PRAISE

Below are some testimonials from families we’ve worked with.

“My mother hurt her back and we realized shortly before our trip to Nantucket that her care was more than just the family could handle. After a recommendation from a friend, we called Nantucket Home Health Care. Alice quickly was able to find caregivers for each night of our stay, as well as the additional mornings we requested once we arrived. The caregivers were all so kind, and professional, and listened to my mother’s needs. I highly recommend Nantucket Home Health Care. Thank you!”

– Christina

“We called Nantucket Home Health Care on relatively short notice to obtain help with the various Activities of Daily Living I required for our one-month visit. (I am quadriplegic needing help with dressing, bathroom, showers, and food preparation.) The caregivers were delightful, competent, caring, and very eager to help in any way they could. We will be giving them more advanced notice of our needs in the coming summers, and hope to get the same ones again each year.”

– RAS

“I would have to describe my relationship with Nantucket Home Health Care as transformative The young woman who is my home health care aide is simply angelic She is proactive and kind and compassionate and completely trustworthy I can even describe our relationship as fun She is never late and never absent I would wholeheartedly recommend NHHC Inc to anyone They have you covered !”

– Randi

“I was given Alice Daniels name by a friend and my brother was the first to call. Alice made the journey to help my mom easy for us. Her response to our requests was met quickly. The staff that she introduced us to spend time with my mom were pleasant, caring, and loving to my mom. When we had to decide to have someone live full time Alice picked the perfect fit for my mom and our family. We consider ourselves lucky to have met Alice and her staff knowing my mom was in the best hands.”

– Carol

“Nantucket Home Healthcare came to our rescue when we unexpectedly needed to find 24/7 care for our mother. Within hours Alice had lined up a team of wonderful, kind, and professional caregivers to work with her day and night. All of the aides instantly adopted the care plan and were incredibly easy to have in our (full!) home – from simple conversation to tidying up, to direct care, they were all wonderful, thoughtful, and caring.”

– The Davis Family

“When it became apparent that our father needed 24/7 professional care, I looked for an on-island agency and found Alice Daniels’ Nantucket Home Health Care. The caregivers who took shifts were delightful and professional. We were fortunate to then transition to a live-in caregiver whom my Dad, as well as the family, grew to love, trust, and rely on for all his care so we could just enjoy our time with him. Alice was always available, informative, and supportive anytime I had a concern or question about my Dad’s care.”

– M. E. C.

“I came to Nantucket Home Health Care during the height of summer in need of coverage for 12-hour shifts. Alice and the team jumped into action and were able to help me. The communication and support I received was top-notch. My only regret is not calling them sooner.”

– Bethany

“Just wanted to say thank you for all your help and personal care your staff had given my mom.” “I truly appreciate all they did. She felt like she had some new friends! I am truly blessed to have had them come to her home.” “I just wanted to let you know how pleased Mom was with her caregivers before she needed to go to a 24hr Facility.”

-Ann E

“Nantucket Home Health Care is an exceptional agency. Alice Daniels was terrific in arranging outstanding aides for my husband, which made our month long vacation worry-free and most enjoyable. Everything was smoothly executed and very well organized. The care was skilled and compassionate. Looking forward to connecting up again next summer.”

– CTO

“My family used NHHCI after my father had a major health event and requested in – home care. We were paired with a wonderful health aide who was not only kind, but extremely talented. She became a part of our family and continued to care for my mother as she grew ill. It was a comfort for us to know that someone who loved my parents like a member of the family was caring for them when we couldn’t.”

– JK

“The services we have received from Alice Daniels and Nantucket Home Health Care over the last 10 years has been extraordinary. Alice and her wonderful aides took care of my mother daily.

She has filled a gap on Nantucket with her great care for the elderly.”

“In 2014, Alice – Nantucket Home Health Care, helped me find the care for my late husband Charlie to keep him in his own home as long as possible. In November 2020, I broke my foot and could not walk. I received around the clock care as long as I needed it. The health care from Alice and her staff is always professional and caring.”
