We've hired three companies in the past and this was the best. Much better prices, easier to work with and the caregivers were all very nice.

Wendy S.

We have had support from Smithlife for the past few years to care for our Mother at her independent living facility. They have been very good to work with, always meeting our needs, especially on very short notice, and their caregivers have been excellent. The administrative staff has always been available and very responsive to any requests we would have, day or night, and made sure the needs of my Mother were always their priority.

I would highly recommend SmithLife care for anyone looking for additional support for loved ones. The staff is incredible and worked with us to find the right amount of care and was also flexible when making changes. They consistently check in on how things are going and make sure everything is going well. The care providers were incredibly kind and willing to do anything that was asked of them. Couldn't have been happier with our decision to go with SmithLife Homecare.
