I had an extremely traumatic experience with Alvita a few years ago and now that I've just received…read morea letter about patient information being compromised in a hacking, I'm compelled to warn others about trusting loved ones in the care of this organization. When my mom was returning home after a debilitating stroke, we decided to bite the bullet and go with Alvita - which was more expensive than others but long calls with their rep assured me my mom would be in amazing hands and I'd be able to rest easy and enjoy "being a daughter again." The *best* of the three aides they sent was notably cold upon meeting her, and one whom my mom told me would literally snap and curse loudly when lifting her in the hoyer and doing her duties, making her feel like a burden and making her feel on eggshells in her own home. After that, it became a full nightmare. On the morning of a doctor appointment, where the aide was asked to have mom ready to go for her wheelchair transport, the aide literally left in the middle of changing mom - without any reason, warning or notice. I thought she was taking out garbage but she genuinely just ghosted. As a result, mom missed an important appointment with her oncologist while laying there undressed and helpless. That wasn't even the worst. The final aide, who didn't last long due to her cat phobia (side note, when reaching out to Alvita, their solution: maybe just get rid of the cats), we learned had been putting dirty, soiled/food-filled pots and pans away in mom's cupboards. As a result, the aide who took over discovered maggots everywhere and we had to replace a ton of mom's cookware. (I would share a photo if it wasn't so gross.) The recklessness and negligence of this company and its hiring decisions is unreal. Thankfully my mom had me to advocate and look out for her through all of this, but it's terrifying to think about folks without a support system who are on their own in the hands of people like these and sharing their homes with them. I highly recommend directing your loved ones anywhere else. Or making sure you check in frequently on the welfare of anyone you already happen to have in Alvita's system.

Tamiesha is a BABY WHISPERER and hands down THE BEST SLEEP TRAINER. I have had several baby nurses…read moreand no one can compare - she knows babies better than anyone and gets even the most fussy baby to sleep! She sleep trained both of my sons and they have both slept through the night 12 hours from 12 weeks old!!! No regressions, they are just the happiest well rested babies after Tamiesha left!!! Working with Tamiesha is the best money you can ever spend for the health and wellness of your baby (and sanity of parents too)! I am constantly hearing from friends how poor their children sleep and what an effect it has on them mentally and physically, and I am so blessed I have never experience that because of Tamiesha. On a personal note, Tamiesha is a wonderful woman and mother who is a pleasure to be around. I am always happy to provide a person referral as well so if you contact Tamiesha you can ask to speak to Kelly.

Within a couple of days of Tamiesha's arrival, our son was sleeping through the night and was happier during the day due to the schedule of activities that Tamiesha designed for him (and us!). While we hired Tamiesha primarily for sleep training, the activities that she introduced were equally valuable for us and we saw an almost immediate response in our son (he was more alert and engaged when we played with him). As a new mom about to go back to work, I feel more confident and very well rested, all thanks to Tamiesha. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

I went to this place to have spider veins treated. The waiting room area was dingy and standing…read moreroom only. People were sleeping in chairs. The person who did the ultrasound was nice but I was there such a long time someone else was going home and apparently her job was to take out the trash because she kept coming in the room and doing so while I was having the procedure which was odd. I was told I have multiple "bad" veins in each leg and the doctor even told me he could visually see additional ones that didn't show on the ultrasound (that they needed to get an insurance authorization for). What I thought was just cosmetic suddenly turned into a medical problem! They gave me a "treatment plan" and after waiting an entire month for my first treatment appointment as they said it was the first available, again the waiting area was standing room only but I managed to get a seat. At one point I had to use the restroom but didn't want to get up as I knew I would lose my seat! After 1.5 hours waiting I got up and the bathroom was disgusting. No toilet paper and there were paper towel rolls and paper hand towels thrown all over the place and no hooks on the door to hang belongings. Asked the receptionist if she had an idea of how much longer and she said there were 5 people still ahead of me (and the whole time I was there I only saw a few go in). I left. The whole environment made me feel disrespected as a person and I was very hesitant to return after the initial appointment but wanted to give it a chance. The doctor seemed nice and maybe doing the best he can, but not nice enough to overlook ridiculous wait times and unsanitary conditions. Follow up: I went to NYU Langone as I was not going back to this vein clinic. The first step again was an ultrasound, but this time I was told there is absolutely nothing wrong with ANY of the veins in my legs! Add fraud to my complaints above and stay away!!!!

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
