"Nancy, as I manage through my grieving of my parents, I think fondly of you and your team. The support and care you provided to not only my parents as they managed their journey, but to me was kind and considerate. Everyone on the team always knew what to say to ease our worries. Augusta was our angel in her devotion to mom and dad. Thank you for entering our lives and helping us through such a sad time." -- Lisa A.

"As for our caregiver, who was with us for the entire stay at home and who - to me - is the "face" of your company: I just couldn't say enough good things about the lady. Not only does she know and follow the technical guidelines of her profession (I am a former Physical Therapist and can attest that she was "spot-on" in terms of those parts of the care that would be most familiar to me), but she delivers care with more than a modicum of compassion and understanding - very genuine. I feel fortunate that my Aunt was in her care and I'm sure you already realize, but I will reinforce, how fortunate your organization and your patients are to have her on your team." Paul F.

Holiday tip: If you have younger loved ones, have the Easter egg hunt on your older loved one's front or backyard. That way they can watch from the windows.

"Thank you to ComForCare in assisting me during Harold's post-op recovery. You set my mind at ease. Naomi was very helpful as she interviewed us and evaluated Harold. Jessica in scheduling was helpful when our aide's schedule had to be changed due to a doctor's appointment. We always looked forward to the days that Harold's aide Erika would come to assist him. She always arrived on time. She was very cheerful and encouraging. Erika was very efficient as she assisted Harold with his daily care and making sure he performed his VNA PT isometric exercises. Harold enjoyed the lunches she prepared for him. Be assured, we will recommend ComForCare to family and friends. In the future, in the need ever arises, we will call on ComForCare again. " -- Jo Ann
