Judith W.,the Human touch referred Caregiver, is fabulous. She is an angel. I am so thrilled with who she is as a human being, how caring she is, how competent she is, how clear she is, how loving she is. All of those things. I think your rates are quite reasonable considering the combination of competency, care and love. It’s priceless. I couldn’t be happier.

I could not have done this without Cecile ( HTHC referred Caregiver). She was what held it together. ...you need people in your life who are remarkable and Cecile was remarkable. She is very caring and goes the extra mile all the time. This is one of the hardest cases we have and she took it graciously. I can't even give her a present that would make up for what she has done ( for her client). I call her Saint Cecile.

Marie, ( the care-coordinator) has made my life so much more pleasant. She is a great representative for Human Touch. She has helped me in 10 different ways. It’s not easy having a husband who needs caregivers, but Marie has made my situation so much more bearable.

My wife and I were very blessed when Lowanna was sent to us. She is very dedicated and comes on time or early every week. She knows just what is needed to help me. This weekend she helped me organize photos for a celebration of my wife’s life. That was difficult for me but Lowanna was wonderful. She is an angel from Heaven.

Antoinette has been wonderful to my mother, Alice W. . I don't know what we would do without her. My Mother's health has been improving due in no small part to Antoinette's care. I feel completely confident in having her here with my parents. It is just so good not to have to worry while she is here.

Val is really quite careful about so many things and if I call her, she comes to help me right away. And she is very patient. I am very grateful for that and really very satisfied with the care. Many people have commented how much happier I seem now. And that certainly makes me feel good too. Having Val has made a big difference.

Regina is exceptional in every way shape or form. She has a rare quality of being able to think of my uncle’s needs and my needs as a family caregiver.

How do I know a company is a good one?
Any company you consider should be licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, which means it conforms to State regulations designed to protect the safety of all consumers of in-home care.
How long has the home care company been in business?
