Types of care available in Doylestown, PA
We chose Care Connect Solutions because it was recommended to us and I found they were a little cheaper than some other groups. They were also very accommodating and flexible with the hours that we were needing. We are having a good experience with our caregiver we currently have, she has been wonderful and so was out first one we had. I would recommend them to others looking to use them.
This company is worth looking at if you need care for an elder. The workers that they have sent out have been pretty good for the most part.
Activities - not sure what this means. My sister was very sick so she was bedridden. She was well cared for and kept company. Activity was primarily bathing her. Value for cost - I believe I got great service
