    Review

    Compassionate Care Personal Care Services (CPCS) elicits a wide range of experiences from those who have interacted with the company, painting a picture of a service that some regard as outstanding and deeply humane, while others raise serious doubts about trust and integrity. On the whole, CPCS appears to be a provider that many clients and professionals look to for attentive and compassionate home-based care, but it also has critics who report troubling encounters.

    One strong thread in the feedback comes from a physician who describes CPCS as delivering "excellent, professional, and comprehensive home care." This reviewer notes that the team "goes above and beyond with kindness and reliability," and that the care is delivered with "true compassion." The physician emphasizes the company's commitment to meeting every need, suggesting a level of attentiveness and dedication that the reviewer finds commendable. The message is clear: for this professional, CPCS embodies high standards of care, reliability, and heartfelt service.

    In addition to the physician's endorsement, there is a sentiment among some clients that CPCS has earned "the upmost respect" from all involved - clients, caregivers, employees, and the broader community. The praise highlights safety, health, and comfort as core priorities, with a sense that the company genuinely cares about people who are in their care and about the community at large. This voice portrays CPCS as a company that treats people with dignity and strives to ensure that those under their care feel safe and supported.

    Another positive note comes from a separate review that simply calls CPCS a "Great agency," praising its professionalism, outgoing staff, and positive demeanor. The reviewer mentions a top-notch quality in caregivers and points to an excellent location as a strength, reinforcing the impression of a well-regarded organization in the eyes of some clients. This viewpoint emphasizes the practical benefits - professional staff, a pleasant working environment, and accessible services - that make CPCS stand out in a favorable light.

    Yet the picture is not uniformly rosy. A different reviewer issues a stark warning: "Never recommend this company to family take care of family." Describing CPCS as a "very shady business," the reviewer expresses distrust and urges potential clients to avoid the company, arguing that there are "too many others" to choose from. The critique foregrounds concerns tied to personal safety and trust, suggesting that experiences here can be risky, especially for families receiving care in their own homes.

    The most troubling details come from this reviewer's claim about the owner, Jennifer, whom they describe as "very shady." They allege that she "purposefully falsified important information" and fail to provide written documentation they requested. The reviewer says they attempted to obtain written verification, were told it would be mailed, and never received it. After contacting the state, the reviewer says it was verified that the information presented by CPCS was falsified. The reviewer casts doubt not only on individual actions but also on how the office staff operate, insisting that "Her office employees follow the leader" and concluding with a sentiment that they would have given "0 star" if possible.

    Despite this serious accusation, the collection of reviews includes repeated positive notes about CPCS's agency qualities. The reference to a "Great agency" with professional and outgoing staff and the description of CPCS as a "top notch agency for anyone looking for caregivers" stands in contrast to the more negative experiences, illustrating that customer satisfaction can be highly variable. The presence of both praise and criticism suggests that outcomes may depend on specific staff, particular situations, or the nature of interactions between clients, their families, and the company.

    Taken together, these reviews present a mixed portrait of CPCS. For some patients and professionals, the company represents compassionate, respectful, and reliable home care that prioritizes safety and comfort. For others, serious concerns about trust, honesty, and communication overshadow any positive aspects. This divergence underscores the importance for potential clients to conduct thorough due diligence: seek multiple references, request written documentation of services, verify any claims with state regulators or health professionals, and consider meeting with prospective caregivers and management to gauge alignment with their expectations and needs. The range of experiences documented here makes it clear that CPCS can be a source of excellent care for some, while for others it has raised red flags that demand careful scrutiny before engaging services.
