One of my clients had an urgent need for a companion. Her mental health had recently deteriorated to the point where she could not safely be alone in her apartment. I called Holistic HomeCare Associates and within a matter of days, I hired two wonderful caregivers that my client immediately embraced; they took the necessary initiative in caring for my client both medically and emotionally. As the legal guardian, I enrolled in the Employer Support Plan which made hiring caregivers smooth and seamless. Paychecks were automatically withdrawn from the bank account and I received weekly online payroll summaries by email, which made it very easy to stay up to date with fees and financial record keeping.
