I am sending you some of my thoughts about Always Best Care now that I have had time to reflect. Mom’s move to Assisted Living has gone very well and I’d like you to know:--From the initial home meeting and throughout my mother’s care, Lois was extremely personable, professional and knowledgeable of the home care industry. She is flexible and always available to answer questions, offer support or concerns either by phone or email. It was not unusual to have Lois respond to an email even on a weekend! --ABC matched caregivers to my Mother’s needs and personality and we (and my Mother) were very happy with the care received and with the communication between caregivers and family.--Although my Mother is in Memory Care now, she still remembers ‘her ladies’ that not only assisted in her care, but more importantly, offered friendship.We would be very happy to be used as a reference if needed!

I just wanted express our thoughts about Mary, who was the caregiver for the weekend. We all thought she was wonderful!! I think her biggest strength is that she “sees the work”, needs little/to no direction, offers to take things out of our hands, and is a true-go-getter. For Billie, this type of help is great since she feels like she can take some time to rest and trust all is okay. Mary works hard and is also very patient.I really think Mary is a natural dealing with elderly. She is patient and kind! Anyway, what I wanted to ask is if Mary can be the consistent caregiver for the weekends. The other 4 caregivers that I have met are also very nice. We would like Mary as much as possible as she is punctual, and as I mentioned before, ‘sees what needs doing”. She is focused on what she can do to help. She doesn’t just sit there next to Bill, she has eyes in the back of her head and goes the extra mile. Anything that needs to get done, she says “no wait, let me do it’—if she hasn’t already initiated it herself. She seems to have endless energy and never complained. I just felt compelled to drop you a this note to let you know how impressed we were with her.

A good friend of mine recommended Always Best Care to me a few years ago but it wasn't until caregiving for my uncle (now 93) for 18 years that I finally "gave in"... Reaching out to Lois was the best decision I have made for my uncle and for me, as well. Lois found the perfect spot for him and guided me through his move there...all in less than 2 weeks. She has continued to look after ME since then and I am deeply grateful to her for everything that she has done for us.

Dear Lois-Thank you so much for your kind, personalized service. My mother was always resistive to someone coming into herhome to help care for her, but she is very, very pleased with Betsy. Not only does she have someone to keep her companyand meet her physical needs—her kitchen is looking cleaner than I have seen it in a while. Thank you again.

I forgot to tell you that I miss your compassion toward your people. You positive and helpful approach toward them is admirable.

Dear Lois, I am writing on behalf of my family to tell you how appreciative we are of Always Best Care and your services. These have not been the best of times for my family and especially hard on my Mom but we take great comfort knowing you are there to help.Our caretaker Judy has been wonderful since my Dad was sent to River Glen in Southbury and from the very beginning of our ordeal. My Mom is extremely protective of my Dad and has always requested for Judy to help out with my Dad. To me that is the biggest proof of our confidence that has been my Mom's faith in her. Anything we have asked of her she has delivered and shown what most can't - that she really cares.Your Professional staff is a pleasure to work with - adapting schedules, applying payments quickly, and always courteous.I felt like great service should be made aware of and should set a standard that Always Best Care always seems to meet..

Thank you so much for everything. Mom is not ready to take the step to accepting in-home help yet, but I can tell you that you will be our agency of choice when she gets to that stage. I feel so much better about all of this knowing that you will be able to help us when the time comes. For me, it makes a big difference to actually know someone who is in charge and I think that will make a difference with my Mom too.

It is with pleasure, and without hesitation, that I recommend Always Best Care for assistance with seniors.During the past approximately 18 months, your guidance and coordination of efforts in providing appropriate care for a loved one in my family have been stellar. Your comforting and "hands on" approach to the various challenges that often occur in caring for a senior have exceeded my high expectations. Simply stated, I would recommend both of you, and your company, to anyone in need of caring services for the elderly.Please do not hesitate to utilize me as a professional reference if the need arises.
