Care Advantage - Richmond

Anonymous_1702559904

They come in here and check it out every 3 months. They need to be on top of what they do, I would like to have the same caregiver and not a bunch of people I don't know.

FLORENCE C

I just needed someone to be with her. I had thirteen call-outs in 30 days and only one of them was restaffed.

Anonymous_1702048795

They check in here and have done things that I couldn't do. They have taken good care of me and the people that work for them have done very well.

SANDRA I

They sent good staff members. I like the caregivers that were sent.

Anonymous_1701442724

They take care of a lot of chores that I can't handle on my own anymore. The caregiver has been excellent. I would recommend them because they fill their spots, but they do it the same as any other company.

ARNOLD H

They were able to get someone out there quickly when his care changed within the instance. I liked that they were fast-acting. They sent out quality representatives.

BRANDON S

They have people who can come in when needed. They have backup if the aid calls out.

I could rely on them. I would recommend them because I felt they provided care and compassionate.

They are consistent. They provide care while I am working. They are very reliable.

FERNANDO G

The services improved him daily life in terms of having someone to help him bathe. He was stubborn and did not want them anymore. I can speak to my father that he is not comfortable having someone for him. It would make sense to match the right caregiver to the temper of elderly folks. They could be as consistent as possible with the client's comfort.

CONNIE K

There wasn't a lot to be done. She was bedridden and not very alert. They were willing to do stuff, but there wasn't as much to do. We had the same daytime caregiver and they were easy to work with.

LINDA M_1

It is a big deal for me when you all are there. They were more trained than some of the other caregivers I have had.

Provider Response

GEORGIA ALVIS J

They could have done their job. First off, they sent someone who couldn't speak English, and the next one was on her phone for an hour. One of them couldn't even help my mom get out of bed. They need to show up and do their job. They book, and then they don't show up to work.

Provider Response

LINDA M

The caregiver took the time to learn the client's emotions and feelings. A little help with transportation from the people who do not have any.

They could not let people call out before every shift and not be able to fill the shift. They need to work on scheduling, quality of care, consistency, and communication.

Provider Response

BARBARA S_3

I like that this is what she needs. They could improve the overall experience but we have not had consistent caregivers. Working with the administration has been difficult.

Provider Response

JOHN B_4

The first caregiver was here overnight and made sure that he did not fall and helped with getting him ready for the day. He just needed some extra attention, so he did not fall. The first caregiver that came was really good, and the second one was not so good.

They come in and sit. Some vacuum, but the majority sit and do nothing. We have had several times when nobody showed up

SYLVIA K

Since we finally got the right person in here, it's been excellent. She takes care of my mom, she respects her, and she's wonderful with her. I would like to see improved scheduling.

AMY B

They have really helped me by them being here and doing the things I cannot because I am not here. I like that they are available and responsive.

Provider Response

JUNE H

There is really nothing to improve, it just depends on the person who is coming. I would like the agency to improve on more transparency because a few times no one came out or told me ahead of time. As well as more time to get to know the caregiver before they start.

Provider Response

MARILYN F

It gave us support when my wife came back from the hospital. Some of the people who came here just sat in the chair and did nothing. Others were very engaged and always on the lookout for what the client needed.

Provider Response

RACHEL B

They are attentive and she anticipates the needs of my mom. The caregiver we have is exceptional.

Provider Response

KHALIDA B

I would like them to have a backup aid for Khalida. They also need to be better at scheduling their aids correctly as well. I would like them to make sure we always have an aid, and to have a backup aid assigned to give her care. It is hard when we have a caregiver who doesn't show up to work.

Provider Response

STEVEN H

I need assistance when I came home from the hospital, but they told me I did not need them anymore. I thought they did a great job for the most part. I had two therapists; I thought the physical therapist was great, but the occupational therapist was a waste of time.

They find workers. They are always following up. They are usually reliable when we make phone calls to them. They are good with scheduling, and they call us back pretty quickly. They try to find a sub if our caretaker can't come.

