My family used AHC when my mom needed additional help when she was in assisted living. Her caregivers were professional, respectful, caring and went beyond what we asked them to do. They also communicated with us when required. We were very satisfied with their service and would recommen them to other families.

I would recommend this company. Alternative Home Care company provides jobs for those who are in need, which means you need to be good at what you are doing. They appreciate and respect their co-workers. The company maintains its level of competency and professionalism. A common but positive challenge, I should say, for its employees.

Alternative Home Care is a great company. I’ve been working with them as a caregiver for almost 9 years and they’ve been consistent in providing support throughout my career. The management team is always approachable and are willing to listen to concerns. They offer flexible schedules and competitive pay, which beneficial for a working mom like me. I am proud to be a part of such a compassionate company like this. I hope they continue to flourish and help more people in many ways they have helped me and others.

My mother, who recently passed at (almost) age 100, required 24-hour care in her home for the last four years of her life. In the last 2+ years, she was in the capable hands of the wonderful people at Alternative Home Care. From my initial conversations with their sales and service manager, I felt I'd found an option for my mother's care that I could trust. My positive experience with a number of caregivers confirmed my initial confidence. The staff was extremely responsive when the inevitable challenges would arise and, as my mother's needs changed, AHC adapted well. Overall, I highly recommend you try this company whether you need full-time live-in care or just a few hours a week. You won't be disappointed.
