What Families Are Saying

Hear From Our Clients

Our mother's caregiver, Shamona, provided fantastic care. I cannot say enough good things about her and all she did for mother and our family. She truly went above and beyond what we ever could have expected. Even after mother entered a nursing home Shamona continued to provide comfort for all of us. The day we contacted Options and were matched with this wonderful caring person was our lucky day. Shamona and the whole team provided tremendous help and we're so thankful.

Options for Senior America is an answer to prayer for us. When Bridgette came to assess our needs we knew this was God's divine plan. Every worker we have had has been exemplary. We were blessed to have DeOminique become our Home Health Aid. God knew just what we needed having someone tall, strong, and with a dazzling smile is to our benefit. She greets my husband with that smile and her dimples are charming. It brighten his day and he wakes up in good spirits. Without a doubt we praise God for " Options for America."