Provider Response

KATHERINE R

They were great and it was nice to have someone there, but she did not like people in her house. I would recommend them because a lot of the caregivers that came out were very knowledgeable with hospice patients and help me understand what was happening.

Provider Response

ALICE K_1

We had to follow the guidelines of the facility and they were able to be there to care for her in addition. We were grateful to have them. I liked that they are very communicative between me and my sister. They would let us know through text that an attendant wasn't coming and working to get someone in.

We had an LPN who worked 16 hours a day and she was a huge source of comfort to our family, and we also had people coming in at night very sensitive to our needs and excellent care. We are highly recommending you to other people. You guys responded quickly and immediately and put 24/7 care for us with very short notice, and all of the caregivers who came in were amazing and just easy to work with.

My dad has Alzheimer's, and it has benefited having someone in there to interact with him. There is nothing that I don't like so far about the agency.

Provider Response

GLORIA L_1

It wasn't the company's fault, but it was because of the client not wanting to cooperate due to her Alzheimer's. We were very happy with everyone we came in contact with.

Provider Response

LINDA H_3

My wife is a fall risk, so the caretaker is there to help in case she needed to move around i.e. go to the bathroom. I would tell a friend that this company has a lot of flexibility, which is why I use them.

GEORGE E

It assisted us as a family in having help. The quality of the aides could be better.

Provider Response

Anonymous_7298

By having in-home care, we kept the client home. It helped relieve my brother. If all the care that we got from all the people was that of one of the aides there, it would have been outstanding. In general, at-home care is great to keep your loved one at home, but if it's not satisfactory or they don't show, we still got to our out loved one home but it didn't give us what we were hoping for. We had a lot of no-shows from Care Advantage. I think we had about 4 regular staff and one of them was very good, very reliable, and gave the client very good care. The other one was not very well trained or maybe she just wasn't compatible with the client, but she did not give the care the other one did. One of them for the night shift was very reliable.

Provider Response

KATHRYN C

It gives her a piece of mind that someone is always there to help her and take care of her needs. I like how they were quick to act and had someone ready to go the next day to provide services.

The services were helpful. We only did it a couple of times. The person came to be a sitter in the facility where he was. They were great. They were really nice. I would recommend Care Advantage because they did a great job getting him ready for hospice care. It was perfect for timing until we could get the hospice.

When the caregivers didn't show up, it was hard on me because I couldn't make my appointments I had set up already. Sometimes the caregivers didn't show up, but when they did, they were great caregivers.

It gave me peace of mind. The second caregiver did fall asleep in the middle of the day, and when we needed lunch my mom didn't want to wake her so she made lunch. I would recommend them because they were very flexible when I needed them to start and finish.

Provider Response

EVELYN M

The first person they sent was very young, and didn't have the experience. She needed more training. The first couple of people that they sent did not work out, but the last caregiver was great. At first, we felt we were having a bad experience.

Provider Response

JERRY G

The physical therapy, occupational therapy, and skilled nursing are helping my husband to get better and be able to walk. He is getting better after three months and is starting to walk again. There are limited-service options because of what kind of patient he is, and this was his only option to be able to walk again while in home. They are helping my husband to walk again. I feel like they are very personable. I feel as though they are collaborative as well. I feel totally confident talking to them about what I see my husband's needs being. They listen to me and we work together.

It is easier knowing someone is here but we feel like we don't have a great way of knowing how well my mom is doing.

I would recommend Care Advantage - Richmond over the other ones. We've had a very good experience with the director there and the lady that handles setting up the homecare people. She's worked very nicely with us. The caregiver we have now from that company is on time, cleans, helps my mom change the sheets, cleans the floors and the bathrooms, and heats their dinner. He's never called out. If he had to take a vacation, he gives plenty of notice. Both of my parents like him. It's all good right now. I would recommend them.

