Great management, great patient care professionals. Our daughter underwent spinal surgery. When I spoke with Raymond at C-Care I was under a lot of stress, when we finished talking I felt I had chosen the right place for her support. Raymond handled everything perfectly, supplying us with excellent care, his staff at C-Care are the best!
I recommend this company without hesitation. Thank you Raymond. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! From the beginning, Raymond was extremely helpful, professional and kind, going out of his way to accommodate my scheduling requests. C-Care was actually recommended by my surgeon and doctor, so I knew I would be in good hands; however, I was blown away by the level of personal attention and care.
I can't speak highly enough of the people at C-Care. Raymond and his team are nothing short of super stars. Each and every staff member I connected with was incredibly professional, patient and caring.
Raymond never disappointed helping to provide scheduling for both short and long term needs. I quite simply do not know how I would have coped without him and his team. We have used this company many times over the last ten years - our dad needed extra night care in the hospital.
