I can’t say enough about this much needed service. No matter what time of day or night or circumstance - I always received exemplary service. The caregivers do just that - care. Big thank you to Courtney and Darlene for their calm and kind handling of every situation I threw at them. My mom has a new situation and all her caregivers have reached out to her expressing their care for her and how happy they were to be able to help her. There are some companies that go the extra mile and this is certainly one of them. Sue Vacek

I’d like to leave my experience which is actually a testimony. 6 months ago my father was in asstd living and needed more care.My family and I were introduced to Darlene..her care and kindness were present in every conversation from day 1.i called 6am,10 pm never mattered ..she answered EVERY time!with compassion every call..than I decided to move my dad home. The girls on her team were angels… I had many concerns having caregivers in and out of my home.. none of which were ever a problem ..her team loved from their hearts..my family and I could have never kept my dad home without Darlene and her girls..

I can't recommend Winsted Home Care Service highly enough. I dreaded trying to find home care for my father when I was told he needed extra assistance, but was given their name. Not knowing what I would encounter on the other end of the phone when I called, to my relief Darlene got right on the job and had the beginnings of a schedule by the end of the day. And not only did she cover the hours my father needed right away, every single person who worked with my father was not only adequate but excellent. The women who worked with my father without exception were communicative, flexible and cared about making his life better on a daily basis. They called me to troubleshoot, asked questions, and let me know how my father was doing. I so appreciated the professionalism of Winsted and their staff while waiting for my father to be transferred to a nursing home. The help and peace of mind the whole operation provided was invaluable. Thank you Winsted.

Winsted Nursing Care helped care for my Mom when she was recovering from Hip Surgery. Despite being at Assisted Living she need extra attention that Winsted Nursing Care provided. I work in health care myself and I know how challenging and rewarding this work can be, especially when dealing with a senior with physical limitations and mild cognitive impairment. The agency responded very promptly to our request for services and had help for mom available within 24 hours of our request. The consistency of support and responsiveness of the office staff was excellent. The quality, personality and helpfulness of each caregiver was special. Many really felt like friends and family members for us. We appreciated their special efforts from taking mom out for pizza to taking mom to appointments to helping mom pick out a dressy outfit for Easter brunch. Thank you all and much appreciated.

Compassionate and caring. They were available immediately when my father had his stroke and was released from the hospital. They provided a wonderful live in aide and visiting nurses to check up on his condition a daily basis or as needed. My father could be difficult or stubborn at times and they seem to be ease his tensions and make him comfortable where he was actually happy and smiling. I can not Thank Winsted Nursing Services enough for everything they did for my father. Knowing his last years and days of his life were spent in comfort and he was not alone. I highly recommend this business for all your home health needs, they are wonderful.
