Samantha has been a joy to have as a caregiver. She truly cares about my father and always has his interest and well being in mind. We feel lucky to have her and can rest assured he is being well taken care of. She has been reliable, responsible and respectful. He is doing so much better and is stronger and healthier since having a caregiver!

Because of the wonderful people at Home Helpers, my mom was able to stay in the comfort and f her own home. They were very thoughtful in selecting the right caregivers who matched her personally and comfort level. The caregivers were so kind and loving towards my mom and we are forever grateful for that. We were very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend them!

"When my 94 year old mother could not take care of herself after a hospital stay in January of 2020, Michael Gonzalez and his staff went right to work for me. She needed someone to be with her at all times, help with meals, bathing, etc. Within a week, we had 24 hour care started and a plan to continue for as long as needed. As my mother got stronger, we weaned off the care to less and less until she was able to care for herself to the best of her ability. They did everything requested and more. All I needed to do was make a phone call to the staff, and someone would get right back to me for any help or changed needed. Since this was during the beginning of the COVID pandemic as well, the kept us informed of all safety standards, PPE, mask mandates at all times. All employees were professional and took great care of my mother. My family and I would highly recommend Michael Gonzalez and his team for any help that you need."

"Our family used Home Helpers for several years to assist us in caring for our mom with advanced-stage Alzheimer's. They were terrific in every aspect of caring from always scheduling a caregiver when we needed one most to providing compassionate, loving care to a person with complex needs. They treated our Mom with all the love, dignity, and support they would provide their own. I cannot recommend their services highly enough."

"Home Helpers is just amazing! I’ve been working with Michael and Thomas. My mom has dementia and she has mood swings and we can’t leave her at home. Michael found us and he worked really hard to make sure it was a good match for my mom. My brother got married a few weeks back and we asked for Michelle to be her caregiver that day. Michelle is the best caregiver for her. She came out and took care of my mom and she was great. They were always polite and on time. Absolutely nothing bad thing to say. I highly recommend them to others."

"My sister worked at Edward’s Hospital and I was looking for a caregiver. She went to the office and found that Home Helpers was on the hospital’s list. So she got me the name and called them and hired them. They’re very good. I have an excellent caregiver, Liz, who is always there if you need her. When I call, she’s there. I had 3 or 4 other services and Home Helpers is the best I ever had for 2 and a half years now. My caregiver is such a good cook and good at cleaning the house. She does my shopping real well. She takes care of me. I’d be lost without her."
