I would say our experience with this home care agency was a fair match. It was a learning experience, but overall a positive experience. I would some there is some room for improvement, but the service my mother received was responsible. I would look around at some other home care agency, before returning back to this one. I feel my mother needed more care than they were able to provide.

We used the services from this agency a couple of times. they sent different people for assistance and my mom didn't like the changes. The caregivers are very nice and courteous people.

I would have gone with them, but I didn't really click with the girl they sent out to meet us. It wasn't a good match for us.

Communication with Home matters was difficult. Our caregiver missed at least 3 days even though we were only having her come 2 days a week and we had just started service. We were not given any notice that our caregiver was not coming. Very disappointing. So we cut ties with them and went with another service

Well, response time from them seemed slow at times. Since I've not used any other service, I don't have anything to compare with them.

We had them late or not come and some one new. Then they don't know what to do. My mother is not happy with them. As of today we are done with them. I will be looking for someone eles . We were to get reports on mom and it only happened once for the months we have had them.

They took money out of my mom's account after she passed without authorization or notice. I feel they owe me still $[fee removed]. THEY CLAIM MY CARE TakER WORKED ExTRA HOURS.. I ASKED FOR THE SIGNED TIMESHEET AUTHORIZING THE EXTRA TIME. THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND.. NEVER DID. IT TOOK ME 4 EMAILS AND 5 PHONE CALLS BEFORE SOMEONe WOULD GET BACK TO ME. I WOULD NEVER IN MY LIFE RECOMMEND KATRIX. THE COMPANY IS HORRIBLE AND DISHONEST

There were too many things left hanging. Caretakers were very good and professional. [name removed] was fabulous. [name removed]...not so much. I was not happy with the deposit. It is chaos until you complain.

I would not recommend Kimbell Home Care Services to anyone looking.

My father needed care after rehab. I choose visiting angels based on the services they provide. I was very disappointed in the personnel they sent. They did not provide the services advertised. Calls and e-mails were not answered in a timely matter. There were times when no one showed up and no replacement was sent. Scheduling caregivers was difficult for them. I would not recommend using this service.

The quality of staff that had been sent to take care of my mom had dropped significantly in the past couple of years, and in the final year, no one care giver was ever assigned to take care of her, which is different from the original treatment she had received when first hiring them. Some of the staff were unprofessional, using cars filled with junk (some of the junk needed to be removed from the passenger seat and left in my mom’s driveway when taking her to doctors appointments because there was not enough space in the car for both a passenger and the junk in the car). When confronting them about this employee, our concerns were dismissed. Other care givers would arrive and disappear an hour without checking on my mom. Often staff would call in sick and not come to take care of my mom, and no replacement had been arranged by ComForCare. Additionally, the accounting department was unprofessional, blaming us for mistakes which had been made on their end.

I would not recommend this service to others based on our experience. The caregivers were inconsistent and we didn't feel like we got our money's worth.

This place is so classy & immaculately clean...yet was shocked to find b.bugs here. I know they are becoming more prevalent these days in apartments unfortunately, but my complaint is that they shouldn't rent out the apartment until they are sure they have gotten rid of them. Disappointed doesn't even cover it. The other thing to consider before moving here is the hyper-security conditions. If you want to just go out for a simple walk after 10 p.m using your key with the 'fob' device that should open the door for you doesn't. On top of using that you must speak into the intercom, explain who you are + get buzzed back in. I think that's going a little Too far.

ALthough there were several very nice caregivers, one in particular was very good, the main issue was that My mom's home became a revolving door. there were so many different people and most of them had not been trained or monitored to know the routine and the requirements. So each new person would have to be taught by a separate person I hired who had been with my mom for a while. Mom required 24/7 care . Scheduling was difficult for this company so mom never knew who was going to show up,. Eventually I required a schedule be provided. It was very difficult for my mom to feel really taken care of as she could not expect the same person daily. We asked to limit the number of new people. Eventually Mom did not do well as she was not getting cleaned properly and ended up in the hospital with an infection. After the hospital she was release for rehab in a nursing home, but within a couple of weeks, the infection grew worse and she died of sepsis. This agency was only there from 3 PM to 10 AM and then weekends.

To be clear this review is for Maple Farm which is owned by Garden Spot. Overall all I would say they are ok. Very much over priced. We pay $150k per year and they are WAY understaffed. Can take more then 30 min to respond to call button which is unacceptable. People are very friendly but at this cost we are considering pulling out and just getting full time personal care as they don't have any time to provide any companionship time with the patients.

I thought the people that came out and did the evaluation were very nice, all that was all fine but the disconnect came with what the management promised versus what the girls that came out actually did. The management promised things that the caregivers were not able to do.

I was not satisfied with this home care agency. My husband wasn't comfortable with the care givers. They were not good at following instructions. I would ask the care giver to do some thing, and she would do it her way. We had many issues with the home care agency. I would not recommend it.

They don’t show up pretty frequently. They were friendly enough when they did show up though. You get what you pay for and we’ll probably be needing to find a different home care provider pretty soon.

Jeff was somewhat helpful. Medium priced. Nurse assessment costs $150 and is needed. Not sure of license, if worked with our long-term insurance company, and didn't know if he could get a [removed].
