They're doing just fine. They've been very kind, helpful, and patient with my mom. And I think they're very well priced.
We are no longer using their services, since my loved one needed to move into assisted living. However, it was a good experience working with them. The prices were definitely a little high, but we were able to have the same caregiver come out. We had no issues with tardies or scheduling conflicts. In fact, they were actually very accomodating to our schedules! I appreciated that they were able to help me on short notice with change of schedule! It happened frequently, due to my childrens' schedule and my sister's schedule, and they adjusted quickly!
They've done a great job working with my Mom, and she's shown a lot of improvement, we're down from needing around 30 hours of help a week to about 6. Due to the scheduling I haven't met many of the caregivers myself, but Mom has found a few she enjoys working with. They're always on time, and we've never had any issues with no-shows!
