Martha is always willing to do anything I ask just depending on what I need at the time. I thought the bookkeeping was different from what I had experienced.

The caregivers help with anything I ask them to do. They need to quit taking the caregivers I like and giving them to people who are private pay. They send me someone I do not know and who might not be able to do what I need them to do.

It helps a lot. The caregivers have helped the most by helping her get dressed and get ready for the day. They help get her dressed and cleaned up with a sponge bath every day. They are always on time. I like that the people are very helpful, and we can normally get somebody on the phone if you need to talk to them. The caregivers have been outstanding.

It is essential. They've been very helpful in general. It's predicated by the individual that shows up, most are very good, but some are pretty average. I don't think it's a matter of training, more individual willingness to work.

He doesn't have anyone coming every day but he gets a shower once a week and that's gone really well. It's made a big difference for not only him, but for my husband and me as well. They've always been very good with him, even when he doesn't want them there. I would recommend Right at Home to others because the people they've sent out have always been really good with my dad and I've been able to get help when we've needed it. If I cancel, they're okay with that and I feel like they're fair about that. If I ask for respite, they're always able to provide it, even if I ask on short notice.

I am still trying to figure out what to do. I guess I need to know what the caregivers do. I don't really know what to expect from them and what to have them do. I just don't know what they do or what they should be doing. I really like Diane. She is the only experience I have had. I have been going downhill pretty fast and I didn't know how much care I was going to need here. Right now, I am okay. I am going to have to get more home care. There's only two people I have had experience with so far at the agency. I like Diane and I didn't really care for the other person they sent. She seemed like she didn't like the work.

The caregiver would come over to watch my loved one that is in a wheelchair and home-bound so that I can have free time to run errands, which is really helpful, and my loved one likes her a lot. They are always on time and there to help with whatever you need, so I'd certainly recommend them.

I have been quite satisfied with this Caregiving Company compared to ones from the past. They strive to correct any issues that might arise, and their employees are very punctual and considerate. Many CDAC related caregiving companies now offer a partnership with a chores service to mow lawns and shovel driveways. Right at home should consider this option. It would produce great benefits for them. Thanks, Nancy G.

There are some things I wish they did. I wish they did windows, they aren't hard to do. I wish they did more deep cleaning for vents and other things. I like everything, I have a wonderful worker, she takes care of me.

They can stay with me long enough so I don't have to keep training the caregivers over and over. They are trying to hire people, but they don't stick around. I have a lot of different caregivers coming in and out.

The most helpful part is when they come and they don't act better than you are. They are always on time, and if you don't like someone, you can tell them who you don't want. They are more than accommodating.

They come once a week. It helps me a lot. It really helps me a lot. They do my laundry. They do things I couldn't do on my own. I like the people. I think I'm being tested for people. Right now, I have a young person, and she does a fair job, but it's not a great job. She's probably 28 or 29. I had one before who I really liked, but they kind of harassed her to the point where she quit. I don't like to be sent someone else.

The most helpful part of the services is having a caregiver come twice a week. My workers are on time, and she does a great job. If I need transportation, I can call ahead. A few times, they've been prompt.

I would trust the caregiver with my life. If I didn't have the services, I would soon look like I was a hoarder because there is so much I cannot do anymore, which is frustrating. I have been with them for quite a number of years now. I have had the same caregiver for 7 or 8 years now. She is reliable and trustworthy. I can send her to the store with a list and my debit card and the PIN number, and she comes back with nothing more than what is on the list and with the receipt and my debit card.

Nothing is getting done for me. If my garbage isn't taken out, my floors aren't swept and mopped, and my house isn't cleaned, it really hinders my life. They call me when a person isn't coming five minutes before they are supposed to be here. They can't find somebody for me. They do it all the time.

They need to send me a better caregiver. The caregiver that I have now does not listen well. I have had to have her go back to the store and try again and get me a refund. It seems like I have to write everything down for her.

We have had home care for about two years and the first two people they sent out here were fantastic, those two ladies were super and would clean both bathrooms and the kitchen in two hours and have 5 minutes left to sit and talk with us. Then we moved my daughter's house and the girl finished one and a half bathrooms in the two hours. We asked her if that was all she got done and they cancelled us because they said we were mean to the people. We did not say it in a negative way but she took it that way. The first two I felt comfortable cleaning my house if I was not there. I thought that we did Right at Home a favor by telling them that we thought that she could get more. I did not trust her to sit with anyone by herself.

My caregiver is the heaven and the moon and the stars, because she has a lot of care. They ask if there is anything that they can do for me. I would not be alive right now if it wasn't for Right at Home. I cannot do some things and Right at Home can, and they do not make me feel bad about it. They are something special.

We used Right at Home for two months for my father-in law. They did light cleaning and laundry. We used them twice a week for three hours each day. The price was fair. He was skeptical at first, but in the end, it was very beneficial, and he was able to make friends with the caregiver.

I hired a caregiver from Right at Home to come in two times a week to help my mom with bathing and slight housekeeping. My mom is very happy with her caregiver. Their management has been satisfactory. Everything has been so far, so good. It's very helpful knowing that your family member or parents are well cared for.

Right at Home did a good job. They take care of Mom in the morning, bathe her and shower her, and during bedtime, they take her to the bathroom and put her to bed. She's fine with it and likes it. They come way earlier than the time we set up. It would be much better if they follow the time.

We know everyone’s needs are different, so we create custom, client-centered care plans based on our unique five-step approach to care.

When you choose Right at Home, you can rest assured that our caregivers will deliver the care you or your loved one needs.
