My loved one seems to like the staff. They care is pretty good. I would consider them again.
The staff members at Annie's Elder Care Services are very professional and have excellent communication with our family. They wanted to know everything that we needed and they were able to match that. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.
We were happy with this service. The staff were able to help us find someone to come into our home for my husbands care. We liked the care taker, but they had a hard time staying awake. There was a small issue and we did not need the service at the time. We would recommend this service, but would recommend that other families find out if there would be a language barrier from the care taker. Over all this is a nice service that is available to help find someone to come in into a residence
