Hillsborough County Testimonials

“Senior Home Companions are responsible people that understand the problems of the elderly. They know how it can be done so a person can continue to live in their home; it takes a senior person to „roll with the punches' that occurs in life. My caregiver, Gail, is wonderful…marvelous!”

- Wallace Dombrow

“I've had Senior Home Companions with me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for several years and have never had any problems. Peggy always makes sure the ladies that care for me know what they're doing. I've had several of the same caregivers since I started with Senior Home Companions.”

- Marian Hasselo

“Thank you for responding to my phone call so quickly. The two caretakers you sent to help us with our Mother have been wonderful, and she's not an easy person to please! Her doctor was right when he said you'd take great care of our Mom as well as us”

Pat,
Senior Home Companions service has allowed Mary (my mother-in-law) to remain in her own home and be treated with care, kindness and love. Mary began using Senior Home Companions over 6 years ago following a fall in her home. She was not eating properly and was not providing herself with the most rudimentary activities of daily living.
The service started out with just a few hours per week and has increased over time to full time companion services. Mary is now 95 years old and is still in her own home. This has been accomplished with a minimum of changes in staff. One companion has been with her for the entire 6 years. We have never had a cancellation of service due to the lack of someone able to be with her. My husband and I have been totally satisfied with the service and highly recommend the service as a wonderful way to provide care for a loved one.

Sincerely,
Pat Chamness/Fort Myers, Florida

Dear Pat,
Best wishes for a happy healthy 2008 to you and your loved ones. I want to thank you for the lovely day book. I carry one in my purse at all times, and give away the old ones to people who need help, and don't know how to find any. My caregiver has been a wonderful help to me. We are both great readers and discuss books with each other. She “feels” to me like a perfect substitute family member. In June I will be 88 years old. I think one reason I have lived so long is the peace of mind your organization makes possible. Thank you for allowing me to live in my own home feeling cared for.

Sincerely Yours,
Caroline Crabtree/Cape Coral Florida

“Thank you so very much for being such an important part of our family's life! We are blessed to have my mother Edith, age 93, live so close to us and share in both daily events and special occasions. The help and support that Senior Home Companions has provided us has allowed us to continue enjoying our lives in our homes. A very special difference that you personally have made is your insight, wisdom, professionalism and intuition. When you came to get acquainted with us you were quickly able to assess the level of care and quality of companionship that my mother would best benefit by. With that knowledge, you introduced Dottie to us and our lives have all been better because of her caring, cheerful nature, and willingness to be a part of our lives. She is now a very important part of our lives, and constantly makes me feel that my mother's care, health and happiness are in the very best of loving hands. What a joy she is to us! Thank you, Sharon, for caring, for listening, for responding and for helping our entire family.”

Warmest personal regards to you always,
Eileen

“Sharon, our family will never forget what a special person you are. Our Dad was safe and happy all winter because of the special caregivers you found for him. The team could not have been better for his happiness and well being.”

“Thank you so much for helping my parents by providing a crew of very capable, professional, and caring helpers during my dad's recovery from surgery. The situation was pretty overwhelming, and you and your organization proved to be invaluable! I would not hesitate to recommend your services (Senior Home Companions) to anyone. Your staff of caregivers and you deserves to be quite proud of the job done. We want you to know we appreciate all you have put in to seeing that the care was seamless, and I'd like to especially commend Eileen for her record keeping, communication between doctors, staff and family, and her excellent organizing skills. Thank you from my heart.”
