They're very thoughtful, and make sure my mom is happy with the way things are being done. I like the ease of availability, expressing concerns, getting a hold of people, just being very responsive.

    Provider Response

    We appreciate the compliment. Our Care Managers all come from skilled medical backgrounds (RN, PTA, OT) and have decades of experience helping seniors age with dignity. Caregiver oversight by our Aging Life Care professionals makes the difference in the quality of care you receive. Not all home care companies are alike.

    Provider Response

    The friendly and positive attitude of their employees help us not rush though appointments. They have all the time that they need and my exercise programs are understood. I like the prompt way they have in keeping their schedules and if we have PT or OT they are very instructive and have the appropriate exercise.

    Provider Response

    Thank you for the kind words Frank. We conduct lots of hands-on safety training, both in the classroom and while in-home during "Meet & Greets" at the start of care. Just as importantly we hire for personality and look for Caregivers who will be a compatible and interesting match with our clients.

    Provider Response

    Kathy: Thank you for the kind words. The care that we provide not only benefits the care recipient but also benefits the family. We provide respite so that the family caregiver(s) can maintain their own health, independence, and familial relationship with their loved one. Sometimes family just want to be family and not take on the stresses of caregiving. For those family members outside of the home we offer a portal into our daily care notes, care plan, and of course our Care Managers are available for updates as desired.

    They could be more reliable. They could have better trained personnel.

    Provider Response

    Thank you for your feedback. We continuously strive for excellence in service and reliability. During the three months prior to your review we achieved a 98.9% reliability rate of fulfilling scheduled shifts. Though we always attempt to find replacement caregivers in the event of a call out it is not possible 100% of the time. Given the pandemic and the extra precautions we take around Caregivers having the slightest of symptoms, achieving 100% reliability is neither practical nor the safest way of handling when a Caregiver feels ill. Thank you for understanding. We pride ourselves on extensive training including a 6 hour pre-hire Orientation, 15 hours of online course, in-personal hands-on assistance training with mobility issues, transferring, bathing, toileting and dressing. These are the minimum amount of training we provide.

    They are trying and willing to help out and we are grateful for the help. They could have better training for the caregivers. They need to train on how to safely do transfers and have basic mobility and gate awareness. They need to know how to use a wheelchair.

    Provider Response

    Thank you for the valuable feedback. As a non-medical home care provider our Caregivers have a variety of skill levels, experience, and some have various certifications such as a PCA or LNA. Regardless of experience, all Caregivers attend a 6-hour pre-hire Orientation that includes safety training and are required to complete and pass a 15-hour series of eldercare courses. For those Caregivers without significant transferring experience we put them through our hands-on training lab that includes assisting with mobility, toileting, bathing and dressing. This is conducted by our Care Manager with 20-years former experience as a Physical Therapy Assistant. Most importantly, when we start a new case or introduce a new Caregiver to a client the Care Manager does an in-person Meet & Greet and provides the individual one-on-one coaching of the Caregiver for the particulars of that client's situation. Only after the care has started and we have worked with the client in home for a few shifts are we able to further refine the care plan to become more detailed with the Caregiver instructions. Ultimately our goal is to provide this concierge level of Care Management and care byCaregivers well suited for the needs of the individual client. Once Again thank you for your feedback.

    Thank you for the kind words. We are proud to have the lowest client to Care Manager ratio in the area. This gives our Care Managers the time to pay more personalized attention to each and every client and to the needs of their families. We then match a Caregiver not only based on skills and availability, but also match based on personality and potential compatibility with the care recipient for a superior home care experience.

    They took care of my dad very well and the visiting assistant would leave logs about what he would do and when he would get up. They would sit with him and watch TV. They were able to get someone available on very short notice for Thanksgiving. They went out of their way to call me after hours and we were able to arrange things in less than 48 hours.

    Home Care Assistance of Greater Burlington is outstanding. They have extra training for people with mental cognitive issues. The caregiver is prompt, courteous, interacts well with Dad, keeps him active, makes the meals that he enjoys, and takes him outside to see the birds. She is keeping him active and keeping him aware. She is very pleasant to work with. We have zero complaints.

    I had a broken hip. They did a number of things that I couldn't do. They could provide more dependability on people coming here. There were a lot of substitutes that came here.

