Homewatch CareGivers of Western WA

I was extremely impressed with the professionalism displayed by members of the Homewatch Care Givers staff in Skagit County. I have spend many years as a pastor, hospice bereavement coordinator, and cemetery/funeral employee, and have used home health care employees when my mother was suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Several weeks ago, I was called into an arrangement involving an elderly gentleman who had just lost his wife of 70 years. I could see the grief was overwhelming. In the arrangement room was a step-daughter along with his caregiver from Homewatch (Tara). Throughout the arrangement, the bereaved widower continued to ask for input and advice from his caregiver. I could tell that there was a strong, trusting and caring relationship that the bereaved widower placed in Tara. The funeral service was held on a Saturday, and I was present to help with the arrangements. I was most impressed to see the caregiver, Tara, and another Homewatch Care Giver staff member, Michaela, present for the funeral. Not only did the family warmly greet them and feel great appreciation in their presence at the funeral, but Tara and Michaela continued to provide support and care to other family members at the reception that followed the funeral. It is one thing to work an hourly shift in a home as a caregiver. It is another thing to be looked upon as a trusted and valuable part of a family. It is evident to me that Homewatch Care Givers have staff members who demonstrate great maturity, professional, love and compassion for those under their care, and that those receiving the care feel a sense of trust and security from people like Tara and Michaela.

I have been a client of Homewatch Caregivers for 2 years and would use no other service but theirs. I am a difficult person to care for due to my size and medical problems ( 90% paralyzed, cannot walk, use a wheelchair at all times, prostate cancer, and other needs. Homewatch has fully met my needs at all times and has made my life so much easier and enjoyable.

My three siblings and I found ourselves in a difficult situation when our 88 year old mother, with the early stages of dementia, was not taking care of herself adequately. Because of her dementia she was not eating or drinking fluids regularly, and was making her social world smaller and smaller. During an illness, we took turns staying with her 24 hours a day for over 4 weeks. The healing was sure but slow and we wanted to respect her desire to stay in her condominium. We knew we needed help. After a call to Homewatch Caregivers, we met with Dale and Veronica at our mother’s condo and together discussed our current situation and possible future needs. We started a plan for having a caregiver come for part of a day, one day a week. My mother has enjoyed their company and involvement in her life so much that we now have a care giver come part of each day, three days a week. They help with her nutrition, take nature walks, organize her photo albums, and much more. Our mother tells us about her adventures, and latest projects. What a wonderful success. We could not be more thankful for Homewatch Caregivers help.

My mother has been blessed with caring women helping her out since July 2013 while I am working. I have felt that my mom has been safe and well taken care of. Due to the nature of my business and the changeable situations with my clients, Homewatch has always stepped up when I need to change my mothers schedule. I will recommend Homewatch to anyone in need of care giving help.

We cannot praise or thank you enough for the excellent care and loving kindness you showed our parents during the last few months of their lives. Your service enabled them to stay in their home, which was a strong desire of both of them. Your well trained staff was tailored to our specific needs and met and exceeded those needs. We will be forever grateful to you and wish you continued success.

I am the primary caregiver for my elderly mother who has ALZ. I needed time for my family and myself after doing much research I contacted HCG and Veronica came out to my mother's home and talked with us about in home care. HCG was able to match the perfect caregiver for my mother, who is quite happy with her. I am very pleased with the services HCG provides. Thank you!

Homewatch CareGivers did a wonderful job caring for our mother after she suffered a second stroke. Mom wanted to feel independent but needed 24 hours care seven days a week. The staff who came to the home were dedicated and provided help as needed. They would get up every two hours at night to check on her, give her her medications, fix meals and help her with her ongoing physical therapy and speech therapy. The staff would compare notes at the transitional periods and discuss with family members the daily issues. Management staff were there to provide support and advise along the way and helped us sort out issues with staff in a compassionate way. This was a big help to our family because all four of moms children led busy lives and could not provide the care she needed at the time. As mom's condition improved we were able to cut back on the hours of caregiving and give her more of the independence she craved. Homewatch tried to keep the same caregivers though the period as they could, although schedules required several different caregivers toward the end when there were fewer hours worked by each.

Homewatch provided critical support for my mother that enabled her to stay in her own home long past the time she could have done so on her own. The staff were kind, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. I was particularly impressed with the intake process in which Homewatch learned in detail about my mothers support needs, interests, and idiosyncrasies. Since both my wife and I work, the support tool a huge load off our shoulders.

I have been care by Homewatch since 2007. My caregiver does all the things that I used to do when I was able to care for myself, bathing, dressing, cooking, light housekeeping, laundry, but she is also my companion. They make it possible for me to remain in my own home. I have been very fortunate to have a caregiver that I care for deeply and trust.

I am a retired physician with ALS. Homewatch Caregivers his provided caregivers for me for the last 4 years. I have had one caregiver for the last 4 years. A 2nd caregiver joined my team one year ago. A 3rd caregiver and joined the team 6 months ago. All 3 are superb. Whenever one Caregiver cannot attend me, Homewatch always provides a competent backup. I could not be more satisfied. I recommend Homewatch Caregivers without any qualifications.

I had a wonderful experience with them! I would recommend them to any family looking for in-home care for their loved one! I, coming from a Medical background as well feel privileged to work for such a company.
