According to their website, "Hopeton Care is a reliable 24/7 NY home care agency specialized in providing home health aide, personal care aide, nursing, and rehabilitative services." Unfortunately, I have found them to be unreliable, and not available 24/7 to address concerns. My elderly aunt--who is in a wheelchair and cannot function without assistance around the clock-- is a client of this agency. Today, they are closed. They did not inform the aide who is with my aunt today that they would be closed. She needs someone to replace her tomorrow, but no one is available to speak with her about this. They have no answering service. She is not given the cell phone number of any supervisor. We have been calling the office number all day, leaving messages on the supervisor's voicemail, but there is no outgoing message indicating when or if someone will be able to respond. This may not seem like such a big deal, but if you have ever been in a situation of caring for an elderly and/or disabled family member who needs around-the-clock assistance, I think you can see where a home care agency really needs to be available to address concerns around that clock, or at the very least can figure out how to change their friggin' voicemail message to reassure people who rely and depend on them that their concerns will be addressed promptly. I find this completely unacceptable, and have lost all confidence in the agency. read more
