I don't have the huge responsibility I had before we had caregiving services. They have helped me a lot. I like the flexibility, and they are in constant contact and are attentive to anything we need.

They can do what they can to keep Ellen informed before things happen. I like that they're pretty responsive and provide quality people.

They help me with eating and washing. I like that they seem to be interested in what I need done.

Provider Response

Linda G

She is extremely difficult. They provided service for her that I couldn't. There were a lot of different caregivers. It wasn't consistent.

Georgia G_5

They help take care of things that Georgia is not able to take care of herself. They are very dependable.

Hired Right at Home for my mother who is in a senior living facility memory care to provide extra services. They were never able to provide consistent caregivers. Always had someone different everyday so my mother was never comfortable with the care givers. As family member received no feedback on what actual services were provided or how the days went. It became more aggravating than helpful so no longer use them. Sales did a good job of telling me what I wanted to hear but never came through with what they promised. Much wasted time and money working with them.

The agency listened to me about certain caretakers that don't work with me versus the ones that work with me. I don't feel uncomfortable expressing that and they understand where the patient is coming from. I like the personal touch; they get to know what the client needs and focus the care based on that.

They give a good bath. It is comforting to have someone here to help me.

They help us to get dressed and take our meds on a 24/7 basis. I have had them for over three years.

Provider Response

Brian B_15

They help out around the house. The individuals we get and had working with us are very good.

Connie I

Just having the routine helps her the most, knowing that they are coming and coming at a fairly consistent time is helpful. I'm not interacting with them the most so I don't have much to base this on, and I know getting feedback from my mom would be difficult. If someone asked me about them, I would say I think they're working out.

Judith P_8

Some days it's good and some days it's not so good. Out of the gate it was really difficult because we kept getting different people who were late and didn't show up, and then we got someone good, and we lost her. So, we are back at the beginning again, trying to get someone locked in. They need a higher skill level of CNA's.

Alonzo H_1

They make me feel more comfortable. I like that they know what they are doing, and they treat you well. I am glad to have them.

Herbert K_2

We didn't really realize how much he had lost to be mobile, so it has been really helpful. The people have been really supportive. We didn't know we needed this care.

Provider Response

They help in every way that they can. I am his wife and caregiver. They're very nice people when they come out and when I talk to them on the phone. They help in any way that they can.

They could take the stress off my husband when he goes out of town. They would need to improve with better caregivers.

Provider Response

Paul J_7

They made the experience positive by having sent me Melody. They could improve by having, consistently, better people. I'm lucky and have one that is excellent, but a couple replacements weren't that good.

Provider Response

Gertrude P_1

The morning aid gets my mom bathed and up and that has been most helpful. They need to increase the staff.

The provider needs to be more patient and more interesting. I would want them to improve on the caregivers giving more attention to me.

Provider Response

Donald W_21

They're outstanding. When the client finally got a Right at Home individual caregiver that he could really relate to and depend on, it's been phenomenal. On walks, the caregiver takes the client outside and lets him walk for a period of time. He is very careful with the client and always has a wheelchair on these walks in case he gets tired. It's exceptional. There is absolutely nothing wrong. They're perfect. I like that they follow through with what they say. They're considerate, and they really do their best to match the client with the appropriate caregiver. The caregivers follow the nursing home requirements. The individual that goes in to visit the client always asks before he sees the client if there are any changes, anything he should be concerned about, and what I would like for them to help the client with that day. I love that it's individualized care.

Provider Response

The caregiver I have is very good and I am very happy with her. I would recommend them because the caretaker I have right now is very good.

The caregivers provide my wife some time to live her life by taking care of me. We have had some excellent caregivers.

Provider Response

I used to be the full time caregiver for my wife and it would take my full day, but now I have time to do what I like as well as no pressure to watch my wife. I would tell a friend that this company has high quality caregivers and matches them well with the needs of the clients.

Provider Response

The caregiver has had a positive impact because she is there for us no matter what we need. We love our caregiver. She is the best.

