Then in early 2024, I needed hip replacement surgery. My wife has dementia, so I hired CFTH to take care of my wife, expecting to be able to come back home after 4 days in a skilled nursing facility. I had major setbacks and spent 2 full months in the hospital. Thankfully, I returned home to a wife that had been extraordinarily well cared for during my unexpected absence. At that point, I also needed a lot of care. It's two years later, and the team from CFTH is still taking excellent care of my wife and me. I am very grateful for Jackie and her team.

The best experience! We, our father's children, all live far away. So finding reliable and caring…read morein home support that we did not have to worry about was crucial. Safe at Home (SAH) was providing in-home support for our father a few days a week as our father's companion was needing support with his bathing, getting to doctor appointments, light cleaning, etc. A different company selected and paid for by the VA was covering the other days. SAH, BY FAR, outshined the other company in all areas! SAH management, Vanessa and Luisa, are kind, caring, responsive, available and very communicative. The caregivers are kind, loving, VERY PATIENT (my father can be challenging), and competent. They are on time and have stayed late when needed. Our father enjoyed the caregivers; they connected with him and felt very comfortable with them. The caregivers would interact with our father and spend quality time with him. When our father's companion unexpectedly passed away, SAH was there to help! They immediately provided 24/7 coverage for our father until we were able to move him close to us. I cannot say enough positive things about SAH and all who work there. If you want high quality services and peace of mind, knowing your loved one is being taking great care of, SAR is for you!

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.

Even more challenging is finding caregivers you can truly trust during such a vulnerable stage of life. A very special thank you to Family Matters, and my father's caregiver, Sade. He is under hospice care with advanced dementia, and can barely speak. Sade is consistently patient, and kind, and gives me complete peace of mind whenever she's caring for him. Most importantly, she engages with him and makes him feel seen. This is in sharp contrast to other caregivers we've experienced who are often on their phones and treat him as if he's invisible. I'm also especially grateful for KJ who manages the caregivers and scheduling. While other agencies haven't taken the time to meet my father or me in person, KJ made it a priority to get hands-on training to fully understand my father's caregiving needs. Because of this, she's been able to step in to provide training and support which is a huge godsend given my limited bandwidth. She even proactively revised the caregiving shift note template to make it clearer and more helpful for our caregiving team. Family Matters has truly exceeded our expectations because they understand the real meaning of caregiving. On top of that, their participation in the Veterans Assistance Program, which requires stricter qualifications provides an added layer of confidence and experience.

I have torn meniscus and bone-on-bone arthritis in both knees, and surgery felt like the only option. But Aaron worked with me patiently and consistently, and after several months of twice-weekly sessions, I found myself doing something I hadn't done in a long time, walking without pain. Once I made that progress, I began working with Michelle, their personal trainer, to build overall strength and improve my fitness. I've been overweight for too long, and with Michelle's guidance, I've dropped multiple clothing sizes, built noticeable muscle, and so far I've lost over 20 pounds. Most importantly, I feel strong and empowered, and I'm doing all I can to keep my knees supported and avoid (or at least delay) surgery. The change has been truly life-changing. My quality of life has improved dramatically. I move with so much more ease, and even the muscle soreness that comes from a tough workout feels good because I know I'm doing something great for my body. I'm beyond grateful for the support, expertise, and encouragement I've received at Within Your Reach.

No employee deserves to feel discriminated against or humiliated in their workplace, especially in a setting that should be centered on compassion and care for seniors. Brookdale Senior Living failed to provide a respectful, supportive environment. What should have been an opportunity to serve the elderly community turned into a toxic experience.
