My wife died four months ago, after a long five year decline with Parkinson's disease and other…read moreserious health issues. As her full-time caregiver, I came to understand the meaning of the long, slow goodbye. Fortunately, she was in Amedisys home hospice care for the last four months of her life. They were caring, knowledgeable and practical in their care for her and for me. They provided a hospital bed, an oxygen tank and other medical equipment. Nurses visited as needed, daily at first, three days a week as her condition stabilized and then daily again as the end approached. They supplied medicine to calm her and to relieve her pain and instructed me on how and when to use it. I used the 24/7 phone number many times to make requests or to get information. Throughout, an aide came daily to give her a bath, which she loved as it made her feel much better. I also found the visits by the social worker and the chaplain to be helpful as well. She died peacefully at home with her family around her, as was my goal, and not by herself in some institution. Those last four months were very trying for me as well, and I give Amedysis nurses and staff much credit for helping me through it. I give Amedisys the highest possible rating, for their caring, professionalism and hard work.

Myself and our family recently needed assistance with care for my Grandfather in his final days. It…read morewas not only a very rough time for all of us, but unimaginably so for my Grandmother who was married to my Grandfather for 66+ years and by his bedside every moment for the past 2 years he was sick. My Grandmother is 87 and is one of the most amazing caretakers in the world, she always puts others her needs before herself and has dedicated her life to caring for her family. She was very worried when she found out that she needed help at home caring for my Grandfather as she had heard so many terrible stories about home care aids from friends and other family members. When the decision was made to use visiting angels and have them come to help her she was worried yet beyond impressed once she met the aides that came to help out and keep her company. All of them took such care of my Grandfather as though he was part of their family. They were extremely professional, caring, humble, helpful, dedicated, empathetic, very patient, kind, and truly cared. My Grandmother felt like they were part of the family and trusted them wholeheartedly. During this very difficult time they were there providing support and laughter to our entire family even at the end. They went above and beyond, were wonderful company and some of the most inspiring and compassionate people I have ever met. A very special thank you to Elaine and Richard, you are both such amazing people and we truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Sincerely, Tintle Family

My uncle in Manhattan is getting older and needed some help. He was resistant and not really in the…read moreright frame of mind to look for someone. I'm in Maryland but he doesn't have any family nearby so I am the next best thing. I didn't know how to go about looking for someone. I called a couple of home care agencies but they were expensive and was not sure what we were getting for $25 to $27 an hour. When i looked online there were many different ways to go and I was a bit overwhelmed. So I went on Yelp which i periodically due for restaurants and such. I was surprised that LeanOnWe jumped at me. The reviews were strong and they were varied. At first I didn't realize that they were any different than the home care agencies. Then i realized that they weren't an agency but just a way for me to connect with someone that my uncle would end up hiring. Very clever. Since my uncle would be hiring the caregivers, it was meaningfully less expensive but would give us everything we were looking for. So I called up and told LeanOnWe what my uncle was dealing with, where he lives, and what he was looking for. They sent bios of 5 people who fit the bill, my uncle and i spoke to two of them on the phone and decided to hire one of them. It worked out great. What a creative way for us to manage this process. We would have been stuck otherwise. So far the woman we chose has been working for about three weeks and all is working well. It is nice knowing that if she can't make it we can always go back to LeanOnWe and find someone else. A happy customer

Unfortunately -I must give them a very negative review. I…read morehave asked them numerous times to assist me in replacing a live-in caregiver who has created a very toxic environment for us. The caregiver constantly manipulates the family against each other in order to get his way. Every time I try to replace him the agency interferes and ignores my requests even though I am the one hired them and I am the one who pays the caregiver who I dislike immensely. I should not have to be a situation where I am forced to keep a caregiver that I dislike. They don't return my phone calls and they ignore my requests to get a different caregiver. Instead of working with me to replace this caregiver who has created an extremely toxic environment, the agency will go behind my back and reach out to another family member who has very little to do with the caregiving, is easily manipulated and it results in arguments about replacing the caregiver. I don't want a caregiver who is only in it for the money and who does not have patients wellbeing in mind. I constantly have to step in and make sure the patient is being cared for. I should be allowed to replace a caregiver that I have no trust in. The caregiver should not be in charge and the agency should not be in charge. Thay have made a difficult situation even more difficult by pitting family members against each other. I dislike them immensely. Be careful
