Essentially you simply call her up, describe the situation and she fairly quickly will arrive at your house to give a general diagnosis. Of course it works best for kids, who are sick so often but usually have nothing worse than a cold or an ear infection. So it's a great time saver. But more importantly is that Heidi has a wonderful manner and disposition that makes her a joy to welcome into your house.

I cannot say enough good things about this company and its meeting of its promises. Please note that they offer two types of caregivers: contractors and staff. Don't be cheap and pick the contractors. Pay the minimal extra, and you will get huge benefits of support from the professional staff.

Adult Companion Care (ACC) provided seamless professional, reliable, loving, and personal home care…read moreservices for our family at a time when we needed support. Within one hour of a late night online request for help (for our 92 year old father) from various agencies, a personal response (rather than computer generated) came in from Jim Lindsey (President/CEO) who suggested connecting by the phone the following day; that conversation the next day was the second huge encouragement for us as we sensed genuine interest, empathy, concern and understanding of our situation. He set up an initial home visit assessment/evaluation, and this turned out to be a wonderful experience because there was no sense of feeling rushed or pressed. In addition, everything was clear and transparent. Afterwards, we had some weeks before our need for in-home care, but we could call ACC at any point before services to have additional questions answered or to update needs or changes. From speaking to various team members, it was clear that this company worked as a respectful and well-coordinated "family". Our close-knit family is very involved in the care of our 92-year-old father, who has a good number of chronic conditions and medical/health issues that need to be understood in order to care for him properly. Complete and careful body care/hygiene, good nutrition and prevention of illness or other conditions were important for us in our short-term need for services, but much more of our concern was our father's mental health and sense of feeling secure and understood by someone outside of the home. Our mother, 88, who did not herself need physical services, nonetheless, needed someone who could reassure her and who would be sensitive emotionally to both of them, in addition to doing things she could not do for my father that required special skills. From the first time we met Fatmata, the certified nursing assistant assigned by ACC, we were immediately impressed and reassured. She was a perfect fit for us, and my mother shared that it was like having one of her daughters around. We are four sisters and one brother who provide care for our parents. In other words, the caregiver needed to fill in for over a week and take care of a man who was under the observation and love of many family members. In ACC's complimentary hour of orientation/training, the daughter, who is a nurse, was impressed by Fatmata's manner as she was exceptionally intuitive, observant, and attentive with a high level of sensitivity and compassion. Although there was some initial adjustment for my father because he was missing his regular daily caregivers, after a couple of days, he was genuinely thanking Fatmata for her help. We are deeply grateful for Adult Companion Care and their dedication, personal care, and willingness to work with us to find the best support for our father so that he could remain comfortable and safe at home. With heartfelt thanks, the Duerbecks, Macks, Greenes, Olsens, and Swailes.

The schedulers are incredibly patient, kind, and HONEST about what they can and can't do, which was such a big change. They also have some truly world class caregivers. There were some bad ones too, but in the end there were two people (Queen and Libby) who were simply incredible and were such a blessing to have caring for Mom. They have a relatively small pool of staff who can do lifting / transferring, but the ones they have are mostly good. They definitely tried to match our needs with their people, and as we provided feedback the matches got much better. They didn't have enough staff to provide full 24/7 care but worked with me as I filled the gaps with private folks. When they saw a snowstorm coming they would plan to have someone stay there for 2-3 days to prevent caregivers from not showing up due to bad road conditions. I have to subtract one star just for some of the bad caregiver experiences, and because billing turned out to be a bigger hassle with them than with other companies, but if I had to recommend a home care company in the DC area to someone else, it would without question be this one.

The nursing and social working staff were knowledgeable, patient, and supportive to help us, the family, with the transition. There was so much going on, with emotions on edge, as we were quickly transferred from home into the Center as our family member's care needs changed. Some families cannot provide the best hospice care at home. Halquist is a lovely facility as an alternative. The doctor on staff at Halquist is a quiet and competent angel, somehow managing in-house patient needs with home visits to care for clients. The nursing staff is competent and tolerant of family members that are at the Center to support the patient. Can you imagine having someone intrude on your workspace, and then, leave? I observed the staff work additional hours to get the job done, regardless of when their shift ended. Dedication to service is easy to see all around. Staff are supported by volunteers, some of which have been there for decades. Carlos, the day chef, is an institution with homemade soups and food orders that are delicious and affordable. In an imperfect world, Halquist is a little slice of heaven where the social worker, medical, and volunteer staff work as a team to provide compassionate care at the last stage life. They are intuitive to recognize the needs of the patient, and the family. My only recommendation is to smooth the transition between daily nursing staff so there is better continuity. God Bless Halquist Center and the important service they provide.
