My 87 year old father fell and fractured his hip. A few days after his surgery he was sent to Jenner's Pond rehabilitation. He was there for just about a month and came home. Prior to his release my wife and I looked into different in-home care companies that had been referred to us. We spoke to three in total. We chose Well Springs Home Care because they were personal, had empathy regarding our situation, were 100% transparent with scheduling and their pricing was reasonable. Now on to their care takers: Because my dad lives in an in-law suite in our home, it was really important that the care he received was top notch and personable. Each care provider was absolutely professional, also had empathy and knew how to deal with someone my dad's age who was recovering from surgery. They worked in unison with the visiting physical therapist to get my dad back to his pre fall/accident condition. Between the caretakers communication and that of the management of Well Springs, we truly could not have asked for more. If you're in the situation where you need in home care for your parent(s)or anyone else, allow our experience to help you make the right decision in hiring an outstanding organization! Keep up the excellent work Well Springs Home Care!

Well Springs administrative staff - I don’t know titles (Amber, Ashani, Justin) are wonderful. They do so much and are very responsive, if they can help they will. They respond quickly and always get back to you.
