They helped her shower safely. The responsiveness in the account and log could be improved. The website could be more user-friendly. I made notes and didn't get a response. You have to go to a separate system to view invoices and lose visibility. It takes you to a broken link.

They have done nothing to make it a positive experience, but she does need the services. They need to get a manager who can manage better with a full staff.

The provider helps by cooking for me. The agency could interview the caregivers more thoroughly.

The caregivers could have a greater impact if they could follow the actual care plan and stay the entire time. They could also not bill for time that they're not there. The agency needs to improve the quality of their caregivers, their training, and communication with families.

I had had a caregiver called Stone Cold and Chris. They made me tea and helped me clean. I do need them to ask me what I need and how I am doing. It was good and bad. We had some caregivers that were not as good of a fit and some that were a good fit. The caregiver said that I refused services but that was not accurate. They need to ask me questions and interview me so you know what I need. They need more of a variety of people.

He is bedridden and they have a routine that allows him to know when they will show up to help him. They are very reliable and show up and do what they need to do.

The client really enjoyed George. He loved George coming out, and he loved his mannerisms. I think it had a very awesome impact. The caregiver helped the client with his bathing. I think the companionship meant a lot to the client because it was another guy that he could talk to when he was getting his care and he felt very comfortable with it. I really liked the worker the client had that came out here, George. He was really nice.

They helped the most with being able to get things and acquire things that I couldn't get myself since I was in a wheelchair. I liked that they were pretty awesome all the way around. They checked on me every couple of weeks and the person was top-notch.

They've made my life a bit easier by finally having someone come in on Sundays, so my wife has a break. It's getting better. It's a little frustrating that they don't have someone to work the phones.

Their services were great, but they very rarely were able to give them. You didn't know whether they were going to help you or not. When they were there it was fine, but they very seldom showed up.

As the primary caregiver in the family, I cannot say how much it means to know that I can relax or do errands without feeling pressured. It makes all the difference. I could not do what I do without them. I can't praise the caregiver enough, he is so good with my mom. She is happy and joyful.

It gave us so much stress because of the lack of care. We didn't know someone was coming each day. The office scheduling needs a lot of training. They wouldn't schedule people we liked.

It was very negative for me. After the first lady it was nothing but problems and a lot of frustration. I left the entire idea of an agency behind because of them. They talked a good line in the interview but were not able to follow through.

They provide personal care. They give a lot of security and safety for Paul to go into the shower. There is someone to help him if he needs it. They do light housekeeping. They can improve the office dependability and the worker dependability.

Their management needs to respond. When you call them you cannot even leave a message. I would not recommend them all. It is not the people that come to the house. It is the management part of it.

They need to be familiar with a hoyer lift. They need to know how to change a catheter and colostomy bag. They should always bring gloves with them. They should always be using gloves. They need to be pre-certified and pre-qualified for my case. They can vet their people better.

His caregiver is here five days a week. She makes sure he has something to eat for lunch and also when he goes home. They go for walks and do other things together as well. I like their professionalism and their attitude. They're always there to take a phone call.

They help the most by keeping in contact with me because I am in bad shape and I need to know what is going on. I like that they are there when I need them. Things happen, and they do their best to make it right, such as a caregiver not able to come or something.
