Rita's took care of my wife's Aunt the last year of her life. She had early on set Alzheimer's, and the staff at Rita's Care at Home were very knowledgable in taking care of her needs. The staff where very caring, professional, and willing to help out in any way they could. My wife's Aunt was well taken care of, and the family was given much needed support. Thank Rita's Care at Home!

Rita's Care at Home took care of my mother for the past several years of her life. It started out a few hours a week and as Mom aged it deemed necessary to have there care at home provided at 24/7. This agency was very caring and efficient when it came to my Mom or to myself and the family. The caregivers were wonderful and went above and beyond with the service, care, and love shown toward my Mom.
Mom was so pleased with the services provided that she even recommended them to her elderly friends! If there ever was a problem that needed to be addressed, the office staff made sure it was taken care

Rita's worked with us to get care for my father recently. We had to modify the hours and increase the care very quickly and they worked hard to make that happen as we needed it. It was a difficult situation for all but the people Rita's sent all worked hard to do the best they could for us.

One star is the lowest rating available. Otherwise it would be negative 2. Although some of the staff had good hearts and were caring, most of the staff had little training, little common sense, and no initiative.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY. THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. LET ME GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES: TARDINESS OR CALLING IN SICK ON A REGULAR BASIS, ETC.; SLEEPING MOST OF THE DAY UNDER THE COVER ON THE COUCH UNTIL AROUND 3:00 p.m., MY FATHER FINALLY WOKE HER UP AND TOLD HER TO STAY UP!; COMING INTO THE HOUSE EATING OUR FOOD FOR BREAKFAST BEFORE ATTENDING TO THE PATIENT'S FEEDING; AND TO TOP IT ALL, MY SWEET MOTHER WOKE UP ONE MORNING WITH A BLACK EYE. I FIGURED OUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHO DID IT!! ACTUALLY, I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT WILL GATHER MY SENSES AND MOVE ON.
BEWARE, BEWARE,BEWARE!!!
BEWARE, BEWARE,BEWARE!!!
