What Our Valued Clients Say About GOOD COMPANY SENIOR CAREAnd Its Caregivers
Dear Good Company,
Our family hired Jack's Good Company to provide services for our elderly relatives. Initially, Jack personally visited their home - even brought flowers! - just to "meet and greet" my relatives. I'm told it was a very pleasant visit. Since then, each member of his staff who has worked with me in coordinating services, or with my relatives directly, has been professional, helpful, and compassionate. I feel they are always looking out for the best interests of our family members. They are always responsive and courteous. They are available 24/7 for support, if their clients need it, which is reassuring for family members who live out of the area and can't be there if an emergency arises. Jack's company is perfectly named - they are definitely Good Company!
Sincerely,
Gwynnae Byrd
Dear Joni, Danielle and Good Company,
Thank you. You have made a difference in my life and the life of my mother, Patricia Vied.
My mother's health has been in decline for 2 years. She needs extra care that is difficult for me to provide working full time. When I saw the brochure for Good Company, I felt as if there was some hope in making the situation better for both of us. I called and spoke with Joni who understood our needs and scheduled interviews with potential caregivers.
Our caregiver, Vivian, has provided loving care for my mom. She takes her to doctor's appointments, run errands for her, and provides her with support and companionship. I feel they have also become friends in this journey-and she is a committed ally in my mom's quest to regain her health. It is comforting for me to know that my Mom is in good hands during the day.
Thank you Good Company for providing an invaluable service! I will recommend you to anyone.
Warmly,
Leslie Sloan.
Dear Joni, Danielle and Jack,
On behalf of my father, Dr. Graeme Williams, I am writing to let you know how pleased our family has been employing the services of Good Company Senior Care.
We have always relied on Good Company’s professionalism when arranging home care during and after my father’s hospital visits. Our main contact, Joni Lang and the competent staff work hard to match the right person with my father. Joni is very accessible and responds to any questions we have right away. She and Danielle Dowling go out of their way to stop by and discuss things with my father in person with the added touch of a beautiful bouquet of flowers on occasion. His current caregiver even came to the hospital to get some tips on physical therapy from his therapist, and, on a separate visit, just came by to spend some time with him.
Good Company takes pride in making sure they find the right match for their clients with in-depth background checks and interviews. And if there is a glitch in compatibility, the situation gets rectified immediately. The added attention they give their clients, such as sending birthday and holiday cards and thoughtful gifts, really shows how serious they are in making everyone feel well taken care of. I would highly recommend Good Company Senior Care for their excellence in providing care, their friendly staff and sense of professionalism.
Thank you Good Company for providing an invaluable service! I will recommend you to anyone.
Sincerely,
Brenda Creightney
To: Jack Merrick
Jack, a comment about your firm and your service. I am benefiting from the two visits each week and enjoying it as well. During the two four-hour visits a lot can be covered. Of course I save the heavy items for those days. Also, I'm "forced" to make a good list of things to do-or not do. This relieves more stress and worry than I had anticipated. We do get a good bit done if we wish. At my age and mobility this is indeed helpful. Your most pleasant and efficient Associate, Dorrie, makes all this possible.
All the best,
Alfred Woodill
Good Company was a godsend! My sisters and I were so worried about my mom’s post-surgery recuperation. We wanted to take care of her ourselves but were unable to do so due to our work schedules. We needn’t have worried. Within a day of notifying Good Company, two lovely women, Marie and Maria, were at my mom’s doorstep. The two of them cared for my mother in back-to-back shifts and were absolutely wonderful. Marie and Maria knew just what to do to care for an elderly woman in my mother’s condition and to put her at ease. Professional and caring, they made my mom’s recovery as pleasant as it could possibly have been.
I wholeheartedly recommend Good Company to anyone in need of competent, professional, caring homecare givers. As an added bonus, the administrative staff is sensitive, courteous and respectful. We couldn’t have been more satisfied.
Sincerely,
Laura Belloti
Dear Jack and Margot,
I do want to thank both of you for your assistance during Judi’s recuperative period. Your sensitivity, flexibility, efficiency and professionalism were instrumental in smoothing out the process during a particularly difficult time.
