Types of care available in Grand Rapids, MI
We had a good experience with this home care agency. I use them when I go out of town. They do a good job with caring for my mother and her needs. I would use this home care agency again if needed.
They didn't have the staffing to deal with his medical decline, they're more of a companion, helping him around and some of his medication needed changing. We liked the Christian affect, they were very kind and caring, they were willing to stay extra and do extra. They tried their best to help us out, the only issue is the type of agency it was, things in our situation change fast and we needed a higher skill level.
Grandma Joan's provided me with a very easy to use platform to find and employ a live-in caregiver for my 104-year-old dad. All the administrative details which would have been very hard for me to find out and deal with were included in the step-by-step guidance provided. On one hand the service is pricey but on the other, not easy to find a comprehensive package that would have resulted in such a trustworthy arrangement, which was the overarching criterion. California has stricter rules about payment to caregivers than other states so cost is simply higher but given that as an unavoidable feature, this was still a more viable set up than I could otherwise find. All in all, I am very glad that I was referred to David and his service which has so far had a good outcome.
