Client Testimonials

    "I wanted to write and thank you for the wonderful care your staff gave to my husband during the final two weeks of his illness. They were just incredible and I can’t say enough good things about them. The care given was of the highest quality and each one did everything in their power to make my husband comfortable.”

    "The aides didn’t forget me either. When they were not required to be with my husband, they looked after me too. One cooked breakfast for me on Saturday (what a special treat after so many months of taking care of my husband myself); one made my bed for me if I didn’t have time in the morning; one let my poodles out each day and I could go on and on. You have a staff of very caring, special people.”

    "We have had a very positive experience using Barr Private Care for the care of my Father these past 16-17 months. The performance of your employee has been outstanding. Words really cannot adequately describe the level of excellent service your caregiver required of herself in relation to her client. She is kind, considerate, outgoing, and she always holds the clients condition, care, and status as top priority.”

    "I would like to express how pleased we were with the care given to my mother by your group. Thanks to the staffing coordinator for all the scheduling work that at times, I am sure, was very difficult. The women who cared for my mother were so loving and giving. In a special way, they became a part of our family during our three-month vigil. The work that the caregivers do is a hard job but they gave our family a real sense of peace for we knew Mother was truly getting great care. Thanks to all of you for helping our family through a very hard situation.”
