We feel very blessed to have had Linda and Barbara in my father’s life during his last months. They showed him the utmost respect and attended to his every need. They are truly amazing people, and words cannot express our appreciation for their support and care. On behalf of my family, I would like to thank Responsive for assigning these remarkable people to my father’s care. We could not have been more pleased or more grateful.
– A.K. FAMILY MEMBER
I just had to tell you how amazing your staff is. Mom is 97, and is quite a handful these days. With the never ending help from Linda, who gives 110%, Stephanie, Anita, and of course Theresa, who works so hard to follow up and solves all my insurance problems, what a difference from our previous provider! They are my life line, my saviors….I could not survive without their involvement. If you ever need references, you know who you can call…..Have a great weekend, and thanks again from the bottom of my heart

I want to thank Catherine from the bottom of my heart for what she did for my Dad and for me. He relied on her in his final days and she never wavered in the care she gave him. She is a rare individual that touched my family’s heart.
– L.Z. Family Member
I can only remark how professional caring and attentive your entire staff has been over these past years. Linda has been a tremendous help. She has handled many complicated issues over time and always managed to find solutions. I thank you one and all for making my father’s last years of life comfortable and reassuring with dependable aides.

I must tell you Simone is the best nurse aide I have ever had! Simone goes above and beyond the call of duty; she takes initiative, she takes her job very seriously, is a hard worker, intelligent, and an overachiever.
– DR. K, FORT LAUDERDALE
As you know, I had a 92 year old patient in failing health who required around the clock care. I want you to know that the patient’s family and I were extremely satisfied with your staff. We could count on Responsive to provide qualified, caring aides throughout this difficult time. Thank you for being so attentive to the needs of my patient and her family.
– M.Z. FAMILY MEMBER
I am writing this letter to compliment the superlative treatment and care you have afforded my mother. All anyone can ask of a caregiver is to treat your patient as if she was your own mother. I thank Karlene so much and I will forever have a place in my heart for her, because I knew my mother was safe and happy with Karlene caring for her.
