ANNE P 2020-12-17 Having someone to care for my mother brings me a great peace of mind. They are very easy to work with. They are able to provide staffing for my mom, even at the last minute. I am a current client of this provider

Anonymous_4311 2020-12-14 It was painful to start a new IV every day. It was good because I was getting more hydrated. The people were not experienced enough starting IV lines. I did like that they were pleasant and reliable. I am a past client of this provider

CHARLES N 2020-12-03 The first young lady was not able to do much since she was too pregnant, so we did not ask her to do much, but the next young lady was cheerful and did everything that we asked her to do. The personnel was very personable and very, very helpful. I am a past client of this provider

ALAN P 2020-11-05 They are doing what they are supposed to. They can have more education about my condition. I would like the caregivers to know what the health condition is of the person. I am a current client of this provider

LILLIAN A_1 2020-11-05 They feed her lunch, bathe her and spend time with her during the day. It worked for me because I have the same person coming every day. I like that it's the same person. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

Anonymous_4120 2020-10-14 I wasn't even conscious for most of it because it was post surgery. I had a delivery coming and the caregiver did everything that needed to be done for it. They could have confirmed everything with me as the date I needed them got closer to give me peace of mind. I am a past client of this provider

ALFONSO D 2020-10-06 If they're not going to be there, they need to call a few days prior to let us know. Some new people need to be trained on how to transfer a person from a bed to the chair and vice versa. I am a current client of this provider

ROBERT S_1 2020-09-08 He does like it very much because he's grumpy, but they give me peace of mind about his physical safety while I'm at work.

ETHEL M 2020-08-25 Right now, we're working with Mom and slight dementia issues, so we're working on getting aides to come on a more regular basis. I like that they seem to be very pleasant and have Mom's best interests in mind. I am a current client of this provider

PAT K 2020-08-06 My expectation is that if they are notified the day before, they should have someone. They don't deal well with sudden no-shows, like when the caregiver has a last-minute issue. I am a current client of this provider

CATHERINE W 2020-07-08 They drive me places. They help me with shopping and appointments. They help with housekeeping and cook for me too. I was matched with a very very high caliber employee who is perfect. I am a current client of this provider

JULIE B 2020-07-08 It was good when they came. They did well and we liked the people. We never knew when they were going to be here. We had days when no one showed up and days where we were not expecting anyone and someone new showed up. We had a hard time communicating with the office and the people. I am a past client of this provider

ARTHUR WAYNE P 2020-06-24 They sat with him and talked with him. We only had someone from care advantage for just one day. They were very informative. The people they sent was good. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

Anonymous_3795 2020-06-04 They did everything they could and they were courteous, on time, they did everything that I requested. When they first called me to set it up, we didn't get it totally clear on what advantages I was going to have, so I think the initial call could be explained a little better. I am a past client of this provider

PATRICIA P 2020-06-04 She will answer the phone, hang out with me, and be my best friend. I like the people that they send. I am a current client of this provider

JIM D 2020-05-07 They need better trained people, people should show up when they are supposed to. Their scheduling and placement of people is unacceptable. Recently I was supposed to have someone here and they didn't show up. After a bit and I called and only then did they try to find someone. I am a current client of this provider

KAY R 2020-03-19 It made all the difference in knowing she was okay and not taxing the family very much. It was very helpful.

YONA E 2020-03-05 They needed to listen more to what I had to say. They should have not changed the caregiver every day. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

FRANKLIN H 2020-03-05 We had around the clock care for my dad so they made sure that he was comfortable. They made sure he had food and was bathed. We learned after the fact that they were not allowed to dispense medication and that made things difficult for us. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

RAYMOND G 2020-02-20 We have OT and PT services and we have a shower attendant who comes three days a week to bathe him and help him get ready for the day. They are a good match for my husband in the way that they play around and talk with him. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

ALBERT K 2020-02-12 They help the most with moving him from chair to wheelchair. They cold actually provide nurses. I have not been able to get nurses on Sunday mornings and I had to find my own nurses for some of the mornings. They just can't seem to find nurses and it is very hit or miss whether I have an aide coming in or not. I am a current client of this provider

5 4 1

DUC N 2020-01-09 They changed his position every two hours and gave him short baths. Some of them would do their homework or be on the phone with their friends, so I would say we had some ups and downs. We had some nice people, and some of them were average. Some that came didn't do anything, so we talked to the manager. They explained that they were short on people, and we understood that. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

Anonymous_3140 2020-01-09 They could have actually done their job. They need to hire better nurses. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

