This review is an overall review of "Care with Love." I will be writing further reviews of the…read morevarious caretakers that I have had with this company. I have to put some background information here so that you as a reader can understand how exceptional this company is! I was in the hospital recovering from surgery for 9 days when I was discharged to a skilled nursing facility on Wednesday mid-afternoon. (Also being reviewed) Unfortunately, this facility was beyond terrible and I needed to go to the emergency room in the middle of the night for pain relief and my prescribed medications, none of which were available at the nursing facility when I needed them. (I had been without pain medication for eight full hours and was in tears and shaking like a leaf and the nurses didn't have the ability to provide relief other than being frustrated and angry with me. I called an ambulance and returned to the emergency room at the hospital where I had been treated. After the doctors had treated my pain enough that I could think things through. I realized that I didn't want to return to the nursing facility, (although I would have to go back for paperwork) but also that I couldn't go home without 24/7 help for the time being. I used my cell phone to look up "Best home health care near me," and after reading through a few sites I set my sights on "Care with Love." I called "Care with Love" around 7:30 AM on Thursday morning. I was discharged and picked up from the emergency room by 8:00- 8:30 AM and returned to the nursing home. This is where "Care with Love" really began to shine!!!! One of the administrators, Mandy, answered my call, and after hearing my situation agreed that I needed help. By 8:00/8:30 AM, I was discharged and returned to the nursing facility. I was met at the nursing facility, (which I will review in depth, separately), by Claire, from Care with Love. After a short while, Claire helped me get all of my paperwork finished and I was on my way towards returning home. By 10:30 AM, and just in time for my pain meds and morning meds, I was greeted by Alexis, a CNA/Caregiver (Certified Nursing Assistant/Caregiver) with Care with Love. Alexis packed all my belongings, helped me to do my final paperwork from the nursing facility, and had me in a wheelchair on the way to her car. A short drive home, and I was finally somewhere safe, comfortable and well taken care of!! I never expected this help to come so quickly and was in a panic attack that I might have to stay at that nursing facility!! I hired Care with Love for 7 days, 24/7, with 3 shifts of CAN's coming to take care of me. While some of the caregivers were exceptional, and some were of average ability, I can honestly say that I felt safe at all times and knew that if there was anything I needed, I would be taken care of. The administrative team was fantastic! Prior to each shift, they sent an email or text to let me know which caregiver would be covering the next shift, (i.e: by 8 PM I might receive a text message letting me know that caregiver A would be taking my 8:00 AM-4:00 PM shift, Caretaker B would take the shift from 4:00 PM-8:00 PM, and Caretaker C would be taking 8:00 PM-8:00 AM). The company can also provide a live in provider if one wishes. Each administrator was very kind, very patient, very helpful and very communicative. I am grateful to each and every one of them! Although my insurance, (private non-Medicare or Medicaid), would not approve of this service for me, I found the price reasonable considering all that I would need from the people coming in to take care of me. Caretakers take care of any number of activities while they are with you, such as light housework, (dishes after eating, sweeping or mopping a mess made by a client/patient, doing a load of laundry, if need be, and making beds. My CAN's helped coach me through home exercises from my knee replacement and through walking laps in my own home. One special mention of note: On Monday, my Caregiver was helping me prepare for a doctor's appointment when my heart went into serious arrythmia. Care with Love's Registered Nurse Laura, advised us to call an ambulance and go to the hospital. My caregiver not only followed the ambulance to the hospital but remained with me until her shift was over. The next day, she arrived promptly at the beginning of her shift despite the fact that I was still in the hospital. She did so the next day as well, remaining from start to finish of her shift, and fussing over me like a mother hen!!! I am home again, and able to take care of myself. I will greatly miss my caregivers. Care With Love helped me through the most difficult time I've ever had as an adult. I am so grateful for their help~ Would I recommend them?? YES! Emphatically! Would I use them in the future if needed? Absolutely!!! Should YOU pick up the phone and call Care with Love?? You BET!

