Testimonial
I would strongly recommend 1776 Senior Care to anyone looking for assistance with the care of a loved one. This past spring, my husband became ill. He expressed that he wanted to receive services at home, I knew that I was going to need help in caring for him and, after reading reviews of several organizations, I reached out to 1776 Senior Care. The staff was very professional and set up a time for an interview. After, meeting with us, listening to my concerns, and what type of assistance I was hoping secure; they arranged meetings with two of their service providers. Their caregivers, Kelly and Gul, are the most perfect matches for our family and our needs. They are excellent representatives for the company. They are professional in demeanor, always on time, treat my husband (and me) with respect, and help in ways that exceeded our expectations. I would strongly recommend 1776 Senior Care. – Karen Cinert