The caregiver is perfect because she really came in and did everything for my mom. I would like to see Right at Home be better with their billing department. I want to see exactly what I am being billed for.

The provider has filled in extra time, and I have had consistent caregivers for the times I need. I think that they should have more employees.

They make his quality of life as good as it can be he suffered a stroke and they get him up and shave him and they do what they can to him which is too hard for my mom. I think number one they are very dependable they are here on time and they are very compassionate and they are quite considerate to my mom at the same time so I don't think you could ask for more.

Having Right at Home around is very nice. They help me out with everything. For instance, they help me get up when I have fluid retention. Whatever I ask them to do to make me comfortable, they make sure to take care of my preferences. I am very happy with the care provided.

Provider Response

The staff is easy to work with and the caregivers are friendly. I like their flexibility because we have had a lot of changes and they are understanding.

Provider Response

Nona H_1

It would be difficult for my husband and I if we didn't have this agency for the extra support help we get from Margaret who is the caregiver that is here most often. She is usually here 3 days a week. I like that the people that come are very nice, very friendly, helpful, and they do things that I would perhaps ask them to do. Things I don't have to ask them to do, they do.

Just being here with a willing attitude to do whatever I need them to do. All the caregivers have been well trained and they know what they are doing.

Owen H_1

They made sure that he could get to the dining room to eat. I like that they followed up on just about everything. They communicated really well with me.

Ralph K

They have helped me get dressed on occasion. They could work on communication in regard to caregiver substitutions. They are doing everything fairly well overall, though.

Provider Response

Carol C_33

They have helped the most by safely lifting me and transporting me to the places that are needed. I like that they come on time, they are reliable, and that they can lift me.

Provider Response

Yvonne H_2

The impact has been very good. One of the caregivers will do errands for me. She won't take me in her car, but she'll do errands for me. She is very lovely to be with and talk to. The other caregiver will take me where I want to go and I absolutely love her. I like the caregivers I have.

They were great. I already did recommend them.

Provider Response

Richard B_39

He is a harder patient, as he doesn't like to do lots of things. He mostly likes to be quiet and keep to himself. Yet they continue to talk to him and encourage him to do different activities. The personal attention that they give is great. They really care about the individual and their family. Whenever I call they always call me back immediately. They have come out and done inspections and have assisted me with any concerns

Provider Response

Michael B_34

We had a caregiver that took physical care of my partner, but spent most of the time on her computer. This agency has finally landed us a good match, some of the previous caregivers were not good.

Leslie S_6

I have peace of mind knowing I have caregivers coming to help take care of my wife. They look out for their client's best interests.

Norman F_1

I am not sure what they could improve on but I like that they walk with me. I would like them to improve on their communication.

Muriel M_1

She can't do without the help. Everybody is responsive to questions.

Duane K

They gave me my free time, and I was sure they were capable of taking care of my husband. They sent really good people to take care of my husband and made it possible for me to go out.

Diane S_30

I didn't have to say anything to the older caregivers, they were excellent. The younger ones were on their phones until I asked them to do something. The first caregiver was supposed to be here by 8pm. The first night she wasn't here until closer to 9, and then she went outside to take a phone call while I still needed supervision. I was tired of sitting in my chair, and I had to go tell her that I wanted to move, and she said she needed a break. That was not explained to me. She left before my nurse came to get lunch.

They have done everything they said they were going to do. The people they have sent out have been very good. They do everything I ask them to do.

Anonymous_4776

It varies. They could provide better training. It varies person to person, shift to shift. They need to improve the selection of people that come here.

Agnes H_1

You can tell somebody lives here now! My caregiver has helped me straighten out all my papers that were overflowing the house. I like all the people that I have met from the company so far.

Marilyn T_5

They helped us the most by providing over night coverage. I like that they were extremely responsive.

Marilyn M_14

They showed up and were successful. We have used them for such a short period of time. They were very thorough and very timely.

Jonathan R

They made sure I was safe inside the apartment before they left. They took me to the hospital for a procedure and then brought me back.

Anonymous_4642

The services have helped me be more independent. The agency is reliable.

