I am beyond pleased with the nurturing care provided by Macklyn Home Care. I needed help for my dad - who has special circumstances. Krista and her staff handled his case without missing a beat. I felt like my dad was a priority to them and he was taken care of properly. I couldn’t be happier! I highly recommend Macklyn Home Care to anyone who is looking for compassionate care for an elder.

This company is terrific it's taking me nine months going through pure hell with other agencies before I finally found this company in Georgetown, DE. I've been dealing with this woman there and she is terrific totally awesome lady. She has sent me three off the chart aids. Now one of the aides got herself burned out because she was working 7 days a week so I lost her so she sent me another one and he is totally awesome but I'm going to lose him now because he's moving to another state so I've got my fingers crossed that she'll send me one just as good as the other two. But I put my faith and trust in this company and the woman behind the scenes

My mother's aide, Sarah Pensky is wonderful! She is reliable, dependable, caring, and has such a positive attitude. It's such a relief for me to know that my Mom is happy and enjoying herself while I am at work. Sarah helps me out so much by taking my Mom to doctor's appointments and helping her get to her swim classes at the YMCA. Sarah is a very conscientious and trustworthy person and my Mom and I really appreciate her companionship and services!

They did a fantastic job with my mother. I've tried three other local agencies (I live in Wilmington) and none came close to the service Macklyn provided. Macklyn was also the least expensive of all other companies as I price shopped around, and they were $5-8 an hour less on average. Plus they accept Medicaid, which we didn't know covered it, but Macklyn's staff helped us the entire way to guide her through the process of getting Medicaid to cover it.. so for my mom it ended up being completely free! I can't thank Macklyn Home Care enough, as they saved my families life and kept my mom where she wanted to be: home with her family.
