Care Advantage - Roanoke

MADELINE W

They were always there for my mother Monday through Friday. We had a fantastic caregiver, but the weekend staff wouldn't show up at time.

Provider Response

BUDDY M

The caregiver interacted with my dad very well. The agency was a little slow to start getting regular aids, but after we found one, she did an excellent job.

Provider Response

SHARON R_1

We need to be able to depend on them more. You can't use the service if they're not dependable.

LENA W

They have made my experience positive for me by cleaning. I like how they are kind to me and there is no rush.

SARA K

They could have done the chores I asked them to and not sit on the phones and laptop watching movies. They could improve for the CNAs to travel outside of the home with you.

STEPHEN O

They could be more consistent. Sometimes they call last minute with a change, and it is hard for someone with dementia to adjust. They work well in trying to place people.

Provider Response

SHIRLEY L_2

I like the consistency. I like the fact that my mother is with the same caregiver. They went through a few to find the one that he has now.

DORIS S_2

It is helping me a lot. The girl that I got I really liked, she is an excellent worker, she won't sit down. I just started with them about 2 weeks ago, and it is different for me with being the client instead of me taking care of people.

Anonymous_7616

Some of them had a positive impact on his life. One of our caregivers was really good, and some weren't. Some of them were well-trained, and then some of them were not at all well-trained. They cancelled out on me several times and left me having to stay there eight hours a day to help my brother out. They were never able to replace those that couldn't come in.

Provider Response

PATRICIA R_3

It took a long time for the agency to find a long term caregiver, but she is very good. I like my new caregiver.

Provider Response

Anonymous_7623

They got the job done when cleaning me. It did take them forever. They can improve by having a larger pool of workers. When they take on a client, they need to address the client's issues more. They need to have set workers.

Provider Response

LESLIE K

It helps because I have nobody else to do that for me. I like the person that has been taking me to my tests. She is wonderful and shows up early.

Provider Response

DEBRA O

They've only come out here one time, I haven't been home, I have had a doctor's appointment, but they did an excellent job. I don't talk to anybody. If I had the chance to recommend it to someone, I would.

Provider Response

BETTY M_2

They have made it positive because I called them and two days later they came to inspect, and then 3 days later we had it done. That's the great part. I would recommend them because the specific worker we have is very caring and loving. I would recommend them based on her.

Provider Response

ROSE H_1

The attitude they provide helps me. They call you and let you know if they can't make it.

They helped me get back to living alone. They come over and do their job as they should.

HELEN G

It is not a very good impact. Some girls will sign up and say they will work the weekend and they don't. The screening of the applicants, maybe should be a little better.

Provider Response

NANCY S_2

I've been taking care of her, until we got Care Advantage. It gives me a break. I like that most of the employees are knowledgeable.

They assign good workers as caregivers. I like my caregiver.

They do things for him that I can't like giving him a bath. They have got good people working for them, and they provide the care that we need.

Provider Response

DELORES L

They helped the most with having someone watch her. She was pretty sick at the time. I liked that they were there when we needed them.

Provider Response

MARY H_4

The caregiver also takes the dog I have, she also does whatever I ask her to do. I like them, they answer my questions, and they also sent me a good caregiver who comes every day.

Provider Response

RAYMOND B

When they show up, it is very helpful. It depends on the staff. The staff need to maintain the schedule. Sometimes they don't have coverage. Sometimes they are late.

Provider Response

ROBERT S_6

The caregivers helped the most by just being there. They were the only one to call me back of the 4 I contacted for 24/7 care. I liked that they provided staff when needed. When I had two issues, they corrected that promptly.

Provider Response

They did find somebody to replace a caregiver. I like that they were able to give me an aide.

The caregiver bathes him, shaves him, and does his laundry. All the things we need to be able to keep him home. Our caregiver is awesome and reliable.

They need to send people who aren't rude or hateful. They need to follow the schedule. They need to manage their staff better. They need to listen to complaints.

KATHERINE F

They provide the care that my sister needs. I like their communication.

Provider Response

SHELBA E

One caregiver specifically, Chasity, was very consistent, as she was coming in every morning during the week. She would even provide a text daily of how my mom was doing to keep me informed. I would tell a friend that Care Advantage is reliable and can be accommodating of those living in a further location.

Provider Response

Anonymous_7295

I was paying that much money just for them to be on their phones, the idea was for them to help her. The service was awful, I fired 2 caregivers. My mom was in the hospital with covid and when we got to get back in the rehab I found out they roamed the halls and were not taking care of her.

Provider Response

SHIRLIE S

They didn't impact her at all. It wasn't what we were looking for at the time. I would recommend them if they needed more advanced medical care.

