My mom's health was declining rapidly and she was in need of someone to be with her to ensure her safety as well as for companionship. It's now 2 years later and mom is suffering from Alzheimer's. Her needs have escalated from companionship to 24/7 care. Seeing her decline has not been easy. However, GHC and Paul have made it much easier to deal with because they are there every day making sure she has: diapers, she gets her meds, she is not hurt and she is not alone.

Let's face it: people are living longer and needing more care as they age. My family encountered…read morethis reality head-on when our grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Initially feeling helpless, we soon turned to Elder Care Homecare, on the recommendation of friends, and found them to be the best home-healthcare agency we interviewed, hands down. In practice, they were as good as we'd expected. They were able to give us comfort that our grandfather was in capable hands while we were at work. The aides were not only competent but also trustworthy -- a critical factor when choosing to grant access to a loved one's home. Perhaps most important, the staff was accessible. I cannot emphasize this enough. Especially in the first weeks after we hired Elder Care, we wanted frequent updates, and Elder Care rose to the challenge. Rather than make us feel like we were annoying them, the team was a pleasure to work with, keeping us posted in real time and offering a window into our grandfather's treatment. We got the sense that the whole team actually cared.

I found Daniel Care after learning that my elderly mother was coming to live with me and needed…read moreround the clock care. First - I work in health care. Second, at the outset of my career I learned my most valuable lesson - "always do what's best for the patient and you will never go wrong." Over the years I had the same message grilled into me - "it is all about the patient." When I, family members or friends are receiving healthcare, I watch and listen. To me, a healthcare worker's words and actions are telling, a strong indicator of whether for them it's all about the patient or completing the task to move on. When I started looking for an agency to provide care for my mother I already had a wonderful woman, Ms. A, who has worked beautifully with my mother for years. She agreed to cover 4 days out of the week, but I needed someone for the other three days. After calling and interviewing many agencies and listening to their sales pitch, I kept talking and learned a lot. One agency manager insisted that Ms. A., who works for another agency, quit and switch over to their agency. I explained that Ms. A. had high ethical values and would not consent. Also, I added that it would be dishonest to steal her away from her current employer. The manager refused to relent, adding "tell her I'll pay her more." The more I conversed I soon realized that our conversation was nothing more than a business transaction, a negotiation and had nothing to do with caring for my mother. DanielCare had 5 stars, plus several friends had recommended them so I decided to give them a try. I called Daniel and we spoke at length. I told him of the stress of the upcoming life-changing experience for both my mom and myself. He was empathetic and reassuring and told me we would work together to care for her needs. Daniel and his Care Coordinator, Marinice Paul came out to meet my mom, Ms. A and myself. Daniel and Marinice walked in and they began to watch, observe and ask questions. I was impressed. Daniel observed and commented on the the love, courage, patience and tenderness with which Ms. A cares for my mother. He then stopped, pulled her aside and showered her with praise and thanks. He did not slip her his card and try to steal her away. Nor did he attempt to undermine what she was doing and say that DanielCare could do better. He pumped her up, encouraged, lauded and praised her. I watched Daniel and thought "[w]ith DanielCare - it's all about the patient"! When you look for a homecare agency, remember you need someone will care for your family member with tenderness and compassion. If you can't be there or do everything on your own, having the right person in your home is priceless and will give you peace of mind. You need an agency that prioritizes choosing the right person to come into your home to care for your loved one. Many of the agencies I called said "[s]ure, sure we can get somebody in there." Daniel was different. He spent time exploring, talking, and observing. He took the time to find out my mother's needs - what is important for my mother and for me. That is why I chose Daniel care. Working in health care today people are ready to complain about small things that are simply an inconvenience. Whether we work in healthcare or not, Covid has taught us all a valuable lesson - ask yourself what is really important. Thank God for each day of life, because tomorrow is not promised, and thank the wonderful, courageous caregivers that come into your home. If you are at a restaurant ordering a hamburger or a steak dinner and are upset because your meat is medium rare instead of well done, you can chastise the waiter, and send the food back. Or you can leave, vowing never to return as the thought of pink meat remains forever seared in your brain. But if you are looking for the right person, the right agency to care for your precious mother or father, look for yourself an agency for whom it is all about the patient - then pick up the phone and call DanielCare. I promise - you won't regret it.

Unfortunately -I must give them a very negative review. I…read morehave asked them numerous times to assist me in replacing a live-in caregiver who has created a very toxic environment for us. The caregiver constantly manipulates the family against each other in order to get his way. Every time I try to replace him the agency interferes and ignores my requests even though I am the one hired them and I am the one who pays the caregiver who I dislike immensely. I should not have to be a situation where I am forced to keep a caregiver that I dislike. They don't return my phone calls and they ignore my requests to get a different caregiver. Instead of working with me to replace this caregiver who has created an extremely toxic environment, the agency will go behind my back and reach out to another family member who has very little to do with the caregiving, is easily manipulated and it results in arguments about replacing the caregiver. I don't want a caregiver who is only in it for the money and who does not have patients wellbeing in mind. I constantly have to step in and make sure the patient is being cared for. I should be allowed to replace a caregiver that I have no trust in. The caregiver should not be in charge and the agency should not be in charge. Thay have made a difficult situation even more difficult by pitting family members against each other. I dislike them immensely. Be careful