Tony W_2

Them watching the door took the pressure off of us not knowing where he was and gave us peace of mind. The fact that they offered the services of them watching his door amazed me.

Anonymous_4491

They will make my bed and do light house work. They can make sure I get the caregivers I want.

Art A_2

I would have liked the caregivers to be more caring towards Art. I would not recommend them because the caregivers were not consistent to care for my husband.

They help with the ordinary things in life. With my age, it's nice to have a caregiver. The girls that come are very nice.

Maria M_17

They were just very gentle and attentive. I like that they were on time.

Charlotte L

The impact was that I was not happy with them except for the one person. I could only recommend one from the whole bunch. The person that I had for many years was fabulous, the others that came were not.

Richard R_13

They help to take the burden off of my mother. The caregivers that we used have all been very good.

Delbert B

It was not compassionate at all. They could have better communication. They could have better scheduling.

I thought that it very thoughtful that they brought me pie for Thanksgiving. I do not think they investigated the background on some of the girls that I have had.

Jim B_13

I liked that they did what they were supposed to do, sometimes more. I thought the whole agency was excellent

Donna G_11

She helps with my personal hygiene. They matched me with a very good caregiver.

Olga W_1

They were very helpful. They picked up around the house. They cleaned the place up, they did the laundry. They did a nice job.

Travis N

I am 95 years old and it has helped me out to make it easier for me. The couple days a week really helps. I am receiving good care. Some of the things that I cannot do and they take the time to do it. I have lived alone for 30 years and there is one girl that is a little slower to catching on in what I am used to.

Anonymous_4175

The overall service is very good. Right now I am fortunate to have a caregiver who is above average. There have been situations that I wish hadn't occurred but occasionally when they were making changes in caregivers we were the last to know.

Alice B_1

They make sure I have everything I need. I like that they are always on time

Anonymous_3576

They help me get groceries. They are available.

Anonymous_3238

They're fine, there isn't anything they need to improve. They are very caring and they're very nice to deal with.

Jerry C_1

They are very willing to have the same person come for the three days. It's definitely something my husband needs, and it gives me a break because I care for him the rest of the time. One of the things that I like is that they are very flexible if I have to cancel for a doctor appointment. They are very willing to try to get someone to come on another day. They are conscientious about the right fit between the caregiver and client.

Eileen B_2

They take me where I want to go. The people are very caring and reliable.

Barlett "BJ" C

They solve the problems that come with having a wheelchair. They meet my needs with professionalism and understanding. I like their professionalism.

Ralph B_1

They could give me reliable caregiver everyday. I am upset with the agency because they send me a different caregiver everyday. I need a caregiver that is steady and reliable.

William S_15

I get to get out of my room. When they do not have a person available, they could let me know.

Robin H_6

My mom doesn't really like the person she has right now. They are supposed to get her a new person. My mom lives in an assisted living home. They provide extra help when the assisting home cannot provide that. They are reliable.

Pamela G_1

They allow me to work at home. I would like that their caregivers could clean better and be more careful with my property.

Mary Alyce K

It is great because they help out a lot. I like that they are on time.

Karen K_10

They talk with her and read with her. Initially, they worked with me closely to have a specific caregiver work with my loved one and report to me. I trust them with access to my loved one's credit card to do modest shopping.

Pat L_9

They make my bed and brush my teeth. I like their quality of work. They are there when I need them.

Jane B_3

I'm handicapped, so it makes me able to live independently with their help. They are very prompt, and I like the same people. It's nice that I have consistent caregivers.

Anonymous_1913

My caregiver takes me shopping and makes sure I get the products I want for the right price. My caregiver is very attentive.

Phil R_1

It helps relieve transportation issues and gets my father to his appointments on time. Right at Home helps in providing transportation to and from medical appointments.

Thomas S_14

They have helped the most by bathing me. The basics is the same as everywhere else. I have been with different companies. My caregivers do their job and what they are supposed to do.

