To me and my sister, this was a peaceful and tranquil place to spend the last week of our father's…read morelife with. We tried to do it at home, but he was too sick. The nurses, doctors and staff at LCF Lifecare were more than attentive not just to Dad's needs, but ours as well. We felt at home for that week. And we felt that Dad was more comfortable there than he would have been at home. The tranquility alone. Even the lighting in the room made it better. And it was quiet. He'd been in a hospital and then a SNF prior to this so life had been chaos. This was nothing like that. And not having to worry about cooking dinner each day b/c there was usually always a donation of food in the kitchen. Each room has it's own outdoor private sitting area with plenty of nature, streams, trails surrounding the building to take walks, sit, read, etc. I just feel that it was very peaceful there and took away a lot of the the stress that may have been experienced at home.

They make empty promises and are not going to help when something goes terribly wrong. They talk you into "letting your loved one go". Don't let them tell you that they will help extend life as long as possible, believe me, it will end quickly. One day my family member was sitting up in the hospital talking, and laughing with a lollipop and 2 yrs of life estimated by doctors. The patient went home that day with hospice for assistance only, not end of life care. They had an emergency situation come up, that needed immediate help in which instead of recommending a hospice revoke and hospitalization, they **talked my family into seeing that "letting go was best for us all" because they had been through enough. They died 31 hours later. We never said goodbye. We live with regret.

When my 97 year old aunt, who has some dementia, moved in with me we needed a consistent caregiver several times a week. We feel so fortunate to have found someone who not only brings her competent skills and caring attitude, but provides joy and laughter. In addition to the necessary care, she brings poems or an inspiring story to share and she plays my aunts favorite game of Rummikub. We look forward to the days she's here and I'm a little jealous because they have so much fun. Comfort Keepers staff has been so very supportive and attentive to our needs. I know my aunt is getting quality care while enjoying our caregiver's company, and that's a blessing! Laura W 6/26/21

My mom had met with the Right at Home folks- speaking to Jennifer and meeting in person with Liz- and was very impressed, When I started dealing with them- I was extremely impressed as well. They were so compassionate and so incredibly helpful. It was right around July 4th weekend when we were trying to start getting assistance which was difficulty to do and they went above and beyond to try and help us get the care we needed- going so far as to call other care groups to supplement when they did not have enough staff. Ultimately- my Dad died before care could begin. But knowing that they were there and so supportive the whole way along- was amazing. I recommend them fully and completely.
