I have been struggling with the words to thank you for the care Family Best provided for Jim during his journey. It was pure dumb luck that we contacted your organization – not knowing what we were doing – or what to ask for. I thank Heaven every day that I could trust my feelings about who you were without having to interview agencies – I would have asked all the wrong questions. What started out as care giving evolved into family. The main group – Bea, Margaret, Clara and Joseph – knew that they were taking care of more than Jim’s body – they cared for his spirit also. Alex, Florence and Benson also provided their own special contributions. The meals, the cleaning, the medical and the transporting of Jim were done with care and precision. But what mattered more than that was the respect they showed Jim as a human being – someone we loved and cared about. They brought laughter into the house when sometimes there was nothing to laugh about – and Jim loved Bea and Margaret’s laughter. The team shared his desire to try and improve – and when that no longer seemed a possibility they shared his final journey with him – not being afraid to talk about God’s love and what lay ahead for him. Their caring and understanding made Jim’s passing less fearful for him. I do not have words that can express how much that meant to our family, especially Scott and me. There was a seamless transition that your team made into our home and our lives. Even our dog, Cooper, got to benefit from it. What you brought to this house was a gift that we will benefit from for a long time. I do not know if all care givers possess this special talent – and I do not care. I believe God sent you to us to care for Jim in ways that we could not. The loving and caring spirit you brought each day to him was amazing. I know that he felt it in his heart every day. So in the end I am left with the simple words – thank you. But the words come from deep in my heart. Please let our lovely team know what a difference they made in our lives and how we will be forever in their debt for easing Jim’s physical and spiritual pain. My hope is that you can bring this comfort to many more families.

Peters Creek Retirement and Assisted Living has been utilizing the services of Family Best Care for quite some time now, and have found that they are incredibly resourceful, responsive, and dependable. When we need to use a temporary agency, it is important that there is an understanding of who we are and what we do so that the fit is appropriate. Abigael and Amanda came out here to visit our community and see for themselves what we require to be successful. From that point they worked to put together a group of caregivers who could come whenever the call came in from us for a need. They are able to fill same day for all shifts, and with quality staff. I have been very satisfied with the services I have received from Family Best Care. They take this responsibility seriously and come through every time, which is something our families and residents expect of us. Having them a phone call away in a pinch takes away some of the stress that staffing can bring.

We just wanted to say thank you for all the help and support you gave while we dealt with the difficult task of caring for Harold’s sister from a distance for us of about 1,700 miles. You were dependable, professional, and always cheerful, and we appreciate that. So, thank you again. Regarding Beatrice, what can we say but that without her stepping in to provide Ollie with her caring and loving presence and hands, we honestly could have not have gotten through the past month. Beatrice was reliable, knowledgeable, and took charge of the household with us being so far away. More importantly, Beatrice had a way of making Ollie feel important, and the two developed a close relationship. All this while Beatrice did the hard work of providing supervision and safety. In other words, she was wonderful!

It is my pleasure to highly recommend Ms. Abigael Wangombe and Family Best Care as the team for the care of your loved one in a time of need. When my elderly mother was in need of someone to be with her until she recovered her independence, the hospital gave me the typical overwhelming list of potential care givers. I was fortunate enough to call Abigael, and subsequently hear from several community service organizations that Family Best Care is high on their referral list. Indeed, the Family Best Care team stepped in with no notice, quietly and efficiently assumed the management of a difficult situation, compassionately stayed true to my mother’s needs despite the tendency to rail again the loss of independence, and scaled back gracefully as she recovered. It is comforting to know that as the final season of life approaches for my mother, I’ll have the support and assistance of Family Best Care to help manage the process.

Having dealt with two other home care providers over the past year, I can honestly say that Family Best Care is the model all companies should look to for truly the "Family Best Care."
