On a similar note, I have been thinking that I may need to move my parents
to assisted living very soon. They really need more meals and more care than
they are getting now.

I have an appointment on Tuesday to visit Boylston Place. If anyone has any
other suggestions I would love to hear from you. I am feeling quite lost and
not sure what to do.

Thanks

Roberta

Marian, Nina, everyone ‹ this is exactly the kind of info that Families and
Friends can help each other with. I know you, Nina, have a special interest
in this kind of sharing, too ‹ so we'll work together to find a good way to
share everyone's recommendations and experience that don't get posted to the

Actually, I would love to see the replies just to have this sort of
information on hand. Or perhaps this info can be compiled/stored in the F&F
site? Thanks!

Hello, again ­

Before anyone else goes to the trouble of digging up information on
HouseWorks (thank you), you should know that we¹ve used them for years and
are switching. This is not a complaint. They were perfectly adequate when
my mother¹s s ervice needs were simple and basic, and very responsive to last
minute emergency requests. Her current care needs exceed their capabilities
in terms of aide qualifications, training, and daily supervision/oversight.

Hi, Families & Friends ­



I¹ll need to get extensive home care services in place for my mother¹s return
home from the hospital, and would appreciate your advice. At this point I¹m
only interested in agency services as I need them to provide coordination,
24/7 emergency back-up, and oversight.



The following agencies have been recommended to me. I¹d appreciate hearing
if you¹ve used any of them and what your experience has been.

· Excellus Home Care

· Ezra Home Care

· Seniors Helping Seniors

· ; Geriatric Resource Center

· Keystone Homecare

· Home Staff (used by the VNA)

· VNA Community Health in Arlington



Also, if you have another agency to recommend that¹s not on this list, please
do.



Please reply directly to me so we don¹t barrage everyone with a slew of
unwanted emails.



Thanks so much.



Nina R.
