This company is EXCELLENT!  I had an unexpected need for 24/7 home health aids for my 85 year old mom (after she went through an emergency appendectomy) during this past Labor Day holiday weekend, and Hummingbird came through! Within hours of my first call to Victoria late Friday afternoon, she had someone at my mom's apartment in assisted living in Stuart, and Victoria worked tirelessly throughout the entire holiday weekend to line up someone for every shift (day and night) all the way til 8pm on Labor Day Monday. And I was able to communicate with each of the 5 caregivers throughout their shifts directly by text, which was SO valuable and comforting. With the help of these ladies, my mom was able to get back on her feet and resume her routine. I would use this company again and absolutely recommend them. They will be the first company I call if a need arises in the future (and did I mention that this was at the last minute during a HOLIDAY weekend?!)

Hummingbird Care Services has been extremely helpful and caring in assisting me in finding just the right caregivers for my elderly mother. They matched me with caregivers that were skilled, kind, patient and were a perfect fit for my mother and our family. By doing so, they went above and beyond to help us at a time when we needed it most. I will always be grateful to them for making a difficult situation a lot easier for us. I rate them the best of the best.
