Apparently, there is a care plan which I have not seen so not sure I would know how well they are doing against it. They do not take initiative to handle things. Different person each day.

Actually, my mom is the client, but she's in end-of-life care and is nonverbal, so I'm managing her care. Care Advantage came well recommended - but I'm having trouble seeing WHY. After my mom's massive stroke, I contacted CA to arrange 24/7 in-home care for her final weeks. We are 72 hours into the relationship, and already we've had a 3-hour coverage lapse, and, FAR more important, two different caregivers have let my mom sit in a wet diaper overnight!!! I don't care about small coverage lapses. Things happen. Folks get sick, or have other crises, and call out. That's understandable. Sending out folks who don't know how to keep a patient clean and dry is NOT understandable. It's inexcusable. Credit where it's due: Several of the caregivers have been quite good, and the one who is here now is outstanding. I've requested that she be assigned to us for as many shifts as possible. The agency has been - less than responsive to my concerns. They were very apologetic and responsive to the coverage lapse, but that's of far less concern to me than caregivers who either don't know how to do the job, or won't bother! Situations like these are so difficult. I will probably never in my life make decisions or take actions where the stakes are any higher - few things could possibly matter more than making sure a loved one is comfortable in their final days! And I fear I've made a dreadful error in working with Care Advantage.

The caregiver just feeds me. I am very thankful that these services are available to me. I have had my nurse for so long, she is the only person that I know from the agency. I just know the agency's name, I am just there for the nurse that I have.

She's hard to take care of but the caregivers do a good job at it. They don't call us and let us know when the caregivers are coming or not. They wait until the day to let us know.

She sat in my living room and ate her food. I had to tell her that my living room is not for her to be sitting and eating. She left her container with a drink in it sitting on the floor. I don't know why she did that. She thakes what older people say personally. My mom has dementia so she says stuff that is not quite right. Somebody who is in this business should know better than that. My mom is not receiving any care right now, but the quality of care my mom had was not good. I already called in. I asked for a different caregiver, but in the meantime my mom went into the hospital. She should be out of the hospital today, and they are supposed to be looking for somebody different to start on Monday. They were not happy when I reported the caregiver. I was told that sometimes it takes a while to get the right fit. I was hoping the first lady would be fine, but I understood that I might need to call back and get a better fit.

I thought that they were taking fair care of him, but he thought that he was being neglected. His biggest complaint was that they would just be on their phones.

They did a lot of things for me that I can't do like vacuuming and scrubbing. The caregiver was a big help, she knew exactly what to do for me after her first shift. I have had four different caregivers in my house and I don't want to have so many different caregivers coming. There was a caregiver that I liked, but she got assigned to someone else.

They have been there when I have needed them and they have done what they need to do. The person that signed me up said that they had a perfect match, but the caregiver could hardly get up my stairs. The client can hardly walk on their own, so that seemed dangerous. The last caregiver that I used was awesome.

The Chesapeake nurse supervisor didn't show up, didn't call to let me know that she wasn't showing up, didn't answer my call when I phoned her an hour after she was supposed to be here, and I still haven't heard from her. Office scheduler frequently does not tell client when aide will be late or not coming. Notice needs to be at least a day in advance to plan for other appointments, order for rx pick up, and grocery pick up. Not able to take a nap when expecting aide, but I couldn't do so because I've been expecting visits from Care Advantage all afternoon. Instead of preventing stress and making life easier, it is disruptive, especially for people with disabilities and in pain. How difficult is it to assign someone the responsibility to plan arrivals in advance?

We've been with Care Advantage for a couple years, and the care has been spotty. Usually we have trouble on the weekends with getting staffing. A lot of times they'll say they have a caregiver that is scheduled, and they usually don't show up. For the last five weekends, no one has showed up. If the caregivers don't show up, it's very impactful. I can't plan anything. There were times that my daughter would have an event and we would buy tickets, and we couldn't do it. The fact that they're not reliable is impactful. As far as an impact on Robert, having an aide is very positive.

I would probably refer Care Advantage to others. However, my biggest issues are with caregivers that regularly don't show up for scheduled appointments, and the office staff is also difficult to communicate with over the weekends. The services with Care Advantage could improve by letting me know whether the caregiver is arriving this weekend. Additionally, calls to the local office result in a list of names of people without any indication of their department. I've requested that this be fixed, but no work has been done on this regard.
