We've used Homewatch CareGivers for the last few months for my 91-year old Mom. Mom still tries to be independent, and she doesn't think she needs anyone to help her, but the caregivers were excellent and able to work with my difficult Mom. The caregivers are top notch -- caring, competent and professional. The staff has been wonderful. They have always come through, even when we had a schedule change at the last moment. They are completely trustworthy, dependable and professional, and I wouldn't trust any other company to take care of my Mom.

For the last two years, [name removed], [name removed] and team have provided excellent service and care to my loved one. Don't know what I would do without them.

Choice Senior Home Care provided care for my Dad when he returned home from stroke rehab. They took the time to understand my Dad's circumstances and to match care givers to his needs. They were flexible in adjusting schedules to manage his overall care. The care givers were compassionate and reliable. They assisted with meal preparation, personal hygiene, dressing, medications, transferring, and companionship. They communicated any issues or concerns to family members regularly. We would recommend Choice to anyone with home care needs.

Home Helpers is amazing! They were incredibly quick to respond to my inquiry and were able to send a helper the same day for my mother. Highly professional and caring, each helper made my mother feel comfortable and at ease. We will be using them for all of our home help needs for years to come. I would highly recommend Home Helpers for your loved one!

The caregiver that comes out to the house feels like part of the family. They are energetic and friendly. They help out wherever they can including helping with some light housework. They made setting up the service easy and they are straightforward. They are quick to respond to any issue or concern we may have. I would recommend this service.

So far Home Helpers have been helpful and reliable. I haven't had any complaints. They seem to be working out well so far.

The price is reasonable. They’re a homecare service so the categories of cleanliness and activities don’t really apply. I thought the staff was very friendly and the care services were very helpful to us. It was easy to rate them at a four and a half.

The way they bill ya and stuff, that's about the only thing that I kind of disagree with, but they're working with me. It's just I don't understand some of the things that they do. We only have one person, I didn't want multiple people coming in and if he can't come in I just let it go. I guess it was a couple of people that I spoke to, different companies and I just chose him. They just were, as far as I was concerned, more knowledgeable about Alzheimer's and stuff. Financially it's hard and I'm supposed to be getting some help but they're taking their sweet time.

I met Perfecto in May of 2012. He came to our Senior Center to perform and told the audience about the services Magic Touch provided and the staff from Magic Touch was there as well to answer questions about the home care services they provide. We were all very interested in what he had to say and we have his brochures available for people and we also have his ad in our monthly newsletter. Perfecto sings and has a fantastic "One Man Show". The seniors love him and the warmth and trust he has for others is clearly noticed by all. He sings songs that bring joy to everyone. When he meets you the first time you have an instant respect for who he is and what he stands for. I would never have a problem recommending Magic Touch to anyone.

AllCare Associates is a small company, I chose them because they weren't so commercial. They took time during the placement interview to get to know my mom and her needs (kind of like a dating service) and matched her with the right caretakers. They keep everything very clean; the aides and director are very friendly.

They sold me on the 1st visit and as she is new to our community they are working out the quirks. The caretakers for the most part have been great!

Mom has had a couple good people helping her. She likes it when the same one or two people come so she doesn't have to retrain people all the time. She likes to feel comfortable with the person so they can help her go through personal stuff. We have learned that texting gets a faster response for an immediate situation and if you do leave a message just ask for a quick call back to know that the message was received

I liked their time, and flexibility. I would recommend to others and I'm satisfied with them

What we like most about Home Matters is that they will do mostly what was asked of them, within reason. Yes, we would recommend their services to other families, we just didn't have enough to keep them busy, coming 3 times a week and 4 hours.

[name removed] who was the manger that I first met with was lovely! Very kind! When I had an issue they responded quickly to resolve it!

What we like the most about ComForCare Home Care is the accessibility of management and customer service. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had!

I left out the categories that don't really apply for us. These are overall ratings. I must say that for both [name removed][name removed][name removed] and [name removed] , our current regular caregivers, I would give a 5 all around. I hope we can keep them on Mom's team for a good long time!

[name removed] and [name removed] are wonderful to work with. This is a small agency, so had to wait for them to hire people to get the help. A couple of missteps with caregivers not showing up and had to drive out to my parents home at 10 pm on a few occasions to cover the shifts. Took a while, and still working on, caregivers filling out care time sheets appropriately and in a timely manner. They will always work it out though. One caregiver does not speak English, which makes it hard, but only one of the overnight caregivers, so limited talking needed. Daytime caregiver, although great with my father, could never help in taking him to appts for me as her car is very unsafe and not trustworthy.

Price & flexibility of hours was a 5. I really liked the owner, very thorough, friendly and flexible. But the person sent to care for my dad was to young and inexperienced. If hiring this company, I recommend asking for a mature caregiver.

This review is borderline 5. From the first phone call I immediately felt a personal connection with PeopleFirst. We had a great initial meeting in person meeting and once matched with a caregiver were able to meet her first to make sure it was a good fit. Other places did not give that opportunity. Overall the care quality is good, we are only using companion care and light house keeping/meal prep but my mom is happy. Negatives, the billing address to where to pay them on the invoice is not correct so our payment got returned, after a few months they have still not updated it in their system so it's confusing. We also asked to get bi-weekly invoices which I needed to remind them of.
