I have been with One On One Care for about 6 years now. The people in the office really care about their clients' needs and they really go above and beyond to provide exceptional care. When they send out a caregiver, they want to send a perfect fit for you.

After my hip surgery I needed help getting back on my feet, and One on One Care was there every step of the way. My caregiver was patient, kind, and treated me like family. I am so grateful for the support during my recovery.

Kate and Stacie from One on One have been professional, compassionate and extremely flexible in the few months that we required in-home care for my father. I could not have asked for a better service while we navigated the chaos of a parent with dementia.

We live three hours away from Mom, and One on One Care has given our whole family peace of mind. They keep us updated, they show up on time, and Mom genuinely looks forward to her caregiver's visits. Worth every penny.

I have had a great experience with One on One Care for over 12 years. Christa, Kate and Stacie were always quick to respond to my calls. Christa always answered any question I had. Maureen, our visiting nurse, was always on time and always smiling.

When my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I did not know where to turn. The team was compassionate and knowledgeable, and matched us with a caregiver who truly understood his needs. They have been a blessing to our family.

The office staff walked us through the Medicaid waiver process and made everything so much easier than I expected. Our aide is dependable, respectful, and wonderful with my mother. I recommend them to anyone needing in-home care.

I can't say enough good things about One on One Care. They took the time to learn my mother's routine and preferences, and having the same caregiver consistently has made all the difference.
