Elderly Care for Marieke Hoogerwerf

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. Your kind manner was reassuring to my mother and to me, and you have made the process of caringfor my mother at home easy and provided me with much needed relief so that I can actually return to work with acalm mind.

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!

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..

Thanks again for all the great work, support and care everyone showed us over the past year! We will miss everyone! My Mom is actually doing great now. The first week at the new Community was tough, but once we got her furniture moved there she seemed to settle in. Maybe if we had waited a few more months it might have worked out at home for a while longer but in the end transitioning to a Community, as you had encouraged, was the best decision at the time.

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.