ANDREW C 2019-11-19 They took the time to find out what he needed, and they did a plan that would work for him. We were able to get service when we needed it, and that was the most important thing. They are very flexible. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

KARL P 2019-11-16 I had a hard time getting him to the bathroom, but I took care of him for a long time, and they told me everything I needed to do on my own. The aide that came was always there and wanted to do everything that she could do. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

HAZEL M 2019-11-11 I had to work every day, so I needed someone there on time. The service allowed me to go to work. They could improve their communication because the last day, I had a problem. She had apparently called out at 3 in the morning, but no one had called me until 45 minutes after she was supposed to be here. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

PAUL S 2019-11-11 When I had the regulars, they were able to take care of my needs, like activities of daily living. They helped with dressing, bathing, and fixing meals. Once I've got regular aides, everything works smoothly. They know my routine, and everything works smoothly. It's taken a while to fill that the gap since my regular caregivers left. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

Anonymous_2877 2019-11-06 I had just come out of a nursing home, and I was trying to get better. A couple of caregivers that I liked did very well, listened to me, and were very helpful. I'm not very keen on being sick, and I wasn't good at dealing with strangers. For a while, I was getting one caregiver that I was okay with, but then I had a couple of different people. I didn't like a lot of strangers around me. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

RUSSELL B 2019-10-15 In the beginning, there was a young caregiver that wasn't consistent, but now they've been very consistent. They always show up and the caregivers know what they are doing. They do everything that they say they will do, they have a good system, and the caregivers that come are really good. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

MARION R_1 2019-10-15 They seemed to help out, and we had several different people who were coming out. She received excellent care from them, and I had no problem with their staff. One lady in particular just bonded with both of us, and it was like she was part of the family. The care that my wife received while under the care of Care Advantage was excellent service and care. I would recommend them highly. I am a past client of this provider

5 5 1

5 4 1

Anonymous_2396 2019-09-24 I just felt that they had a lack of interest in doing work. They did not talk to him and do much with nursing. They just did not seem to have a lot to do for my loved one, but even with that, they were not doing anything. I had to help with my relative. I am a past client of this provider

5 3 1

Anonymous_2486 2019-09-23 They are decent. They do a good job. What they do is give my wife some slack at times, and they give her a chance to get out of the house. They could communicate better. Sometimes I do not get aides on time or at all, so I would like to get advanced notice about aides not being here. I am a current client of this provider

5 4 1

DWIGHT M 2019-09-19 They help me all the way around because I am paralyzed on the right side. They do all the general things that I can't do on my own. I am having trouble getting them here on the days that they are supposed to be here. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

ANDREW W 2019-08-26 I can go to work and know that my husband is being taken care of. I love the person that they are sending. We could not ask for a nicer or more understanding person. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

ANITA B 2019-08-26 When Nora was here, it was great, but now, they need to improve their communication. I think they need to call me and let me know who is coming. It is hard to know who to expect. I am a current client of this provider

5 3 1

GILBERT J 2019-08-23 They need to send CNAs that do all the work on the list that they gave us. The corporate office needs to focus on the instructions that their clients talk to them about. They need to send out CNAs who know how to manage disabled clients who can't walk. I am a current client of this provider

5 3 1

NANCY B 2019-08-14 I can't get ready for the day without them. It has a major impact. The aides that I have are incredible. They're not afraid of my condition. They help me and take care of me. This goes for substitutes and my normal aide. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

GAYLE R 2019-07-31 It was helpful to have a caregiver come in once a week to check up on my aunt. She enjoyed the services, and she felt that everyone was very nice to her. They did what was asked of them. One of the caregivers was outstanding, but another one fell asleep at night, so my aunt had to get up on her own. I am a past client of this provider

5 4 1

NANCY W 2019-05-23 I would have like better communication and more consistency in the caregivers. A lot of the caregivers didn't even drive, and that was one thing that I need. I had a hard time getting them to get me one or two caregivers during the week, rather than a new caregiver everyday. I am a past client of this provider

5 3 1

LINDA R 2019-04-24 The physical therapy is helping me get stronger. They're helping my wound get better. They need to let me know when they're coming before the morning they're coming. It's ridiculous because I have doctor appointments and other things that are arranged ahead of time. I am a current client of this provider

CHRISTOPHER C 2019-03-18 They come, and they give me a break. I get so used to them being around that they become like a family member. I like their effort and their time.