Provider Response

SHERIAN W

The provider helped me with the cleaning. The agency could improve on scheduling.

Provider Response

MARGIE J

They have made her experience positive by providing her with a worker that goes above and beyond. I like that it has been a reliable agency.

Provider Response

EDWARD S

I particularly like the guy. He's young, and I like being around young people - we could talk pretty well. He challenges me with his thoughts, and I like that. Not only that, but he's very polite. They could be more organized.

Provider Response

ANNE G

It didn't seem like people were even trained. They should manage their workers better.

Provider Response

TOMMY B

It gives me a chance to get my errands done and he just likes company. The person that comes to us is very dependable. She is very kind and we get the same person every time.

Provider Response

BHADRAKUMAR S

The main caregiver that comes is really good, but sometimes she does not come and they have to send someone else that is not as trained. He needs it because cannot walk. I like that most of the caregivers that come to come in are professional.

Provider Response

NANCY M

The care is very important to my parents, my mother needs help 3 times a week to get to dialysis. I would like to see better communication to all people involved, it seemed like one hand didn't know what the other hand was doing.

Provider Response

ALONZA P

The services have put me under more stress. Care advantage could have more reliable caregivers and the corporate office could call me back when I have complaints.

Provider Response

GAYAT R

They need to come on time, leave on time, do all the necessary caregiving stuff with a happy face. I would like to see that they provide the right caregiver, and one caregiver, instead of one each time they come. They have been sending me five different caregivers in the five times I have used them. A lot of them aren't permanent, and it is hard to adjust to each person.

Provider Response

Anonymous_7084

The caretaker was not there very often. There were no replacements for her when she didn't show up. The person that came in the home didn't do much. They didn't give any care for the client. They were really unreliable, and it was overpriced.

Provider Response

BARBARA G_3

I need help with lifting and I have difficulty walking, so the physical therapist has been the most helpful. The agency could let me know when someone is not going to show up.

Provider Response

My caregiver mops the floor and does the dishes. Sometimes they make food. They take care of me and do everything needed to be done.

Provider Response

CAROL K

They have been very responsive. Quality of personnel needs improvement.

The agency has helped us the most by bringing someone to the house to talk to. I would recommend them more if the girls were paid better. They have never complained but I just feel like they are working to support their family.

They have helped me the most with getting out and doing housework. I would like them to come and check on you, the people that work in the office.

The agency has helped me the most with a caregiver because I don't know what I would do without her. I like this agency because she sent someone that is flexible.

She makes it a lot safer for me. I would tell a friend they are pretty good and I like the lady they sent out.

It made my life easier when they showed up, but I had to be with her 24/7 when they didn't come. We had so many problems with no-shows.

The services have been pretty good. This agency is reliable even while being short-staffed.

Provider Response

We weren't used to having someone in our home. They are short staffed. The staff was reliable, however there needs to be a backup person.

We had some issues with scheduling. It allowed me to do my other work. I was able to get the coverage I needed.

She is predisposed to not care for them; so it's not a failure on their part; she just wants me there. I like the flexibility.

Provider Response

They have someone there with the client. We could get someone quickly.

They showed me how to do things and explained how I could do things for myself. They explained how to do things easier and better. They could have started my care earlier.

They are great at following up on things I have asked about. I like that they have sent me good caregivers.

Provider Response

JOHN S_3

I worry the whole time I am gone. There is no consistency. I've had people not show up and some caregivers are not paying attention. It does depend on the person.

Provider Response

SUSAN D

It was great to have someone there to watch her, but they could not administer her any medication. We had two or three people that were really terrific and there was one that we did not want to come back.

Provider Response

CAROLYN G

It turned my anxiety into something that I was just shaking all over. I only calmed down once they left. I would not turn them loose on my friends. They need to come in and do what they're hired for instead of coming in to sit down and watch television.

Provider Response

They kept an eye on her and made sure she was safe and secure. They didn't need to interact with my mom and they all wanted to go into her room and occupy her when I told them not to.

They need to be able to find someone for her is the caregiver calls out. The caregivers are wonderful, but the staff is not able to find a replacement for the regular, if she is not coming.

She is able to take showers and the caregiver helps her in that capacity and it helps that the caregiver is female. The person I have right now taking care of mom is remarkable.

The agency is reliable and Rita works well with me. I like this agency because they gave me a good caregiver to help me.

Provider Response

CAROLYN P

The care takes a load off of me since they provide care through the night, so I can get some sleep. I would like them to have people on stand by to fill in when they have people call out. They also need to inform them of the patients needs so that they know what they are doing when they get here.

