    Exceptional care and genuine compassion. Starlight Caregivers Inc. has been a true lifeline for our…read morefamily. From the moment we connected with them five years ago, their professionalism and warmth stood out. The caregivers are not only highly skilled but also deeply empathetic--treating us with dignity, patience, and kindness every step of the way. They've become part of the family. Cindy and the team went above and beyond to anticipate our needs and provide tailored support, even during stressful times. Whether it was personal hygiene care, meal prep, or simply being a comforting presence, they consistently delivered with excellence. Their communication was clear and proactive, which gave us peace of mind knowing our family member was in good hands. They also made our lives easier by handling the paper-work for our long-term-care insurance. When an emergency arose and we suddenly needed around-the-clock (24x7) assistance, they were there with additional help and no gap in coverage. Just one text was all it took! What peace of mind knowing that we could rely on them to augment our regular caretaking schedule without having to hunt during a crisis for additional caretakers. If you're looking for a caregiving service that truly understands what it means to care, I can't recommend Starlight highly enough.

What stands out most is the time they take to understand each family's situation before recommending anything. They ask real questions and actually listen to the answers, rather than fitting every client into a one size fits all care plan. They are also consistently responsive. Whenever I reach out to someone on their team I hear back quickly and get a genuinely helpful response. I recommend working with them!

The environment was incredibly welcoming meeting the team, seeing their office, and having real conversations over lunch rather than a formal presentation. That was my kind of experience! That same sense of care and connection carries into the important work they do, providing high-level in-home care and support to individuals and families during some of life's heaviest and most challenging seasons. Just as importantly, they hold their caregiving team to a high standard, investing in quality training and certification so families can feel confident in the level of care and professionalism coming into their homes. Thank you, Alex Real, Amri & Gulraj Shahpuri for the warm welcome and connection. Oh, & the great homemade vegetable soup. Grateful for the invitation and for the work you're doing in our community!

    We had an outstanding experience with Family Matters, and I wanted to share this review because…read morethis is what exemplary care should look like. My 75-year-old mother underwent necessary brain surgery three weeks ago. Three days before surgery, she had a ground-level fall, tore her rotator cuff, and sustained a small fracture. Because the surgery could not be deferred, she proceeded as planned but required significant care at home afterward. She had been fully independent, and although she lives with my father, the caregiving needs were beyond his comfort level. I was able to help for a few days after her discharge, but it was clear they would need additional support for her to remain safely at home. The hospital nurses were wonderful, but my mom needed assistance even with basic tasks like repositioning in bed and using the restroom, as her left arm was immobilized. Our hospital care coordinator connected us with Amy, the client care manager for Family Matters, who met us at home right away. She performed a thorough evaluation and took the time to understand my parents' needs and preferences. Almost immediately, we were connected with KJ, the Director of Operations, who coordinated the caregiving schedule. She ensured an excellent match with caregivers and that coverage was consistent and reliable. Communication was seamless--KJ was always responsive and proactive with updates, and we never felt out of touch. My mom especially wanted to recognize her primary daytime caregiver, Maria. Maria was attentive, warm, and incredibly experienced, with over 20 years in caregiving. She is also an excellent cook and was especially skilled in helping my mom with more vulnerable tasks like showering. The other caregivers who supported nights and weekends were also wonderful. The team clearly put thought and care into matching personalities and backgrounds, which made a meaningful difference. Over the following weeks, my mom gradually regained her independence, and we were able to scale back care smoothly. The team made adjustments easy and seamless. We would absolutely use Family Matters again. This was our first experience with a caregiving service, and we were initially apprehensive, but they made the entire process easy, supportive, and reassuring. We would use them again in a heartbeat.

    My son has been receiving services from Goldleaf Homecare Network for 5 months now. I've been so…read moreimpressed with his care provider, Julio, who is friendly, hardworking, and honest. He shops for groceries with my son, and frequently cooks and prepares meals for him. He regularly cleans, including doing dishes, cleaning the fridge, cleaning the bathroom, mopping the floor, etc. He sometimes helps with laundry, and making the bed. He also checks that my son has taken his medication. For every visit, he writes up a brief summary, and describes what was done that day. I can access his summary online, and get a good idea of what was accomplished on that visit. Thank you, Julio, you are a gem! I'm also impressed with Julio's boss Gina, who visited my son and myself at his apartment, twice, to interview my son, and get a good idea of what his needs and wishes were. She took the time to find out what he needs, and to figure out which of her care providers would be the best match for him. I found Gina to be patient, thorough, and trustworthy. She's also good about communicating via email if there is something that needs taking care of. My son has had a variety of other service providers in the past. One was excellent, several were so-so, and a couple were ineffective at best, unpleasant and dishonest at worst. So I have enough points of reference to say that the care my son is currently receiving from Goldleaf is excellent. It is such a relief for me to know that my son is receiving the help he needs!

    GoldLeaf Homecare has been an absolute blessing for our family.

Gina has built a truly professional and caring team that meets all of his needs with skill and genuine warmth. It's clear that every member of the team is not just qualified, but genuinely invested in his wellbeing. What sets GoldLeaf apart is their reliability and flexibility, whether it's a recurring session or an ad-hoc request, they're always available, always on time, and always approach their work with a positive attitude and without hesitation. They've become a team we truly rely on, and they consistently meet and exceed our expectations every single time. Simply put, they are true life-savers, and we couldn't imagine navigating this journey without them.

I called Visiting Angels after hours on a…read moreMonday evening, and to my surprise, I was connected immediately with someone from their office named Tina, who I later learned is the Operations Manager. I was in panic mode, desperately looking for someone to help care for my parents. My father has been overwhelmed trying to care for my mother, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. From the moment Tina answered, she put me at ease. She reassured me that my concerns were common and that my frustrations were completely understandable. She patiently listened as I vented and asked countless questions. I was truly impressed by her compassion, calm demeanor, and willingness to help in any way she could. Although their services were a bit outside of our budget, Tina went above and beyond by suggesting other resources and even providing contact information along with questions to ask so I could find the right fit for my family. I hung up feeling far more confident and supported than when I first called. Visiting Angels is lucky to have such a caring and empathetic person representing their team. Tina is truly a gem, and I'm grateful for the kindness and guidance she offered during a very stressful time.

    I had contacted the executive director Chris Wheaton about an important and timely issue and he…read moretold me he would look into it and update me the following day. He did not call the following day. I called the day after that and was told he would return my call later that day. He did not. I called a couple more times on the following days and was told he would get back to me, but he never did. We ultimately received an email from another Visiting Angels representative but never heard back from Mr. Wheaton. After having used their services for more than 5 years, we expected and deserved better communication. It was an extremely disappointing end to our experience with them. UPDATE following Tani's reply: the review has nothing to do with taking "some time to get answers" or not getting "the answer" we had "hoped for." The negative review is because of the executive director's failure to communicate.