5 5 1

ORLANDO O 2019-02-27 I think that if the scheduler had called me back, that would have been good. Care Advantage had somebody doing the scheduling and the first two visits were with a wonderful caregiver. She had the opportunity to go and get more hours, so she wasn't available, so the scheduler called me letting me know that she would wait for the PT schedule, and she did not do that. She arranged two odd visits that conflicted with my schedule. I am a current client of this provider

5 1 1

WANDA C 2019-02-20 She gets me out of the house because I cannot drive. I have not driven for 10 years. I have autonomic system disorder. I will pass out when i'm sitting, standing, or walking. My caregiver gets my medicines for me. She takes me to get my hair done. She has given me my life back. I used to work for them back in the 80's. They are very good with patients and their families. They try to match the nurses with the patients so it will work out. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

JOAN W_1 2019-02-14 I am afraid now to have someone like her. I am in fear that if I fall asleep when my sugar or blood pressure is high, they won't do anything. They need better with communication and provide better care for me. The aide just watched me almost go into a diabetic coma. I am a current client of this provider

Anonymous_1566 2019-02-14 The aide needs to be more proactive in asking about the care needs of my loved one. I think they need to improve the availability of their aides. I am a current client of this provider

BENNY and JEANETTE B 2018-12-10 They should spend some more time listening to my parents and talking with them. They should be compassionate. The gentleman sales guy was great and came on short notice. We requested to have 24 hour care and to have the best person during the day. The people we have a night are outstanding, but our day person does not have a good attitude. They did not find the best person for the day. Instead, they texted out to find the most available person. A person had to cancel due to a death in the family and we had to find a replacement. Most of the people they send us are qualified. I am a current client of this provider

GEORGE C_7 2018-12-10 It's been good so far, but they could have the people who answer the telephone not be so blunt when I ask them questions.

MARY V_2 2018-11-29 They are very helpful with what I need, and they helped me relocate my belongings from upstairs to downstairs. They set my mother up downstairs, and they have been remarkable. They are polite, and they are respectful of your home and your belongings. They are good at their job, very respectful, very courteous, and very gracious. They know it's your home and they don't try to come in and just take over, they let you decide. I am a current client of this provider

5 5 1

WILBER B 2018-11-29 It's tricky because we had four people that we really liked, but when we had to find someone else, those caregivers did not know what to do. They did not respond to certain issues we had, and sometimes the communication did not exist and they did not replace a caregiver when we needed it. I am a past client of this provider

JOSEPHINE M B 2018-08-29 During the day we have a caregiver that comes in and does well. We have someone at night that does well, too, but we have a problem with filling the gaps. They do good as far as the daily needs. Sometimes they go above and beyond, which is very helpful. The care itself makes life easier. They have made a lot of improvements. One of those improvements is with the scheduling. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, and sometimes I just don't get anyone. I feel like they get the back end of the deal. I am a current client of this provider

Sister in minnesota 2015-07-14 Care advantage has exceeded my expectations on every occasion in both efficiency and professionalism. Following a car accident, my brother needed someone to accompany him to multiple doctor appoints take notes and communicate back to his care facility. Because I live in the Midwest and he is in virginia ACC arrangements were by phone and email. Both the office support staff and the companion were outstanding. I never had to worry about not having a family member accompany him or miss important information. I would highly recommend this mechanicsville VA advantage care to anyone need ring this type of healthcare support. I interviewed this provider

Virginia Johnson 2015-07-14 We have been with Care Advantage for the past 10 months receiving services for my dad 3 times a week for 3 hours a day. A few times I have needed to change the days an aid comes out due to doctor's appointments and Care Advantage has been very willing to work with us. Overall the majority of the aids we have had in my parents home have been great! The aids clean, help shower, prepare lunch, do wash and play games with my dad. Our hours are different than most families - 10 - 1pm. It has been harder for Care Advantage to find aids that will consistently come out but we have achieved that goal & we are thankful. I am a current client of this provider

MWManson 2015-05-12 Our family has had Care Advantage for the last 2.5 years! Our two sweet nurses Dawn and Elayne took great care of our darling Granny. RN Stacey is phenomenal and came once a month to check in. Stacey walked us through and helped us get more care and kept our Granny comfortable until the very end. Our Granny passed two weeks ago and we miss her terribly ,but knowing we were able to keep her home with us and care for her much in part to Care Advantage makes me feel so blessed and thankful we had each and everyday with her in the comfort of our(hers too) home! Thank you is not enough for the care this company has given our family. We are heartbroken to lose our precious Granny as well as to lose her nurses that we considered family.

