My dad is an 84-year-old retired veteran who lives alone. After several falls and emergency room visits, my brother and I realized it was time to have someone regularly checking on him and assisting with walking and personal hygiene to help ensure his safety. While his mind remains sharp and he makes good decisions, his body has simply started showing its age. Unfortunately, my brother and I could not be with him every day. I reached out to A Place At Home in 2022 and met with the owner and RN. What stood out to me immediately was how relationship-oriented and caring they were, rather than making it feel like just another business transaction. They also helped us navigate obtaining payment for care through the VA, which was a tremendous help. We have continued using their services ever since. My dad now has a caregiver 7 days a week for 3 hours each day. I cannot fully describe the peace of mind it gives me knowing that someone is checking on him daily and assisting with his needs. Because he has caregiver support, when I spend time with my dad, I get to simply be his daughter and enjoy visiting with him rather than focusing entirely on caregiving responsibilities. His caregivers have truly gone above and beyond in providing companionship, kindness, and assistance that allow him to continue living independently in his own home. My dad has rated his last four caregivers all as “10s,” which says a great deal about the quality of care and relationships they have built with him.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about A Place At Home - Little Rock. Everyone is easygoing yet incredibly professional, experienced, and deeply compassionate. You can instantly feel how much they genuinely care about seniors and their families. They don’t just do their jobs, they go above and beyond in every possible way. Natalie is absolutely amazing. She is so warm-hearted and truly cares, not only about the clients, but also about every employee who serves others with such dedication. Darretta, the community liaison, is outgoing, easy to work with, and deeply caring. She makes every interaction feel effortless and meaningful. They are some of the kindest people you will ever meet, and it shows in the quality of care they provide. I could not recommend them more for your loved one’s care. If you’re looking for compassion, professionalism, and people who truly have heart, this is the team. 💖

We have been with A Place at Home for only a week and we are amazed at how incredibly patient and professional my dad’s caregiver is. Charlesetta is kind, attentive, and prepared for whatever Dad needs. She is immediately responsive when we have questions about what we should do to help him. We just can’t sing her praises loud enough. We are so grateful to Charlesetta and the wonderful staff at A Place at Home for the support they have given our family at a time of transition for our dad. Thank you.

I live in Mabelvale, AR, and A Place at Home has been providing in-home care for my 86-year-old mom. I’ve had a very positive experience with their team. The caregivers are kind, patient, and genuinely attentive to her needs. They show up on time, communicate well, and treat my mom with respect and compassion — which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I would recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, dependable in-home care for a loved one near Mabelvale, Jacksonville or Maumelle, AR.
