Words cannot fully express to you how wonderful our family’s experience was with Galaxy Home Care, but I’ll try my best. My aunt fell and was admitted to truly horrific rehab center in Bay Ridge. The staff were mean, insensitive, and at times neglectful of her and the other patients in their care. I was there every day with her, but I was so scared to leave her at night. I was getting reports from her roommate that she was trying to climb out of bed and that the rehab staff were doing nothing to keep her safe. This prompted us to find a 24/7 bed side aid service which led us to Galaxy.
They were super responsive, assigning her a night time aid on the same day we called and also getting coverage for her over a holiday weekend. The staff is all women, and they are very experienced in caring for people with dementia/Alzheimer’s. Many of the women were wonderful with my aunt, encouraging her to go to her PT/OT as well as getting her to participate in the nursing home social activities.
While there were some that she preferred over others, most of the female aids that worked with my aunt knew what they were doing and were confident in taking over without me needing to show them how to be with her.
We did have concerns over one aid (more a personality mismatch with my aunt), but the office coordinators and her case manager were wonderful in receiving our feedback and also worked to get staff that she did well with onto her schedule. I cannot thank Galaxy home care enough in helping my aunt during a really challenging time in her life. They also gave me peace of mind in (especially when I left at night) so I could rest and return during the days fully recharged. Thank you so much for the patient and loving care you gave to my aunt.
