Option For Senior America worked well with us to find affordable care for our mom. The person they sent was wonderful, but she is retiring at the end of this month. They are sending a replacement. We are looking forward to her helping.
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.
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.
