It's good because we communicate and get along pretty good.
They help out a lot, and they do a lot for you.

The caregiver takes on new things, and I don't have to remind her to do things.

They need to send the caregivers when they are supposed to.
They need more staff. Sometimes they don't come.

My caregiver was fine. She helped me with my anxiety and every-day activities. She helped by being here. She helped with baths.
I would like them to be more attentive to a client's needs. They need to more caring instead of condescending.

He gets quite tired but the therapy works well and they work well with him.
They could alter the times that they come in. He gets quite tired after they come twice a day.

When they come in, they give me a chance to go out and run a couple of errands.
The issue I have is not the companies fault but is with the people that don't show up.

They would try to help him get out of bed and clean him up.
They were on time.

I think that the helpfulness depends on the individual. Some are alright and some are pretty good. Some of the caregivers need improvement.
In the beginning is was a very good experience. They were energetic and motivated. It hasn't been good lately. They know what to do, and they need to do it.
Provider Response
Thank you for taking the time to provide this constructive and valuable feedback. It is disappointing to hear that your caregivers have not been excellent care providers. We strive for all clients to be completely satisfied. We will work with the caregivers that have been assigned to elevate the level of service being provided by giving them access to more training and coaching. Thank you for your continued confidence in our company, it is our pleasure to serve you.

They mainly are here when I really need them.
When I call to say I don't need a caregiver, they need to call the caregiver right away and let them know because they don't always do that.

It's good because I have to have help to get up in the morning and get to bed at night.

I have problems standing, so a lot of the things that require standing, like cooking or cleaning, is where she is helping me most.
I seem to only have a legal problem for them not to be able to provide all services I expected, with the liability problems. I want someone who can go on shopping runs and to the post office.

They did what they were supposed to do.
The problem was not with them, it was just that I had to pay out of pocket.
Provider Response
Thank you for this feedback. I apologize that you had to pay out of pocket. Should you need care again in the future, we can possibly assist with some resources that can help with paying for personal care services. We have built quite a resource library over 30 years of service. I am pleased to hear the services met your expectations, and hope we have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

They have not been beneficial because I have not been notified that they were sending somebody new today.
They're not consistent with their staffing.
Provider Response
Dear Jimmie S, Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We strive to provide continuity, and consistency with caregivers.

The caretaker was late several times, and several times the caregiver would just not show up.
Their employees were not dependable, and when we got a dependable person, the office staff couldn't find us another person to replace her.
Provider Response
I am extremely disappointed to hear that Care Advantage was not a solution to your needs. I hope that you have found an agency to meet your needs and as a result are feeling some relief. I will address these concerns with the local branch team. We take this feedback very seriously, and appreciate you taking the time to share. Wishing you the best, Olivia Jones

They could show up to work and have someone here.
They could improve the quality of staff and improve having people to place in the home.
Provider Response
I am terribly sorry to hear that this is your experience. I hope that you can work with the Office Administrator to resolve these issues. You will be hearing from her today.

I am a current client of this provider
They have been very helpful with things that I can't really do on my own. They make sure that I have everything that I need. They could do the things that I ask fully without me having to ask them.
I like that they always try to send someone out the same day when the normal aide can't come.
Provider Response
Thank you for taking the time to provide this positive feedback. It is our pleasure to serve you, and we appreciate that opportunity.

We are not able to have them come more often, I just like the aide that we have.
They always check to make sure everything is okay.
Provider Response
Thank you so much for taking the time to offer your feedback. I am pleased to hear that things have improved. I apologize that you had an unpleasant experience with the first caregiver that came out. Sometimes it takes a few to find the perfect match. Please reach out directly should you encounter any issues going forward. Thank you for your business, your continued confidence is appreciated.

Right now I use them once a month to clean the house.
One time, I made an appointment for something, and they neglected that.

They were very fast and nice with me.
From my experience, they were pretty quick and I didn't have any issues. I only had some confusion about billing, and they took care of that.
October 23, 2018

They need to provide more consistent staffing.
Since we have been with them, we have gotten a different aide just about every day. There has been no consistency in staffing.
October 12, 2018

The services allow me to work one day a week and run errands the other days.
The person that takes care of my loved one regularly is very considerate, shows up on time, and is dependable.

They did what I needed to get done. My caregiver was proficient at what needed to be done.

