I have never posted a review on Yelp before, but given such positive experiences with both Greg and…read moreRobin and their wonderful agency, I feel the need to share these experiences with you. My mother is 89 years old and has a variety of health challenges as well as early onset dementia. Having dealt with several other agencies, both in NY and Florida with mixed results, I knew very early on that working with TLC Companions was going to be a much different experience. Their compassion and willingness to accommodate my mother's special needs greatly alleviated the usual stress of transitioning to a new agency. They quickly developed an effective schedule providing around the clock coverage and provided us aides who were not only capable, caring and compassionate, but who took immediate ownership of my mom's care and effectively dealt with her "occasional" difficult behavior. Additionally, TLC has been extremely reliable over the year since contracting with them, never failing to provide the required coverage - a highly unpleasant situation I sometimes experienced with other agencies. As an added bonus, talking to Greg, Robin or any of the office staff over the phone is always a joy and you walk away from these interactions with the understanding that these are truly nice people. If you are looking for a highly professional agency full of nice and caring individuals, I can not recommend TLC Companions highly enough. If not, I have a bunch of other agencies that I can recommend that I guarantee you will be less happy with!

Having to deal with 2 unprofessional owners that speak in circles, is even worse. MAKE SURE YOU READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THEIR CONTRACT. They charge a security deposit on top of a a weekly invoice. They claim it's because they are protecting their employees but that's not the case. The aides are not very good either. Knowing that my father was extremely unsteady one of the aids left him unattended in the shower with no seat and he fell.

She is definitely the greatest asset that Alvita Care can ever have.

I had an extremely traumatic experience with Alvita a few years ago and now that I've just received…read morea letter about patient information being compromised in a hacking, I'm compelled to warn others about trusting loved ones in the care of this organization. When my mom was returning home after a debilitating stroke, we decided to bite the bullet and go with Alvita - which was more expensive than others but long calls with their rep assured me my mom would be in amazing hands and I'd be able to rest easy and enjoy "being a daughter again." The *best* of the three aides they sent was notably cold upon meeting her, and one whom my mom told me would literally snap and curse loudly when lifting her in the hoyer and doing her duties, making her feel like a burden and making her feel on eggshells in her own home. After that, it became a full nightmare. On the morning of a doctor appointment, where the aide was asked to have mom ready to go for her wheelchair transport, the aide literally left in the middle of changing mom - without any reason, warning or notice. I thought she was taking out garbage but she genuinely just ghosted. As a result, mom missed an important appointment with her oncologist while laying there undressed and helpless. That wasn't even the worst. The final aide, who didn't last long due to her cat phobia (side note, when reaching out to Alvita, their solution: maybe just get rid of the cats), we learned had been putting dirty, soiled/food-filled pots and pans away in mom's cupboards. As a result, the aide who took over discovered maggots everywhere and we had to replace a ton of mom's cookware. (I would share a photo if it wasn't so gross.) The recklessness and negligence of this company and its hiring decisions is unreal. Thankfully my mom had me to advocate and look out for her through all of this, but it's terrifying to think about folks without a support system who are on their own in the hands of people like these and sharing their homes with them. I highly recommend directing your loved ones anywhere else. Or making sure you check in frequently on the welfare of anyone you already happen to have in Alvita's system.

My Mom has dementia and I requested two aides per week for night shift (one for 4 nights and one for 3 nights). Beth was overly concerned about overtime and refused to accommodate our request. Rather, she provided 4 different aides to cover 7 nights. Her concern is not about the patient, but about the cost of overtime. She provided non-English speaking aides who could not understand or communicate with my Mom. She did not bother explaining the care plan to the aides, but rather just checked the box to ensure someone with a pulse was sent over to the house. I regret signing up with this agency and have since moved on to the next. Beth was a horrible case coordinator who was less focused on the best interest of the patient and more focused on her agency's wallet.
