Home Care Assistance provided us expert post-surgery care. The caregiver could not have been nicer, more helpful or more pleasant. And the company rep was very efficient and helpful in lining up the right person. We would hire them again if we need care!

The staff is wonderful. Patient, attentive, and caring. They anticipate my father's needs and are focused on insuring his comfort. They're a huge relief to me and my siblings, knowing the high level of service that they provide. I can't recommend them highly enough. And, staff management is thoughtful and responsive to my questions or concerns.

Home Care provided caregivers for two knee replacement surgeries. They took very good care of my wife and myself while I was healing.<br>I wouldn’t hesitate to use Home Care again and I am highly recommending their care.

It was a great experience working with Nancy, Skip, and Margalit for my father's care. They are all extremely knowledge, empathetic and patient with their patients and patient's family. They always made themselves available and were willing to bend over backwards to make sure my father got the care and attention he needed. More importantly, If there was ever a challenge or a miscommunication with the caregivers, they took responsibility for it and addressed it.
