Alvita provided me with 24/7 services for my dad following 2 cardiac surgeries. Flexibility and compassion from management as we struggled to pin down a hospital release date, coupled with their calm assurances that they were ready and would have staffing on site (and they did) was so helpful. The staff were excellent and took amazing care of my dad, even alerting me when he wasn’t doing as well. I would recommend them to anyone.

They start off great, but the caregivers get complacent and the standard of care drops. They always try to get a replacement.

They have helped the most with aides who helped him. Some sat there all day and on their phone. They could've improved with better aides. Some were great and some were awful, I told never to come back again.

I recently had the privilege of utilizing the services of Alvita Care for my grandmother, who was battling cancer. From the moment we engaged with their team, we were immediately impressed by their professionalism and compassion. The caregivers from Alvita Care went above and beyond to provide exceptional home care, tailored to my grandmother's unique needs. Their expertise in managing the challenges associated with cancer made us feel confident and reassured throughout the process. The caregivers were not only highly skilled but also showed genuine empathy, treating my grandmother with the utmost respect and kindness. The level of personalized attention and support they provided was truly remarkable. Alvita Care proved to be an invaluable resource during a difficult time, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking exceptional home care for their loved ones, especially those battling cancer.

I want to express my appreciation for the care Alvita provided my husband throughout his battle with lung cancer. Their team not only assisted him in managing his physical needs but also ensured his emotional well-being, allowing him to remain as comfortable as possible until his passing.

Very positive, I need them. I think that they have found the best aids under the circumstances. They are responsive, they try really hard to provide me with quality aids and are flexible with pricing. I think that they train the aids. They are very responsive to challenges and issues when it comes to the aids.

I was seeking a concierge, elite agency to provide nursing care for my husband. I looked into four and chose Alvita mainly due to the cheaper pricing as well as I felt the nursing director went above and beyond when she called me and walked me through everything. The very first day things went wrong. The nurse knew nothing about my husband. Day 2, 3, 4, a new nurse every time. All who seemed very unskilled and dazed and confused. One nurse told me that there were no trainings and no direct management of the nursing team. Long story short, I switched agencies to one that provides true concierge higher class services and we are now happy. Just like the adage goes, you get what you pay for and this is the case with Alvita. I think they may be more of a fit like a Medicaid agency. If you are looking for that elite, VIP care this is not the agency for you.

It has been a positive experience because the caregiver acts as a peacekeeper in a house that does not have a lot of peace. I would recommend them because so far they have been on point. The billing is on point with them.

Alvita Care is hands down the best care service we could have hired. After my grandpa had a stroke, we were worried about him being alone and how he would function in his daily life. That is when Alvita Care came in. Their nurses and staff always show up on time, bright and full of energy. My grandfather has become close with his aides and even jokes about making us leave just so they could come over! The staff assists him with any and all needs such as housekeeping, prepping meals, bathing, shopping, companionship, and assistance with going to doctor’s appointments, social events, and any other appointment he may have. My grandpa loves how the aides make it feel like they truly want to be there with him and not like it is just their job. I would recommend Alvita Care to anyone who needs a home health aide, they truly are the best.

When my grandfather underwent surgery, Alvita Care proved to be an invaluable source of comfort and assistance. Their compassionate and attentive team went above and beyond to ensure his recovery was smooth and comfortable. They were responsive, reliable, and always there when we needed them. Their coordination team kept us well-informed throughout the process, offering peace of mind during a stressful time.

I was overwhelmed with the duty of providing for my elderly aunt's care needs as the primary caregiver. That's when I learned about Alvita Care, and I'm extremely appreciative of the superb home health care services they provide. My aunt's quality of life has been considerably enhanced thanks to Alvita Care, which has been a priceless resource for our family. Alvita Care quickly garnered my appreciation for their considerate and professional attitude. They took the time to understand my aunt's special needs and created a tailored care plan that catered to them. The caregivers assigned to us were not only highly skilled but also showed genuine care and quickly formed a bond with my aunt. Their exceptional home health care services have lightened my caregiving load and provided my aunt with the support she needs to maintain her independence and enjoy life to the fullest. I appreciate the positive impact Alvita Care has made and would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate care for their loved ones.

They sent another man named Daniel. There was a nurse from the agency who came the same day Daniel started. There was poop in the client's diaper and he never poops in his diaper, so Daniel didn't ask him to go to the bathroom. His Foley bag was completely full. He did not do any cooking or light housekeeping, which is what is in the contract. He stared at the client all day. He was with us for a couple of weeks, then I got a call saying that he couldn't make it and they sent someone else. They sent a girl who was 15 minutes late, went outside to smoke, then left the client alone for 2 1/2 hours. Thank God my mother was there, but she had just gotten out of the hospital. She came back, got my father out of bed, took him to the table to eat, and let him with my mom to help him eat. I was going to report them to the state, but I didn't. Thankfully, the first agency we had had somebody to fill the slots. If they hadn't been able to do that, I was going to call another agency. The first aide that came was lovely, but wasn't really sure what to do. The client has dementia and is bedridden, but not completely. He can still get up and use his walker to go to the bathroom. He gets kind of angry sometimes. I couldn't get him to get up, and if you let him, he will sleep all day. That can't happen because he is diabetic and needs to eat. She had no idea how to coerce him into getting up.

I am compelled to express my gratitude for the swift response and exceptional service provided by Alvita Care during a critical time. After my grandfather's fall when no one was home, we urgently needed additional care to ensure his safety as he was still recovering from his stroke. On a Sunday afternoon, Alvita Care promptly answered our call and arranged for a caregiver to be with him within just two hours. Their quick action and dedication to his well-being alleviated our concerns and prevented further falls. We are immensely thankful for their responsiveness and commitment to providing exceptional care.

It helped her for sure. It seems like a waste of time for someone to sit there for 6 hours, while my mother was watching tv. Alvita Care could have improved by being more flexible in their duties. Light housekeeping according to them, as if an aide uses the glass they wash it. For elderly people, home care is a big part of what they need. They are not flexible, you have to do 6 hours at a minimum.

They're always attentive and making me aware of any serious weather to make sure I have enough food and batteries in the event of any kind of emergency. They're always there.
