You can imagine after a major stoke - the needs of my mother being many! However, Virginia Home Care Services met the challenge with several aids conducive to my mother's personality and new life changes. This was extremely important!

But then I found Independent You. Independent You has been so terrific with finding the right carers, responding quickly to any problems, and working with me while I'm on the other side of the country, that I can't imagine how their service could be any better. From the first meeting and establishment of the care plan for my father, I knew I was in capable, professional hands, and so their services have proved so far. Dad has been thriving under their care, and I have especially appreciated their efforts to make sure we have the same set of rotating carers, which I know has been difficult during Covid times. Having Independent You's assistance for my parents has made it easier for me to sleep at night - at last!

She asked me to call her the next morning. This was on a Monday and my procedure was scheduled for Thursday. I did call her the following morning and she said she would call me later in the day She did not call me even though she knew I wanted to schedule a time on Wednesday for the caretaker to make a home visit and meet my son so I would not have to leave him in the care of a stranger By 630 am Wednesday morning I was 24 hours away from my scheduled procedure and emailed the support coordinator that I could no.longet longer wait to be contacted by Assured and had made other arrangements. At 3:25 pm that day I was contacted by Assured from the parking lot of my building for a home visit that had never been scheduled and that I was no longer available for. The woman from the agency raised her voice to me and was argumentative but still expected to be let into my home. It was a traumatic experience for me just 24 hours before my procedure and a heartless way to be treated. I had to give this review a star in order for it to be posted but what they really deserve is a giant X.

Adult Companion Care (ACC) provided seamless professional, reliable, loving, and personal home care…read moreservices for our family at a time when we needed support. Within one hour of a late night online request for help (for our 92 year old father) from various agencies, a personal response (rather than computer generated) came in from Jim Lindsey (President/CEO) who suggested connecting by the phone the following day; that conversation the next day was the second huge encouragement for us as we sensed genuine interest, empathy, concern and understanding of our situation. He set up an initial home visit assessment/evaluation, and this turned out to be a wonderful experience because there was no sense of feeling rushed or pressed. In addition, everything was clear and transparent. Afterwards, we had some weeks before our need for in-home care, but we could call ACC at any point before services to have additional questions answered or to update needs or changes. From speaking to various team members, it was clear that this company worked as a respectful and well-coordinated "family". Our close-knit family is very involved in the care of our 92-year-old father, who has a good number of chronic conditions and medical/health issues that need to be understood in order to care for him properly. Complete and careful body care/hygiene, good nutrition and prevention of illness or other conditions were important for us in our short-term need for services, but much more of our concern was our father's mental health and sense of feeling secure and understood by someone outside of the home. Our mother, 88, who did not herself need physical services, nonetheless, needed someone who could reassure her and who would be sensitive emotionally to both of them, in addition to doing things she could not do for my father that required special skills. From the first time we met Fatmata, the certified nursing assistant assigned by ACC, we were immediately impressed and reassured. She was a perfect fit for us, and my mother shared that it was like having one of her daughters around. We are four sisters and one brother who provide care for our parents. In other words, the caregiver needed to fill in for over a week and take care of a man who was under the observation and love of many family members. In ACC's complimentary hour of orientation/training, the daughter, who is a nurse, was impressed by Fatmata's manner as she was exceptionally intuitive, observant, and attentive with a high level of sensitivity and compassion. Although there was some initial adjustment for my father because he was missing his regular daily caregivers, after a couple of days, he was genuinely thanking Fatmata for her help. We are deeply grateful for Adult Companion Care and their dedication, personal care, and willingness to work with us to find the best support for our father so that he could remain comfortable and safe at home. With heartfelt thanks, the Duerbecks, Macks, Greenes, Olsens, and Swailes.

The schedulers are incredibly patient, kind, and HONEST about what they can and can't do, which was such a big change. They also have some truly world class caregivers. There were some bad ones too, but in the end there were two people (Queen and Libby) who were simply incredible and were such a blessing to have caring for Mom. They have a relatively small pool of staff who can do lifting / transferring, but the ones they have are mostly good. They definitely tried to match our needs with their people, and as we provided feedback the matches got much better. They didn't have enough staff to provide full 24/7 care but worked with me as I filled the gaps with private folks. When they saw a snowstorm coming they would plan to have someone stay there for 2-3 days to prevent caregivers from not showing up due to bad road conditions. I have to subtract one star just for some of the bad caregiver experiences, and because billing turned out to be a bigger hassle with them than with other companies, but if I had to recommend a home care company in the DC area to someone else, it would without question be this one.