Provider Response

DIANE G

They could have showed up every day. They could be more consistent with the care. They didn't show up a lot of times.

It has been a huge help around the house with laundry, cooking, etc. They have been very good at picking caregivers. They made the switch pretty quickly when we wanted a different caregiver.

They are absolutely wonderful. They have been with my father and helped him get up and moving. I like that hey are quick to respond when I call and they are very supportive.

Provider Response

CLAUDE G

The caregiver said that she didn't sign up for this because the client was being combative. She overdosed him on morphine and when I got there he was completely unresponsive. She let him fall and cut his arms up. We had a really bad experience with one caregiver.

They do chores for me and run errands for me. They are pleasant and they do the work they need to.

The caregiver offers companionship a few afternoons a week. I know that my mom is not sleeping all day. The client does so much better on the days that the caregiver is there. They will talk with you on the phone and go over any questions that you have and the coverages that they offer.

BARBARA C_2

It is great when they are there. When they come they vacuum, shower her, and they do laundry. I have no problem with the people they have sent. They have been amazing; however, when they don't show up such as today, it leaves us without a caregiver. They don't have enough on call staff. The caregivers were supposed to be there at 9:30 and they didn't show up. The office didn't even notify me of that. I had to call them myself. I am very disappointed in that. It makes me have to leave my job and there are some days I can't. That leaves her without food and leaves her in bed.

Provider Response

I have high standards, but the caregiver doesn't always call when she comes.

They could talk to the nurses and bring them up to date with what is needed. I don't think the nurses or caregivers are briefed on the individuals as far as their problems are and what they need.

They did not have a person to be able to fill in, and they had to cancel on us a few times. I had a woman come, and her car broke down in my driveway. Another one came in an Uber because she had no other means of transportation. I think of them like an Uber. They send whatever works and is closest to me that can make things happen.

The gentleman that is a RN came to visit me before the girls came to provide care. He asked if I had trouble getting in and out of bed, he asked if I wore pull ups and then said they would get me a hospital bed and more pull ups. He never has gotten them though. I know he is rushed to death since he has to interview all the new clients. The first girl that came here sat on my couch the whole time. She didn't do any work. I didn't know how things were supposed to work. The second one worked fine and had a wonderful personality, but there was a problem. She had gonorrhea, and I could not accept that at all. As soon as my sister heard that, she went ballistic. The caregiver had her cell phone charging at my home, and I heard the doctor tell her her diagnosis, and she needed to go to the doctor right away. I worked at the hospital, so I know about these things. With my health, I cannot have anything like that. I think everything else was fine until then.

Provider Response

We had one person that wore headphones, watched movies, and didn't interact with my mom. They should've understood how to deal with an elderly person and showed up on time.

The thing that I never understood is why these caregivers can't drive to their jobs. They got a ride from Uber, and it puts a big red flag up when you see that. The night caregiver was good. They needed to have more training in caring for elderly or sick patients. They came in and sat down and didn't do anything. They wouldn't even check on my loved one. They played on their phones and watched TV. They also stole from me.

I think their employees could have been more attentive. Their communication skills are horrid. My caregiver did not show up this morning. I told them that I would need extra care, and I told them ahead of time. I called the office, and they told me that they couldn't get in touch with my caregiver for over two weeks, and they didn't find me a replacement. They called me and asked if I have heard from the caregiver, and I said no. I don't even know if I will get care during the time I requested.

I have to call family and friends over to do what they are supposed to do when they don't provide me care. I need someone to help me, and it has a big impact on my health. I need a lot of assistance, and I am not getting the service I am paying for. I am not ever going to refer anybody else to them. They have given me poor service. They need to have an aide on duty every day for five days a week. They need to get a staff coordinator. They need to get more people to work and pay them more money so they will stay and do a professional job. I might looking for another company soon.

I'm fighting stage four cancer. She does what she's supposed to do and sometimes I'm sick and sometimes I'm not, and she has this sixth sense about when to pay attention to me and when to take care of what needs to be taken care of so I don't have to direct her or anything. The lady that I've got is a perfect match for me.

I want to keep a steady and dependable caregiver. All of the other companies cannot pay for their help, so I would take them over any of the other companies in this valley.

They're very poor. They're very poor. One caregiver helped to some degree. The first caregiver sat on the couch and used their phone a lot. They complained it was too far to drive. They complained about cleaning. They sent another caregiver who left early a few days. Then they sent another caregiver who spent most of the time asleep on the couch. They complained about my loved one.