    Provider Response

    We appreciate your feedback. We strive to create consistent assignments of caregivers serving the same client as all parties benefit from this familiarity. We work over the first several weeks of service with a new client to identify and assign that consistent caregiver. On short term assignments like yours this is not always possible. What we can guarantee is consistency in the quality of care. All caregivers go through the same screening, the same initial 15 course training program, and are overseen by well-versed Care Managers all with the intent to focus on quality of care. Thank you for the opportunity to serve your needs.

    That is where we have the trouble I guess. My loved one has Alzheimer's and I don't know who she would respond to. It is no fault of the individuals staying with her, she is just getting very belligerent. I don't know if anybody can come and change that at all. I would quite likely recommend them. I like that they can provide staff to provide home care.

    Provider Response

    Jeffrey, thank you for the valuable feedback. You are right that Alzheimer's is a challenging disease that displays itself in ever-changing ways. For this reason we train our caregivers on understanding various forms of dementia and work with clients on coping mechanisms. Sometimes the most valuable part of our services is simply providing much needed respite for those family members also caregiving.

    Provider Response

    Thanks Susan for your feedback. Because the family often is not there to see the care that is being provided we strive to keep the family well informed. Our Care Managers conduct periodic spot visits during a Caregiver's shift and as a team we work to enhance quality of life. Our daily care notes are then posted on a private web portal for the family to read how the care and their loved one were that day. Working together with the family we help our client's seek healthy longevity and happiness.

    I used two services from them, and one was more about cognition. The person that I was working with was very engaged and had a good feel for where we were going. We both knew when we had achieved our goal, and they put me back where I wanted to be. The second services were more of companionship and doing activities. They were extremely effective, and we realized again when we had reached the goal and the work was over. I used several services, and they were very well attentive and organized. They tailored the people to my needs and were able to make changes when needed. They were understanding and flexible.

    The individual that has been providing the care is very shy and reserved. She just kind of sits there and does puzzles. It isn't providing the social aspect that we were hoping for with my mother-in-law. I would like them to have stronger staffing levels. It seems like they have a lot of new staff coming in.

    Provider Response

    Thank you for this valuable feedback. We encourage all clients to talk with their Client Care Manager so that we can coach the caregiver on your needs and wants. We can add these to the Care Plan. We can also provide our Cognitive Therapeutics Method program at no additional cost. Not only is this program great for brain health and improved cognitive functioning, but it's also a fun and engaging social activity our caregivers can do with you.

    I think if they could reduce the minimum hours, it would be great for me. They help when my husband needs help. I think everything is fine, but we don't need four hours of service.

    Provider Response

    Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate that not all clients need four hours per visit; though most benefit from the additional time. This policy does allows for higher level needs to be addressed through our Balanced Care Method like healthy nutrition, mental stimulation, socialization, physical activity and a daily sense of purpose. Our Cognitive Therapeutic unique one-on-one brain activity program is more added value for the extra hour that we provide. Also by having these minimum standards of care we attract and retain many of the best caregivers in the area (who can command longer shifts). We love going beyond industry standards in every way!

    I would not recommend Home Care Assistance because their caregivers were not motivated. The manager at my new home care agency spent more time talking with me about my needs. Home Care Assistance could have made my life easier if they could have come up with more compatible caregivers.

    Provider Response

    Thank you for the feedback as we use this to continuously improve our service and the experiences of our clients. In general our caregivers are extremely motivated. As part of our rigorous new hire screening we conduct in-depth interviews, professional reference checks and personality profile assessments looking for strong scores in the area of conscientiousness and agreeableness. Should a client not be happy with the match we work to find alternatives caregiver matches to deliver the superior care the family expects and deserves. Thank you once again for your valued feedback.

    Home Care Assistance's caregivers were on time and they were very compassionate about my mother. Home Care Assistance was good about updating us on things that was going on with my mother at the nursing home she was in. My mother went into a nursing home and had a bad fall three days into her being there. Then me and my sisters were afraid to leave my mother alone there at night so we hired Home Care Assistance services. Those services helped to give me and my sisters a peace of mind so we didn't' have to be there for my mother 24/7 because it was hard for us to be there overnight.

    Tom and Stacy were incredibly patient in establishing a system we hoped would work for my uncle with dementia. They were responsive, flexible, creative, and organized in providing him care. When he chose not to access their caregivers, Tom and Stacy graciously stood by as we reluctantly exited the program.
