I was scheduled for outpatient surgery in Durham. My friend was lined up to take me, but just in…read morecase she wasn't able to, I called Seniors Helping Seniors to find out if they offered rides, etc. Just information gathering In the next breath, I was told "Dee" would come by to meet me. At first, it seemed odd, but then thought I guess they want to confirm that I am who I say I am. Friday morning Dee arrived. Sat herself down and started talking and talking (mostly about herself). After about 90 minutes, I was totally confused and told her I had to leave for a doctor's appt. She was surprised I hadn't been told it was a 2 hour meeting. Dee hurriedly gave me some forms to complete so I questioned her several times if I was signing up for anything. She assured me no! Then, because I had to leave, she said she would stop by for financial info. Now it is definitely seeming weird. Well, here she comes the next day and wants my bank account info. Long story short: Around 4:00 pm, 15 days from my surgery I get a text asking for the name and number of my surgeon. I was shocked!!! I explained I never requested service: I had to be in Durham by 6 am and yet they had me scheduled for 8-5 care at $42/hr. (I'm sure there was a method to their madness, waiting until almost the close of business to contact me. If I hadn't seen that text late on the 15th day, they would have taken the full amount for 9 hours at $42 an hour from my bank account. They tried to scam me out of a huge amount of money, plus considering they have no medical credits, why did they want to talk to a very busy surgeon? I then emailed the head of the agency: no response: which told me a lot about them. I am now going to contact the agency that licenses them. They should not be allowed to be in business.

I appreciated that they didn't require a 4hr minimum like most other places. I just needed a couple of hrs 3 days a wk to give me a break. The 2 caregivers we had were wonderful and my Mom looked forward to them coming. I especially loved the website where I could check to see what she had eaten and what they had done. That was a great help. The owner, Kathy, was wonderful to work with as well. Unfortunately my mom needed more help after a hospital stay and we had to go to a nursing facility. I sure wish I had started them sooner while she was in better health! I highly recommend them. Robin, daughter

Some of the workers are gems, but the ownership feels sketchy to me. Buyer beware.
