Griswold Home Care forgets the big picture: what is best for the patient (client). The first…read moreCaregiver they placed with my 91 years old father, who had a stroke in June, was not trained. She did not know how to do transfers. (Wheelchair to bed, wheelchair to car, etc). After many requests, they sent someone to help train her, but most of her training came from my dad's therapists from another agency. After she was finally fully trained and we all felt comfortable with her caring for my dad, and no warning, they fired her. We're not sure why, they said she was not following some of their rules. My 92 year old mom had warmed up to her and she was quite the helping hand to her. The next placement was in no physical condition to be trying to transfer or take care of my dad. The third placement was a very strong personality. These caregivers are 24/7 and it is important that personalities mesh. She was taking excellent care of Dad, but mom was having a hard time warming up to her. She had a take-charge attitude and it was a little hard for mom to handover some of her duties. They were working it out and a few times feelings were hurt and mom lost her cool. I think for 92 she was handling it well. Things were moving along and everyone was starting to feel comfortable. My dad had developed quite the soft spot for his Caregiver and we were very pleased with her. Then once again, without notice, they fired us!! They would not even try to work it out with us. Worked out the week and we had to scurry to get a new agency in AND start all over again. This has been quite the setback for my dad. Find another agency.

I got on the phone with Tim that evening and within twenty minutes, we had a plan in place to get my cousin home and cared for until family could get to her. My cousin's roommate wound up coming home early and was able to take care of her, so we never actually used the Homewatch service. Nevertheless, I really appreciate Tim and his staff putting the time in to help me feel reassured that my cousin would be well taken care of. For anyone in a similar situation in the Herndon, Reston, or Chantilly area, I highly recommend calling Homewatch.

4 minutes agoNEW-Edit As this is a business that does…read moreeverything to encourage positive reviews -ie they continually send messages please review us- I felt it is worth warning people about this company. My father has Alzheimers and was in a memory care unit. The unit required us to hire 24 hour nursing as he was experiencing psychological issues and was going to be transferred to a facility- we spent over $30000 for his care, and because his transfer to the other facility was touch and go based on a number of reasons, we tried to warn them of an ending. We spoke with Charlene and asked how much notice she required and she told us 1 week. At that point we did tell her ok, he will be gone in a week, and he was. My father was discharged a day earlier on Thursday April 29,2021. When I received the billing I noticed we were billed through April 30, using the same caregiver- see the picture. What is odd is we were billed for the same caregiver who apparently sat with him for 24 hours as we were billed for her 8 hours thursday and then another 16 hour shift the following day. Since he was discharged on Thursday afternoon, I just figured they were billing us out for the 7 day notice, which is perfectly reasonable. I called to get copy of all the bills so I can reconcile , and I was suprised to hear from Rochelle in billing that we were being billed yet another week because we did not give notice. We immediately called Charlene who referred us back to Rochelle - Great the person we gave notice to, refers us back to billing. I know elderly care is a big business, and I certainly think people should earn their money. We had no problem with the bill, even billing out the 7th day per our notice- but to send us yet another bill 2 weeks after my father had been discharged seems to be a bit much- On May 10th we received a bill for 4072.50 billing us for 5/1-5/7. My father was discharged on 4/29/21. While we have no problem with the service, we most certainly do have problem with the billing. I write this to caution anyone who signs a contract to do the following- review bills carefully, attempt to avoid the ACH , which might not be possible, and most certainly send your notice in a certified letter so you have proof. This company will use any "gotcha" they can. And remember, companies who solicit reviews, are doing so for a reason. Everything I have posted is true and accurate, and I have the paperwork to back it up. Possible litigation requires you to have your ducks in a row. If anyone reading this has had the same problem with this company, please feel to contact me. Perhaps we can pool resources and stories.

There was another review stating about how this "company is all about money" and I could not agree more. They barely pay their nurses the amount each one deserves as I'm sure the office personnel lives very well off instead. If you think they have customer service.... sorry to inform you, they don't. If you get to speak with anyone from the office, all you get is attitude. basically, it's their way or you are pretty much left with no other option. Unfortunately, There isn't honesty or integrity from the agency and if you don't have that from the office, most of the time you receive this from the nurses too. And it's funny to say that most nurses say the office made them lie. Example: one nurse was told to say she had been in contact with someone that had COVID (now remember how this is not even something anyone should joke about especially dealing with the elder) and only lied because she has to work another case. Can you imagine how we as the family felt knowing that our loved one could had been with a nurse who had been in contact with someone with Covid?! Not only our loved one but us ourselves had to all be tested just to find out the office and the nurse had lied to us!! Most nurses (definitely not all) are hard-working people and willing to adapt to the environment while others don't last a day with their new case. Each family is considered a "case". Again most nurses, want to work longer days or OT but this agency sends another nurse to a case they are not familiar with and without training. The agency's logical is completely a joke! Should a nurse willing to work OT, it makes more sense to send the same nurse to the same case they normally work rather then someone who can't be trained. The frustration level dealing with this agency has been less than professional. To the point where they don't even pick up your call (I'm sure they have caller ID) but even so they can't even return your call. Listen, I could keep going and reveal more on how this agency works however, the advice I give to those looking for someone to take care of your love one is to keep looking for another agency. At this point, I have had so much knowledge of what NOT to do that I could one day open up my own agency because the lack of EVERYTHING with this one is a total joke.

He took the time to truly listen to what we wanted and asked thoughtful questions to understand how we actually use our space, not just how it looks on paper. That level of care made all the difference. Jack did an incredible job designing our walk-in closet and was extremely intentional about every detail. What impressed us most was how he helped us save thousands of dollars by creating an efficient, smart design that maximized space without overbuilding or pushing unnecessary upgrades. He was honest about what we did and didn't need, which made us trust his recommendations completely. Beyond his talent, Jack is simply a pleasure to work with. He is communicative, responsive, charismatic, and very down to earth. He explained the process clearly, educated us along the way, and made sure we felt confident and informed at every step. You can tell he's highly intelligent and deeply knowledgeable about his craft -- designing closets isn't just his job, it's something he truly takes pride in. This experience felt personal, professional, and stress-free from start to finish. We never felt rushed or pressured, just genuinely supported. If you're considering Closet by Design, I can't recommend Jack highly enough. He exceeded our expectations in every way and delivered a result we absolutely love and will enjoy for years to come.
