"Thank you for the respite that allowed my father to stay at home as long as he did. The breaks were very good for me to avoid burn-out.  The caregiver was great with my dad. He was one of the few people that could make my dad feel safe and comfortable."



"As a caregiver for my 95-year-old mother in my home, this service has allowed me respite care for out of town commitments, mainly doctor appointments. I am extremely grateful."



"I just want to say that this service has been a tremendous blessing to our family. The care providers are wonderful. My daughter likes them and is always pleased to know one of them is coming."



"No one can imagine just how much we care when someone, somewhere offers a helping hand."