They spend time with her, talk to her, keep her clean, and help her move since she can't really get around. They get her in her wheelchair. They take her outside and take her places. They make life easier for her. When we first started, some people wouldn't show up on a Saturday or a Sunday.

They have stayed with my mother and kept her company because she is a fall risk. They could be on time, and find us one caregiver, instead of one every week.

When one of the ladies is not going to show up they need to call us and sometimes they don't have a qualified substitute. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is not.

DOROTHY M_8

The caregivers have good bedside manners, which helps me stay positive. I like how most of the caregivers have good personalities and are efficient.

JUDY M

The main thing I like is the peace of mind. Most medical people will tell you that most Dementia patients would never get better, but we have had some good caregivers that are top-notch at taking care of her. Most of the people we have had have been able to get my wife walking and talking.

BETTY JO H

When I first got them, they were supposed to send me someone who could come in and fix me meals four or five times a week, and they never did that. They don't follow through. I have made phone calls and they were supposed to call me back and haven't.

The caregiver that was signed didn't have my sister's best interest in mind. They could have had better communication.

They do a good job when they show up. I think they could try to listen to her a little better and get to know my grandmother and her routine by being here. Their is not always a nurse available to care for my grandmother, they are short staffed.

BUFFY C

I'm almost bedridden and they really keep me company, I'm able to have somebody to relate to me. They also tailor to my needs. They ask me if there's anything I need even if I haven't asked or told them I needed something. They're willing to do anything I ask them to do, no matter what it is.

upset and concerned

This agency has quit being responsive to our calls and emails and we've only been with them a few months. When someone finally did talk to us about a month ago, they said management had changed and there had been turnover. When you have clients who are dependent on care, this lack of response is unacceptable. We are never told in a timely manner if or even when someone will be sent over for care when our primary caregiver is out. As of today, I am waiting on a promised return call from over two weeks ago. Seem to have lost sight of the true nature of their business.

They are very helpful. They give me time away from the house. I have never had a negative experience with them.

I wish they would wash the dishes instead of just sitting there. They could let us know if we have help coming on the weekend. We don't know until Friday afternoon.

ANNIE G

It makes a big impact. I don't ask her to do a lot. The main thing is she does a very good job of bathing. The women does a very good job of bathing me. That was the main thing I was interested in. That's the main thing.

The current caregiver is okay, and would be fine for someone who has more needs. They kind of hover and my loved one doesn't appreciate that. Initially, I was impressed with them. I think they've had some staffing problems recently, so the communication has been different.

ELANOR R

Just them being here was important, they helped me when I needed them. They fixed some food and did things like that. I remember them cooking meals for me and doing some housecleaning. They even did some shopping for me.

KENNETH G

When they are here, they are very helpful in feeding me, helping me with my hygiene needs, and just getting me whatever I need. I even have them help me with my medications. I like that I have a local number that I can reach them with at any time. I wish that they would keep in contact with me when the caregiver isn't able to come.

NANCY P

It was very helpful to have someone to help her with her needs and give me time to accomplish errands. There were a couple of times when I needed to leave for appointments, but the aides showed up late. They were not sufficiently staffed to cover out needs. If our caregiver could not come, they were never able to get someone else to cover.

AUBREY V

It's making a tremendous difference. The bathing is a big way they help. If I had more help, it'd make my life easier. I have been pleased with the services. It's been really good. The caregiver that's with us has been very interested in doing what's needed, and she does it without complaint. It's been good to have her here.

ARDEN F

I didn't have to worry about someone being with him when he needed someone. When I called and needed somebody, they had someone available. I didn't have to wait or worry about it, because there was somebody there. They took care of him very well.

DOROTHY B

They need to improve their communication skills. They need to make sure that the client has caregivers here, they need to make sure that they answer the phones, and they need to be able to answer the questions instead of transferring me all over.

DOROTHY A_4

They are here so that I can go to the doctor or go grocery shopping. They ought to have their caregivers be more knowledgeable about some things when it comes to things concerning the client.

RACHEL M

I have recommended them in the past. I like the pricing, the insurance billing, and they resolve problems quickly. We went through a few caregivers, but they kept sending a caregiver to try and find the correct fit. They did finally find an individual who is a wonderful fit for my mom. It gives me the ability to get away and take care of other things that I need to, and it gives my mom someone to be there and help her besides me. It has been a good impact.

RACHEL A

They did treat me pretty good. They could have been a little cheaper and there was one caregiver that didn't know what she was doing. Rachel has to have to have caregivers 24/7 to take care of me so they helped me with everything.

JULIAN A

Everything that Care Advantage said they would do has been done. They have corrected any mistakes that are made. The services have helped my loved one, but it has lifted a big burden off of me as well. I was at my wits end and then we got Care Advantage. I have a better outlook on things and can take better care of my loved one with the help that we have.

