    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 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.

    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.

    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.
