I get complaints from her about some of the girls. The agency has some employees who don't know what they are doing. Not all are bad, though. The agency could get better people. We've had times when we pay for services but then no one will show up as they are sick, and then they don't replace someone to come.

Everyone was working, and we couldn't keep her on track, and now she's not sitting alone by herself at home anymore. This helps her to interact with people her age. This has changed my mom's life for the better, because she has someone watching her every day, and helps her get to social activities. She suffers from short term memory loss, and this helps her see people again.

They helped the most just with the basic ADLs and alleviating a lot of the pressure off of me. The woman who came during the week was very consistent. She was absolutely excellent. She is soft-spoken and calm, which was perfect for my parents who have dementia.

My husband is not an easy person and they are so gentle with him. Our caregiver has been with us for a year now and I am very pleased with her. He goes to an adult program through the day and we pay for that out of pocket. The agency is caring and I have direct contact with my case manager. The case manager comes by on a regular to stay updated with his condition. They also call me with any changes when holidays come around.

I am an RN of 50 years. Griswold sent a caregiver for my aunt and uncle who not only could not be understood when she spoke but she could not understand how to work a coffee maker, shower, washing machine or dryer after multiple attempts to orient her. She did not understand how to care for a bedbound patient, nor even knew how to empty a foley bag. Her presence in the home added much stress to an already stressful situation. She managed to cook her own rice and oatmeal but didn't know what a bagel was or how to use a microwave. The experience was beyond frustrating.

We have been using Griswold Homecare for my mother since the beginning of November. The caregiver we have would help Mom use the facilities, bathe her if needed and actually does some light housekeeping. She also fixes her lunch. She helps monitor things for us, like she would take Mom's blood pressure for us. She also accompanies her to physical therapy. We basically have her do different things with my mother. Mom had stroke so we're trying to keep her mind going and doing different things to help her to get better. This caregiver is very good. I don't have any problem with her, other than we wish that she would be more forward thinking. Other than that, she's good to my mother. She takes good care of her. She's also pleasant, so it's working okay. This is the second person to come into the house from Griswold Homecare. The first lady was very good with Mom and I really like her. She was more a little more interactive with my mom, but she had a very thick accent and it was very hard to understand her. That was the only complaint I had about the first lady. Regarding the agency, they would call every once in awhile and make sure that we're getting everything that we had asked for and that everything is going okay. Overall, they're okay.

We have been fortunate and gotten a very caring, flexible live-in caregiver for our mother, who is bed-bound and does not speak due to the late stage of Alzheimer's disease. The aide has cared for mom almost a year through Griswold Home Care and we've been happy with the arrangement. When she went on vacation, they provided a substitute. Griswold's fee is one of the lowest in our area, although I'm not sure why the portion that pays for the office is so high. That's the one major complaint I have--the caregiver gets extra pay for holidays and so does the office--even though they don't work that day.