I called in Care Advantage to assist in the care of my 94 year old Mother. Mom was in a healthcare wing of a retirement community following a fall that resulted in several broken ribs and confusion. Care Advantage was to have someone with my Mom 24/7. The first shift was terminated after three hours as the healthcare nursing staff had to send the Care Advantage aide home due to illness. We expressed our concern not knowing what Mom may have been exposed to. This was followed by a number of last minute no shows resulting in partial shifts or no coverage at all. My Mom's healthcare facility alerted me to complaints they had with Care Advantage i.e., Mom was found walking down the hall by herself as the Care Advantage aide was found asleep in my Mom's room. The second complaint was when the resident physical therapist happened into my Mom's room to find my Mom laying on the bathroom floor with the Care Advantage aide only feet away on her phone and unaware of my Mothers situation. This is the second time that I have used Care Advantage. I entered this agreement with the expectation of providing my Mom with additional safety measures. Unfortunately after 21 days I realized that I had taken a challenging situation and made it worse by putting my Mom in the care of Care Advantage.

The workers have a list of things to do, but not everyone goes by the list. The workers are pretty good. They could have less people come in and more quality workers come in.

They do everything for me. The caregiver that I have is a very good match. They are also very good at following up with me.

They are always there when I need somebody to help. Care Advantage will respond immediately in an emergency. If I need someone, they will get them for me.

She always tries to get me out of the house. They do very well because the aides are very caring.

They could charge me less money. They are competent at assigning people.

They come two days a week and that gives me a chance to get out, have some time, and do some errands. They could be a little better with their communication with us. Other than that, they do a good job with what they are here for.

The services help me do the things I can't do by myself. They are consistent in getting me a caregiver.

It is a big help when we need them. The last one I had was great. However, I ended up with my pots and pans destroyed because they didn't know they weren't supposed to use silverware in them. There was one who didn't know how to vacuum or sweep. She tried hard. I've had good and bad caregivers come from there. A couple of them were really good, and there were a couple of others who didn't know what to do.

They didn't do very much. I haven't had many experiences with them so I don't have sufficient information to recommend them.

They shouldn't have charged me for four hours when I only needed a shower. They had a minimum requirement. They come when it's convenient for me and it's easy to schedule.

They have been life saving. My mom fell and broke her hip, and we had to leave the state for a wedding. They stayed and helped her while we were gone. I don't know that I could have attended that wedding without them. They are very organized, and I got a lot of calls to organize our schedule. All the individuals that we worked with have been very good.

The caregiver cleans and brushes my hair. She also makes sure I take my medicine, and she makes me food to eat. This one girl I have is wonderful. If they were all like her, I would recommend them all the time, but the receptionist is rude.

The caregivers need to make sure they are taking initiative. They need to follow up and call and let me know when it has been done.

Provider Response

BETTIE R

They are not that dependable, they don't talk, they aren't compassionate, and they don't provide transportation to doctor appointments. They can be more assertive to the employees, and they don't allow the employees to take me to doctor appointments. Their help isn't that dependable.

The person that I have doesn't come on time all the time and sometimes leaves early. They need to pay more to get us better caregivers.

All of my dealings with them, they were really good. They were very prompt, polite, and knowledgeable. They showed us many things in just one appointment.

The services help us to get up and walk around. The caregivers have always shown up.

JUDITH W_4

They help her to do basic tasks, like makeup and laundry, and they help her with transportation. They could do a couple little things better. I don't like being billed weekly, I'd rather it be monthly. The way they manage their caregivers isn't great and the hours are rigid. I'm not sure how able the caregiver is to report her hours.

This is a terribly managed company with rude, unprofessional, and incompetent staff. They will not communicate in a timely manner and leave everything for the last minute. The office staff is combatitive and more interested in arguing with you that offering customer service. Caregivers will take time off and clients will never be notified. Also there seems to be no process to ensure caregivers are able tto perform the functions of their job, the main priority is to fill slots in a schedule. We have have had lazy caregivers who are rarely punctual. We have had caregivers who lack basic personal hygiene. One caregiver did not want to be observed on her first visit by a family member when she was with the patient. She then placed a soiled diaper directly on the floor and when she was informed that was unacceptable she stormed out in an unprofessional manner. You are better off going with a small company that cares more about customer satisfaction.

