The liability upon the company and their caregivers is a good recipe for a lawsuit or worse waiting to happen. I see reviews from years ago and the same is still happening. Communication between company and patients is ridiculous and not accommodating for the patient, nor for the caregiver. All they care about is a warm body to care for patients with or without experience. That is really bad.

I was told they could help and another person would call for details and to make arrangements. No body called for a week. I called them again and was told someone would call that day. Nobody ever called - not even to tell me they could or could not help, leaving me hanging with surgery just a week away. This company showed NO interest in following through, or in anything approaching customer service.

When someone is ready to go, it is important someone there to guide you if the patient doesn't want…read moreto go elsewhere BUT stay @ home with their families UNTIL it's time for them to leave earth. That's exactly where the Hospice & Palliative Care came in to help when needed. They provided my home comfort for my mom, in 2008, when she decided to come live with me. They called in for everything SHE NEEDED, to make her life easier: bed, support, someone to come clean her, do her nails, and I can call them anytime day or night - someone is always on the phone ready for my questions or whatever I needed. I'm not a caregiver, nor have I ever worked in a hospital, nor would I ever want to, . . . but I became one instantly, just because I have that 'mother experience - two kids of my own,' and taking care of a mother was difficult specially if she became a tantrum teenager @ almost 91 years old. Very difficult indeed! It was also a chance for her & me to bond, with a happy ending. But that's not why I'm reviewing, just something to think about, why I NEVER gave up. She was my mom, afterall! Hospice & Palliative Care made it easy for me, because they are always there to guide me, & support me and give me advice, or comfort me when I'm breaking bad, and calm me down take charge once again. My mom was able to eat foods she used to eat @ home, or when she was younger . . . the hospital or any care giving home wouldn't have given her choices. Mom was able to get help when she rang the bell, or if she needed help just to go to the bathroom, or for a walk outside in my backyard, in the comfort of our secluded private backyard and a driveway where she can easily walk her walker. Or do that by herself, while I sit in my hammock, doing my quilting or reading a book, or tending my roses. Sometimes, when I visit people in hospice care, elsewhere, I feel nothing but sadness for them, because their families are nowhere to be found, or seldom visits them. They have no views in their room, but 4 walls. In my home, mom had enough to keep her entertained, and she could see my garden from her bed, or listen to piano playing next room, or someone to pray with her everyday, or read poems to her. She always have my husband & me, or families 24hrs. day or night. The Hospice & Palliative Care, care about safety, medications, equipment we were using, and they'd want us to ask questions and to help us understand the care I'm giving mom. They listen. I believe that is was also important that the doctor they provided also understands my mom's illness and they succeeded and will recommend Providence Home Services to anyone. With their help, I think I gave mom the best care she needed with their help.

This review is late in its arrival, but WELL worth the mention. After my first total knee…read morereplacement surgery (12/17), we decided i would get post-op caregiver service for the second total knee replacement surgery (12/18). I learned that my husband couldn't be there for me when he was getting burned out from neglecting his own well being. After 'researching' the caregiver details, features, specifics, etc., then contacting the contenders, it was incredible to find the one caregiver service in which the company worked with my criteria versus meeting theirs. Chris was and is very thorough with an almost intuitive approach in customizing his services that met my needs. From the initial phone call to the resulting transportation & available caregiver services, the words that come to mind in describing Chris and his excellent team would be thoroughness, professional, cooperative, and understanding. I know, I know: it sounds too good to be true, but in this case it really was and is. Thank you Portland In-Home Care.
