Alternative nursing services is a really great caregiving company, I would recommend this company to any person looking for home health care services. They are very helpful with helping their caregivers get their HCA. They are extremely helpful when clients/caregivers have questions! I enjoy working at this company😊

This company is very understanding, and caring for their clients. They make sure that their client always has a caregiver and not going without care. They do home visits to make sure that the clients needs are being met or asking them how they can improve. It’s clients first which I really like.

From what I’ve seen I feel like the office needs organization. If you call out hours in advance you call the on call number but nobody answers…so you have to wait until the office opens at 9 to let them know your reason to not make it to the shift. (I’m very organized with my clients so I hate having to wait) When you do call for questions they almost seemed annoyed? They don’t sound pleasant on the phone. And with the app used to track your schedule, if it says you have a missed check in like that person said below in the review you have to drive all the way to the office to fill out the form. Why not get an updated system where you can see your schedule, request pto, call out with available caregivers that could cover, most caregiving company’s have this set up. Everything’s should be via online. And when it comes to getting HcA certified, that should be something the company pays for since it’s required not the employee in my personal opinion. You HAVE to keep track of your hours yourself, do not depend on their app to do it for you.

Washington asks us to share this statement and gather a short intake first

Read the statement, add what you can below (a few words each, all optional), and Send signs it with the name you entered.

Washington disclosure statement, dated October 23, 2026, under the Elder and Vulnerable Adult Referral Agency Act (RCW 18.330).

(a) Agency: MyLivingChoice LLC (MyLivingChoice.com), 8705 N. Cypress Ct, Kansas City, MO 64156, (816) 226-7772.

(b) Client: the person sending this request.

(c) Fees: you pay us nothing. If you hire an agency we introduced you to, or whether or not you do, that agency pays us a flat fee for the introduction, billed to the agency monthly. If you ask, we will tell you the amount of the fee for any agency we refer you to.

(d) Services: MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps families find senior living and care at home. We gather a short intake about the care needed, suggest agencies that appear able to meet those needs, and introduce you to the ones you choose. For you specifically, we will introduce you to ANS and share with it your name, contact details and the care needs you described, nothing more.

(e) We will never ask you to waive any claim for loss of personal property or injury, or any right you have under state or federal law.

(f) We work with both you and the agency in the same transaction: the agency pays us, and we are introducing you to it. To obtain or share confidential health care information about the person who needs care we need your authorization, which you give for the agencies named above by acknowledging this statement.

(g) Tours: we do not tour agencies as a matter of course. Our information comes from the agency itself, its state licence record and public sources. We have not toured ANS.

(h) You may stop using our service, or switch to another referral agency, at any time and for any reason, with no penalty and no cancellation fee.

(i) Refunds: because you pay us nothing, there is nothing to refund to you. If a community pays us a fee for your placement and the resident dies, is hospitalized or moves to another setting for more appropriate care within the first thirty days after admission, we refund the community a prorated share of the fee for the days not used, as RCW 18.330.090 requires.

(j) Complaints about a referral agency may be filed with the Washington State Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division (Consumer Resource Center), 800 5th Ave, Suite 2000, Seattle, WA 98104-3188, 1-800-551-4636 in Washington, 1-206-464-6684 from outside the state, https://www.atg.wa.gov/file-complaint.

About the care that is needed (optional, a few words each)

We share with the agencies you chose only your name, contact details and care needs; the rest stays with us. Leave blank what you do not know; we can fill it in with you later.

By submitting, you're okay with us and ANS reaching out by phone, email or text.Always free for families. You choose which agencies hear from you, and we never rank agencies by what they pay us. An agency we introduce you to pays us a flat fee for the introduction, whether or not you hire them, never you. Those agreements are our only tie to the agencies we list. If an agency stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses, we stop listing it as an option. How we work · FAQ