Having someone to care for my mother brings me a great peace of mind. They are very easy to work with. They are able to provide staffing for my mom, even at the last minute.

It was painful to start a new IV every day. It was good because I was getting more hydrated. The people were not experienced enough starting IV lines. I did like that they were pleasant and reliable.

The first young lady was not able to do much since she was too pregnant, so we did not ask her to do much, but the next young lady was cheerful and did everything that we asked her to do. The personnel was very personable and very, very helpful.

They are doing what they are supposed to. They can have more education about my condition. I would like the caregivers to know what the health condition is of the person.

They feed her lunch, bathe her and spend time with her during the day. It worked for me because I have the same person coming every day. I like that it's the same person.

I wasn't even conscious for most of it because it was post surgery. I had a delivery coming and the caregiver did everything that needed to be done for it. They could have confirmed everything with me as the date I needed them got closer to give me peace of mind.

If they're not going to be there, they need to call a few days prior to let us know. Some new people need to be trained on how to transfer a person from a bed to the chair and vice versa.

He does like it very much because he's grumpy, but they give me peace of mind about his physical safety while I'm at work. I thought they were easy to contact and make arrangements. They were able to provide a caregiver in a fairly short amount of time.

Right now, we're working with Mom and slight dementia issues, so we're working on getting aides to come on a more regular basis. I like that they seem to be very pleasant and have Mom's best interests in mind.

My expectation is that if they are notified the day before, they should have someone. They don't deal well with sudden no-shows, like when the caregiver has a last-minute issue.

It was good when they came. They did well and we liked the people. We never knew when they were going to be here. We had days when no one showed up and days where we were not expecting anyone and someone new showed up. We had a hard time communicating with the office and the people.

They did everything they could and they were courteous, on time, they did everything that I requested. When they first called me to set it up, we didn't get it totally clear on what advantages I was going to have, so I think the initial call could be explained a little better.

They need better trained people, people should show up when they are supposed to. Their scheduling and placement of people is unacceptable. Recently I was supposed to have someone here and they didn't show up. After a bit and I called and only then did they try to find someone.

We had around the clock care for my dad so they made sure that he was comfortable. They made sure he had food and was bathed. We learned after the fact that they were not allowed to dispense medication and that made things difficult for us.

They help the most with moving him from chair to wheelchair. They cold actually provide nurses. I have not been able to get nurses on Sunday mornings and I had to find my own nurses for some of the mornings. They just can't seem to find nurses and it is very hit or miss whether I have an aide coming in or not.

January 09, 2020

By DUC N

I am a past client of this provider

They changed his position every two hours and gave him short baths. Some of them would do their homework or be on the phone with their friends, so I would say we had some ups and downs. We had some nice people, and some of them were average. Some that came didn't do anything, so we talked to the manager. They explained that they were short on people, and we understood that.

I had to work every day, so I needed someone there on time. The service allowed me to go to work. They could improve their communication because the last day, I had a problem. She had apparently called out at 3 in the morning, but no one had called me until 45 minutes after she was supposed to be here.

By PAUL S

I am a current client of this provider

When I had the regulars, they were able to take care of my needs, like activities of daily living. They helped with dressing, bathing, and fixing meals. Once I've got regular aides, everything works smoothly. They know my routine, and everything works smoothly. It's taken a while to fill that the gap since my regular caregivers left.

Provider Response

We are so happy that you had a great experience. Thank you for leaving us this positive feedback.

I had just come out of a nursing home, and I was trying to get better. A couple of caregivers that I liked did very well, listened to me, and were very helpful. I'm not very keen on being sick, and I wasn't good at dealing with strangers. For a while, I was getting one caregiver that I was okay with, but then I had a couple of different people. I didn't like a lot of strangers around me.

In the beginning, there was a young caregiver that wasn't consistent, but now they've been very consistent. They always show up and the caregivers know what they are doing. They do everything that they say they will do, they have a good system, and the caregivers that come are really good.

They seemed to help out, and we had several different people who were coming out. She received excellent care from them, and I had no problem with their staff. One lady in particular just bonded with both of us, and it was like she was part of the family. The care that my wife received while under the care of Care Advantage was excellent service and care. I would recommend them highly.

My mom wouldn't cooperate, and I wish they would have had some solutions. I liked the girl that we had. She seemed to be comfortable and to know what she doing.

Provider Response

Thank you so much for the kind words. It is truly an honor to help your mother. Thank you for entrusting us with her care. We do have a large network of caregivers that we can pull from other areas if you need a better fit in the home.

