the next one was splendid.

I would have liked not as much turnaround so she was able to get used to one person.
I guess maybe there could be more licensed and bonded employees.

The cooking and the meals that they make are very good and the meals are easy for my wife since she does not have to do anything.
The caregiver that is taking care of my wife is an eleven.

It takes a lot of pressure off of me so I don't have to do the work.

It's made my life easier, they help her dress, shower, and clean up. They do a good job when they are here.
They don't have enough staff to be here when they are supposed to.

They have bent over backwards for us and have been helpful at working out a schedule to fit me as well as my loved one. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends. My husband is almost 88 and I am almost 87, and I have been taking care of him for over a year by myself. With their flexibility and ability to have a flexible schedule, I can make things work for me as well as him.

We have a very good caregiver coming. She's very compassionate with my wife. It's made a big difference. We'd be in trouble without it. They bathe my wife for me.

They have sent out people that are capable and compatible, but not always. I can go out, buy groceries, and shop a couple days a week without having to worry about my husband.

The staff isn't together and they have poor communication. The caregiver gives daily baths and helps get him dressed, and takes him outside. There is always something to do.

It's so expensive. We like it, but we have trouble affording it. They help around the house and running errands. Lower prices would help.

They're easy to schedule and they have available helpers. I've had other agencies where they don't have people in the area. Because of the services, I'm actually able to go out.

They haven't done a lot yet, but they've done everything well so far. My mother is 83, and I'm 63 and permanently handicapped. I don't have long myself and we're in a difficult situation.

Initially, they had said that they would bill insurance directly, and I liked that, and there was no deposit. Apparently, none of that's true. They send me a bill every week and they were dishonest about the billing. They were having issues with trying to get caregivers for me because I live so far out. They could have a greater impact by correcting the billing and caregiver issues.
Provider Response

Upon hearing about your experience, I reached out to you personally and I appreciate your willingness to discuss these issues.

They have been responsive as far as how to change care for my mother, and they are willing to listen and make those changes. I don't live in the same town as my mother, and so it's been invaluable to have them there and have people in charge. I go over every week to assess things, and they provide reassurance to me that I can still live in another city and that my mother will be taken care of.

Right at Home should provide more home care services. I thought I was going to get more than just a shower. My spouse is an MS patient and I didn't have a lift, so they couldn't help in moving him because of the fall risk. If the caregiver had had more expertise, they could have made our lives a lot easier by helping out more.
Provider Response
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. I’m really very sorry that we didn’t provide what you wanted when you wanted it. We take our client and caregiver safety very seriously and really really did not want to risk a fall of any kind. We’re so glad that the equipment is in place and we are safely transferring now.

Right at Home has done a good job with my mother. The caregiver that we have right now is doing a great job, so I don't have any issues. The services are helping out tremendously. They allow me to go out and run errands while the caregiver is here. Someone has to be with my mom 24/7.

I would recommend Right at Home because they're dependable and we're satisfied with their care. The service helped the client some because they were pretty much total care.

To get a good recommendation, Right at Home needs to provide better communication. Yesterday, we had a caregiver who had a flat tire and the office didn't contact me right away. Then they gave me the run-around when I tried to find out what was going on. Some of the caregivers from Right at Home are not qualified to care for my mother.
Provider Response
Anita, I am so sorry this happened. We have reviewed our process and made changes and believe this should not happen in the future. We sincerely appreciate your open communication of where we can improve as we are working hard to make sure this doesn’t happen again.Edwin Y., Owner

I would say to others to find another agency in order to help those you love. It was very hectic, but my husband was hard to deal with.

The first and third caregivers are on time for the services and are careful in attending to my loved one's needs. The caregivers clean my loved one and give me free time so I can get normal things done in the house, but I wish the caregivers could do more light housekeeping for us.

Right at Home finds good caregivers. The people Right at Home really know their stuff. The services from Right at Home are liberating. It is really helpful that the caregivers have provided me with some training. The client is bed-ridden, incontinent, and has dementia. Caring for her is a big job. The caregivers provide a lot of personal care for the client, including bathing and dressing. One caregiver in particular will visit with the client, and because of those visits, I feel that the client has seen an improvement in her cognitive ability.

I like the caregiver we have had, but the overall experience has been frustrating. We had a hard time finding a good caregiver, and there was a lot of paperwork.

I was pleased with Right at Home in the beginning, but as time went by, we were disappointed over and over again. Right at Home's communication skills are terrible. They don't communicate between departments. Information is not passed along and they don't communicate with clients well. We had a fabulous caregiver. I told Right at Home how fantastic she was. I would have liked to have her more often.

Suzann, Thanks for the compliments on the caregiver. We work very very hard to find, screen, train and supervise outstanding caregivers and truly appreciate your kind words as we feel she is fabulous too. Please let me know if we can improve in any other areas. Edwin, Owner

Lizzie is my husband's caregiver whom she is employed with Right at Home. Lizzie is very good. She does not have to be told to do anything. She is a great asset to your company. She is worth a mint. If she was an employee of mine, I would rate her as a 5-star & pay her top dollar.

Right at Home has been an absolute blessing for my family and I. The quality of care that was provided is indescribable. My dad felt like he had a true friend in his time in need. The caregiver provided by Right at Home was extremely helpful in assisting my dad with not only everyday chores but cooking, taking him to his doctors' appointments and so much more. If it wasn't for this caregiver the doctors might have never discovered a serious problem my father had developed after his surgery. I am truly grateful to have found the professional and caring staff at Right at Home!!
