 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a homecare provider myself, I cannot say how impressed and happy I am with Individual Home Care. In the world of home care it is important to be hands on, caring, compassionate and readily available if and when there are issues. Charles and his staff are all of those things. I have gotten to see Charles on many occasions speak with our mutual clients and clients of his own. It is always done so with care, real time advice and direction, and a top priority to Charles and staff. They are able to smoothly navigate Medicaid and any bumps in the road that come with the process. I strongly recommend every and all of our clients to Charles with extreme confidence on a daily basis. Thank you Individual Home Care!!!!!

What I thought would be a stressful transfer was not! The staff at Individual are phenomenal and I can’t say enough good things about the HHA’s. They are so kind, compassionate, and caring. Thank you Individual!!!
