This place is the most unprofessional place i have used. The first aid complained that it was too much work because she had MS. The second aid complained about her co-workers. Yet, sat and talked on her phone to her family, when she was supposed to help me with shower. (I am quadriplegic). The billing department statements did not itemize my debit, my payments or and balance. Very, very unprofessional.

We have used HCA for 3 1/2 years. They have always been professional and taken great care to see that our family member got the services they needed. They are very responsive and quick to seek solutions to problems that arise. The staff is incredibly friendly as well as compassionate. Thanks HCA!

My father, a Vet, received unsurpassed care from HCA for a year. His caregiver, Brandy has become "family". She provided what ever help he needed and did so with such a loving hand. Additionally-- she was 100% reliable (didn't miss a single day in over a year--always on time). Danielle, Jennifer, and Kurt in the office responded immediately to whatever question(s) I had. On behalf on my family-- THANK YOU so much.

My family had a terrible experience with HCA. The agency hires unprofessional people who “claim” to be experienced Caregivers. A certain Caregiver claimed to be a responsible, experienced person who has cared for people for well over 10 years. When she first showed up, she had my husband’s last name incorrect & said she had no idea he had Dementia. Apparently, the agency never matched the right Caretaker with my disabled husband who has served his country! This Caretaker only came out twice a week & lasted for only 2 weeks. Then she told us she was coming back on her scheduled day, but told the agency she was NEVER coming back to care for my husband. The only reason I found out the Caretaker was not coming back was via the agency’s call informing me of no one coming to our home. To add insult to injury, the person who contacted me never said we are sorry for this unfortunate situation or showed any compassion for my disabled veteran husband!!!

Absolutely themost unprofessional company I have dealt with. The people they hire are anyone literally off the street. A week ago my mother in law was cussed at by a worker and threatened. The girl didn't know I was at the door listening. When she was told to leave she flipped us off. Called the company only for them to laugh literally at my elderly mother in law like she was a joke. Horrible horrible people. Elderly and disabled mental abuse is not funny.
