The caregivers that they have sent out were very attentive and thoughtful. The staff at Griswold is really great and they really seem to care about the level or care and service that they provide. This has been a good experience.
Comfort Keepers was consistent on who they sent to help out my mom. They were skilled in caring for my mom and were attentive to her needs. The only downfall is that there was a lack of help when someone would call in sick. They didn't have a back up plan and would leave me with no caregiver at times.
The owner was amazing as well as the director. We had one caregiver that got to comfortable and sat on her phone all day and didn't engage or care for my mom. I had cameras so I knew what was going on. I notified the owner immediately and within a couple of hours that caregiver was gone. They were amazing. After that caregiver was gone I requested another one that was my favorite. She took amazing care of my mom and engaged with her all day. I never had to check my cameras because of the trust I had in her. The owner worked really hard to get the caregiver I wanted with my mom even with her busy schedule. If I had an issue, it was addressed immediately. I would highly recommend them!!