ANGELA G

I like that they communicate with us when something is going on. When I tell them about special needs and the aides have to be here at a specific time for an appointment, they do their best to get someone here. It helps to have a caregiver here so not all the work is on me. I have bad knees so I can't do all the work myself.

TRACY F

Care Advantage treats people well and they give a lot of privacy. They dress me and help me with things I can't do.

CHRISTINE W

I'm supposed to have somebody Monday through Friday, and right now I only get a girl who works Tuesday and Wednesday. They don't have her come at the times I need, either. They keep telling me that they have somebody to send over, but they never do. They're very helpful. They help me with housework, and they're available to help me when I have to run errands. It's good security, in case I get dizzy or fall or something.

Anonymous

They did not supply anything. I had to supply everything and I did not like that. They should have supplied the things that they needed.

CARY G

The cost is very fair and also fair in response to needs. The care is necessary to keep her to her normal life as best as possible.

SARAH S

They take care of me. They transport me to the doctor's and back.

MELISSA J

I really loved some of the people that came. A lot of them were very good. It was very beneficial to have the services.

JAMES F

They're always very concerned, and they make sure to send someone who can handle the situation. If someone can't come, they get someone to come in their place, and they are very caring. It sure has helped me for the three hours that I have, and there's the shower, lotioning, shaving, bed making, and lunch that helps as well. It sure helps me with my day, and I love it.

BETTY L

I had bad caregivers at the beginning but it has improved 100%. I have three excellent caregivers. The caregiver does things for me. She always see what she can do for me. She will ask if she can get me water and ice.

ROBERT E

Care Advantage is a good place to find the help I need. Care Advantage is a big help to me; it gives my family a break from caring for me.

BETTY N_1

I would tell a friend that Care Advantage came every day, helped me, and did what I asked them to do. Care Advantage made my life easier by providing me with company and they helped me with my house.

FRANCES W_3

I would recommend Care Advantage to about anyone. I guess they all try to do the best job they can. I let them go because I felt they could help someone sicker than me.

EDWARD C_2

I would recommend Care Advantage because they have sent my husband a great caregiver. Care Advantage makes life easier because I was taking care of my husband before, now I am disabled and unable to do so.

PAULINE C

I would tell a friend that Care Advantage has been really good to me and if they need a nice, good caregiver to choose them. Care Advantage has made life a lot easier by being good to me, by doing what I need and by being here for me.

JANET F_3

Everyone I know, knows I have Care Advantage. If my friends need help, they should get in touch because I like my caregivers. If it wasn't for Care Advantage I couldn't do it. I need all the help I can get.

THERESIA R

Care Advantage is a good company. They are always on time, they do what has to be done, and I tell them what to do one time. The next time, they come in and do it. Care Advantage has made my life easier because they come five days a week. I am 97 years old, so I need help.

Anonymous_415

Every time that I needed something, like specific questions for the office staff, they would say they would call me that day, and they didn't. It was more of a hassle than a help. I'm glad that I don't have Care Advantage anymore. I have more of a peace of mind without them here. One of the caregivers was very dishonest. It was bad because I depended on Care Advantage. We were devastated with Care Advantage. I was more than patient with them, and I was more kind to them than most people would have been.

WANDA M

I wouldn't recommend Care Advantage to others because of the lack of staff. Care Advantage has made my life easier by doing everything for me. For the most part, I have girls that have been with me for a long time and they realize what I need.

Anonymous_471

All of the caregivers are really caring, but there are times that they don't show up. Care Advantage could make sure that there are caregivers to cover when the scheduled caregiver won't be coming.

BOBBY W

We've enjoyed the people from Care Advantage. They are good at their jobs. The services are a really big help. It's always nice to have someone to help the client.

GEORGE J_1

I wouldn't recommend someone to use Care Advantage because my dad has had two different caregivers so far. We were told that the caregivers would cook a meal and do light housekeeping. The first caregiver didn't work out at all and the second one leaves after an hour and a half and has no cooking skills at all. She only does some of the light housekeeping that my father asks her to do. My father has reported the caregiver to the VA and to Care Advantage, but she hasn't improved. The VA is paying for three hours of care and my father is not receiving that. My father is really upset about this service and he feels that the VA is being defrauded by the caregiver from Care Advantage. She is not staying for the entire time that they are paying for.

SANDRA D_4

Care Advantage is really reliable and they show up when they are supposed to. Care Advantage comes in and does what I needed and did it well. They didn't cause any destruction in the house.