BILL AND BRENDA D

We should have gotten in touch with them earlier to let them pick out someone that could do what we wanted them to do. We were traveling to another state and it was a long trip. We needed somebody to be with us on the trip. They were responsive.

NOELIA S

They tell me where I need to go because I am blind and they really pay attention to my needs. They tell me what is best for me. All of the caregivers are very experienced, kind, knowledgeable, and the scheduler can always match me with someone that is good with me.

LINDSAY D

They did nothing for me. They could have gone over the notes from the initial interview and sent me the right person for what I needed. They need better communication with each other. The caregiver didn't even know that I was in a wheelchair. The communication between the nurses and the staff needs to be improved.

They could have had better housekeeping skills. They should increase accessibility to get in contact with them.

She is getting really good care because she cannot do normal routine things on her own and they are providing excellent care. Susanna in the office really cares and is thorough with her paperwork. The caregiver is also very thorough.

I was unable to do anything in the morning, and they would get my breakfast for me and help me take a bath. Later, they helped me with transportation to the doctor. I was unable to do hardly anything the first day, and the person who came on the first day was wonderful.

It helps by having her drive me to the doctor. They've been very good to deal with, I've enjoyed it, and they've treated us very well. They're very professional.

I needed help because I had a pretty big surgery, but I had already prepared for most of what was needed because I didn't know I was going to have help. They really didn't have that much to do. The first caregiver that came in pointed at my furniture and told me that they had to go. She turned my table upside down, moved all of my papers, took the table apart, and then sat on the couch and watched things on her phone rather than actually helping. I called the office because I wanted her to be counseled and corrected.

NINA P_1

They take me to doctor's appointments, they take care of my needs, and help me move around. They are very good. They worked with me and helped me with a lot of stuff.

SUSAN W

They could have tried to show my mother the advantages of the services more. The caregivers I got could have been more assertive and tried to help her take advantage of the services.

She helped me bathe, helped me with my wheelchair, and helped me with everything I need. The nurses aid came and she was quite good. When I woke up she cleaned me up, had my breakfast ready, and got me to the store.

MARGARET M_11

They were able to get here when they needed to be. We are satisfied with the care.

She couldn't function without them. It has a tremendous impact on her. They do a pretty good job at matching the personalities of the caregivers to the clients. Everybody is dressed professionally.

DOROTHY H_2

She is there and takes her shopping. She takes her to the doctor. I like that the young lady that comes to my mother is kind and efficient. She is everything that I could hope for.

JACK M

I needed the help because I had been taking care of my husband myself. When the skilled people came to relieve me, I felt comfortable that I could either rest or do something else that had been put off. The caregivers who came were top notch in being sensitive and skilled to what needed to be done at the time.

MARY M

I had company and someone that I could rely on. The caregiver was very attentive to do the things I asked to be done.

HERBERT G

They escorted my father to the wedding. They were responsive when we asked for changes.

TERRI C

They were available to come for me and it was a lifesaver for me because I am diabetic and my blood sugar was erratic after my surgeries. They made it so that I could stay in my house instead of having to go somewhere else. I did not feel like that I was respected by one of their caregivers who came to assist me because one day she went ahead and opened my blinds, even though I asked her specifically not to.

NARGES A

Without the services, my mother couldn't live alone. She depends on the services to live alone and be a little bit independent and live at her house still. They're very dependable and their aides are very professional. They are on time, they follow through, and they care. The office communicates well when there is an issue. They're familiar with the schedule and the needs of the patient.

BRENDA K

It was nice to know that someone was there besides myself. One of the caregivers was very sick and she should not have even come, but she did.

SANDRA B_11

Care Advantage's quality of service is not that good. I am disappointed on some things. I was once charged for a half an hour of service that I did not have. It's great because I get to get out. I can afford it, too.

They are reliable and I know I will get a good driver to take me to where I need to go. When I need them, they are good about getting somebody for me and I like that they stay with me so they don't have to pick me up again.