They help with grooming and her personal care.
They are flexible and provide care when we need it.
August 16, 2018
I am a past client of this provider
They need professional caregivers who know what they are doing. The caregivers need to be trained on how to take care of the elderly who are bed bound. They should know how to bathe a person and talk to them. They need to learn how to change bed linens.
They have totally unqualified people. They didn't know how to handle my loved one who couldn't get out of bed. I wrenched my back and was out for 6 weeks and they sent the same person back twice.
Provider Response
I am so sorry to hear that this was your experience. I understand that you are no longer an active client with our agency, however, I would like to speak with you further about your experience. During the time of service did you connect with our Home Health Director or Office Administrator about these concerns? These are serious issues, and I would like to ensure that we address them properly to ensure that going forward all clients can be completely satisfied, and that our service are delivered safely. I hope that your back is feeling better, and that you have found a care provider who has been able to provide some relief. I am disheartened that we let you down, and for that I sincerely apologize.

They could send someone who is qualified to wash my loved one.
They could give me a permanent person. We had three different people in one day and didn't even know two of them.

July 17, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
I have some issues with them sending so many new people, that makes it different. They change every person every one or two days.
Most of the employees are responsible, courteous, and considerate. Some are not up to par but that's how it goes.

Having someone around saves me from falling and I get to take Care Advantage van to a wounded.
I would tell a friend that I have no complaints about the service. I have trouble falling and I was going up the stairs once and my caregiver put her hand up and caught me.

Everyone was very personable.

He is getting better personal care.
I think they should keep me more informed about who is coming over. My problems are more with the scheduling that with anything else.

They don't accommodate short notice changes that I have in the schedule.
I needed someone yesterday and they never had anyone who take me to the doctor. I had to change my doctor's appointment to different time. They don't accommodate short notice changes.

They do not effect my life, but they help my father by helping with general mobility issues.

I am in a wheel chair and my wife is 75 years old and the person who comes in does everything for us.
I think that they need to train their people more, when our caregiver gets sick we do not want anyone else because then we have to train them.
April 18, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
I would like for the care to be earlier in the day. I don't think I need as many hours, but everyone needs different things. They need to do everything that I like them to do.
April 18, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
The caregiver thought that my loved one had fallen, but the cell phone went out. The caregiver called the police to see if they can make sure if he had fallen. The caregiver called me when I was at the hospital. I like that they took initiative in investigating more with my loved one. The caregiver is good with helping out.
April 18, 2018

