I was recently…read moretasked with the overwhelming responsibility of helping my cousin transition home from a rehabilitation center following a stroke. Since I live in another state, I was incredibly worried about how we would manage everything from a distance. Pat and his staff truly went above and beyond to ease that burden. They didn't just provide care; they made sure every detail of my cousin's home was safe and that every single one of his needs was met before he even walked through the door. What touched me the most was Pat's communication and selflessness. He kept me in the loop every step of the way, so I never felt 'in the dark' despite being miles away. He even gave up his own personal time to help, knowing I couldn't be there physically. If you are looking for a team that treats your family like their own, look no further than Gentle Touch. They are professional, reliable, and most importantly, deeply compassionate."

An update! The Aide that left me/her company in the lurch (job abandonment) showed up to my house…read morethe following day. I told her I already ended the contract w/the company. She said her boyfriend's car got impounded, so she decided to stay home (but never called the agency directly). I sent her packing and called the agency to ask the same on-call person (who said I would have no help all weekend) why she would send this irresponsible person to my house unannounced AND after I ended the contract. She said the Aide apologized last night via voicemail, so she let her come to my house. I asked why she didn't call to inform me this morning. She said she was busy and forgot! So Monday 9am, I talked to the caseworker (Mrs. H) and mngr (Christine?). They offered a bunch of apologies. They said the 'emergency/on-call person is supposed to call for additional assistance if they can't find an aide (a sorry excuse, if the emergency person does not know basic procedure). I made it clear that I have extensive experience in healthcare management, and I know how many mistakes were made in the handling of my case--their service is abysmal. I made it clear that I would pursue my complaint with the MLTC that same day, and there was no chance to continue my Mother's contract of service. I severed ties immediately. A WEEK LATER ON THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY (12/9) while I was working with an Aide from the new agency, there was a ring at my bell. It was my regular Aide who just returned from vacation. NO ONE AT 'HOME SWEET HOME/CATHIE'S CAR/NYHC' told her what happened, or that the contract was terminated!! They let her take TWO buses to my home for ME to tell her that the agency failed us both again and stood us up with no coverage while she was out. Once she left, I contacted the on-call person (a different woman from last week, more knowledgeable) and told her EVERYTHING that had taken place up until today. She was astounded. She said there was no information left on the case record showing they had lost my account. I told her I called the MLTC on Monday after I spoke to her manager (Christine), and the MLTC had the Medicaid paperwork completed and the new agency/Aide assigned by the Wed or Thurs. This poor communication had to be her manager's fault. I left word that Home Sweet Home is clearly negligent in their training, paperwork AND procedure and have no respect for the few good Aides they may have in their employ. Of course, I never heard back from the manager. As stated--I have experience in healthcare. I can honestly tell you, this is 'keystone cops' type of behavior. I have never seen so many errors in handling a simple case. No one likes to be a victim of someone's job abandonment, but what blows my mind is the obvious poor screening and hiring practices, as well as poor training and communication clearly evident in my case. MULTIPLE, EGREGIOUS errors. I never saw such terrible mismanagement of a routine case in my 12 years in healthcare. If they are this clueless on a day-to-day, what happens in serious situations? Inexcusable!

I hired attentive care services for my mother back in November-December of 2015. I was extremely…read moredisappointed with their services. I spoke to some lady named laura (I think) in the Hicksville office. She promised me 3 aides and full coverage for the times I needed. Let's just say that they were able to cover 20% of that. I had to take off from work 3 out of 5 days a week to take care of my mom because they didn't have coverage. To make matters worse, the aides are lazy, incompetent, and have bad attitudes. They charged my company (private LTC) insurance $23.00 an hour. Meanwhile the aides told me they only get $9-$13 an hour. To make matters worse, Tammy who is the scheduler is completely incompetent. I signed an "assignment of benefits" form to have my LTC company pay them directly. They took a few extra weeks to pay them and I received a collections letter from an attorney they hired in Albany, NY!!!!! Just to add insult to injury. I work for the company whom I have the LTC policy for my mom. I informed them and their 3rd party research firm called Care Scout to NEVER, EVER RECCOMEND THEM WHATSOEVER!!! I am also reaching out to some contacts to have them investigated formally.

This is the worse home care agency I've ever dealt with. Do not use this agency for your loved one…read more Most unprofessional company I've ever had to deal with in my 30 years of getting services. Please make sure you know what your doing before calling this company. There nurse Christy quit and I was never notified. I got a call from a second agency I use, Bayada, and they sent a nurse over to cover this agencies responsibility. I actually had to fill out all the paperwork for the Cordinator because they didn't know how to even do that. Then I had to train this nurse Christy because they don't train them on how to care for the client. They only had two days to cover and couldn't even manage to do that. If you need a great agency please call Bayada. They train all there nurses prior to sending them out to clients. Then the nurse is trained in the clients home by a nurse that's worked here and knows the case without leaving up to family members to train a nurse that doesn't seem to know what a nurse should know. Save your loved one from safe and sound. I now fired the agency.
