Types of care available in Lincoln, NE
It's been excellent service and my mother is very pleased. The caregiving is not so much medical oriented, it's just that my mother's mobility is compromised so she needs some help cleaning and someone to take her to the store and doctor's appointments and things like that. Jean, whom we are dealing with, has gone out of her way to be helpful. I can highly recommend them to anybody who is needing a professional, reliable, friendly service. I would say that Caring Senior Serivce has a very high level of competency compared to other, similar services that I have been familiar with.
What our family likes the most about Home Instead is the removal of the worry that is associated with using a new caregiver. We would recommend this home care service to other families who may need it.
I would recommend them to others. We are very pleased with the care giver and the company, in general.
