I waited a month after my mother's passing to write this review so I could have some distance and…read moreperspective from the events. I contracted with Alvita to care for my mother during the last two months of her life after she was injured in a fall. I paid for 24 hour home care seven days a week. Other than Fabienne, I found the caregivers sorely lacking in the most basic of qualities such as companionship and emotional support. Also, other than Fabienne, the one on one care for which they were hired (toileting, hygiene assistance, dressing, grooming, feeding, etc) was mostly delegated by them to the staff at the assisted living facility where my mother resided, which negated the whole point of hiring them in the first place. Chronic lateness was also the norm. Most arrived 10-20 minutes late for the start of the night shift The night shift crew was especially problematic. In addition to generally not performing the basic tasks for which they were hired ("it's not my job" was the common refrain, even though it literally was their job), they often did not even stay in the same room as my mother who was a fall risk. Some slept on the sofa in the living room during the night shift, some spent the night shift doing schoolwork in a separate room, and some spent hours of the night shift on their phone in the hallway outside of the apartment. The complaints became so numerous from the staff at the assisted living facility and from the hospice nurses that I eventually had to change agencies for the night shift. Three of the low points during the Alvita night shift require special mention. (1) There was the night that my mother sat in her own feces for the entirety of the night. When Hospice arrived in the morning, the waste was dry and hard and had been there all night, despite a 12 hour Alvita shift. (2) Many nights, my mother was put to bed at 7 PM for convenience sake without any social interaction or kindness on the part of the aide. (3) My mother suffered a skin tear on her arm the night after I complained about the aides sleeping on the job. I was told that she injured herself, but there are no witnesses other than the Alvita aide involved. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Fabienne. She was the primary Alvita daytime aide for my mother. Fabienne went above and beyond the call of duty. She exuded kindness and compassion. She took the utmost care of my mother and treated her with dignity and respect. When Fabienne was on the job, the staff at the assisted living facility and the hospice staff took a break because everyone knew that she had everything under control. This is the level of care advertised by Alvita and the level of care that I paid for, but only Fabienne met the mark. Not only did she meet expectations, but she blew everyone away with her level of care.

After that it went severely down hill to the point that it became dangerous. They aides did not show up. I was told they were on their way including the destination they were coming from but then they said they were 3 hours away not 30 mins, and then wouldn't be there until tomorrow. Which then they didn't show up for a 2nd day! This left my wheelchair bound parents without anyone in the house! And my mother was transitioning to hospice care so needed someone. The team who knew this did not call me in the morning to let me know of the delay (and ultimate no show) and gave the excuse of we don't call people before 7am as it's too early?! WHAT? You are leaving people without care - the sooner we know of your incompetence the sooner I can try and fill the gap!! The wonderful nighttime aides I hired on my own texted to let me know that someone didn't show up at 6am when they were supposed to. Yet the coordinator wasn't calling until 7am?? Then when reaching out to owners, operating officers or anyone I spoke to in the selling process I was even more disappointed. They do not care about your loved ones. They do not know how to handle an emergency let alone business as usual. I dropped them as soon as I could find someone else to step in. It was the worst experience and we have had bad experiences. Do not believe the personable touch you get in the beginning. I actually thought I might be friends with them (Christine) but there was no response after frantic reach outs trying to find coverage for their no shows. Nope she wanted nothing to do with me. The treatment and utter lack of accountability or compassion was staggering. I can not stress this enough- BEWARE of this sham of an organization. I can not select less than 1 star, but when you leave people without care, without caring, you should not even receive 1 star...

The evening that my mother past away, was one of the evenings that no one showed nor were any replacements sent. And to add insult to injury the following evening an aid showed up which the agency had never cancelled. Lastly, the owner of the agency never even called to express condolences after my mother's passing. For the out of pocket cost that I was paying, I expected more professionalism.
