Friendly and Supportive Conversation (hide)

As part of our companionship care services, incidental transportation is sometimes needed. Our caregivers can help with transportation and accompany your senior parent on errands, doctor’s appointments, or visits with friends and family.

Assist With and Motivate Meal Preparation (hide)
Studies show that over half of all seniors living at home are undernourished or malnourished. This is caused by an unbalanced diet, the body’s unwillingness to absorb food, or depression.

Homemaking services are usually provided in conjunction with companionship or personal care core services, allowing your loved ones to enjoy the beautiful home they’ve lived in for years without the stress of keeping it up every day.

I want to take this opportunity to commend Synergy for the outstanding service you provided my family during a time of intense need. I am very pleased that the Veterans Administration chose your company to send professional home care providers to help my father, James after my mother received a diagnosis of terminal breast cancer. My mother and I both needed respite care from dealing with James' dementia/Alzheimer's issues in order to deal with her health problems and all the other issues surrounding care giving for two 82year old people in their decline. I was so pleased with our very first sitter, Ilyasa C. She was wonderful and I so much appreciated how involved you and your staff were to make sure we received the appropriate level of service and care. At the moment, I cannot recall the second sitter's name, but she, too, we a delight to work with, I liked how smooth and efficient you were when schedules or needs changed. You make it very easy to partner with you in taking care of James, especially when I was to involved in taking care of my mother, Naomi. In my opinion, your caregivers when over and beyond the call of duty. They became like an extension of our family during a time when we had only two family members in the area and desperately needed help. I am very pleased that the VA chose you as a provider. I want not only to acknowledge your exceptional, high quality service, but also to volunteer to be a reference should you ever needs one. Thank our for your dedication and quality of service.

David and I want to thank you for the wonderful support and care you and Laura and your caregivers have given my dad - and out whole family. The fall that made my dad suddenly unable to live by himself required many emotional as well physical adjustments for our family, and you helped with all of those. You met our needs those first few weeks by sending truly exceptional caregivers to be with him, round the clock, when he was in the hospital at UAB, then the inpatient at Lakeshore Rehab Hospital, and then at our home. Again and again, we were impressed by the kindness and professionalism of every caregiver you sent. And your desire personally to introduce every new caregiver to my dad when he was in the most fragile state was really touching. In addition, you responded graciously - in fact, heroically! -- to our constantly changing needs. One morning we would think my dad would be leaving the hospital, and then three hours later the plan would change - and you would adjust to the new arrangement so calmly and positively. One other thing especially appreciate is your willingness to send the very best caregivers for my dad, although you knew he was, for fiscal reasons, unlikely to be a long-term client. You've continued to meet his sporadic needs for home health care workers by sending really the nicest, most committed people. Interestingly, several of the caregivers have told me, although they've worked for a variety of health care companies over the years, they've been happiest working with Synergy. The reasons several have given are the you and Laura are both committed and personally involved - and that all the other Synergy caregivers they occasionally meet and interact with are hardworking, kind and committed. Being in the midst of people motivated to do their best must be motivating to everyone. Well, thanks for everything. we'll continue to call you intermittently when we need help for my Dad, and we'll feel good knowing the kind of people you'll send.
