Testimonials

“Our family was pleased to engage with Golden Life for the better part of a year to help us care for our parents. We worked mainly with 3 caregivers and found them to be experienced, sharp, caring, and conscientious when it came to day-to-day caregiving. We enjoyed their collaboration, their company, their cooking, and their pleasant, ‘can-do’ approach to the work. We also appreciated that the director of Golden Life made every effort to find suitable replacements when necessary. I highly recommend Golden Life for senior care-giving.”

 “I met Rochelle a year before hiring Golden Services Home Services, and she left such a genuine & compassionate impression on me – so much that I kept her contact information! She goes above and beyond to find care – matching the right caregiver(s) to meet my dad’s needs – I’m relieved to say the least!”

“During a time when I was full of stress, Golden Life Home Services was able to help me get wonderful care for my mother when I was unable to help her myself. The person they picked was a perfect match for my mom and she has been so happy with the support she has been getting physically (showers, massages, exercises, etc.), and the help she has been getting in her home (laundry, light cleaning, etc) but the best is the emotional help she has received as she feels less lonely”

“Dealing with Gold Life Home Services (Rochelle and her team of caregivers) has been such a positive experience over the past year! Care, communication and trust are critically important to working together to care for our loved ones, and Rochelle and her team have made these components a priority. I am so grateful for all the support Golden Life Home Services has provided with the care of my mother and father. It is so encouraging that they care for each of them as individuals, prioritize their safety and comfort, as well as support the caregiver in the overall care plan. I appreciate the dedicated caregivers and applaud Rochelle for her involvement and direction throughout the months. I would highly recommend Golden Life Home Services to anyone who needs personalized and thoughtful care for their loved ones.”

“The journey of establishing the best live-in care for our mom with Alzheimer’s is a challenging one both emotionally and practically. We are committed to keeping our mom in her home as long as possible. Rochelle has been a critical partner in that journey from the first phone conversation. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and takes a very personalized approach. She took the time to understand our family and most importantly our mom in order to develop a customized care plan and find the best caregivers. She continues to be a trusted partner as our caregiving needs evolve.”

“It is with great pleasure and a genuine heart felt thank you to Rochelle and her team at Golden Life Home Services Inc.  Golden Life Home Services Inc. comes highly recommended and from the first moment I contacted Rochelle I truly understood why. Our need for a personal caregiver was immediate and Rochelle sprang into action with an in-house to personally access the situation to determine the proper fit for my 85-year-old father and 83-year-old mother. Rochelle’s professionalism, empathy and genuine compassion for our situation was evident from our first initial meeting. Within a week Rochelle had identified to highly experienced caregiver who was available to assist with the task at hand. In my father’s words the caregiver feels like a “part of the family”. Unfortunately dealing with my father’s dementia is extremely challenging and on several our assigned caregiver was forced to diffuse difficult situations with professionalism, grace and an abundance of compassion. On one occasion Rochelle herself took the time out of her busy schedule to personally reach out to my father and calm him down-something that my siblings and I are unsuccessful at doing.  Thank you for caring as much as you do to find the right care professionals with HEART.”
