"This company's philosophy of employing people who truly care about their clients was very evident to our family when our parents needed help recently. Everyone - from management on down- was genuinely interested in our parents and their needs. Compassionate and caring, they treated our parents like their own. I am particularly grateful for one of the aides, Mistry, who discovered my father's extremely low blood pressure. This discovery landed him in the ICU for several days. Time was of the essence and we believe the time and care she took resulted in a life saved. RAH was a blessing to us. I HIGHLY recommend them!"

"As the person who spends 5 twenty four hour days with my Father in-law Fred Modrak I wanted you to know how much the family appreciates RAH staff member Charlie Kline. Each day she brings energy, enthusiasm, and a bright encouraging outlook to her patient Fred. She is very thorough, detail oriented, and dedicated to the tasks at hand. She creates an environment that Fred responds to very well. Charlie is confident in what she is doing, very safety minded, and provides a wealth of knowledge to all us. We greatly appreciate Charlie's professionalism and her willingness to help all of us with the process of caring for Fred. Charlie is an outstanding representative of RAH. I just wanted you to know. They say that success is in the people who work for you - I hope you have a hundred Charlies."

"Just a note of thanks for all the care provided to our father, Jim S., over the past year. Ever since he lost his mobility, we were in a quandary as to whether we would be able to provide the care for him necessary to maintain the quality of life that we all so desired. The supplemental assistance provided by Right at Home enabled us to keep Jim in our home without compromising the care that was needed. The care provided by your staff was exemplary. Jim looked forward daily to the conversation and the great company that was provided by Rennie, Emily, Michael and Tanya. They all exhibited great teamwork and as caregivers, provided Dad with the loving care and assurance that his needs were always satisfied. Dad, as well as your staff, will always be remembered in our hearts and prayers. Please do not hesitate to use our name as a reference for any prospective clients. I am recently retired from the healthcare industry and can attest to the competency of your staff and would highly recommend your services without any hesitation Charlie is an outstanding representative of RAH. I just wanted you to know. They say that success is in the people who work for you - I hope you have a hundred Charlies."

"Jenny is wonderful for my 94 yr old mother. Jenny is cheerful, kind, efficient, concerned, and encourages my mother to join in daily activity. Jenny communicates with me making good suggestions for improvement (shower chair). I believe Jenny has enhanced my mother's health, safety, and happiness. Thank you for this peace of mind - I live 500+ miles away."

"It is my pleasure to write to you about Diane, our home health aide. As the wife of her client, I am so relieved to know that my husband is in her kind hands when I leave for work. Diane is just the right amount of 'doing' without taking over our home. She lets Mike 'lead' what he wants/needs to do on each of her visits and helps him wholeheartedly. Diane is thoughtful as she carefully watches over Mike. She encourages him while he completes his assigned exercises."
