"Our situation could not have been more difficult to handle. A Better Solution came into our life during the time of Covid-19. You can imagine the negotiating, organizing, scheduling, cancellations, people getting sick, ect. that occurred while trying to get FT care for our mother's hospice. Christina was beyond compassionate and professional from the moment we met until our courageous mom passed away. She made sure that we had everything we needed and then some. She made sure we were taking care of ourselves. She made sure our house and all the equipment was set up for efficiency and ease. She introduced each caregiver, personally to us. You can't imagine how stressful it is allowing a stranger to come into your home to the care of your most precious treasure, our mother/sister. Caregiver Sabrina was extraordinary. She was efficient, calm, caring and soothing to us all. Her quiet reassurance and presence helped us so that we were able to focus on C's as she transitioned from this life. I am so very grateful to have been blessed with her support during the time of need." ~ Diana & Brynn
"Working with an agency that is attentive, honest and a team" ~ M. Adams
"The family was very satisfied with the service ABS provided as our care needs changed through the years with my father who had dementia. The manager, Christina, put us at ease from the beginning. She demonstrated patients, flexibility, forethought, and honestly constantly. The selection of caregivers fit the needs of our father and were well thought through and timely. The staff respected my father, his privacy and property at all times. We appreciated the ability to make changes to the care plan and staffing as needed. We would definitely recommend ABS and use them again in the future." ~ Padgett family
"We hired ABS after mom fell breaking an arm and leg. With 2+ mo in rehab, her dementia had progressed. The caregivers were wonderful! They did a thorough job of completing each task and when the list grew during COVID isolation, they were hugely helpful. In addition, their input was beneficial in making future decisions. I can not recommend ABS highly enough! Very caring, wonderful!" ~Ashton family
"Thank you so much for the wonderful service you provided for my mom! Every one who came to our home to provide care was fabulous. They were so kind, considerate and professional--and Jennifer became a friend as well. Thank you so much. We would highly recommend A Better Solution!" ~ Robin
"When my dad moved out of his home it was very hard for him. Having A Better Solution care for him made the transition much easier. All of the caregivers went above and beyond to make him feel loved and cared for. Every single staff member did a marvelous job, and we never worried about the quality of care, it was above expectations. Christina was amazing, and her personal attention was very comforting. They all made us feel like they were family. I can't say enough positives!" ~ Jon
"My siblings and I are extremly happy with the care our mom has recieved from A Better Solution. The caregivers are always promply on time. They are very friendly, caring and helpful.

I know that R. was happy in the company of her dedicated daily caregivers. I fully recommend A Better Solution In Home Care for their outstanding service and warm professionalism." ~ David
"We found ABS from our elderly neighbor, who lived alone. Like mom, he was a child of the depression and incredibly frugal. Caregivers from ABS met the former Dean of the Business School's exacting requirements! ABS did an amazing job matching caregivers with my mother. Initially, mom hated the idea of having a CG helping her. She was used to living her life being self-sufficient and frugal. The idea of paying someone to help her with things she was used to doing herself, but no longer could, was totally foreign. Jamie broke the ice followed by Joy, Carrie and soon others. Mom's CG's not only helped her with her daily living tasks that she could no longer do but became her close companions. Mom was incredibly attached to her home as she did much of the work herself, including laying the floors. The help and companionship from her CG's allowed mom to live out her life in the home she loved and built for herself."~ Chris
"I look at ABS as a big part of the team that cares for my parents. The owners and staff really care and work so hard to make sure my parents have the care when they need it.

"Mary and I want to thank you so much. When Mom was diagnosed with advanced Lung Cancer it was devastation news. The doctors gave her a few weeks to live. Her one wish was to be able to stay at home. Thanks to your help we were able to grant that last wish. Mom wasn't able to sleep except for cat naps. The last month and a half she was bedridden. We really needed 24 hour care but were having a difficult time finding any day shift help locally. You stepped right up and had the resources we desperately needed to keep mom at home. All the staff at A Better Solution are very professional and caring and all were very much appreciated. Even though they all had quite a drive to get to Anacortes, everyone always arrived before their shift started - it made all the difference - Mom really looked forward to everyone's visits." ~ Very Sincerely, Liz
