What Our Clients Say
Leanne Y
I can not say enough positive things about this company and the people that work here! I had 48 1/2 hours to set up a lot of things to bring my mother home, for palliative care. I had next to no idea what to do or where to turn for homecare. I came across Remember When Homecare, I called and explained what was needed. Jen and Steph were amazing! I had a meeting the next day, for paper work related things, and I am so thankful for Steph coming on short notice! She was great! Steph put me at ease, and pointed out things that I had not thought about asking, when it came to discharge from the hospital. The homecare workers that have been at my parents house, have been amazing with both of my parents! Although they are there to care for my mother, they have been absolutely amazing with my father as well! I want to thank everyone for taking 50% of the stress off of my dad and giving him a break! Anna, Samson and Manpreet I will never be able to say thank you enough for all of the care, compassion and friendship that you all have shown my parents!
