When the doctor referred us to this "home hospice" we didn't realize there are several different…read moreagencies. At first it sounded great, but this organization CAUSED way more stress than they alleviated - for the patient and family. They belittled her decision to want to die in a facility (preferably Branford inpatient hospice or a hospital) and kept insisting that she should want to be at home. Medication was left with no clear instructions about dosage and timing. Appointments were ignored and staff would "drop by" when they felt like it (often waking everyone in the household up after sleepless nights). When we tried to get her into a nursing home because they said she wasn't "ready" for in-patient hospice (unable to walk, not eating, yelling that she wanted to go to hospice and die) they directed us to file for chapter 19 at the Access Health... wasted HOURS and finally figured out the resource was somewhere totally different (I think it was the government site). Personnel in the home appeared to be looking at personal papers on tabletops. The home health aid was the only one who really helped, after weeks of having her not cleaned up. To be fair, one of the on-call nurses was very caring and helpful with late night medication questions. They often would not wear masks and some used the restroom and didn't even wash their hands! Family did not want them living in the home, so the only alternative from them was letting adult children figure out how to lift and move her from bed to bathroom to couch - always a painful experience, physically and mentally. Thankfully, she got her wish and was finally admitted to inpatient hospice (excellent care). All I can say is that there are other choices and would not recommend this agency. Oh, and one last thing: when she passed away there was not one single card or other acknowledgement of sympathy from them.

How dumb of me to not take the time to find out about other companies in the home care business. After a dismal experience with Companions and Homemakers, I finally took some time to research for replacement help for my mother. From the very first phone call I could tell Golden Horizons is a quality organization. The owner, Lisa, came to meet my mother and me personally and the following day the assigned caregiver came (on a day off) to meet us. It has been a beautiful relationship from the very first day, and I can't say enough about this well-run company. Mary Anne

When we arrived, there was a sign that said closed due to renovating.. Fortunately, there were 2 women sitting out front, one taller woman who was in her approximate 60s and an older woman sitting around 80 years old. My wife approached both ladies and explained we had a couple of items to donate. The woman in her "60's" immediately in a loud offensive manner said WE'RE CLOSED, WE'RE RENOVATING!!!! AND WE DON'T TAKE THINGS ON FRIDAYS. My wife told her the website says you take things On Fridays. The lady in her 60s turned her back on my wife and walked away. I will never donate to Charlie's Closet again. The lady in her 80s did apologize to my wife.

The problem we have with COMFORT KEEPERS is they never send the same care giver more than twice. They will call in the middle of the week to change the day,time and care giver. Or they don't call at all and my Mom is sitting at home waiting. This past Saturday no one showed. I've called 3 times ( m,t,w) asking to have the manager/owner to call me back to discuss this continuous problem and she hasn't had the courtesy to return my calls. You would think that a company like COMFORT KEEPERS can see the benefit of keeping current customers happy rather then soliciting for new business. I do not recommend COMFORT KEEPERS and I hope you will consider this review when looking for care for your loved ones. I gave them one star because I couldn't post this with a rating.

After taking a medication that made me ill I threw up several times from my bed and the aid cleaned it up with towels and then left. The food was disgusting and barely edible.