They're very reliable. I can call them at any unexpected time. They accommodate for what my needs are. It makes me feel very secure.
March 14, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
The only negative thing is the changing of who comes. I get used to them and then they send another person. The ladies that come are very friendly and wife is happy with them. One of them does her hair. I'm the primary care taker so it give me a break twice a week, which has been great for me.
March 13, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
I am on a level 1, and I do most things for myself, but my caregiver mostly grocery shops for me. My caregiver is a very nice lady and easy to get a long with. If she can't show, I will get a call, and they will let me know. There is no problem with the office.
March 12, 2018
I am a current client of this provider
The caregiver is very faithful and very attentive to my mother. The caregiver is very helpful and we have been pleased. The caregiver helps my mom with physical needs like foot washing and keeping her oxygen concentrate clean. They cook meals and check her sugar.
December 18, 2017
I am a past client of this provider
Care Advantage needs to have better trained caregivers. The caregiver that showed up was not experienced. Care Advantage helped free up my time, because the caregivers would sit with my loved one.
December 13, 2017
I am a past client of this provider
Care Advantage was very prompt in showing up and is very polite. Care Advantage was awesome and a great help. There were a few problems, but it was great. It freed up my time a little bit.
December 13, 2017
I am a past client of this provider
Care Advantage has really caring people; they were concerned about my mom. Care Advantage helped us and made our lives better by simply caring for my mother and I.
November 16, 2017
I am a current client of this provider
I felt that they were very thorough and in making a good assessment for the needs of the client. It isn't anything that they do or do not do. It's just that the client resists services at times.
November 14, 2017
I am a current client of this provider
I would tell a friend that Care Advantage is very punctual, they call when they say they will, and they follow through with me. Care Advantage has made life easier by being willing to help me out with my lymphadema pump.
November 14, 2017
I am a current client of this provider
I would tell a friend that Care Advantage sends caregivers who arrive on time and they take care of me. Care Advantage makes life easier by being here when I need them and to bring me what I need.
November 13, 2017
I am a past client of this provider
Care Advantage could improve by paying the caregivers more so they'll do what they're supposed to do. The caregivers tell us they aren't paying much. Care Advantage could have made things easier for my loved one by having the same caregiver come here.
Provider Response
Thank you for your feedback Albert. We have given two significant increases to our caregivers over the last year, the most recent was in July of 2018. We have also made changes to our on-boarding process in an effort to better prepare caregivers for the delivery of service. Your feedback is important to us, and we are thankful that you have taken the time to share. Continuity of care is paramount, I apologize that we didn't provide that for you.
October 25, 2017
I am a current client of this provider
Care Advantage gives prompt service. Care Advantage's services are provided through their caregivers, and sometimes their caregivers are not available. They need to staff more caregivers.
October 18, 2017
I am a current client of this provider
Care Advantage has very compassionate nurse-aides, and they know what the job expectations are. My mother gets care five days a week, and this allows her to be independent and still have the help she needs. She has bonded with her caregiver it helps my mother want to get better.
October 17, 2017
I am a past client of this provider
Care Advantage actually showed up and they are very nice. The caregivers are considerate of me and very professional. The first two caregivers were something I desperately needed. They stayed at night time for me, and one would come back for the day which was very commendable.
October 16, 2017
I am a current client of this provider
I would recommend Care Advantage because the caregivers they send are pretty good, but they always send me different ones. I like that they always send me caregivers on the weekends. However, some of them will do nothing until I tell them what to do. And some of them are on their cell phones or watch my television. Care Advantage makes life easier by coming in and doing things that are too hard for me to do.
September 28, 2017
I am a current client of this provider
I would recommend Care Advantage because my mom and sister have been pleased with the service. For the short time that my mom's been receiving care, it's helped her some. The caregiver does light housekeeping and has gone to the store for her and that's been a big help.
September 15, 2017
I am a current client of this provider
If a friend had a serious case which required a lot of retention, it stands to have a little bit more attention than what Care Advantage can provide. I'm able to do a lot for myself, but if it were a case with a caregiver that I've had before, I don't know if they could do everything they would need. I don't have a caregiver every day of the week. I once had a caregiver who just slept through her shift on my recliner. If my caregiver is going to be sitting there snoring, I don't want to go and wake her up because I don't think she will do a good job anyways.
August 25, 2017
I am a current client of this provider
Care Advantage has great caregivers. The services have made my mother's life easier by getting her back and forth to the doctor and getting food. She is alive because of Care Advantage.
August 15, 2017
I am a past client of this provider
I would call Care Advantage a month and a half in advance to ensure that a caregiver would be available for my daughter, and one time they said that they forgot. I had the name and date of who I spoke with too. I never had a consistent caregiver, and my daughter's care is very specialized, so I would have to take off of work to train these people. It came to the point where I could just work from home and save money. I was having to stay at home and wait for the caregiver and train them. I didn't feel that they could perform simple tasks of transferring my daughter to her wheelchair. I was not impressed with the skill level of the caregivers that were sent to us.
July 28, 2017
I am a past client of this provider
I wouldn't recommend Care Advantage because their caregivers did not seem to know what they were here to do. Care Advantage could have had a positive impact if they had the right attitude about what they were supposed to be doing here.
July 27, 2017
I am a current client of this provider
Care Advantage is dependable, and they are here when they say they'll be. Care Advantage's employees help me with my bath and they fix my breakfast.
July 27, 2017
I am a current client of this provider
Care Advantage's employees in the office do not return my phone calls. My caregivers have made my life easier by being really sweet. They are taking are of me and doing their job.
July 26, 2017
I am a past client of this provider
Care Advantage was dependable and professional. The security of knowing that my mother was being taken care of when I wasn't home was the most helpful part of her services for me.
July 17, 2017
I am a current client of this provider
When called for in advance, Care Advantage doesn't seem to always come through. I don't hear from them until the last minute. Care Advantage could make life easier for me by having better communication.
December 10, 2013
I am a past client of this provider
When I was in need of care for my son, I called Care Advantage. They did an excellent job providing care for him. Their staff was friendly and professional. It was nice having peace of mind knowing that he was so well taken care of. I would highly recommend Care Advantage to anyone who was in need of personal care or skilled care assistance for their loved one.

I am a friend or relative of a resident
We've been using Care Advantage since December. It is a Medicaid approved healthcare provider. We interviewed some of the caregivers and chose one. My grandmother is 96 years old. It's the same caregiver that would come in all the time, and she's really good.
