Testimonials
“TLC is the BEST! My dad had Alzheimer’s, and I used various home care agencies with him (had assorted problems with all of them). When my aunt started needing care – around 4 years ago – I decided to give TLC a try, as the company was compatible with her Long Term Health Insurance. I have only one word to describe them after all this time – FANTASTIC! They are the most caring, connected, compassionate people around. I trust the girls completely with my aunt. I don’t know what I would do without them! I recommend them 100 million%, without reservation. They go above and beyond!”