This started with a 3 fusion neck spine, Inova Alexandria Hospital then Inova Mount Vernon (IMV)…read morethen Alexandria Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center (ARHC). At IMV I had one-on-one with PT (physical therapy), OT (occupational therapy) and SLP (speech language pathology) therapies, eight days, 21 hours. If I am wrong and the first day did not have any therapies then there were "only" 18 hours. That is real rehabilitation. ARHC is not rehabilitation. There were seven full days, the first was Friday and and absolutely no therapy on that Friday. All ARHC therapies are half hours. l add two more just to help things so there are better; that's 4 hours. To make it "fair" I'll chop off one IMV day to get them equal; that's 15 hours. ARHC is 27% compared for the same numbers of days. Rehabilitation? At ARHC I do not know if there is any SLP at ARHC; I did not get any SLP. The PT and OT staff are pretty good but have an environment not easy. Most have two or some even have more than two patients and few patients are just sitting on a chair. The "gym" is small and and the equipment very few, not good. Two exercise bicycles, a new one where the hand bar and pedals have no connection, strange and never to use again. An older and much better but the LEDs all gone so the therapy used their cell phone and tells a few things while someone else is doing something slow and more time. Most of the time were with 3 pound dumbballs, watched and counted but after twice done almost alone. The balance board was also good with the therapy placed to catch if I stumbled or let me between two rails. I've had bowel problems. That cause was not the ARHC staff. The problem was that after the mess it took more than 10 minutes to not get help with the red button. There were about 30 feet from my door with about four staff were chatting real loud (if not screaming) and I left my door not wearing any pants going to the other end to the desk at the hall end. Someone caught me real fast (not physical) and got back to fix it. That helped clean me up but it took more than a day to get the toilet and floor "reasonably" clean but not really clean. The food was the worst I have ever had. To be honest I am very picky and that does not mean that I what I like is what most people do like. But how could every patient get exactly the same thing that every one gets? How well do almost everyone think cooked food that is barely warm is OK. Some do actually have warm parts, but only in the middle and bottom on the plate, or you learn that you can get your plate heated in the microwave with those who bring and take the food. I like oatmeal cereal, when I cook it as the box says and use some milk and sugar. I tried them several times and spit them out. They were mostly cool not warm, sticky, tasteless, some lumpy, other times ground to nothing. I like scrambled eggs; these were OK and I ate all even if not warm. I ate about 20% of what I was willing the entire time I was there. The last full day I had a dizzy like never before and they put me in a wheelchair. They use a cuff and my heart was about 80/50 or 50/80. They sort of said I needed to eat if I wanted to live. I think that's enough. george.shaffer@comcast.net

After years of trying to find the right mental health provider, I finally feel like I'm in the…read moreright hands with Mary Hart-Johnson, a highly trained and board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. She is the first provider I've seen who genuinely listens. Most of my past appointments with other doctors felt rushed and focused only on renewing prescriptions, but she actually takes the time to talk with you and understand what's going on. That alone sets her apart. She goes far beyond quick check-ins. She asks thoughtful questions, remembers your history, and works with you to figure out what's helping and what isn't. If someone wants a fast prescription with minimal conversation, she isn't the right fit. But if you want a provider who truly engages with your care, she is exceptional. I also appreciate her balanced approach. She prescribes medication when it's needed, but she also recommends vitamins and supplements to support brain health so you aren't relying solely on pharmaceuticals. It's not an extreme holistic approach and it's not a medication-only mindset. She blends both in a thoughtful, evidence-based way that supports long-term improvement. Over time, I've felt more supported and more understood by her than with any other mental health provider I've seen. She looks at the full picture, not just the symptoms on a chart, and that makes a meaningful difference in how I manage my conditions. If you're looking for someone who combines expertise, compassion, and real attention to your needs, I highly recommend Mary Hart-Johnson, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC. Five stars without hesitation.

This time, the tech couldn't find a vein and became increasingly frustrated. She stabbed me again, with no luck, and then ended appointment. Said they could only try twice per patient. Unfortunately, I had to have the pre screening performed soon because surgery was scheduled. They sent me down the street, to "LabCorp," where I had to make yet ANOTHER appointment for the next day. An appointment I had to pay for but fortunately actually got results. Now, they are trying to get paid for this failure. No results. Waste of my time, two trips. No bloodwork or results from them, just a bill?! Anxiety off the chart. Just what you need before a surgery. Awful experience and will never go back.
