My 94 year old mother returned to her apartment in September 2024 after a fall and time in the hospital and in rehabilitation.    North River Home Care was recommended to us by a person we trusted.  Our experience with North River was excellent from start to finish.  Management was highly responsive, from our first call, and constantly monitored my mother's care.  The aides who were with my mother were all caring, and did a terrific job helping my mother maintain her dignity while assisting with necessary details of life.  My mother responded to this support and gradually grew stronger.  With time we were able to slowly reduce aides services from 24 hours daily to the point that no further assistance was required.  Over a month has passed since then and my mother continues to do very well.  This recovery was in great part the fruit of the caring help and gentle assistance North River provided to her, bringing her back to pretty much as she was and once again walking long distances (no not running but she never did).  .  We are all extremely happy with the support she received from North River for which we remain most grateful.

After our father had experienced multiple hospital stays, we wanted to avoid another rehab facility. We decided to move him back into his assisted living community with a 24hr caregiver. Jen Davis was compassionate and easy to work with. The caregivers were all wonderful, especially Cheryl and Dourina. We used NRHC for 3 weeks and highly recommend this team to other families looking for 24hr care.

North River’s caregivers provided comfort to my father and my family when we really needed it. They emphasized with us and gave us our privacy when we needed it. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs help caring for an elderly patient.

The North River Team was excellent while dealing with my parents care. Our Care Advisor Mia met with us and went over all they can do and gave me frequent updates. The home aids were wonderful in dealing with my mother who can be difficult and helped my Dad run errands as well as with hygiene and self-care. When the time comes for more help with my parents home care we will definitely be contacting North River Home Care.

Hiring North River Home Care came at a difficult time. My wife was dying and came home in hospice care. Having good and reliable Home Care assistance was essential to providing round the clock attendance at my wife's bedside. Julia Hawkins was North River's Client Service Manager. She was attentive and helpful describing how Home Care would work when we met in our living room. She was easy to reach by phone subsequently. My wife's home stay lasted two days. The North River Home Care team was here when my wife arrived from the hospital and there were three sequential aides with my wife at all times. My wife died the next day while Luisa, North River's Home Care aide, was caring for her. After the hospice nurse left Luisa provided the care my wife needed allowing my sons, her sister, and me time to sit and grieve together. Luisa was extraordinary. She was there but sensitive to our time and place at my wife's bedside. Luisa's experience and knowledge about care and dying were invaluable. After my wife had died and we had said our good byes Luisa prepared her for the undertakers and allowed us time to be with her for the last time. While our time with North River Home Care was very short, the care and service were necessary, important, and very helpful. I would recommend anyone looking for this kind of support to reach out to North River Home Care.

Client Testimonials

“We had a wonderful experience with NR Home Care. We had an excellent woman, Patricia Laffin for quite a few years and she took exceptionally great care of my Dad. He looked forward to her visits. I would highly recommend your company to anyone. Thank you for everything.”

Louise F.

“I used North River Home Care for my 90 year old mother while I was on a vacation. I had someone come for four hours in the morning, family was there in the afternoon, and then four hours in the evening. The care given to my mother was outstanding and they came beforehand to look at the house, hear my special instructions. I would highly recommend them. Unfortunately my mother passed away a year ago and I do not live in the area so I won’t be using them again but have recommended to many.”

Marion C.

“We have used a couple services and found NRHC to be exceptional in all five key areas: Ease of contact, quoting/assessment, scheduling, quality of direct care personnel, accounting/billing. All five key functions were flawlessly implemented; very reliable and professional. NRHC should be a model for home care services.”

Al C.

“Gina and Michaela really are like extended family at a time when actual family can’t be a part of our loved ones daily lives. They enrich my mom’s life with their personalities and caring. Thank you and North River for providing great care.”

“I was very pleased with the service my mother received from North River, Norwell. Kari Kelly was a tremendous help to me and my family, at a challenging time. She was professional and always went out above and beyond. The attendants that worked with my mother were compassionate and kind. We appreciate all of your help. I highly recommend North River. Thank you.”

“North River is my first phone call when a patient will need private home care. They respond quickly to my requests, are very reliable, and always let me know how my patient is doing.”

“We can always count on you to do a great job with our residents.”

Resident Care Director at an Assisted Living Facility
“I am writing to tell you how pleased I am with your company. When I first hired your firm I had been using another health care company that I was not pleased with. I of course was looking for a compassionate, reliable and professional group of people to care for my father who is 85 and living in an assisted facility. Leaving the care of a loved one is always difficult because you never think someone can care for them as you would. I have to say I have been very pleasantly surprised. The aides that you work with have been a very patient, knowledgeable and compassionate staff. Your automated “check in” system puts my mind at ease that everyone is in place as they should be.

I regularly get calls from you just checking in and bringing me up to date with small details about my Dad I would otherwise be unaware of. The fact that the aides can tell me what my Dad needs for supplies as well as pick them up when I am in a pinch is a huge benefit for me. I thank you for your continued attention to detail, phone calls and suggestions as to how we can make my Dad even happier and more comfortable while remaining as independent as possible.”

Client’s daughter in Hingham
“I want to thank you for the wonderful services I received from North River Home Care. I don’t know how you do it but you employ ANGELS in every sense of the word. The personal care attendants you sent to care for me were all ANGELS. They were all extremely kind, sensitive, vary caring, and each had a wonderful giving spirit. They went far beyond their duties. It is very difficult to lose your independence and modesty; however, the personal care attendants that came to my house took care of me, as if my family came to care for me. I felt very comfortable in their company as they were extremely compassionate. They were also wonderful company.

I would also like to thank Mrs. Helfrich, your nurse, as well. You cannot imagine how much I appreciate having your company care for me. I received the most wonderful care and consideration not only from your employees but from both of you. Your attention to your clients and employees, along with your attention to every care detail is what makes your company outstanding. My deepest gratitude.”
