We live over an hour away, near Boston, and were looking for loving, caring in-home care for my parents in Marblehead. I received a referral to Care by the Coast from a friend a few months ago, and my family has been so happy that we chose this company! At first I thought the process of choosing and navigating through the various in-home care options, assisted living, etc. was overwhelming. The prices were astounding (in the thousands per month for assisted living in the Boston area!), and my parents had no interest in moving to an assisted living place, so my family chose the option of in-home care for them. From the very first time I called Elizabeth, I felt we made the right choice to use this company -- Elizabeth took the time to explain the various services that this company would provide, and really put my mind at ease. Every step of the way, from evaluating my folks' care needs, to choosing the right person to assist them (the amazing Tara!), I have received constant communication, and I feel like Elizabeth and Tara are part of our family! My folks feel very comfortable with Elizabeth coming weekly to help set up the scheduled medications for Dad, and they absolutely adore Tara. I have peace of mind knowing that I can go to work every day, not worry about them, and know that they're safe doing the things they love, and maintaining their daily routine which is so important to them. And on a few occasions, when my parents couldn't reach the doctor due to vacation, etc. Elizabeth stopped by and checked on them. It's like having a kind neighbor next door to check on them! She also connected us to a local doctor who makes house calls! This is unheard of in Boston!
My family is so pleased with this service, knowing that someone is in the area that is looking out for their well-being, and will always provide loving, caring assistance. I also appreciate that they keep a "journal" so when we visit their home, I am provided feedback on each time Tara or Elizabeth comes over to their home. It is very helpful and informative.
Tara has been very wonderful , providing light cleaning, house-keeping, and companionship, and we are so grateful that Elizabeth has assigned her to my parents!
We highly recommend Care by the Coast! read more
