ComForcare Home Care in Orinda is a FANTASTIC home care agency to work with without a doubt! From day one Frankie McCalla and her staff have been FRIENDLY yet PROFESSIONAL, CARING, HARD WORKING, PUNCTUAL and RESPONSIBLE. I initially was referred to them by a Hospice Volunteer who was using them as well for part-time help with her 92 year old mother. She was very pleased with the caregiver she found at ComForcare and so I contacted them as well. Both my parents are quite elderly and presumably at the end stage of their lives. We had previously tried several other agencies caregivers, and one private hire and none of them could handle the work we needed done for my parents. My mother has late stage dementia, and my father is quite ill so it is not easy work at all to be sure. ComForcare on the other hand has provided us with caregivers that not only can do the job safely and professionally but they also GO ABOVE AND BEYOND helping with emergencies, keeping in contact with me, developing significant relationships with my parents etc. Also for my family one of the crucial needs was CONSISTENCY of the caregivers because I, as one of the daughters, live out of state but retired to help my parents. What that means is each month I am the primary caregiver but for only part of the month so when we hire from ComForcare the caregivers are not getting consistent full time hours each week, they are having to adapt to my ever changing schedule. Most agencies I think would just say because of the inconsistency of my schedule that the caregivers would change week to week but Frankie has made a concerted effort and succeeded at giving us a steady team of caregivers 99% of the time. This makes such a difference to my parents, and to my peace of mind! Keep up the great work Comforcare. We so appreciate it!!! And a shout out and big thank you to Char, Marquita, and most especially Kim as well! read more
