There is no one in the state of Washington employed in the HR department. Instead HR is supposed to be handled by the owners Daughter who lives in Massachusetts. Unfortunately, when I tried to submit a simple grievance about poor communication things immediately became far from professional. In two days time I received a seven paragraph barely related rant from Darcie's mother (no communication from the supposed head of HR mind you) and my hours were changed over night from 24 the next week to zero. When I insinuated that it seemed like my hours were cut in retaliation to my complaint (which isn't legal), they immediately added two of my shifts back, which only makes me more confident that this was done purposely. Darcie reached out but refused to meet with me herself via phone and asked me instead to meet with her Dad. Why wasn't HR handling this HR issue? Why was I being placed in an exceedingly uncomfortable position when I simply pointed out that management continuously provided employees with completely separate procedural instructions? At this point the head of HR had failed twice to solve an exceedingly simple issue, then she made no effort to arrange this meeting or the phone meeting I had requested. At this point the work environment had become at best uncomfortable and at worst actively hostile. Some of HRs most basic functions are to handle employee grievances, and to address communication issues. Unfortunately this company has no functional HR department, simply a figure head in a different state and time zone who can't be bothered to perform even the most basic functions such as following up with employee grievances and scheduling meetings. This paired with requests not to inform clients on our familiarity with their equipment was more than unsettling. On top of that I arrived twice to clients that had never been informed I was scheduled to arrive. In my time here, four separate clients and families complained about the poor communication from the office and the unpredictable and sometimes unreliable last minute schedules. I watched five members of the staff decide to leave this company in the less than six months I spent here, and I made at least six, as yet another testament to the blatant disfunction in the management here. As someone who was previously employed by this company, I urge you to take your business elsewhere. Attached is a text message asking NOT to inform the client that the caregiver is unfamiliar with the clients Hoyer lift; something I see as potentially very dangerous and as a shinning example of this companies shady ethical standards. I have a breadth of physical evidence to substantiate each claim I have made in this review, and only hope that it forces this company to hold themselves to a higher ethical standard in the future.

Over most of the last two years we have retained a morning and evening caregiver to support hygiene and dressing/undressing and attendance at assisted living activities and meals. Our caregivers have been skilled and kind...a combination that is hard to find and retain over many months. In addition, Randy and Debi Kyle have been so helpful in offering perspective and advice as we dealt with increased frailty, dementia and family questions. They have made all the difference as we navigated the continually changing landscape of services and personal changes as my parents are aging. As our family life changes, we may well need their services again and it will be so good to know that their help is available.

I spent a week looking over nursing homes in the Portland/Vancouver area while my father was in the hospital. I had to replace my fathers assisted living home with a new home with a much higher level of specialty care. Which meant I needed a nursing home. I was horrified with what I found......until I found Sharmel. They have an excellent staff, beautiful homes with a care givers to resident ratio you can't beat. The founders, Blake and Cameron are exceptional. I could go on and on but Sharmel has given my father's last two months of his live, love, care hope and happiness. My father fell in love with his care givers and he loved his last home at Sharmel. My name is Dean......thank you so much to Adrian, Blake, Cameron and the rest of the staff for everything in caring for my father Roy.

Their expertise in the industry shined as they only showed us places that could meet his care needs (which were complicated). They helped us not only navigate the process of finding a place for him but also helped with navigating the hospital system. They have strong knowledge of the owners of the facilities and found the right fit for my Dad so he could have a good quality of life. They truly cared a lot about helping him find the right fit. I HIGHLY recommend Family Values to entrust that your loved one finds the right place for their care.

Once we came up to move my aunt in Raisa helped with the entire process. From recommending movers and hotels for us to stay nearby while in town. She even checked in on my aunt once we flew back home which made me feel at ease knowing she had someone in town to check on her. Thank you for helping with the move and transition!

I knew my parents had the best care we could give them. From bathing to eating to doctor's appointments, they handled it. We also didn't have to worry about any type of abuse which is a huge concern in this industry. I highly recommend Cynthia and the entire team, at Circle of Care.

Circle of Care provided a caretaker for approximately eight hours a week to provide relief for the full time caretaker hired through different agency. For reasons beyond anyone's control, the relief caretaker wasn't able to sustain her commitment. Circle of Care was determined and aggressive in finding a replacement to avoid any lapse in care. Most importantly, Cynthia, the CEO at Circle of Care, demonstrated kindness, empathy, and dedication. She was always accessible and responsive to questions or concerns. Shannon, as the COO, clearly explained administrative details, which included the all-important question of fees, etc. My mother passed away after five months of in-home care, and while I don't anticipate needing similar service anytime soon, I would definitely recommend Circle of Care to others.

By informing me when they did, I was unable to find anyone else on such short notice and had to cancel potentially life saving treatments. Note: if you read the great reviews on other sites, you'll see that many are written by employees saying what a great place it is to work. Not actual consumers of their service.
