Tender touch is not a good company to care for our veterans. I used them for about 5 years. The first couple years were great, then it slowly went downhill. I'll never use them or recommend them. Joan yells and screams at care givers. She writes ridiculous emails to them, yes I was read many by many different caregivers. She also treated me pretty badly a couple times. I hope they lose the VA contract this company does not deserve to have the privilege of taking care of us

Kayla is a lifesaver to us! She takes such good care of my Mom, she's like family. I don't know what we would have done without Kayla's excellent care! She goes above and beyond to see Mom is well taken care of. Thank you, Kayla!!!

Absolutely the worst experience ever‼️ My father is 83 a US Airforce veteran..he is blind, stage five renal failure and disabled. My mother is 87 and is his 24 hour caregiver. Too make a long story short he has been with this company 4 years. Usually has one caregiver. The last year he has had different caregivers, during November, December they have had 3 different caregivers to cover a six day week. One of the caregivers requested to work full-time with my father, my father who is blind felt safe with one caregiver. My mother tried talking to the mgmt team and requested the one caregiver they refused. After all this stress my 87 year old mother suffered a heartattack. The SAME day Joan Beams (director of Tender Touch) agreed for the caregiver to come full-time...with stipulations. Joan Beams told me IF this one caregiver called out sick or went on vacation they would not send out anyone else. Unbelievable!!! One week later we receive a call from the VA that "Tender Touch" has dropped my parents, unbe known to us!! The caregiver was crying my parents devastated. If this is how our Veterans are being treated you, Joan Beams and Tender Touch should be ashamed of yourself. I would not treat a dog this way. You are a heartless person who treated my parents with total disregard. Shame on you!!

Tender Touch Senior Services is amazing, the staff is second to none. They are very professional and treat my mother with the utmost respect. We consider them a family outside of our own, and I would recommend them to anyone in need of these services.
