They have provided services to many of our local seniors in their homes and in local senior care living facilities. Carolyn is also an active member of the SF Rotary Club and on several non-profit boards. I hightly recommend Nurses With Heart Home Care!

I cared for an elderly friend of mine who needed 24/7 assistance. I hired Nurses with Heart to…read morecare for her, so I knew she would have someone constantly with her to feed, bathe, clothe, and take care of all her needs. She was in her 90's, and had dementia. Not only was Nurses with Heart there to make sure she lived her best life during her final years, they were there until the end, and I do mean end. I got the call at 3am in the morning that my friend had passed. Not only did the owner of Nurses with Heart meet me there, she let her caregiver go home, and stayed with me until the funeral home assistants arrived. Carolyn Moore the owner, myself, and the two funeral assistants carried my friend down to the stretcher because the elevator to her apartment in the assisted living facility was too small to accomodate the stretcher. No one at the assisted living facility could be found to help. It was quite a journey, believe me from beginning to end, and Carolyn was there all the way. If you are looking for a company that truly cares, has compassion, great caregivers, and does exactly what they say they will do, you will want Nurses with Heart to care for your loved ones. Carolyn and co-owner Alise are fantastic! Santa Fe and Los Alamos are fortunate to have them in their communities.

Writing this review from personal experience, I am disappointed with this business and their…read moreconduct. In my opinion, the company treated our family member as a corpse to make money off, rather than a living human being with a family that cares about them. The company did not address our needs as a client and has sent whoever they found. We had to apply a lot of extra effort to find care takers within the company that would make a good fit for our needs. The management and the owner are difficult to communicate with, and what's worse -- has inappropriately laughed on the phone during a serious conversation over serious matters and urgent concerns. The company has not been helpful in a time of crisis when services were needed most. This has caused an immense level of stress for our family and loved one. That being said, I gave this company two stars because some of the care takers are actually good at their job and attentive to their client. I hope they continue to work in the field of senior care. Overall, however, I would not recommend this company for the price they charge for their services. I highly recommend doing a thorough research when looking for care for your dear loved one.

Since the initial phone call I made to start services for my dad I have been treated with utmost respect and have made me feel cared for. They have been very flexible and patient with my dad who can be stubborn and needs constant care. I have no experience with senior care and Comfort Keepers has helped me to learn how to get the best care for my dad who is suffering from dementia. All of the caregivers that have been caring for my dad have been very professional, they were competent and kind. I would not hesitate to use Comfort Keepers again to care for any of my family members.

In 2011. when Dad needed assisted care, I found Beehive Homes in Albuquerque, a small facility of…read moreabout 15 residents. The place was great, except that it was 65 miles away and every time I had to take Dad to a doctor's appointment it was an all day event for me. During his stay here, the owner of the facility told me about a veteran's benefit I might get for Dad. He then told me he could pay for a lawyer (!) to file the case with VA. Dad got the VA pension because of Michael and Beehive Homes. It took a while to get the pension, even with the lawyer doing most of the work. During that time, I ran out of funds and moved Dad to Pacifica Rosemont. What a mistake! This was an enormous facility that you could get lost in, even without dementia. The staff were sparse but well meaning, but it was a bad deal all around. When Dad's VA pension started coming in, I moved him to the Santa Fe Beehive Homes which was way more expensive than the "big box" facility but you know, you get what you pay for. Again, the people at Beehive Homes went out of their way to help me get Dad's long term care insurance payments. Manager Kelly Hanlin, filled out a plethora of paperwork and faxes and phone calls to help me. I cannot recommend this place enough. These people are caring, honest, and go out of their way to do the right thing. In my book, that's perfection.
