Our family lost our mother in March of 2019. She was an amazing woman who never let anything rise…read moreabove her top priority of caring for her family, especially my father, Bill. My father is a disabled veteran with crippling arthritis and knee problems and a multitude of health issues and needs. He is a diabetic that requires insulin, has lymphedema that requires daily treatments, needs medications four times per day and after a two serious falls, required someone to be with him while he transferred from chair to walker, walker to bed, etc. My father was from a generation where his wife cooked, cleaned, raised us at home, gave us baths at night, did the laundry, went shopping and had dinner on the table when he got home from work. As we grew up and moved on, my father grew older and his world became smaller as his ailments and medical needs became his focus. My mother took care of him with tireless effort, literally, up to the moment that she died. When she passed, he was lost. With our family spread across the globe (literally) and having families of our own, caring for my father was an impossibility given the degree of care that he requires. We were referred to Visiting Angels who came to meet and evaluate my father and had him set up with care givers within a week. It was an adjustment for my father going from a doting wife who cared for his every emotional and physical need to have caregivers who he did not know come to his home to cook and care for him, but he adjusted and accepted that this was his new reality. We watched this unfold and took great comfort in knowing he was receiving the care that he needed. There were some bumps along the way, which I sheepishly have to admit were caused mostly by my father's attempts trying to alter a situation to get his way instead of what was safe and necessary. These situations were mitigated with great communication between my family, my dad and from Visiting Angels and resolved. Over the last year, his mobility has declined. He went from requiring 12 hours a day of care to 24 hour care after falling in his bedroom at night while alone. He injured his shoulder, but Visiting Angels was even able to provide a care giver for several hours at night during the week while he was in his rehab center for companionship. When we realized we needed 24 hour care, Visiting Angels amazed us with their ability to provide a live-in care giver. This allowed my father to fall into a daily routine with the same person (something extremely important to him). He found it very comforting to get to know someone who also got to know him. Unfortunately this scenario ended yesterday as my father, regrettably, has reached the point that he requires multiple people to transfer him which would put any single caregiver at risk so he has to be placed in a nursing home. We had to say goodbye to Kristin, his most recent and utterly amazing live-in care giver. She was sweet, caring, a wonderful cook and dedicated and was very much part of the family. If it weren't for Visiting Angels, my father would have probably ended up in a nursing home or an extended care facility immediately after his wife's death which would have been devastating as he would have had to say goodbye to her and to the life he had always known at home all at once. However, Visiting Angels provided the means for him to stay at home, provide amazing care which allowed him to continue his life as normally as possible. No one could ever replace my mom, but Visiting Angels gave us all peace of mind knowing they were providing the care we wanted to be able to provide my father on our own, but couldn't. Visiting Angels gave my father the ability to carry on with his life for over a a year in the comfort of his home. I highly recommend them.

If I could give negative stars to this organization I would. The administrative staff is completely…read moreunprofessional & inappropriate. The CEO uses the word "retard" in every sentence, no exaggeration. The office is a house & their education center is a freezing cold, unfinished basement. I took a CNA class that I paid 3,000 dollars for with them & it was the worst experience I've ever had in my life. The teacher of this class took at least an hour every night to rant and rave like a crazy person about completely unrelated topics, usually her political beliefs. She called students fat, made paying students cry, did not have any knowledge about the state exam which was the entire purpose of the class, and did not teach us anything. We came to a very open consensus as a class that we learned absolutely nothing and completely wasted our time. The teacher told us several times that she was fired from every job she'd ever been to. She said this like she was proud of it. She told us that she underwent NO training to teach this CNA course, never witnessed the state exam, and had no knowledge of it. She was retired for 3 years and every time a student had a question her response was "I dont know I havent been in the field in 3 years." I believe I should be refunded for the experience, but I know I wont be. This entire organization is a catastrophic mess. 0/10 would NOT recommend.

I don't normally write reviews, but after my experience with At Home Quality Care I had to…read more Everyone knows how difficult it can be to trust a stranger with your loved ones...but from the second I spoke with them they didn't feel like strangers at all. We found ourselves needing full-time care for our mother, who recently fell ill and could no longer take care of herself. We did some research and heard of their service, and we are so glad we did. Our mother now has the care she needs and deserves and we can rest easy knowing she is being cared for. If you find yourself needing help with caring for someone, I would recommend reaching out to them, they are very knowledgeable about all aspects of care and can help you with any questions you may have!

really Deserves 0 stars but unable to post without at least one star…read more More than one Live in aid refused to care for family member, live-in aid stayed hiding in room for 12 hours period of time not helping family member Agency has Unqualified aids that are unable to properly care for family member they are not trained, and just refuse to provide care Family member did not even have hair brushed for over a week while being cared for by agency live-in aid went multiple consecutive days without having food prepared by aid Asst. Administrator is nothing more than LPN nurse who continues to blame family member for the unacceptable treatment received from members of her agency Big headache. Strongly discourage ANYONE in need of services such as these to hire this agency. I do not know what other agencies are available but must be better than this one!!!! Don't let them do to your family what they did to my family member, you will never forgive yourself for putting family member in that position.

Compared to LVH, this is the best care you could receive in Scranton. 5 stars in Lackawanna county,…read moreprobably 3 if compared nationally. They took care of my mom which is more than I can say about Lehigh Valley Hospital in Dickson city. They completely dismissed and discounted my mother's complaints and sent her home with a broken bone in her spine. Fortunately, the doctor's here took a fresh look and found this fracture and a couple other problems that had been ignored by her other primary care doctors. The ER Dr. White was amazing and had wonderful bedside manner. He actually seemed to care, how incredible is that?! Nothing like getting a full explanation on the current care and future plan for helping my mother get out of the hospital and continue on in her golden years. Everyone was great during our visit to the ER and we appreciate all the loving care my mother received here.

Then 4 days later my catheter clogged. I went to the er at midnight. Once again waited for hours while my bladder was about to explode. Then they took it out and wouldn't let me stay in the back. They put me back in the waiting room er and told me to use the bathroom there. So I did. I tried to anyway. When I walked in my nose was hit with the smell of death. I knew this smell . C diff. I was DISGUSTED to see streaks of shit all over the floor, toilet and wall of the only stall in the male bathroom. Clearly someone half ast cleaned in and left it. I had to stand in front of the urinal for 10 to 15 mins at a time as my urine slowly started working again. I pleaded to just go back into one of the actual er bathrooms in the back but I wasn't allowed. Finally after about 2 more hours I was brought back. Treated over the course of 6 more hours. I finally went home at about 8 am. And then 4 days later, guess what? CDIFF infection!!! It literally almost killed me. I can't imagine how many people your disgusting hospital infected. Im just getting over it now and that was almost 2 months ago. Dont ever come to this place if you want to live.
