EXCELLENT Based on 27 reviews Posted on Google Kay MoodyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a customer for over a year, I’ve not had any negative experiences. All the caregivers have been absolutely delightful. The coordinator April, manages everyone with such ease, she is dependable, kind, has a great personality, and truly cares about her clients and employees, I absolutely love her. She is my angel in disguise!Posted on Google Dana BraunTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are working with "A Place At Home" form a distance for an elderly friend who does not have family local. Sam has been responsive in a timely manner and extremely helpful. In my opion he has gone above and beyond any place I have worked with before. He as had great suggestions and worked well with the client, and the many people associated with trying to help her. The client has been very pleased with the assistance she has received. My understanding is they specialize in dementia, I do not know what additional training their staff goes through but I have been very impressed with the owners interaction and respect for the client. I highly recommend A Place At Home.Posted on Google Peggy BartleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband has been receiving care through A Place At home for 4 months now and we have been very pleased with the care he receives. Every Caregiver has been exemplary and my husband looks forward to the days they come. All are young (college age) and studying for some area of healthcare. My husband delights in telling them "his stories" and they are always anxious to hear these stories. One spent several days organizing all my husband's slides from his days in the Peace Corps almost 60 years ago and now we can show them to the grandchildren! This is a project that might not have ever happened!! We highly recommend A Place At Home!Posted on Google Beatrice DanielsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Always on time, friendly and careful!Posted on Google Laurie FaasuaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having people come into your home to provide care is not easy…. However A Place at home and the entire staff have been fantastic…. Even when it was hard! Their flexibility and care and ease in solving issues and providing care has been life saving!Posted on Google jenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Staff is super reponsive and helpful, above and beyond expectations. The care-givers are reliable, friendly, and inspire confidence. We are very happy with their services and would recommend A Place At Home to other families in need of in-home care without reservations. Really excellent service all around.Posted on Google BARBARA HOENECKETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been using this company for 2 months now to help care for my 97 yo father in law. All the staff have been great and flexible with changing schedules. April has done a great job overseeing the caregivers and making the schedule fit for everyone. The communication between staff and client is a top priority. Sam and Jocelyn also the best at managing the staffing and client requests.Posted on Google Kathleen Florence WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For the past two or so years, this business has provided reliable, conscientious and friendly care for my father. There are times when an employee has gone above and beyond. It gives me peace of mind to know that my father has this level of support when I am not there.Posted on Google christopher pattiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. April and A Place At home team were amazing. Great communication and caring staff and help with my mom. Highly recommended!

We coach families on what to expect, how to simplify the day, and where respite fits. You stay the spouse or adult child, not the full-time caregiver.
