The four agencies above talked to me and gave their standard speech to convince me. The deal breaker was my need for a Filipino-American Aide. The only one that provides that requirement was Golden Years. Golden Years have over 100 aides, but only one Filipino-American. My need is only for Light housekeeping and transportation services to errands and doctor/dental appointments. The home care can provide services as listed in the above photo. Today, the Case Manager of Golden years visited me to officially sign for service next week, with 2 weeks of service deposit. I refuse to sign in until I could talk in person to the only Fil-Am aide they agency had. We have a date for Monday. In case you are curious, the cost of service is $35/hour with 15 hrs minimum per week required. It is not cheap, Two years ago, I paid $25/hr for Macrine. She needed more attention, bath, dressing help and feeding. I do not need medical care but just light housekeeping and transportation services. Wish me Luck for this Search! I hope this Fil-American  Aide and I are compatible.
