The team at Acti-Kare was terrific to work with, even though I only needed short-term care following surgery. Kim bent over backwards to accomodate me on short notice, and Charles was a terrific and engaging caregiver.. I'm very grateful to Acti-Kare for their responsiveness.

The Acti Kare team provided excellent care for my mother. Her caregiver, Ilene, was just lovely, and my mum really appreciated everything she did. Ilene genuinely took pride in her work and did her best to keep my mom comfortable. Becca was absolutely great in ensuring that everything was in place when the care began. I cannot recommend Acti Kare services more. A very happy client.

My mother is in the midst of the long goodbye as her dementia worsens and her health declines. I was in dire need of Caregiver Support to enable me to keep her at home. We are now at 24/7 coverage. My mother receives kind and compassionate care from all of my "angels". They are diligent in maintaining her nutritional, physical and hygienic needs, and always make her feel safe and comfortable. I could not manage without them and I am grateful for their support. I feel less alone in this sometimes difficult journey.

I’m sincerely thankful for Veronica and her ActiKare services. While coming along-side us to help find the right caregivers for my dad who has a complex set of medical issues, Veronica continually demonstrates her dedication to excellence and sincerity in her work ethics. Though my dads care has presented numerous challenges this hasn’t stopped Veronica. She is dedicated to finding solutions. And, the honesty with which she delivers show her loving heart and strong communication skills. Moreover, I see how this is forging a lasting client-caregiving-family relationship, and a much needed harmonious atmosphere in our home which is much appreciated. In other words, Veronica is knowledgeable, compassionate, positive, cheerful, funny, innovative, respectful and considerate of complex client-caregiving issues. With the many complex medical issues my father has, it’s not been an easy task, but Veronica and her staff has not given up looking for solutions. For example, Veronica took time to pay us a timely visit to observe my dads room configurations and she gave some great innovative ideas. But, it didn’t stop there. As a follow up she brought over a state of the art shelving unit for my dads room which helped make things more spacious and organized. Besides, she took the time to help remove the old unit, set up the new one, including assembling all the supplies. Most importantly, Veronica is a personable collaborator who is knowledgeable, understanding and caring; readily available to tackle hard questions, problem solve and provide answers to the best of her ability, along with her great staff. Therefore, if anyone deserves the Caring Star Award Veronica does! Cheers!

I'm a current client of Acti-Kare. I have them come to my home every day to help me with meals, laundry, and assist me getting around the house. I can walk around with confidence knowing she is there to help if I need it. I have used other care agencies in the past and what I can say I most like about Acti-Kare is the caregivers arrive on-time every single day and they have not missed any days. This is very important to me. I have the same caregiver for most of the week. She comes for 5 days in a row every week. She does a great job. One of the agencies I used in the past sent me a different person almost every day. She keeps everything neat and orderly-just how I like it and if I want or need anything, she makes sure it is done immediately. I also like that my care manager has been to my home on many occasions to make sure everything is going well. If I need to call him, he responds very quickly. When I needed additional care the owner of Acti-Kare came herself and provided care for me every night. She is very smart and I enjoyed our conversations.

So grateful for Acti-Kare taking such great care of my grandpa! He feels comfortable, safe and at ease with the care takers. They’ve done a wonderful job helping him with tasks around the house, helping him run errands and giving him companionship. They are always on time and my grandpa looks forward to each visit. Thank you Acti-Kare!

Acti-Kare has been providing tremendous care for my grandfather. My Grandfather was hesitant to get additional care but Veronica and her team made the transition to more care so much easier. His caretaker, Lulu engages with him, cooks wonderful meals, and truly is a wonderful friend to him. I don’t worry about his health or happiness with their assistance. As a granddaughter, I am forever grateful for such a caring team that feels more like family.

I have had the Acti Kare Team take care of my Dad (he is 92) for the past 5 years. They have always provided exceptional care which includes taking him to the store, cooking meals, light cleaning, projects with him around the house and most importantly to provide a level of socialization that is extremely important to someone who lives alone. Family members visit him on consistently, but he really looks forward to seeing the care staff on a regular basis. My Dad lost his wife and partner for over 60 years, 5 years ago. I want to thank Veronica and her team for making such a positive difference in my Dads life as well as our family. You can never fill the void of losing a spouse but Acti Kare has been a tremendous partner in helping us instill a sense of purpose and feeling of belonging for my Dad. Thank you!!!

I believe we are signed up for 12 hours a week. Believe me the company does its best to fulfill our needs. When several caregivers found the distance too far after one visit, we changed the schedule to two six hour shifts. A bit long to have someone in the house but flexibility is paramount to good outcomes. They bathe Arthur, clean his room, dump garbage, change his bedding, and do laundry. They clean the kitchen, sweep and mop the floors. Vacume the livingroom and sometimes, when asked, they will dust or do windows! They clean the bathtub and counters in the bathroom. I hope they do the toilet. I ask for my bed to be changed every other week and am so thankful when the beds are made and all the laundry is complete, which is a rare feat beings Arthur puts off his bath until the last hour! Now that we have a bathtub lift I hope to get back to three four hour visits. I am working with Arthur on the importance of his bath taking place in the first hour so I don't end up with two loads of laundry to fold and put away once the caregiver leaves. One day, I hope this all works out for everyone! Four hours of free time for me, with a tidy home and clean patient to come home to. It depends a lot upon the patient and their willingness to work towards the same end.

