They help with things that I need to have done and they are here with me when my husband is not here. They seem to be friendly and warm. I like the caregiver very much.

The caregivers take care of my loved one so that I don't have to get them dressed and showered. I've been having a lot of turnover in caregivers on the weekends.

Their communication has been pretty solid and they are easy to deal with, which makes things easier for me with scheduling the care. I would certainly encourage them. I think it comes down to a preference thing, like how they have a minimum four-hour scheduling time. He would like less time with them on Sundays.

It is good only when I get my main caregiver, otherwise the caregivers are not very good. If they have the caregiver that I have, then it is good, but some of the other people are mediocre. I like the ability to call and have them come at the same time every week.

The caregiver is excellent, but my loved one doesn't like having anyone help. Some of the replacements are up to the normal caregiver's level. I like the caregiver that my loved one has.

They know her limitations, and they are helpful about it. They don't just see her as a job. They really care about her. They are professional in the quality of the caregiver, the billing, and the quality of the administration.

They come for my mom and my aunt. They cater to know specific things for each person. They are flexible about the care and adjust the care according to what is going on in the house. They are very responsive, if I need anything, and they are flexible with my schedule.

It frees me up to get to work. They're professional, and they do their work. They come when they're supposed to, and the management is flexible with schedules when emergencies happen. We went through a few people that weren't good, but when I told them what I didn't like, they immediately sent us three good people.

My parents need constant attention, and I'm not able to give it. They benefit because they get that constant attention, and I benefit because I can keep my job. They correct mistakes quickly with staffing and other things.

The current caregiver is very good, but there shouldn't be such a significant drop off in the quality of service. It should be more consistent. The reason I rate them lower is because there seems to be a broad fluctuation in the quality of the caregivers they send. The one that I have now is good, but there is a significant drop off in some of the other ones I have had.

The services help my loved one by them just being here. When she is here, she helps get meals, helps them get around, and takes them to the doctor and the store. I like the agency because the caregivers come on time, and they do what they are asked to do.

I have a fractured hip so I can't do stuff around the house. It has helped us tremendously to be able to get the things done. They have done well. They picked a person that has a little bit of an accent, but I have no difficulty understanding her. She is extremely nice and does everything without a complaint and always has a smile.

If I didn't have my nurses I wouldn't even be able to put on my bra. It impacts my daily life hugely. I truly need my CNAs. I wouldn't be able to survive. Whenever they have anyone that needs recommendations I always recommend them. They have quality staff and caregivers.

They are very helpful at getting me ready in the mornings. The caregiver we have is very good at getting me up in the morning and getting me dressed, but then after that, they tend to go to sleep or talk on the phone a lot.

I don't have to worry about anything anymore. My mom was kind of a handful, and I was getting a lot of calls from the facility. Now, I get fewer calls. The caregivers I have right now is outstanding. The scheduling and support is outstanding. I had a couple caregivers that I wasn't happy with, and the scheduling people switched them out immediately. I like their responsiveness and the quality they have.

There is only one caregiver that I trust because they really care and do the job. I don't like everyone and they don't meet my needs. I particularly like one caregiver though, since her job is to take care of me and she cares. I have had caregivers that make me uneasy, though.

His care is excellent Monday through Friday mornings. The evenings are okay and the weekends are rough. It would be easier if there was a steady caregiver for the weekends. At this point, his home care during the week is good. The weekends are tough to get a steady person. He never knows who is coming.

They make his life easier by taking care of his every need from bathing to dressing. They also help with grooming, walking, eating and every day personal care. It is a huge impact. I like that they're very good at making sure there are back up people in case the regular people cannot come. My husband gets excellent care during the week and during the weekend.

It is somewhat frustrating because there are times where they can't find people for Saturdays or Sundays. The caregiver we have had for over a year now works 6 days a week. It is their choice, but they need some freedom. I asked for a specific gender in the first place, but have never had one. I didn't get to interview the caregivers like I wanted to. I think that their price is very high for seniors when we have to have it. I think $26 an hour is outrageous. A lot of the time the caregiver is just "babysitting." Their price is horribly high for seniors. I can understand why people are changing to private care.

I'm the one that has to be taken care of and I want caregivers that are closer to my culture. They don't do a good job of matching them with me based on that. I had a caregiver that came twice a week, but I lost her to a case that was five days a week. I would like it if they would match me with a caregiver that wants to only work once or twice a week on my case so that I have the same caregiver.

The best! I can't say enough good things about this agency. We have used several different companies for the care of my parent, but Home Care Assistance is extraordinary. The personalized attention of the office staff, particularly Jamaya, is incredible. She is my hero! The caregivers are patient and professional in a job that can at times be a challenge, particularly 'L' who works during the day. Her dedication is amazing! My parent is comfortable at home and I don't worry when the caregivers are there. Thank you so much!

Home Care Assistance assigns caregivers that are fabulous, she did a wonderful job in taking very little time to get a routine down. She's been so close to us, I had hired her to visit the patient in the nursing home, but Home Care Assistance can't reach her.
