Overall Review of Keep Me Home
common19 reviews mention this
Caregivers feel personal and patient
Residents describe caregivers who are patient, respectful, and focused on quality of life.
Many reviews emphasize that the caregivers treat people with patience and respect, not just task-focused help. Several residents or families mention long relationships with the same aide, describing them as emotionally supportive as well as helpful with daily needs. A few reviews also highlight caregivers being proactive about getting help when health changes come up, including encouraging or arranging medical attention.

Office communication and coordination
Families frequently praise the office for being responsive, organized, and easy to work with.
Across multiple reviews, families describe the office staff as professional and attentive, with good communication and follow-through. Some reviewers also mention help from specific coordinators in setting up care and answering questions, along with being flexible around schedules and needs. In parallel, there are also a smaller number of negative experiences where families felt support broke down, especially around timely staffing and communication during gaps.

Flexible help around daily routines
Reviews commonly mention caregivers who work around the client’s routine and changing needs.
Several reviewers describe care that fits real life—helping with showers, rides, errands, and other day-to-day tasks—rather than a rigid schedule. Others note willingness to adjust days and times when needed, and that the homemaker or aide shows up as expected most of the time. A minority of reviews disagree, describing missed calls, late arrivals, or care gaps that left clients alone.

Daily assistance includes errands and transport
Care plans in reviews often include help with appointments, errands, and getting where they need to go.
Some reviews mention that caregivers help with medical appointments and going out for necessary errands, and a few describe transportation assistance as part of the day. Others mention homemaking and companionship-type support that helps clients keep their lives running more smoothly. One review also raises a serious concern about transportation driving behavior, which is a risk the next set of families may want to verify.

Unreliable staffing and unprofessional moments
A minority of reviews describe missed visits, late arrivals, or serious unprofessional behavior.
While many reviews are positive, several describe situations where caregivers did not show up, were late, or communication was poor when coverage failed. There are also reports of aggressive or inappropriate behavior by a caregiver or nurse, including one incident that escalated beyond the home. One reviewer also says the agency did not perform home checks, which would matter if families expect proactive monitoring for safety.