Acti-Kare is contracted by the VA to care for my dad, who is on Hospice. The service is so outstanding that we siblings have met our match on best possible care for him. Violeta looks after him with great care, making sure he gets all his meals, helping keep him well hydrated, dressing him and cleaning up any kind of messes as needed, and his home is always neat and clean when she leaves. Violeta also helps my mom recall that she is to take care of herself and needs to get up and move around from time to time to keep up her strength (as in, she is Dad's helper and is not there to retrieve this or that for Mom). Mom has complained about this with previous caregivers but Violeta is so smooth with her encouragement that Mom rather takes pride in what she has learned to do for herself. Violeta has also collaborated with my sisters, myself, and the other caregivers to help make care practically seamless from person to person for Dad and has advocated for him when needed. We are very grateful for her attentive care.

Acti-Kare provided care to my Dad, who has Dementia, for a year. We had a wonderful caregiver who got along with Dad exceptionally and kept him happy, and occupied while I worked from home. Our Care Coordinator was Myah, who was great and always kept us in the loop. Her communication was always sufficient and she even stepped in to help with Dad when our caregiver had to leave. Dad is now is a Veterans home, but I truly appreciate all that Acti-Kare has done for my family and I!!

My husband is using Acti-Kare Responsive In Home Care. I'm pleased with the service. I have no negative replies concerning the service. They have accommodated my needs very satisfactorily. I use them three days a week, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. They're caring for my husband's needs, make sure his breakfast or lunch is prepared, if he chose to exercise, transporting from room to room, bathing, and general care. At this time, I'm real pleased with the service. I would highly recommend them to anyone else that is looking for a homecare service provider that would provide the best of care to the client and in making sure that their needs are being well taken care of. They also provide light housework, washing, doing the laundry if need be, kitchen needs, and cleaning, and dusting. I really am very pleased with the service as a whole.

I can't feed myself and I have trouble taking a shower without her help. She's very functional. She feeds me and she helps me to bathe. She just takes care of me. I'm very satisfied with Acti-Kare.

This agency is fabulous! I needed someone to pick me up after a surgery and watch me for 12 hours. I called the agency and within minutes received a call back. They had staff and were quick to provide me the paperwork to get this set up. The communication was excellent. I knew who was picking me and had a contact number for them. The employee picked me and took me back to my hotel. I slept most of the 12 hours. When I did wake she helped me to change my dressings. We ended up talking and losing track of time. I had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this agency!!!

Due to a rapid deterioration of Mom's health, we needed help in fulfilling our promise of remaining in her home. Beginning with the initial at-home assessment, Acti-Kare began provided that help, immediately. Their actions, flexibility and employees demonstrate a genuine care for patients and their love-ones. Bathing, personal hygiene, safety, PT exercises, useful tips, and loving interaction greatly improve Mom's comfort. The Acti-Kare team has astoundingly proactive communication - they initiate contact so I never have to, 24/7. I am deeply grateful to Acti-Kare for their professionalism, expertise and compassion. At every step, they feel like family, rather than a service. Connie, Veronica, and Amelia - Mom, her family, and her friends all thank you.

I also want to commend our caregiver Precious who took on my parents while in a pandemic and all the challenges that provides. She is the only caregiver out of about 30 who reached my dad, who mostly is non verbal. He spoke to her. A professional and a beautiful soul. Thank you to you both!

They filled the gap in my my brother’s care while we waited to move him from independent living to an adult family home. Some of the caregivers went well above and beyond their role, even bringing my brother home-baked treats! The Acti-Kare management was very responsive to our requests, and also went above and beyond (provided transport to dentist when we had no other available). Thank you so much!

Veronica, owner of ActiKare, performed a weekly task for my 94 year mother, requiring her to pick up, drop off, & then take her back to her home. Nearly all the time Veronica waited for her providing an additional service of friend & companion. But what made her work so special is the creativity she always brought to effectively dealing w/ a woman deep into dementia. The solutions she came up w/ were always top notch, solving issues of logistics, attitudes, & the support of a first-rate caregiver. Since her task ended, a few weeks ago, Veronica has followed up w/ me weekly to see how mother is doing. I simply can do nothing but praise her in all regards!

My father is under 24/7 care by this agency. They cook, do his laundry, get the mail, assist with bathing, etc. They will do anything basically Dad needs. The staff are like members of the family. They really care about the service they provide and making sure the clients are well taken care of. They arrive on time and keep each other well informed when they change shifts. When I go to visit my dad, I am always greeted by the caregivers and we catch up on life together, like old friends. There are even hugs when we haven't seen each other for a while! Any time we have had a concern, or a family member needs to speak to the head of the agency, she is totally responsive, will make sure she speaks to myself or my sisters since my dad doesn't hear very well, and ensure she has the right information. She also takes swift action when needed, and will correct any issues we may have. We switched to this agency from another in home agency and the satisfaction has been great, and it was well worth the change. You really can't go wrong hiring this agency for the complete and compassionate care they give their clients. Our family is very picky about the care our parents have received and we could not be happier with Acti-Kare!

My caregiver gives me showers, helps me dress, transfer to wheelchair, helps with bathroom functions, wash, dry fold and puts away laundry, dishes, vacuums rugs, sweeps and mops floors. Always arrives before or on time. If not able to, lets me know. Friendliness and attentive to my needs is a great help. The agency itself has been a great help staying aware of my care with phone calls and visits to me.

Veronica and her team of Care Givers were wonderful to my Father and Sister during the time we used Acti-Kare. They were so caring and conscientious. We had 3 different Care Givers for 24/7 care and they all were respectful, loving and knew how to take care of others. Unfortunately, we lost both our loved ones due to complications of cancer and the Care Givers were their to help with end of life. I can't thank these wonderful people enough for the sincere and heartfelt attention in which they treated my family. Would recommend this business to anyone that needs this type of service.
