Home Helpers of Tampa Bay

My mother and her husband were directed to get help at home by their doctor. I called A Place For Mom who then offered several home help agencies. We settled on Home Helpers of Tampa because of their quick response, information provided and company philosophy. Home Helpers of Tampa found the person matching our criteria and she is working out perfectly. Our requirements are companionship and cooking. The fee charged is $22/hour which is well worth it. Our helper arrives at 9am and leaves at 5pm four days a week and on Sundays she arrives at 9 and leaves at 1pm. Since the employees are insured through the agency, the home helper takes them shopping and to the bank.

I used Home Helpers in March when I went out of the country for two weeks of vacation. I did not have to use them exclusively because some of our kids came for brief stays. During the times that they were supposed to be with my husband, they were dependably at the house on time and fulfilled the tasks as listed. My husband had no complaints so neither did I. My husband did not need full time care. He needed company and someone to be sure that he ate. I paid $18.00 an hour with a minimum of 4 hours. I would use them again if I have a chance to go away and none of our kids were available.

I really love this agency and the caregiver they sent us is really good. She comes right in and goes right to work. I never have to tell her what to do. [removed] also knows where everything is in the house and she also asks if she can help with household duties. The only downfall is that there have been a few times that she’s been late. Overall I would recommend this agency. She is well mannered, trained very well, keeps things picked up, and lets me know if my father’s health has changed.
