MARY R 2019-12-07 The impact was good. I couldn't challenge them enough after I became more agile. They could do things I couldn't do. They were very helpful. At the beginning, I was less agile. They helped me to get around at times. I am a past client of this provider

COLLETTE B 2019-10-17 I have had to be there on weekends to micromanage. They need to communicate and call because I was not called. We have 2 really good aides that are outstanding. The weekend care I went to a different company because of the inconsistency with people not showing up. I am a current client of this provider

LIBBY P 2019-10-14 They were willing to send a man because the woman caregiver didn't work as well with my husband. They worked around my schedule. They come when I need them. The gentleman that comes by is very helpful. I am a current client of this provider

JOHN L_11 2019-09-12 I don't really need a whole lot from them. Mostly they just help my wife out around the house. The only issue that I have had with them has been with the billing and accounting. I am a current client of this provider

ALICE G_5 2019-09-12 The caregiver is pleasant, component goes the extra miles, and makes sure that my wife get what she needs. We couldn't live where are without the services. They're responsive, and we have an excellent caregiver because she's resourceful. I am a current client of this provider

LIZ J 2019-08-16 They made a huge difference. My dad was caring for my mom which was not working out, and I live out of town. For one thing, we had to get someone in there right away, and they had someone start the next day. They are quick to respond. We went through a few caregivers before we found a good fit, which would happen with any company. The ones who have stayed have been excellent. I am a current client of this provider

WILLIAM S_1 2019-03-13 My husband was dying and I don't know what they could have done more. The caregiver was monitoring him to see if he was in pain. It took a long time to get my money back. I had to put a deposit down and it took a long time to get everything refunded. I am a past client of this provider

TIMOTHY C_1 2019-02-26 I just use them for transportation. Everybody that comes to take her to her doctors, my mom loves. On that point, they should keep it up. I have been using them for several years, but in the last couple of months they have been mixing up my mother's appointments. I am a current client of this provider

DAVE P_1 2019-02-19 They are able to work well with a patient who has advanced dementia, and I think that is not easy to do.

JAMES W_7 2019-01-07 It is alright and that is all I can say. They provide me with a caretaker and that is good. I am a current client of this provider

5 4 1

ARTHUR B_2 2018-12-14 It was a very little impact. They should not have just sat in the living room. I was recuperating from spinal surgery, and so there were a lot of things I couldn't do. They were pleasant but weren't interested in doing anything else except being on their phones. The caregivers mostly just sat in the living room. I am a past client of this provider

5 2 1

JAMES B_27 2018-11-30 The provider did everything right, I have no complaints at all. It helped me the most by providing transportation. I was completely satisfied with the service I got. It can be hard to find such service and I appreciate what I got. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

JOANNE C_6 2018-11-29 I had a lot of issues and the caregiver spoke with my doctor to get every detail. She really made sure she knew everything. I was very happy with them and the caregiver that I had was really good. She was there when I needed her. I am a past client of this provider

MARTIN "Marty" C 2018-11-12 They help with my medications and with food preparations. They're very efficient. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

HARRY G 2018-10-30 There are some things they could have done, but I am eighty years old and sometimes it's just rough. I can't drive and I need to get out more, but they didn't take me out because the company doesn't pay for gas. The service was pretty good and they did what they were supposed to do. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

ADELE S 2018-10-26 They are a great provider and have an impact on my mother. We have an outstanding caregiver and we are grateful for them. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

Anonymous_309 2018-10-23 They allow me to get the treatments I need. It's positive. It's not a problem with the agency, it's just that the process of meeting up and making sure it's the right person and handling that with the hospital can be complicated. I am a current client of this provider

5 4 1

VISHNAMPET V_1 2018-10-12 Some people are better than others. The workers have been very nice. Most of them have been nice. I am a current client of this provider

5 4 1

SHARON M_2 2018-09-27 The caregiver needed to be more proactive. It was ok. The girl that we had didn't take matters into her own hands. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

FLORENCE B 2018-09-21 The caregiver came for two days, then she stopped showing up. When the girl came over, she just walked in the house and sat on the couch with her face in her hand. She just kept sitting there. I am a past client of this provider

5 1 1

Anonymous_139 2018-09-21 They were calm, they came on short notice, and they provided excellent care. Any provider that came was good. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