With everything else I had to coordinate, the one thing I didn’t worry about was the support that you and your people provided both in the hospital as well as in our home. You were there in the planning stages, guiding us as to what to expect. You were there in the physical stages with your encouragement and skills.
As I have already unhesitatingly done, I will continue to recommend your company whenever and wherever I again have the opportunity to do so.
Sincerely,
Roy D. Kaufman
To Good Company Senior Care:
I want everyone to know how terrific I think your agency is. Your caregivers are very competent, not only in providing personal care, but also in giving the extra attention to make a person feel comfortable all day. They never fail me at night when I need help. They are dependable and follow direction well.
I am especially impressed by the interest and follow-up visits by the administrative personnel not only in my home, but by phone as well.
I am not the usual consumer. I happen to be in the medical field and in a position to know a good agency. For that reason I can recommend Good Company Senior Care as outstanding!
Sincerely,
Patricia Buehler
Letter to the Editor: Larchmont Chronicle August 2003
I have never taken the time to write a letter to the editor, but thought this was certainly a situation where it was warranted. I want to thank you for your comprehensive Senior Outlook Section.
My grandmother recently passed away and my husband and I moved my grandfather in with us. He very rapidly deteriorated, literally within a short matter of days.
We desperately needed help with his care, but it was a Sunday and I thought we could not reach anyone until Monday. I then recalled the Senior Outlook Section and found an ad for Good Company Senior Care.
The owner then called me back shortly after receiving my page and immediately began to help us with our situation. Good Company provided us with excellent care, and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs senior care. All of the caregivers who worked with my grandfather were skilled and loving, and we felt as if they were part of our family. Thank you for compiling a good listing of resources, including advertisements, for companies like Good Company who provide such excellent services.

Dear Jack,
I wanted to thank you for Good Company’s excellent senior care services. Your thoughtfulness and personal touches in caregiving for my 90-year old aunt, Dorothy Sasso, were greatly appreciated, and the peace of mind felt by my family was wonderful. You made it possible for her to live in her home as long as it was possible, with loving, patient caregivers, and I know my aunt appreciated that, as well. Especially, the 24-hour caregiving services were excellent.
Though Auntie Dor is in a very nice care facility, there is still no substitute for “remaining in one’s own home.” Thank you for being in the business of providing just the opportunity for “aging in place.” In the years to follow, it is my hope that your company will continue to grow and prosper.
Sincerely,
Dorothy C. Schoonover
To Good Company Senior Care:
Our family had to make a decision in December 2005 regarding the necessary care our 90-year-old father required. After the revocation of his drivers license it became evident we needed help. Our family dentist and family optometrist both gave me brochures on Good Company. Having never researched home care companies, I chose to call Good Company and make an appointment to discuss our particular situation.
I was very impressed with the professional way my inquiry was handled. Within a few days a home care specialist came to our home, and we arranged an immediate schedule to fit my fathers’ current needs.
It’s been 6 months since we started and we are extremely pleased with all your caregivers. They understand the problems of my father, showing show great compassion and patience, and they already feel like family. They are dependable and I never have to worry about coverage.
It isn’t an easy task to make the necessary decisions for eldercare, and we are extremely pleased that we made Good Company Senior Care our choice. We recommend them to anyone who wants the best for their loved ones.
Sincerely,
June Oost & Family
Good Company Senior Care:
Just a short note to let you know how pleased I am with your service: Your caregiver (Michelle) is perfect for our needs. When she is here, she can and does give Betty 100% of her time and attention. She finds activities for Betty and keeps her busy. Those activities include walking, riding, shopping, going out to lunch, crafts at home, and many more. Plus, she takes care of some of Betty’s personal needs.
Your caregiver is perfect for the job, and she has given me some personal time, which I badly needed.
I would gladly recommend your service.
Sincerely,
James Hoppe
Dear Margot & Jack,
Thank you so much for your attentive and responsive care for “Dr. Burt”. We always appreciated your work and personal touch.
