TESTIMONIALS

The caregivers of HomeCare for Independent Living have been taking excellent care of my mother's needs for over a year and half. At 83, my mother lives alone since my father passed away, and she is beginning to have memory loss issues. Kathleen, the Owner, very patiently listens to our concerns and provides excellent care of my mother according to family's wishes. Kathleen always seems to be in touch with her caregivers, and calls and consults the family whenever an important issue comes up regarding our mother. Since both me and my brother are out of state, we both feel very much at ease having Kathleen manage my mother's medication, nutritional needs, social needs, personal hygiene, and general wellbeing. Kathleen's caregivers have all been exceptionally nice to my mother. Kathleen sincerely cares about my mother's wellbeing, and I highly recommend HomeCare for Independent Living for providing excellent care for seniors.

I have been working as a Nurse and Nurse Case Manager for 36 years. During that time, I have never met a more dedicated group of caregivers than those of HomeCare for Independent Living. They have met every challenge given to them, regarding the care of my patient and developed a team approach to meet the patient's every need. They have my highest recommendation and I look forward to using them in the future.

My aunt, who had great difficulty walking, was well attended to by Kathleen and her staff at HomeCare for Independent Living. The twenty-four-hour reliable care they provided was done with gentle efficiency, cheerful conversation, lovingly performed in all regards. Whether doing personal care, giving her rides to a favorite grocery store, to doctor visits, or providing favorite foods for occasional treats, or helping her dress for her 100th Birthday Party, staff was sensitive to her needs and wishes! Once again, I thank HomeCare for Independent Living for the reliable care given my aunt. I knew she was in good hands.

Dear Kathleen, I want to thank you for all of your help, professionalism, concern, and most importantly, honesty when taking care of my 91-year-old cousin. Your actions and attention far exceeded my expectations. Caregivers like yours are hard to come by. The young ladies who took care of her around the clock were pleasant and very personable, to a point where they have become friends. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for us. My family and my cousin thank you. Sincerely,

– Jeff H. Miller, (cousin resides in Northfield, MA)
