They're not a full service Home Health Care provider for the elderly only 9 to 5 Monday through Friday no services through the weekend and on holidays not excuses truths. I suppose Alzheimer and Dementia cases are miraculously cured during those times. We have over 300 hours of respite care because they don't work on the weekends. I cannot wait to find another agency with full-time care and mean it maybe somebody should tell Karen hands what full-time care actually is it's not 9 to 5 not in the Home Health Service false advertisement at their finest .

My family and I began using Caring Hands Healthcare Services (CHHS) in January 2015. We have a Middle School age son with Down Syndrome and Autistic Spectrum behaviors as well as healthcare needs.
My husband and I both work in Washington, D.C. which means that we head to work and to our commuter lots at 5:30 a.m. and do not arrive home until early evening. Being so far away from home on a daily basis caused us much concern.
CHHS is one of the few caregiving agencies in the Fredericksburg area that cares for individuals under the age of 18. Jay and Linda Pernell sat down with us in our home to explain the details of the services they provide and to assist with the paperwork associated with Medicaid patients. They were warm, reassuring, and knowledgeable. They gave us what parents need most, peace of mind that their child is being well cared for.
Our family, and especially our younger son, loves our primary caregiver and we hope she will be with us for many years. Occasionally when she has other commitments, CHHS sends an alternate caregiver who our son is already familiar with. Linda, Jay, and our caregivers are kind, reliable, and empathetic towards the needs of special kids. They are essential in my family's daily life. Thank you Linda, Elizabeth, and CHHS, for being there for us.

There are not enough words to express my feelings for my caretaker from Caring Hands. She is sweet, lovable, intelligent, skilled, and so much more. I could never have recuperated as much as I have without her. Thank you Caring Hands. (:

My husband is suffering from Alzheimer's and a friend recommended CHHS to me. The CHHS caregiver that worked with us was comforting, supportive and kind. She was very experienced and shared a great deal of knowledge about his condition. The nurse who visited us and checked him on a regular basis offered the same qualities. Every phone call was friendly and helpful. I could not have asked for more professional or better service. I'm a grateful client. My husband had excellent, reliable care in our home. The CHHS staff has been the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. I will be forever grateful and managing quite well. Thanks to each of you.

Jay, my family, and I are forever grateful! I'm glad we made the decision to use your services. We researched several home health companies in your area and I must say the process was so overwhelming. But you made it so easy for us by answering all our questions in a caring and professional manner and we decided to use your services. Your company stood out amongst the crowd! It is obvious you love and care about what you do. There should be more people like you in the world. You did an awesome job matching the perfect caregiver with my father-in-law.

We were very satisfied with CHHS. The nurses and aides provided my daughter with great service during her six-month care. Their notes to me were very helpful in keeping track of her progress. I would highly recommend CHHS to anyone in need of their services.

CHHS Home Care helped my family tremendously!!! The entire staff treated my mother with respect. My mum's condition was very delicate and she needed constant supervision. I work long hours and couldn't physically care for her needs. During our usual evening conversations about her day she would always ask what time Sarah was going to be there in the morning to assist her with her arts and crafts! I was glad she was getting the care she deserved. The weekly notes from the nurse greatly helped me know my mum's wonderful progress. I cannot rave enough about CHHS. Their entire staff went about and beyond for us!

If I ever need help again I will certainly call CHHS. All of the people were caring and anxious to set up a program that would suit me. Because of this I am now able to be myself again.

I really appreciate the entire staff at CHHS. Over the last couple of years, I have used several Home care companies and private duty people. It was not until I started using CHHS, that I saw the level of quality care they provide. Now I have the peace of mind in leaving Dad in someone else's care.

I started using CHHS about a year ago. They have matched me with great caregivers for my 9-year old daughter and 6-year old son, both with special needs. My children LOVE their caregivers! As the mom of two special needs kids, I know I can sometimes to be demanding when it comes to my kids' care, since I know my kids cannot defend themselves. I am so thankful to CHHS team for their professionalism, patience and understanding with my kids. I am always amazed at the expressions on my kids' faces when I see them interacting with their caregivers. I now have the peace of mind knowing they are in good, caring hands! Thank you so much!