A very special thanks,
Lorie, Darlene and Brett Beard
Dear Jack,
Thank you for the wonderful service provided by your caregivers. My mother benefited greatly from the daily visits and assistance these last two years. The attention of the office staff in matching my mother with caregivers as well as their willingness to constantly adjust the schedule to my mother’s changing needs was exemplary. Now that my mother requires round the clock assistance, it was a relief to be able to turn to Good Company for that extended care.
I will recommend Good Company’s services to anyone who needs assistance in caring for the elderly.
Thank you,
Zazu Faure
Dear Jack and Margot,
We wanted to thank you for finding Ophelia Sanchez for Walter. They were a perfect match and she made his days at Ocean House very pleasurable. He looked so forward to his outings with her. How lucky we were to find you both.
And thanks so much for having such a wonderful employee in Jordan—she was incredibly organized, timely, thorough and very pleasant. What a lovely person!
Thanks again for all your support,
Fondly,
Marilyn
The Lowe Family
Dear Margaret,
Thank you so much for the wonderful support you and your staff provided my mother from June 2004 until her death on March 7, 2006. You became members of the family and treated my mom and I with the greatest respect and love. We never stopped talking about how wonderful you and the Good Company team are.
When I first started looking for someone to help me with my mom’s needs I interviewed several companies and was very particular about whom I would allow to be with my mom and trust in my home. I’m sure you thought I was a pain in the butt for being so picky.
Your representation of your company presented a picture of an extremely caring and professional organization. The others I interviewed were professional however none exhibited the empathy I felt from you. You personally assured me that you would handpick the assigned caregiver and expressed a willingness to work with me if I was ever disappointed. You came through on every promise and were there for us.
During my mother’s hospitalization you and your team were there for me for which I will be eternally grateful. Your support was over and beyond anything I could have imagined and gratefully appreciated.
I also appreciate the follow-up phone calls and the knowledge that I was not abandoned. I hold all of you in the highest esteem and would be happy to recommend you to anyone in need of extra special love and the best care for a loved one.
Sincerely,
Pat DeCambra
Dear Jack,
I want to thank you very much for all your help. Everything worked out perfectly, and I am so satisfied with my care that I am anxiously waiting for someone to call asking for a number to call for help. I will be giving you and your staff a glowing approval rating. I don’t plan on needing anyone for a long while, but you know that you will be the first and only Company I will call.
Again, thank you.
Sincerely,
Ruth Ann Cowan
Dear Jack & Company,
Thank you for the beautiful flower tribute to my mother. Also, my gratitude & appreciation are yours on establishing a caregiving agency that really cares. I will never forget the angels that came from your company.
All the very best,
Sandee Glickman
Dear Margot and Jack,
Many thanks for the beautiful spray of flowers Good Company sent to Joyce’s funeral. You were thoughtful to remember her last event. I think it is the end of an era with Joe and Joyce gone. You guys were terrific to send your very best people to assist her in her last months. We believe Julie should get a raise. She is an angel; trustworthy and honest in every way, and she inspires confidence. My mother loved her. We felt especially at ease on the days we knew Julie was on duty. Many thanks for all your efforts on behalf of Joyce. Please keep her in your prayers.
Sincerely,
Marlene Nebel
Dear Margaret,
Our families would like to thank Good Company for the professional services rendered in the care of our Mother, Phyllis Bishop. You worked with us to find just the right caregivers. Margaret, you and Michelle were always there when we needed you and it gave us peace of mind knowing you were there.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Anne and Nicole for going way past the extra mile for Mom. They cared for her like she was their own Mom. They were professional, kind, gentle and respectful of Mom at all times. We never had to worry about leaving Mom in their care. They were also very kind and caring with us, through a very difficult time. We can never thank them or Good Company enough.
Thank you for your donations to Inland Hospice. Should you ever need a reference, please give them our names.
Sincerely,
Brian, Linnie & Cole Drolt

Dear Jack & Co.
I just wanted to say that my mother’s last month on this planet was beautiful, pain-free and exactly what she would have wanted. Your crew of Angels is truly gifted and gave me all the help I could have dreamed of. They emanated pure love. Jose, Stacy, Noel and Catherine are beautiful divine souls. Thank you for helping to make a horrible time a little bit brighter.
Love,
Michael Vest
P.S. I still have Jack’s bowl. All the chicken pesto is long gone.