I just felt that they had a lack of interest in doing work. They did not talk to him and do much with nursing. They just did not seem to have a lot to do for my loved one, but even with that, they were not doing anything. I had to help with my relative.

Provider Response

We are so sorry to read your very important review. Our caregivers are trained to be in the home helping with daily tasks and we are sorry this was not your experience. We also have the ability to send a different caregiver with our large network available to us. We are happy to allow you to interview a caregiver before they start work to be sure they are a great fit inside your home.

They are decent. They do a good job. What they do is give my wife some slack at times, and they give her a chance to get out of the house. They could communicate better. Sometimes I do not get aides on time or at all, so I would like to get advanced notice about aides not being here.

They help me all the way around because I am paralyzed on the right side. They do all the general things that I can't do on my own. I am having trouble getting them here on the days that they are supposed to be here.

Provider Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so sorry that you had a less than perfect experience with our company. We will certainly work with our staffing department to find out what went wrong. Typically, we have a large network of caregivers we can call to help us in times of emergency.

When Nora was here, it was great, but now, they need to improve their communication. I think they need to call me and let me know who is coming. It is hard to know who to expect.

They need to send CNAs that do all the work on the list that they gave us. The corporate office needs to focus on the instructions that their clients talk to them about. They need to send out CNAs who know how to manage disabled clients who can't walk.

I can't get ready for the day without them. It has a major impact. The aides that I have are incredible. They're not afraid of my condition. They help me and take care of me. This goes for substitutes and my normal aide.

It was helpful to have a caregiver come in once a week to check up on my aunt. She enjoyed the services, and she felt that everyone was very nice to her. They did what was asked of them. One of the caregivers was outstanding, but another one fell asleep at night, so my aunt had to get up on her own.

They're very knowledgeable and skilled with what they do. I love the way that they handle my mother when they help her with getting out of her chair, and I love how they hold her when they're walking her. They're punctual and friendly.

Provider Response

Thank you so much for the kind words. It is truly an honor to help your mother. Thank you for entrusting us with her care.

They have helped with getting me situated with going to doctor's visits. They should improve their communication from the office regarding schedules.

Provider Response

Thank you for the kind words. We were obviously very sad to read that you haven't had a perfect experience. We will be sure to work with our teams to provide additional resources/training to make sure communications are followed through. We hope that we can earn that 5th star!

They didn't really impact that much because by the time my sister left, I could do almost everything, so I accommodated them. They were very good and did everything that needed to be done.

Most of the girls assigned are excellent, they have added to my life. They could bring supplies they need for the job, sometimes they don't have the supplies. I would like the people that come to go by the rules established.

We are so sorry you have had a less than positive experience with our staff. Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback. We will be sure to communicate this information with our office teams.

By NANCY W

I am a past client of this provider

I would have like better communication and more consistency in the caregivers. A lot of the caregivers didn't even drive, and that was one thing that I need. I had a hard time getting them to get me one or two caregivers during the week, rather than a new caregiver everyday.

Provider Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so sorry that you had a less than perfect experience with our company. We will certainly work with our staffing department to find out what went wrong. Typically, we have a large network of caregivers we can call to help us in times of emergency. Consistency is certainly something we can provide in most cases, but of course there are times of emergency we have to cover. Please let us know if this continues by emailing us.

I am a current client of this provider

The physical therapy is helping me get stronger. They're helping my wound get better. They need to let me know when they're coming before the morning they're coming. It's ridiculous because I have doctor appointments and other things that are arranged ahead of time.

Provider Response

Thank you for taking the time to give us this great feedback. We will certainly make sure our staffers are more aware and communicate with you about the arrival of your caretakers. Please feel free to email us if this is not happening.

They have helped out the most because they have given me someone to help me around my apartment. The professionalism of the office could be improved.

They come, and they give me a break. I get so used to them being around that they become like a family member. I like their effort and their time. I like how they learn to get the patient to cooperate because they can be very stubborn. They have a certain kind of talent to deal with people.

I think that if the scheduler had called me back, that would have been good. Care Advantage had somebody doing the scheduling and the first two visits were with a wonderful caregiver. She had the opportunity to go and get more hours, so she wasn't available, so the scheduler called me letting me know that she would wait for the PT schedule, and she did not do that. She arranged two odd visits that conflicted with my schedule.

