Coco Cares is an experienced, independent, home healthcare provider serving a wide area around Manhattan, Topeka, and other Kansas cities. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Owner Coco (Heather) Williams and her employees offer every service needed for excellent in-home care at any level. I came to Topeka from California for only 2 weeks to care for my brother, whose ongoing cancer treatment has left him extremely frail, weak, and unable to care for himself. I initially called Coco just for transportation to his upcoming chemo infusions, but I quickly understood we needed her for so much more, both before and after I left for home. She efficiently gets him to his medical appointments in a private car, stays with him as necessary for procedures, and helps confer with his medical team. In addition, she takes him home, makes him comfortable in the lift chair where he spends all his time, gives him his meds 4 times a day, does the laundry, cleans the kitchen, does other light house-keeping, takes messages, encourages him to eat and drink at regular intervals, takes care of toileting, bathing, dressing, and other needs, and basically does whatever is necessary. Not only does she supply the essentials, but she brings a wonderful, caring attitude to her work. She loves people, and it shows. Coco DOES care! My brother brightens up whenever she walks in the door, and they carry on pleasant conversations about their respective lives. She also supported me insofar I had been acting as caregiver and organizer of his bills and so on. When I flew home, I was confident he was in the best, most competent hands. I have to add that my brother is a difficult old man of 70 even before the cancer, and his memory and judgment have been adversely affected by "chemo brain." As a result, he regarded most of my own attempts to help with anger, resistance, and suspicion. Coco, in contrast, has the magic touch with him! She is such a lovely person and somehow understands him in a way I do not. Gaining his cooperation greatly helps him to possible recovery. My brother didn't qualify for Medicare payment, and he isn't yet ready for hospice. Private home care service was our only alternative, and Coco honestly turned out to be the ideal provider! It's never inexpensive to have people come in for care, but Coco's charges seem less than what I was told by larger, more bureaucratic providers. She's quite reasonable, in fact. She comes on whatever schedule we need, including very-early-morning arrival for toileting, and returns later in the day for meds and meals. Finding Coco Cares is the best thing that could have happened for us, and I highly recommend her to others, whatever the level of care needed. FIVE (TEN!) STARS!! read more
