-Pat Claude, Columbia, SCNate and his wife Charlene were so supportive of me when I needed help in the home before my husband went to the Haven. When I fell and injured my knee and had to go to the hospital, they came to the hospital with a caregiver to provide help to my husband because I could not help my husband as well while I recovered. When I released, the care giver stayed with my husband. They had a full meal for me and my husband when we returned home. The support was on such a personal level as well as a professional level. Then when my husband had a bad decline for 2 weeks at the Haven, they provided an additional care giver to help support my husband’s condition while he was in a residential care facility. The third time that I had to call on them for my services in the home, I was in a wheelchair because I another knee injury. She took me to all of my doctor appointments and to the Haven to visit with my husband. She turned into be such a caring and supportive care giver to me. The secure feeling helped me heal a lot faster. They care about their clients they really do. I recommend this company due to treating people like they are family members and you are a part of their family.
