Our experience with HONOR WAS POSITIVE. We could trust them to provide excellent care of our loved one, were communicative. Each day our caregiver provided a note re care given that day. Caregivers were always on time. They were flexible and open to focusing on current needs of our loved one. We would highly recommend them.

We have had a wonderful experience with my mom's caregiver, Shanae. She is hard working, attentive, thoughtful, warm, responsive, and so much more. My mom especially likes Shanae's cooking. Shanae has also been very adaptive to the changing circumstances in my mom's care, which is greatly appreciated.
