We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone dealing with the whole mess of the medical system.

I contacted Scott after reading about his services in the Rossmoor…read moreWeekly Newspaper. He could not have been more concerned about about my medical insurance situation. I have been paying about $750 a month with a $4,000 annual deduction. He graciously made a house call and immediately took charge to reduce my costs. Scott took my information and gave me what I consider an honest time frame to figure something better. Within a week he returned with a plan (and helped me get everything set up) --and now I am saving over $400 a month! I recommend Scott with a 5 star+ rating.

Jenny the owner of Senior Helpers and her amazing team of caregivers recently saved my day at a time of need -- so I know they can save yours! After interviewing several home health care agencies that serve my area I chose Senior Helpers to assist me with needed services post-surgery. Jenny and all of her caregivers were astonishing: utterly professional, consistently dependable and, perhaps most importantly, sincerely caring and compassionate toward their clients and about their work. And, Senior Helpers is very reasonably priced. I am deeply grateful for the assistance of Senior Helpers at a critical time of need. I will continue to use them in the future to help with tasks made difficult due to aging and physical disability. You have a great team, and run an excellent business, Jenny. Thanks so much!!!

When my dad passed, my mom moved to another beautiful apartment and continued to thrive. She loves to play daily games (bingo and rummikub) and share meals and social gatherings with her close friends. In the rare cases that she needed extra assistance medically, the staff was attentive, kind and caring and they communicated well with me. The activity directors have been wonderful and creative, making everyday life fun and active for the residents. We've also enjoyed and developed relationships with many of the staff members.

The name says it all! We have used this wonderful, local caregiving service for my elderly mom for…read moreover 3 years. At first I needed just a few hours several days a week of relief/support with light housekeeping, daytime supervision, medications and meals. By last October my mother's mental and physical health was deteriorating to the point where she could no longer be safely left alone and I was worn out, so we made the transition to 24/7 caregivers. It was easier than I'd anticipated and has been a huge relief. Francis and his staff are unfailingly responsive, friendly, reliable and know this business inside out. He "got" my mom immediately and has been terrific at selecting caregivers that provide a good match for her. EC@H offers time block options, flexibility, pricing and hand-picked caregivers that you can't get with a big national company (we tried one for a while--lots of billing errors, difficult to communicate with, not very carefully screened caregivers!). Our caregivers from EC@H are wonderful: respectful, kind, careful, well-trained. They've followed "to a tee" the COVID protocols set by Francis throughout the pandemic. I'm so thankful for their sacrifices to keep my mom safe! My mother has gone from initially rejecting the idea of "strangers" in her home to accepting and actually thriving on the daily routine, stimulation and loving attention! I can't recommend Excellent Care at Home highly enough!
