What Our Clients Are Saying About Our Post-Hospital Care Services
Hearing from families who have trusted us with their loved ones' care is the best testament to our commitment. Here’s what our clients have to say about their experience:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "These caregivers are the best. They do everything that is within their power to make all they do is satisfactory to you and your loved ones. They listen and watch during my physical therapy days, taking notes so we can practice later. When they give me a shower, they make sure I'm comfortable and completely covered up. We each do half of the bath to do after we completed with the bath…after the bath, and I'm getting dressed then I'm all ready for my day." – Robin B.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Homewatch Caregivers assisted me when I needed an ENT procedure and didn’t have a family member in town to assist. This team arranged for my transport, stayed with me during the procedure and took me home and stayed while I recovered from the anesthesia. Homewatch allowed me to handle this event independently and efficiently. Prior to this experience I assumed Homewatch services were limited to the elderly and now I know better. I will not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and use them again when the need arises." – Sally S.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "All is well - thanks for checking in. My sister saw both the cardiologist and the surgeon this week and both said she is doing well. Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks so much!" – Phyllis F.