Anonymous_1640

They could communicate better all the time and send the same caregiver so that I don't have to deal with someone new all the time. They seem to be able to provide the service that I need, but they are not very good at communicating with me.

Elizabeth D_1

It gives me time to do other things. They could offer a variety of caregivers.

Janet P_3

They let Melony stay with me as an aide, instead of changing them around. I like that they have given me the same caregiver for the past 2 years. I wouldn't like anyone to switch anyone around on me because this is excellent. She was also able to think of things quickly to do things for me, that I had not even thought up yet. She is always on time, and when she was not, it was because of illness.

William Seitz

My mother had vertigo that required hospitalization. After leaving the hospital, she needed 24 hour care (two 12 hour shifts) until she did better. My mother wants to be independent, but we needed someone to be there until she got better and gets checked out by the her primary care doctor. In doing so, we greatly appreciated the diligent care given to my mother by Right at Home North Suburban Chicago. All who have come have done a good job. The 24 hour care was very successful. We will leave it up to my mother as far as how much help she needs going forward (and give her space to decide whether she wants to be alone), but we know that RAH is available to help us to do what we can to support her.

Barry W

They have helped me with everything in general. They are very efficient and well mannered.

Randee A

They impacted me. They were easy and flexible. I needed somebody the next day so they sent me somebody. They were excellent.

Elaine S_2

They were a constant companion that helped my mother one-on-one. They helped us out right away and there was no waiting time to get service.

Andrew B_1

I didn't feel so alone with them there. They were very caring and responsive.

Susie G

It really helped me out. They helped me with showers and cleaning my room because I can't do it on my own. It is good. My caregiver was good.

Paul R_2

It's really difficult to say the impact. It's a small house, and having a male stranger in the house is a little difficult, but it's something I have to do. They have pretty good caregivers. The one we have now has been very good. I like the billing, unlike other companies that have billing that is hard to understand. That's a big reason why I switched to Right at Home.

Bernadette C

The night time care has been the most needed, and they do a great job of that. The company is managed well. I have never had an issue where someone hasn't shown up or has been late.

Jean H

They listen to me and they help me if I need it. They have friendly people and they are here to help. They have nice personalities and it seems like they are friends.

Richard H_15

The people that they send me are just going through the motions of the job. I would tell others that they are very prompt about covering their shifts and showing up.

Gladys H

I would tell someone that Right at Home is very caring and able to supply good caregivers. The services have made my loved one's life better, and he is well cared for.

Anonymous

I don't think that Right at Home is ethical and I would never refer them to anyone. They double bill and the owner is not genuine. I am very offended by the owner and the way he runs his business. Right at Home was not monitoring the care properly and we were being charged more than we should have been.

Provider Response

Delores R

I would refer Right at Home to others because the caregiver I have with them is wonderful. The services provided by Right at Home are given through a great caregiver, but I would like her to stay longer.

Ralph T_1

Right at Home was always there, and did everything that we needed them to do. Right at Home really helped alleviate many of the issues so I wouldn't have to get involved.

Mandy

The caregivers did a great job. They truly made my father feel comfortable. The office staff and owners have been very responsive and helpful to my dad. I would recommend Right at Home to anyone in need of homecare services.

Regina McGhee

Right at Home has the best caregivers ever. They truly care about their patients/clients. They are always there when you need them. The owner works as hard as the caregivers to ensure they are providing excellent service. I definitely recommend their services to anyone who needs support at home for a loved one.

Betty Mazzetta

Both ladies who came were very helpful and nice.

rrrrrrrr

A key partner in caring for my dad.

Lazy Nana

We had some of our best care givers provided by Right at Home. We have remained friends with 2 care givers since my dad passed away. I always got help, if I called with a problem Having used a number of different care giving companies, I would rate Right at Home as my favorite.

Caring62133050

Right at Home has been very helpful for my mother who has dementia. We’ve been using them for a year now. She’s currently getting 24-hour care. We initially needed a few hours a week and gradually when my mom needed more care, they were able to increase the staffing. They were easy to work and interact with. They were able to find the right caregiver for my mom. She’s very comfortable with them.
