Training

The home helpers team in reston helped me care for my mother during the last couple years of her life. My mother had dementia and was a fall risk so she required full time care. They provided care givers for each stage and they were all caring and compassionate. I would recommend, and have recommended them, to anyone who needs support for their aging parent.  

home helpers did an amazing job of helping my wife when she became sick. the aides were caring and skilled. home helpers made a huge difference in her quality of life and i will always be grateful to them.  

Our family's experience with Home Helpers in Ashburn has been great. When Mom was diagnosed with dementia we decided to have her stay home with help instead of a facility. Now we have a live in caregiver, who is with Mom every day, helps Mom with everything, and is wonderful. We've been with Home Helpers for about 4 years, and through that time the caregivers have been very skilled and caring, and the Home Helpers staff and ownership has been very helpful as well. And they have always been reliable, which is a comfort. Have been very happy with them.  

Home Helpers cared for my father. His caregiver was very compassionate and caring.

I had two total knee replacements in a six-month period. I was lucky to find Home Helpers well before my first surgery. They assessed my recovery needs as well as my living space, indicating what needed to be changed to keep me safe. I had 24-hour live-in care for the first few days and really needed it. I felt safe in every way, with all my needs anticipated and cared for. I booked help again when the second surgery date rolled around. each of the care givers was patient, kind, and supportive. If I need help again, I know exactly where to go.  

hOME HELPERS PROVIDED WONDERFUL CAREGIVER SERVICES TO MY MOTHER AND STEPFATHER FOR MANY YEARS IN THEIR OWN HOME BEFORE THEY EVENTUALLY PASSED. IN MANY WAYS, HOME HELPERS BECAME PART OF OUR EXTENDED FAMILY OVER THIS PERIOD. THE COMMUNICATION WAS FANTASTIC, AND WE ALWAYS FELT THAT WE HAD A GOOD GRASP OF HOW THINGS WERE GOING IN BETWEEN OUR OWN VISITS TO THE HOUSE. tHE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CAREGIVERS PROVIDED BY HOME HELPERS OVER THE YEARS WERE OUTSTANDING, AND NEW CAREGIVERS WERE PROMPTLY ASSIGNED ON THOSE RARE OCCASIONS WHEN MY MOTHER OR STEPFATHER HAD A CAREGIVER THAT FELL SHORT OF THIS STANDARD. iN MY VIEW, tHE TRUE TEST OF A HOME CARE SERVICE PROVIDER IS HOW THINGS ARE HANDLED WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG, BECAUSE SOME ISSUES ARE BOUND TO ARISE WHEN CARE IS PROVIDED ON A DAILY BASIS OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. hOME HELPERS PASSED THIS TEST WITH FLYING COLORS. aNY ISSUES WE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE MANAGEMENT WERE DEALT WITH SWIFTLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. mY MOTHER COULD BE A DIFFICULT CLIENT AT TIMES -- SHE LIKED THINGS DONE A CERTAIN WAY AND DID NOT RESPOND WELL IF THINGS WERE DONE AT ALL DIFFERENTLY. however, LISA AND HER STAFF DEVEOPED A FANTASTIC REPOIRE WITH MY MOTHER, AND THERE WAS A MUTUAL AFFECTION THAT WAS WONDERFUL TO WITNESS. IN HER LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, MY MOTHER DEVELOPED ALZHEIMERS (WHICH MY STEPFATHER ALSO SUFFERED FROM). IT WAS DIFFICULT TO WITNESS MY MOTHER, WHO HAD ALWAYS BEEN SHARP AS A TACK AND FIRMLY IN CONTROL, GRADUALLY LOSE HER SHORT-TERM MEMORY AND BECOME RELIANT ON ASSISTANCE WITH WHAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN SIMPLE TASKS. sHE AND MY STEPFATHER WERE ALWAYS TREATED WITH DIGNITY AND COMPASSION, AND THIS GREATLY HELPED THEM THROUGH THESE DIFFICULT YEARS. tHANKS TO HOME HELPERS, OUR PARENTS WERE ABLE TO AGE GRACEFULLY IN PLACE AT THEIR HOME, AND WE WERE ABLE TO REST COMFORTABLY KNOWING THEY WERE IN GOOD HANDS WHEN WE WERE NOT PRESENT. whenever THERE WAS A HEALTH ISSUE OR OTHER PROBLEM, WE KNEW THAT WE WOULD RECEIVE A CALL AND THAT LISA, THE NURSING STAFF, AND/OR THE CAREGIVERS WOULD TAKE WHATEVER TIME WAS NEEDED TO ASSIST US IN FIGURING OUT THE BEST SOLUTION. often THESE DISCUSSIONS LED TO SOLUTIONS I WOULD NOT HAVE FOUND ON MY OWN. WHEN IT CAME TIME TO MAKE ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT DECISIONS, SUCH AS WHETHER TO START HOSPICE SERVICES, IT WAS A GREAT COMFORT TO HAVE PEOPLE WE DEEPLY TRUSTED WILLING TO TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN AND HELP US THINK THINGS THROUGH.
