“My caregiver is a great help and really knows what she is doing. She just brightens my day when she comes in. She gave me a back rub today that really helped me feel better. She is just wonderful.”

“I have had Care At Home for my husband, Ray, for five years. I have been very pleased with them and I would recomend them 100% for the needs of others.”

Bennye Hardy

 

 

“Recently, while recovering from spinal surgery, I was afforded the opportunity to receive in-home health care from a variety of services. For the first time in my life, I was provided a bath aide. Having had no experience with this concept, I was initially apprehensive at the idea of a female helping me to shower.”

“However, Jean's professional attitude and manner quickly dispelled my apprehensions. She arrived at my home promptly at the appointed time, quickly went about her duties, and performed her task in a very professional and caring manner. She was friendly and warm and made me feel comfortable in the unusual situtation.”

“Thank you for providing this important service, and for having people like Jean willing to do this type of work. Her dedication, helpfulness and work ethics speak highly of her and your organization.”

Jim Cavaness, Vale, Oregon