BEVERLY F_1 2018-09-20 It made it possible. I would not have been able to do the things I needed to do. They went out of their way. I had difficult hours for them and they went out of their way to meet my needs. It was wonderful. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

ORA B 2018-08-20 Everything about the services is good. I think she just feels better in general. The caregiver is able to bathe her and everything. She's always happy when the caregiver comes. It's very uplifting for her. The young woman who comes is always punctual. She has a great rapport with my mother, who can be a difficult person. She is thorough in everything. She just goes above and beyond. She is very observant. She's just really great. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

DONNA E 2018-07-27 It is a tremendous help because I am simply not able to do everything, so this enables me to stay in my own home. They could have better responses to phone calls and notices from their employees. When my caregiver calls off, they don't notify me. I am a current client of this provider

5 4 1

Anonymous 2018-07-24 They wasted my time. I lost all the time I waited for them to come, and the time I took educating the supervisor that came to talk to me and give me all the paperwork. They seemed very sincere, but it was a waste of time because it didn't work at all. I would not recommend them. They could do what they promised to do, like in any contract. People that need Care Advantage need someone to do the work and not have to stand over the caregiver and make sure they don't leave. I am a past client of this provider

5 1 1

PAUL G_5 2018-07-24 I'm very physically restricted, so my caregiver does whatever they can to make things easier for me. They're a good conversationalist too, so that takes some hours away. I like their quick responses. They always seem to be there when I need them. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

MARY HELEN P 2018-06-29 They sent a nurse to assess the situation and then they sent an appropriate and good caregiver. I like that everyone at Care Advantage is competent, kind, and knowledgeable. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

Anonymous 2018-06-28 I don't think they change much about my loved one's life. They are reliable. That wasn't true at the start, but now they are doing better. I am a current client of this provider

5 4 1

LAWRENCE B 2018-06-13 They could have had a great impact on my life by being more responsible. They were rude. One caregiver left me in the kitchen alone and refused to get the medication I needed. They could have cared more. The attitude of the caregivers didn't seem like they cared about me. I am a past client of this provider

5 3 1

CECIL G 2018-06-13 They could show up to have a greater impact on his life. I would like them to show up at the time they are allotted to care for my father. I am a current client of this provider

5 1 1

DENISE H_1 2018-05-15 It was better than going home by myself after my procedure. It was a smart move to hire Care Advantage. The gals I had were great. They were attentive, followed instructions, and were very engaging in conversations. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

VICTORIA G 2018-05-15 The night nurse fell asleep when they were here. Care Advantage showed up on time. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

SUSAN G 2018-04-18 It is exceptional to have a stranger in your home that I can get acquainted with. It is nice to have someone that can help me go to the doctors and the grocery, basically everything that I cannot do anymore. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

MARY M 2018-03-14 It was a little difficult to coordinate the schedule and my mom's appointments. It would have been easier to schedule if they could text or email. The person they sent did a good job and was experienced. It was a real comfort to know that someone was there for two hours a day. It was a help for me. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

ANN B 2018-03-13 I called and requested to have someone take me to the doctor's office because I had a procedure I needed to get done and had to have someone drive me home. I called the office, and they wouldn't get back to me. I called them twice. My daughter had to take off work to take me there and back. I want them to return calls to the clients that are relying on them. That is a concern of mine, I have recommended them to several people, and the caregiver who comes to clean is very reliable and does everything that I ask. Until now, it was excellent. I am a current client of this provider

5 3 1

LORI M 2018-02-16 I think we've had some really good care providers and it was a good experience. I was given security of knowing my mother was taken care of after her surgery. The caregivers were good about helping her with her memory exercises. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

HORTENSIA C 2018-01-30 They lack communications between themselves and me when no caregiver is unable to come. Also, when someone new is coming for the first time, I am not informed. I can't even go to the bathroom because someone might knock on the door. I thought someone was coming today so I woke up early to see if someone is coming but no one showed up. I am a current client of this provider

5 2 1

DENISE H_3 2017-11-13 I would like to know who is coming to my home because I don't want just anyone. I wish I could select the girls that I am going to get. The services from Care Advantage have been very satisfactory. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

JULIE H_9 2017-10-24 I would recommend Care Advantage because the two young women who came were friendly, well-mannered, and willing to help. I just had them for one day. The service helped me because one of the caregivers made me lunch and wash the dishes. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

