Top Home Care Agencies in Ricetown, SC

My communication with the schedulers has been excellent, with a few glitches that were quickly corrected. When selecting a company, I would ask how caretakers are vetted and compensated to gain an idea of the kinds of candidates they attract. Although 1 or 2 of the caretakers, the younger ones, did not work out for us-too much time on their phones, not enough personal engagement with my husband who is the patient- most have been friendly, helpful and cooperative. Several are excellent in every way, and have become regulars. Home health care is very expensive, much more than assisted living, and is not covered by Medicare, except for actual medical services, but Right at Home assures me they will provide a statement outlining the tax deductions allowable. If you can afford it, home health care is far preferable to an assisted living facility. These are understaffed and poorly regulated and patients' experiences in most of them, according to published reports, is not what anyone would want for a loved one. Overall, ROH has been a godsend for my husband and for me. They are a national franchise. I would recommend them in the Charleston, SC area and hopefully elsewhere.

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.
