Messiah Village Residents | At Home Client

“When we first moved to Messiah Village in 2023, we started with Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy services. Once that schedule settled in, we met with At Home for help with Mike’s health needs in our apartment. At Home services were a tremendous resource. The team members always made sure we had high quality assistance that met our specific needs. They were always available and responded promptly to any inquiry. Their customer service skills not only exemplify Messiah Village’s values and mission, but their ethic of care has enhanced our quality of life. It has been a blessing to have high quality care, a regular routine, and team members able to address Mike’s individual needs.”

“Smiling faces came to my door, and they were willing to help me with anything I needed from emptying my dishwasher to helping me take my first shower after surgery. They even took the time to chat with me about my life and theirs.”

“The At Home caregivers were so patient and so focused on Bob’s needs, and they were able to read his nonverbal cues. He was always happy and relaxed when I told him our friends from Messiah Lifeways were coming over. I will be forever grateful for the care and support we received from the At Home caregivers. They have touched our lives and our hearts in beautiful ways. They enriched Bob’s life and mine beyond measure.”
