AgingCare 2

We are very happy with Around the Clock Companion Care. The caregiver that they matched with my mother-in-law is just about a perfect fit. The caregiver does everything I've asked and then some. She takes care of the house, feeds my mother-in-law and our two cats, runs errands and plays tiles, too! We look forward to her visits three times a week.

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.

It's a challenge to share your home with strangers and I think they did as good a job as can be expected. Always on time Also. Very important.

We have found caregivers that work and we schedule to their availability. Only issue we have had with home matters is their website is often having log in issues

Aveanna was in-home care. The staff was friendly. They were flexible with our lifestyle. We didn't live in the same city as the office, therefore, it was hard finding caregivers willing to drive to our house. We ended up having to cancel our plans more often than expected. And in the end we ended up placing him in a facility because we couldn't cancel our life all the time.

I think the owner was wonderful, friendly and would do everything in her power to find the right fit for your loved one. The hard part is finding good people that's willing to take care of your loved one, be their companion and do some light housework to help out the family. Places like Happy at Home were very helpful to me and gave me peace of mind knowing mom wasn't alone while I was working.

[name removed]the supervisor/manager of the care staff is the nicest person! He has always tried his best to be accommodating and tries to find a good match between the caregiver and recipient. He is a very positive guy and all of the caregivers have been nice and friendly.

The office staff was very attentive to our questions and needs. They just need to make sure they get a patient care plan set up so the aides know what is expected. They have a team that covers for call offs, which is wonderful, especially for late call offs

Administrative Staff is very responsive. Our caregivers were timely, pleasant and patient. Mostly reactive (if you ask they will do) but not extremely proactive . We were pleased over all.

You all are very quick and reliable with notifications and bills. I do think my mother enjoys having [name removed] there.

Very nice, caring people. Seem to do their best to accommodate your needs. I would recommend to others.

There has been a lot of turnover recently among the caregivers. [name removed], my mother's favorite left to move back home. Not been the same level since.

Most of the caregivers are experienced, caring & work well to try to accommodate the needs of my mother. There have been a few caregivers that did not work out well due to inexperience & lack of work ethic. The management staff are professional, friendly & mostly willing to work with the family on various requests or issues as needed.

Overall experience: 4 Friendliness: 5 Quality of care: 3-3.5 this is very hard to evaluate because my mother resisted everything her caregivers attempted to do for her. It is our consensus, with so much resistance and no positive affirmation, over time they probably stopped trying. I think we have probably all found ourselves in that position at some point in our careers Administration: 5 [name removed] could not have been more helpful Value for the money: 4 One other point I want to mention is there was never a time, whether it was daytime, evening, or weekend that Tara didn't answer our call/text or respond almost immediately. That was definitely something we loved about Cornerstone!

I had them as my at home assistance. The administration staff/owner was excellent. The quality of care was a 4, they shuffled a few assistance workers thru my home right at first, but we settled in on one girl that was fantastic....I can't remember her name but she was awesome. The value for the money was very good. The girl would help with making lunch everyday making anything my wife wanted. Over all I would recommend them for in home care.

This is a very good and caring service. The staff is professional and quite helpful. Management is very quick at responding to any questions or needs you may have.

I had two different care givers for my mom when I went out of town for shows. Both were absolutely trustworthy and reliable. They were friendly and my mom seemed to enjoy their company. All in-home care is frighteningly expensive. But when you need to have it what choice do you have. Overall, the experience was a good one. Something I would recommend to people in my position.

Admin is great. Minimum hours required helped us. Cost is good. [name removed] the caretaker was outstanding.
