Our caregivers provide meals and help with hygiene. I like that they are a companion to my mother and help watch out for her safety. Both the agency and the caregivers are easy to have a relationship with.

My provider has helped me the most with the ease of knowing on a day-to-day basis, knowing the needs of my mom have been taken care of. They're very thoughtful, and make sure my mom is happy with the way things are being done. I like the ease of availability, expressing concerns, getting a hold of people, just being very responsive.

I think my mom is struggling to accept that she needs this help. But I think that the positive attitude and cheerfulness of the professionals has been a nice difference. They always call back.

Our 84 year old mother has been living in an assisted living community for 13 months before it was very evident that she needed added care. Our ‘Christmas Miracle’ arrived from Homecare Assisitance and from the very first day... our Mom had a sparkle back in her eyes with the SASS that we have missed. Living thru this crazy Covid time... we are comforted to know that Michelle is making all the difference in our Mom’s day to day happiness! Michelle’s work ethics has been over the top! Communication is extremely helpful for my siblings & I and have been very much appreciated.

I used two services from them, and one was more about cognition. The person that I was working with was very engaged and had a good feel for where we were going. We both knew when we had achieved our goal, and they put me back where I wanted to be. The second services were more of companionship and doing activities. They were extremely effective, and we realized again when we had reached the goal and the work was over. I used several services, and they were very well attentive and organized.

Home Care Assistance's caregivers were on time and they were very compassionate about my mother. Home Care Assistance was good about updating us on things that was going on with my mother at the nursing home she was in. My mother went into a nursing home and had a bad fall three days into her being there. Then me and my sisters were afraid to leave my mother alone there at night so we hired Home Care Assistance services. Those services helped to give me and my sisters a peace of mind so we didn't' have to be there for my mother 24/7 because it was hard for us to be there overnight.
