This company is very misleading and not up front about billing and won’t return phone calls. I strongly suggest you find another company.l as you will pay for this in the long run.

When my Mother was struggling with dementia and needed extra care, I had to rely on an agency to assist us with that care because we live 900 miles away. One of the agencies we turned to for help was Friends-in-Home. Dawn Wallace and the amazing team at Friends-in-Home went well beyond what I could have hoped for and expected. The sensitivity and genuine caring that was given to my Mother was truly remarkable. We are forever grateful to them for getting us through a very difficult time.
