"They are dependable, and the office staff is really helpful. Just being here every day helped me a lot. She was on time. They made sure she ate, moved her, and made sure she was happy. They sat with her and talked with her. They were her companion. They always called me and checked up on their employees and Susan. They were very polite and did what needed to be done. There was not anything they could have done better."

"Dear Becky, I would like to advise you that Laurie Johnson is a clean, fun, and organized hard worker. She knows a lot of old ways of doing things and always introduces new ways. She is very fun to be with and makes us laugh. If Laurie did not work as my caregiver, she is still someone I would like in my life as a friend. Laurie is extremely patient with my declining husband. She listens to him and treats him with respect. She is also a great cook. Laurie does it all! Housework, laundry, bathing, and even arranging flowers. We love Laurie!"

"They have made themselves available, which establishes trust with me. My caregivers do their job, which shows they have a good work ethic, by taking the trash out. The caregivers should come to work in their uniforms or scrubs. They have made themselves available, which establishes trust with me. I appreciate that my caregivers do their job. My caregiver, Cora Smith, is very careful about watching me for possible fall risks. She has been there at my side like an assistant for walking around the house."

"The impact is huge. I don't have to worry about my mom because I know the caregiver is there providing companionship and that my mom's needs are taken care of. Stacy is thorough with my mom, she keeps good notes and follows through on what I ask her to do. Stacy definitely provides the care my mom needs. Stacy makes sure my mom eats, prompts her to take medication, helps with baths, and takes her for walks. I'm not looking for much communication with the office. They answer the phone when I need them, and that's absolutely sufficient. Stacy makes an effort to understand what my mom wants and needs, even in terms of companionship and friendship, and she's very flexible."

"They are very good at getting someone over here. When someone can't come, they try to get a substitute. They call me when the caregiver can't come and ask if I want a substitute. The services have been very helpful. It is nice to have someone here so I can go out and do necessary shopping. She cleans him up and changes his shirts. She does exercise his arms, which is good. She says hello and goodbye to him. I appreciate that she does do all the necessary steps to clean him up and feed him."

"She goes way beyond the service to make everything work for me. They cook my meals and do anything that I need to be done. I only know Becky. She provides anything I need. The caregivers do anything I need and asks if there's anything they can do to make me more comfortable. The lady that gives me a bath is outstanding."

"My situation is different from most. I am the caregiver for my father. They allow me to work in the home as my father's caregiver. My father has an excellent life. I would do anything for him. It has increased his quality of life. My father has lost lots of weight and is on fewer medications."
