I found [name removed], the care coordinator, very understanding, kind and patient. She took much time to get to know my Mom and understand our particular issues. She selected our caregiver not from a list but rather from the perspective of the best possible match. She did very well. I found our caregiver, [name removed], absolutely wonderful. Her heart is certainly in the right place for the profession. She was kind, caring, patient, indefatigable. She simply wanted to help and make things nice for my Mom and her environment. What an angel. II found the scheduler (her name escapes me) patient and understanding with our myriad changes to schedule. So flexible. I would recommend the entire company highly and without reservation. They made a hard thing easy.
The caregiver from PeopleCare In-Home Care Services was great with my dad. They were always on time, took him to his doctor appointments and helped around the house as needed. The office staff were nice to work with when we were setting up the services he needed. I would recommend this service.
I can honestly say I would rate all categories a 5. It was a painful time but the caregivers were nothing but awesome from feedback to dedication to flexibility to trying to make my Mom comfortable. The pain I still carry from this time had nothing to do with the caregivers. Honestly, I wish I could have given more to the caregivers as well as the facility.
