My aging mother in York Maine needed in-home care as she got near the end of her life. My brother…read moreand I spent a lot of time evaluating possibilities, and chose Seacoast At Home Care in nearby Kittery, managed by Jan Scanlon. It was the right choice. The people from Seacoast At Home Care did a truly great job of taking care of our mother at the end of her life. We chose to get 24x7 care, which required a crew of 6 to 10 people. Every one of them was great. Mother liked them a lot. Other family members liked them a lot. They were very professional, very nurturing, and very good to her. If you need in-home care for any reason, especially for an elderly person who no longer can take care of themself, I highly recommend Jan Scanlon and her crew.

Make sure you get all the information about their charges because at various times of the day and…read morethe week things go up. Also try and get them to assign as few different people as possible which I think increases the possibility that you will get a higher and consistent level of care.

Very nice doctors and technicians. Updates and new equipment making the appointments very easy. The…read moreproblem is when you need glasses. I've had the same insurance for years and never had an issue until I let these people get involved. Now when I get a prescription it somehow doesn't line up with when I'm able to get new glasses. I ended up having to go months longer with an old prescription and just shrugged shoulders from the person in charge of ordering glasses. I had to switch doctors and wait an extra 6 months just to be able to get back on schedule with a different, not as good doctor- but at least I can see. Waited until I was no longer a patient to post.

However, Lauren (CRNA) from anesthesia made my experience terrifying. she was messy and attempted to insert an IV 4 times while leaving each failed catheter in my arm/hands. I had made it clear to everyone my fear of needles and my prior medical trauma experiences. she made a complete loud mess of the room by throwing equipment out of the way. she warned me AFTER poking me that she was poking me. i cried and hyperventilated the entire time. she was cold and rushed. this is unacceptable in patient care. i work in animal care and there are times to call it and try a new route based on your patients comfort. she is not fit for this position. i would like to hear back from someone about this or her superior.

I have used MyEyeDr in Portsmouth for exams and glasses for the last ten years. During my most…read morerecent exam I had the exam, purchased glasses and was charged 660 dollars with credits from my insurance. Approximately three months later I was charged another 142 dollars but not told why. I drove to the store to ask for some justification of the additional charges and was told the manager would review it the following week and be in touch. I reached out again and was finally provided a receipt via email showing the 660 around due but again no justification for the additional charge. I responded to the email asking again and they said the manager would get back to me. Needless to say they never contacted me again and it's just not worth my time pursuing it further. I will not return and will find a practice that is transparent in their pricing.

The first occasion was blood in my infants stool, and when I called the nurse literally couldn't have cared less. Her response for my call to them was to ask me "What I expected them to do", those were her words verbatim. She honestly made me feel like a crazy first time mom, so I let it go and started to not have as much dairy as i was having and hoped it helped. He is still having GI issues. Second experience is multiple instances regarding my poor kids skin on his neck that is still after a month and a half raw and oozing at times. I saw Dr. hyer a month and a half ago who has generally been great during appointments. She said it was fungal and to pick up a tube of an anti-fungal from the aisle at a pharmacy. I thought it was a little strange instead of a prescription, but i figured id try. It helped a little at first, but it kept getting worse again. I called the office twice about this after and they would not let me come in for it.. the same nurse that said the comment about his stool said his neck was not a good enough reason to be seen, to do tummy time so it would get air and keep the area dry. My kid is not teething and really doesn't drool. I've literally tried everything..he needs to be treated. I honestly feel like I'm neglecting my child at this point following their advice for treatment.. I see friends who have had similar skin issues with their children and they said they got a script and it cleared it up quickly and they moved on with their lives. So today he had an appointment to get shots.. I pep myself up before I go telling myself I'm going to put my foot down and advocate for him, and not leave until we have something for his poor neck. I go and the nurse said its just a shot appointment and ill have to make a separate appointment for his neck to be seen. How ironic - its the same nurse who said his neck wasn't a good enough reason to be seen and wouldn't let me make an appointment for it, and who also dismissed my worries about blood being in his stool. I mentioned I have literally tried to make an appointment for his neck and couldn't get past the nurse and that this has been going on for over a month- they did not care. I signed paperwork today have my sons records released. They didn't want to make the situation better, they did not care my sons neck is a mess. I don't know if the nurses aren't getting the messages to the doctor or if its the whole staff there that are being neglectful. But I'm pretty disgusted. I"m not special and don't need specialized care. I feel like this is standard stuff and should have been treated a long time ago. My child is still uncomfortable and luckily I have an appointment with another provider coming up.

I would definitely not recommend this company. The workers, while very nice, were clearly not…read moretrained. I came home to find clothes dumped on the floor, dishes in the sink, a life alert bracelet not put back on, even the cat locked in the porch, among other things. The home office never gave the workers my relatively brief list of chores which meant that I needed to spend time (at my expense) going over the list. The office was inconsistent in contacting me about what worker was coming. Last week the worker was late and when I called to inquire, they said that they had switched workers and this one would be 15 minutes late. She never apologized, instead insisting - 3 times - that they had called, which they had not. Overall there seems to be a lack of concern and competence, and I did not feel confident leaving my 98 year old mother in their hands. The work is too important to have such a cavalier and unprofessional approach especially at $40/hour.
