Hope of Solace Agency in Raleigh, NC
5.0

If you want a reliable service, even with the owner filling in if needed, Hope of Solace is the agency for you. They require a minimum of 20 hours a week. They provided bathing and light meal prep for us. We varied from 15 hours a day to 4 hours a day over the course of a couple months time. The caregivers where caring, thoughtful people. Billing was automatic and setup auto draft from our account.

We chose Magnolia Affordable Home Care because she has early stages of dementia and I felt that when I met the caregiver she would have she would give her good care. She very sweet and very kind. We have had some scheduling issues but overall I would recommend them to others and I have been pleased.