By WANDA C

I am a current client of this provider

She gets me out of the house because I cannot drive. I have not driven for 10 years. I have autonomic system disorder. I will pass out when i'm sitting, standing, or walking. My caregiver gets my medicines for me. She takes me to get my hair done. She has given me my life back. I used to work for them back in the 80's. They are very good with patients and their families. They try to match the nurses with the patients so it will work out.

Provider Response

Wanda, we so appreciate your five star review. Thank you for allowing us to give back your life!

I am a current client of this provider

I am afraid now to have someone like her. I am in fear that if I fall asleep when my sugar or blood pressure is high, they won't do anything. They need better with communication and provide better care for me. The aide just watched me almost go into a diabetic coma.

Provider Response

We are so sorry to read this review. Please know that we always have a nurse stationed at each location and can be called for immediate health related questions. We are very dishearten to read this review and we will be working with this location to address your concerns. We welcome any additional details specific to your case to be submitted by emailing us.

It was not their fault. It was up to me to make myself better. Everything was fine except them calling me back.

They should spend some more time listening to my parents and talking with them. They should be compassionate. The gentleman sales guy was great and came on short notice. We requested to have 24 hour care and to have the best person during the day. The people we have a night are outstanding, but our day person does not have a good attitude. They did not find the best person for the day. Instead, they texted out to find the most available person. A person had to cancel due to a death in the family and we had to find a replacement. Most of the people they send us are qualified.

It's been good so far, but they could have the people who answer the telephone not be so blunt when I ask them questions. The two times I've called them, the person was very blunt and didn't really know how to answer my question. The aide that I have does excellent care.

They are very helpful with what I need, and they helped me relocate my belongings from upstairs to downstairs. They set my mother up downstairs, and they have been remarkable. They are polite, and they are respectful of your home and your belongings. They are good at their job, very respectful, very courteous, and very gracious. They know it's your home and they don't try to come in and just take over, they let you decide.

By WILBER B

I am a past client of this provider

It's tricky because we had four people that we really liked, but when we had to find someone else, those caregivers did not know what to do. They did not respond to certain issues we had, and sometimes the communication did not exist and they did not replace a caregiver when we needed it.

By JOSEPHINE M B

I am a current client of this provider

During the day we have a caregiver that comes in and does well. We have someone at night that does well, too, but we have a problem with filling the gaps. They do good as far as the daily needs. Sometimes they go above and beyond, which is very helpful. The care itself makes life easier. They have made a lot of improvements. One of those improvements is with the scheduling. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, and sometimes I just don't get anyone. I feel like they get the back end of the deal.

I interviewed this provider

Care advantage has exceeded my expectations on every occasion in both efficiency and professionalism. Following a car accident, my brother needed someone to accompany him to multiple doctor appoints take notes and communicate back to his care facility. Because I live in the Midwest and he is in virginia ACC arrangements were by phone and email. Both the office support staff and the companion were outstanding. I never had to worry about not having a family member accompany him or miss important information. I would highly recommend this mechanicsville VA advantage care to anyone need ring this type of healthcare support.

I am a current client of this provider

We have been with Care Advantage for the past 10 months receiving services for my dad 3 times a week for 3 hours a day. A few times I have needed to change the days an aid comes out due to doctor's appointments and Care Advantage has been very willing to work with us. Overall the majority of the aids we have had in my parents home have been great! The aids clean, help shower, prepare lunch, do wash and play games with my dad. Our hours are different than most families - 10 - 1pm. It has been harder for Care Advantage to find aids that will consistently come out but we have achieved that goal & we are thankful.

Provider Response

Thank you Virginia! Our aides have enjoyed your dad and we are grateful to work with your family. The limited hours are more difficult to schedule but we will always strive to work out a consistent schedule for you.

Our family has had Care Advantage for the last 2.5 years! Our two sweet nurses Dawn and Elayne took great care of our darling Granny. RN Stacey is phenomenal and came once a month to check in. Stacey walked us through and helped us get more care and kept our Granny comfortable until the very end. Our Granny passed two weeks ago and we miss her terribly ,but knowing we were able to keep her home with us and care for her much in part to Care Advantage makes me feel so blessed and thankful we had each and everyday with her in the comfort of our(hers too) home! Thank you is not enough for the care this company has given our family. We are heartbroken to lose our precious Granny as well as to lose her nurses that we considered family.

Provider Response

It was a joy taking care of your Granny and working with your family. We are saddened at your loss and are still sending thoughts and hugs to your family. I know our aides and nurses-Dawn, Elayne, Stacey, and our office staff- will miss seeing and working with you and your family so please let us know if we can ever be any assistance to you again. Thank you and all our best!
