I had a positive experience working with Ultimate Assistance for Elders home care agency. They provided me with excellent support and guidance to obtain needed services. Within a few days Heath aid started providing home care services that I needed. The Heath aid was very caring supportive and knowledgeable and was a great help for me. The office personnel was available to answer all questions that I had. They took time to understand my needs and answer my questions. Thank you Ultimately assistance for Elders team ! Your effort is greatly appreciated!
We chose A Peace of Mind because the price was reasonable and also the hours they were prepared to give us was what we were looking for. We needed someone 2 hours a day and they were the only ones who would do that, everyone else wanted more. I would recommend to others looking.
