Their caregivers always arrived on time and were excellent companions who helped me withstand the rigors of a very difficult treatment protocol. The agency's management staff was also very easy to work with. Services and charges were clearly explained and the scheduling office went above and beyond in accommodating the inevitable changes in my treatment plans. Should I require caregiver services again in the future, I will definitely turn to Husky. I have already recommended the agency to several friends who are seeking senior care help.

I hired Visiting Angels to visit my husband 3 x week for 3 weeks while I was out of country…read more I was totally reliant on reading caregiver notes (through the portal) as I was unable to access a phone. I had a few specific questions for each caregiver and had been assured I would see answers after each visit. Despite numerous requests, this never happened. On the third week, there were two NO SHOWS ! I was never informed of this but learned from my husband (who was able to call the office to report the no shows). Phone tag ensued and hours later, a different caregiver arrived. We were lucky that my husband is cognitively clear at this point and did not require personal care services (such as bathing, feeding, dressing, transfers). Upon returning home, I learned that Visiting Angels has NO system in place for the central office to know when a caregiver doesn't show up at a residence. The office offered to not charge me for the final week of planned service. IF your loved one would be unable to make a phone call when a no-show occurred, the office would not know and your loved-one would be WITHOUT CARE. I was sorely disappointed and now inform everyone, in search of an agency, about our experience. NO SHOWS are unacceptable.

Many staffing problems, inconsistent providers. Actually had an incident where there was a no show. When one hires a care taker for a loved one and can't be relyed upon, I find it a huge issue. My father needed adult supervision, not heavy care, though I found the service most times provided was just a "body" present. I had a discussion with the office a few times regarding having this. The one somewhat consistent employee was a college student who was studying on her laptop most times, performed minor chores, but had no personal interaction with my father. There should be a no electronic device policy- I would not recommend this company.

We could not have been happier with her. We had some difficult communications with the accountant assigned to our family. In a span of about four months we only had to inquire about two bills, but the accountant took a long time to return our emails or phone messages. One time, information she gave us proved to be incorrect, but eventually everything got sorted. I just found the accountant to be less responsive than one would expect in a customer service role. It took longer than expected to see action on the return of the remaining balance of our deposit. However, I received an unexpected call from Fedelta, apologizing for the delay, and all ended well. The most important part of our relationship with Fedelta was the simple fact that they had a caregiver who treated my wife as though she was the caregiver's mother. While this extraordinary woman was with us, she became part of our family. What more can one ask.

HomeWell has provided what has been, without exaggeration, the most consistently disengaged and…read moreineffective caregivers I have ever encountered. Over time, we have cycled through three caregivers and multiple management staff, all demonstrating the same troubling patterns: inattention, lack of basic caregiving skills, and a complete absence of accountability. Families should not be misled by warm introductions or polished three-ring binders filled with mission statements and promises of dedication. The reality could not be further from what is presented. Despite repeated and direct requests--both verbal and written--to management and individual caregivers to remain off their phones during shifts, caregivers remain consumed by personal phone use while my father-in-law, who has dementia, is left sitting in front of the television for hours at a time. I have personally purchased interactive games such as Connect 4, card games, and ping pong, as well as supplies for bird feeders, all with the intention of encouraging engagement and stimulation. None of these efforts have been utilized. Meaningful interaction appears to be considered "too much effort." This is especially frustrating because I know--through firsthand experience--that my father-in-law is far more mentally present and capable than the caregivers recognize. Ten rounds of Connect 4 with him is joyful, engaging, and entirely within his abilities. He is very much alive inside, and he deserves to be treated that way. On February 4, 2026, I visited to check his refrigerator and discovered expired raw eggs dated January 16, 2025, along with multiple other expired perishable items--foods that could have been served to him up to three times a week. This alone raises serious concerns about basic safety and oversight. I arrived at 1:04 p.m. By 1:08 p.m., the caregiver--who had been sitting comfortably on her phone--suddenly made urgent phone calls and left, abandoning her shift nearly an hour early despite being scheduled until 2:00 p.m. I immediately contacted management and, to date, have received no response addressing this clear dereliction of duty. This behavior is consistent with prior experiences. On an earlier occasion, I asked this same caregiver to walk with my father-in-law around the Ballard Senior Center. Instead, she ignored the request and sat on a bench until it was time to be picked up. It is not difficult to understand why she appeared uneasy when I arrived unannounced simply to check a refrigerator--basic oversight exposed ongoing neglect. While the primary legal responsibility lies with his daughter, who travels internationally for extended periods, my husband and I step in when she is away to ensure that his fundamental needs are met: bathing, shaving, walking, social interaction, and a properly stocked and safe refrigerator. Rather than welcoming this involvement, the caregiver and her manager complained to his daughter that I "micromanage" and should "back off." It is astonishing to be criticized for ensuring that a vulnerable adult is properly cared for. HomeWell charges $50 per hour for care. At that rate, families reasonably expect engagement, attentiveness, and respect for the dignity of a person with dementia--not caregivers sitting in chairs on their phones while ignoring their core responsibilities. Unfortunately, my hands are tied. I am not the legal guardian and do not have the authority to hire or dismiss caregivers. However, that limitation does not diminish my obligation to speak up when I witness neglect, safety risks, and systemic failures in care. This is not a matter of personality conflicts or unrealistic expectations. It is about accountability, basic competence, and humane treatment of a vulnerable elder who deserves far better than what HomeWell has consistently provided. I hope your loved ones are never placed in situations where their care and well-being are compromised, as we have experienced with HomeWell.

I was referred to With A Little Help by a friend of mine who is a hospice nurse. He actually gave me the names of three agencies, and I called them all. The first two had a corporate vibe, and sent me directly into a voicemail black hole. It was days before I heard back. When I called With A Little Help, within seconds, I was talking with Kacie, one of the owners, who was so kind and spent all of the time I needed talking with me about our situation and care needs. By the end of the phone call, we had a plan for an intake evaluation, and just a couple of days later, a new care team was in place...and just like that, the stress and worry that had been accumulating over many months lifted. This is just one example of the many, many I could share about the excellent care With A Little Help offers. They aren't a corporate-care behemoth. They are local, owner run, and some of the most caring people I've met in a long time. Kacie and Paul, the owners, worked with us to find the caregivers that are the best fit for our situation. The caregivers are highly skilled, professional, and compassionate. All of them have giant hearts. Some words that come to mind when talking about With A Little Help: Professional Flexible Kind Collaborative Communicative Compassionate Responsive Punctual Attuned For us, With a Little Help has been something of a miracle.
