Our hone health aid Rose was more than I ever thought a aid would be. Rose fit right in, s he made my mom feel like there was nothing wrong, that she was not receiving g from a stroke. She was gentle and compassionate, did everything my mom needed and never once was my mom uncomfortable. Rose was like having a family member that you like helping and keeping my mom safe and pushing her recovery when I couldnt. You can never be there 24/7 to help your loved one recover and it is hard entrusting your loved one to someone that you dont know. This agency is wonderful at matching a caregiver

I called Independence Home Care on the recommendation of a trusted friend (and professional.) I was relieved and impressed by their responsiveness, professionalism, and thoughtful solutions to our family's healthcare needs. Our needs were short term, but should the situation arise again, Independence Home Care will be my first phone call.

I used Independence Home Care for my father's care when he was terminally ill. The entire staff at Independence really came through for me and my family when we were looking for a home health aid to hire. They found an aid within ONE day to start caring for my dad. The aid was excellent! Did anything and everything my dad needed, with such love and care and really helped put our minds at ease. Would highly recommend Independence to anyone looking for a home health aid for their loved one!!

Our experience with Independence Home Care was excellent. The back-office staff was extremely responsive whenever we called. The nurse that came for the initial consult (Elizabeth Conti) was excellent, and did a great job setting expectations. Both aides that were scheduled were very attentive and responsible. Thank you Independence Home Care for being there for our family during a difficult time.

Dear Terri,
We would like to let you know how much we appreciate are grateful for Gloria Banin's help. She has been a tremendous asset over the past 2 months. She has many wonderful qualities that we will miss. She is a hard worker, trustworthy, kind, thoughtful and caring. We wish we could have her help and company down in Florida and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home care aide. With deepest gratitude,
Herb and Carole Z. Mark and Lee Z.
