This is the best homecare agency ever!! I have worked as a Care Assistant for over 10yrs now and none of the Agencies or Companies I worked for can quite compare to this. The staff is simply Amazing! They have their caregivers interests at heart and will do what ever it takes to make them comfortable at work. They are very understanding, easy to talk to and very professional in every aspect of their work. Plus there's always someone there no matter the hour, to listen to your concerns, whether on phone or in-person. If you are a passionate caregiver, you will be spoiled working here; they Recognize

Working for Home Care Assistance for the past two years has been deeply rewarding. They truly go above and beyond to treat their clients with the utmost care and concern, and they give their staff the same respect. It's almost like we're all family. I not only really love my job, but I can honestly say that if I needed to find care for one of my own loved ones, Home Care Assistance would be my first call.

I went to Home Care Assistance when looking for in-home care assistance for my mother with Alzheimer's. Chris & Caitlin were great to work with, they got to know my mom and her background and they took wonderful care of my mother. They made sure her caregivers were matched up with her personality and I always felt my mom was in capable hands. Thank you Chris for everything you did for my mom!

Our mom needed in-home care this year. She is now 90 and really wants to continue to remain in her home. The staff at Home Care Assistance are have been instrumental in making that happen. We all work full-time jobs so were unable to care for our mom during the day. They come in the morning and prepare her breakfast and lunch, work with her on memory exercises and take her to appointments as needed.
Staff are kind and caring and treat her with love and respect. My mom enjoys the visits and I am confident that they provide the best care possible. They have been assisting her since January 2019 and

Home Care Assistance has been an incredible experience for us as a family. We all live far away and being able to trust and rely on our caregivers for our mother is really important. They have failsafe systems in place so that someone always is with her. They are excellent communicators via the family portal, email and text. It was very important to have consistent care enabling a bond between our mother and her caregivers. She is happier and less agitated than she has been in a long time. She has even started to paint again. I would recommend them to anyone who needs consistent and experienced