Anonymous_1541 2017-10-23 Care Advantage provided quality care. Care Advantage's services allowed me to have my loved one in our home. They provided me with extra help for what was needed. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

ANNIE D_1 2017-10-19 Care Advantage is reliable. We had Care Advantage for one day. The services freed us up in being able to do something we needed to go do without worrying about my dad. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

SHIRLEY H_4 2017-10-17 Care Advantage didn't have any caregivers to care for my mother in our area and I wasn't satisfied with them. My mother's caregivers did what they were supposed to when they were there for her. There were some times that Care Advantage didn't have any caregivers available to show up for my mother's shift. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

MARY P_20 2017-10-17 The caregiver from Care Advantage was nice, showed up on time, and provided very professional service. The services didn't have a huge impact on me because I only had them one day. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

SHEARIN E 2017-10-16 I would tell others that Care Advantage is a good company because we have been very satisfied with the caregivers that they have sent. The services make Sherry's life easier by helping her with bathing. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

Anonymous_412 2017-09-20 Care Advantage did what I needed done and took care of my loved one when I was out of town. We never had any problems with Care Advantage. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

ROXANA C 2017-09-15 I would refer Care Advantage to others because I like their responsiveness to my needs, and they have been able to provide someone when I needed them. The services provided me by Care Advantage have been very positive for me. The services are reliable and dependable, and the staff is responsive to me. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

JOHNNIE S 2017-08-24 I would tell a friend that the majority of the caregivers from Care Advantage are cooperative and diligent. I am in a wheelchair so the services are helpful in a lot of ways. I am a current client of this provider

5 4 1

MAYA M 2017-08-15 Care Advantage had some people who were very caring, but we did have some few issues. The service does require staying on top of things. You really need to pay attention to make sure things happen correctly. Care Advantage had someone who could stay with the client overnight. That brought us peace. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

Anonymous_468 2017-08-15 I would recommend Care Advantage because I've had good luck with them. I couldn't take care of my loved one without Care Advantage. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

JANE A 2017-07-31 Care Advantage is timely, and they're always able to get someone anytime I ask. I just don't need a lot of help so the service doesn't really help medically or anything. I am a current client of this provider

5 3 1

BRENDA H_4 2017-07-25 Care Advantage sent a great caregiver out to us. We were happy to see that the company was going to be able to do what we needed, but none of it worked out in the end. When the caregivers actually managed to come out, the services were fine. However, Care Advantage didn't inform us when the caregivers weren't going to be able to come to the house. I am a past client of this provider

5 1 1

PETER N 2017-07-17 I would tell a friend that Care Advantage is a rip-off. I've had three different agencies and I haven't liked any of them. I would like Care Advantage to encourage the nurses to spend more time with their patients. They were very sub-par. I am a past client of this provider

They were pleasant but weren't interested in doing anything else except being on their phones. The caregivers mostly just sat in the living room.

The provider did everything right, I have no complaints at all. It helped me the most by providing transportation. I was completely satisfied with the service I got. It can be hard to find such service and I appreciate what I got.

I had a lot of issues and the caregiver spoke with my doctor to get every detail. She really made sure she knew everything. I was very happy with them and the caregiver that I had was really good. She was there when I needed her.

She keeps me company. I am independent but she will do things that I cannot. I have someone here in my house just in case I need them to help me.

There are some things they could have done, but I am eighty years old and sometimes it's just rough. I can't drive and I need to get out more, but they didn't take me out because the company doesn't pay for gas. The service was pretty good and they did what they were supposed to do.

They allow me to get the treatments I need. It's positive. It's not a problem with the agency, it's just that the process of meeting up and making sure it's the right person and handling that with the hospital can be complicated.

The caregiver needed to be more proactive. It was ok. The girl that we had didn't take matters into her own hands.

The caregiver came for two days, then she stopped showing up. When the girl came over, she just walked in the house and sat on the couch with her face in her hand. She just kept sitting there.

Provider Response

I am so sorry to hear that this was your experience. This is disappointing. We would very much like a chance to show you the true value of Care Advantage's services. If you do decide to give us another try in the future, please contact me directly so that I may personally handle the arrangements. -Olivia C Jones, Senior Vice President

It made it possible. I would not have been able to do the things I needed to do. They went out of their way. I had difficult hours for them and they went out of their way to meet my needs. It was wonderful.

