Everything regarding my experience with Accent Care from the very beginning has been blissful. I was in an urgent critical situation needing to find a place for mom quickly, and it went surprisingly well. The only area I can think of to make a suggestion would be if the two primary caregivers would call or e-mail me once a month or so just to let me know how they are doing, that they are happy with the way things are going, and share any thoughts they have. That really is the only thing I can think of. They are simply wonderful, and we have been just absolutely thrilled with both caregivers!
I felt the need to inquire through this review that this agency is the best home care company I've worked with. The services that my caregiver provides me make my life so much easier as I'm getting old. I've tried other home care agencies and none of them compared to All Heart Home Care.
I have recently been using this company and so far I have no complaints with how things are going. The staff are polite and make sure to answer any questions I have for them. The caregivers are very professional and always on time to our appointment. Any issues that I have had the office has made sure to resolve them in a timely manor. Overall it has been a pleasant experience and I would recommend them to anyone.