Everything about the services is good. I think she just feels better in general. The caregiver is able to bathe her and everything. She's always happy when the caregiver comes. It's very uplifting for her. The young woman who comes is always punctual. She has a great rapport with my mother, who can be a difficult person. She is thorough in everything. She just goes above and beyond. She is very observant. She's just really great.

It is a tremendous help because I am simply not able to do everything, so this enables me to stay in my own home. They could have better responses to phone calls and notices from their employees. When my caregiver calls off, they don't notify me.

They wasted my time. I lost all the time I waited for them to come, and the time I took educating the supervisor that came to talk to me and give me all the paperwork. They seemed very sincere, but it was a waste of time because it didn't work at all. I would not recommend them. They could do what they promised to do, like in any contract. People that need Care Advantage need someone to do the work and not have to stand over the caregiver and make sure they don't leave.

I'm very physically restricted, so my caregiver does whatever they can to make things easier for me. They're a good conversationalist too, so that takes some hours away. I like their quick responses. They always seem to be there when I need them.

They sent a nurse to assess the situation and then they sent an appropriate and good caregiver. I like that everyone at Care Advantage is competent, kind, and knowledgeable.

I don't think they change much about my loved one's life. They are reliable. That wasn't true at the start, but now they are doing better.

They could have had a great impact on my life by being more responsible. They were rude. One caregiver left me in the kitchen alone and refused to get the medication I needed. They could have cared more. The attitude of the caregivers didn't seem like they cared about me.

They could show up to have a greater impact on his life. I would like them to show up at the time they are allotted to care for my father.

It was better than going home by myself after my procedure. It was a smart move to hire Care Advantage. The gals I had were great. They were attentive, followed instructions, and were very engaging in conversations.

It is exceptional to have a stranger in your home that I can get acquainted with. It is nice to have someone that can help me go to the doctors and the grocery, basically everything that I cannot do anymore.

It was a little difficult to coordinate the schedule and my mom's appointments. It would have been easier to schedule if they could text or email. The person they sent did a good job and was experienced. It was a real comfort to know that someone was there for two hours a day. It was a help for me.

I called and requested to have someone take me to the doctor's office because I had a procedure I needed to get done and had to have someone drive me home. I called the office, and they wouldn't get back to me. I called them twice. My daughter had to take off work to take me there and back. I want them to return calls to the clients that are relying on them. That is a concern of mine, I have recommended them to several people, and the caregiver who comes to clean is very reliable and does everything that I ask. Until now, it was excellent.

I think we've had some really good care providers and it was a good experience. I was given security of knowing my mother was taken care of after her surgery. The caregivers were good about helping her with her memory exercises.

They lack communications between themselves and me when no caregiver is unable to come. Also, when someone new is coming for the first time, I am not informed. I can't even go to the bathroom because someone might knock on the door. I thought someone was coming today so I woke up early to see if someone is coming but no one showed up.

I would recommend Care Advantage because the two young women who came were friendly, well-mannered, and willing to help. I just had them for one day. The service helped me because one of the caregivers made me lunch and wash the dishes.

Care Advantage didn't have any caregivers to care for my mother in our area and I wasn't satisfied with them. My mother's caregivers did what they were supposed to when they were there for her. There were some times that Care Advantage didn't have any caregivers available to show up for my mother's shift.

Care Advantage had some people who were very caring, but we did have some few issues. The service does require staying on top of things. You really need to pay attention to make sure things happen correctly. Care Advantage had someone who could stay with the client overnight. That brought us peace.

Care Advantage is timely, and they're always able to get someone anytime I ask. I just don't need a lot of help so the service doesn't really help medically or anything.

Care Advantage sent a great caregiver out to us. We were happy to see that the company was going to be able to do what we needed, but none of it worked out in the end. When the caregivers actually managed to come out, the services were fine. However, Care Advantage didn't inform us when the caregivers weren't going to be able to come to the house.

I would tell a friend that Care Advantage is a rip-off. I've had three different agencies and I haven't liked any of them. I would like Care Advantage to encourage the nurses to spend more time with their patients. They were very sub-par.
