Testimonials
“In the midst of recovering from a stroke at Mountainside Hospital, my 93 year old Aunt was urgently in need of a safe, effective discharge plan. A wonderful moment in the midst of confusion came our way when Cecile Sutherland was recommended to me! I was impressed from the start. Thoughtful, intelligent goals and plans were set to have just the right person at my Aunt’s home to gently but firmly guide her through recovery while returning to her own home. Ms. Sutherland’s comprehensive approach was easily accepted by my Aunt who is otherwise fervently independent by nature.
My Aunt received not only warmth but also wisdom in how to manage and adapt…exceptional follow through with daily updates is great. I know that this kind of care prevented my Aunt from having further medical or emotional crises. The companionship and creative approach to enjoy being home is wonderful.
Home care from Cedas is like gaining another relative! “ – Lorin
“My mom, A. Pace, was at Mountainside from the last week in June to the third week in July. She was suffering from labored breathing brought on by water in her lungs and around her heart and also had a few other minor conditions going on that resulted from being on dialysis for over 8 years. She is 86 years old. She was going to be discharged after being at Mountainside for three weeks, but before so doing, we were advised by the social worker that she had two choices before being discharged. She could go home with 24 hour home care or go into a nursing home. My mom was given those choices and she chose to go home at that time. Now the big issue was getting her the proper Home Care Services. A few private home care services were suggested by the same social work at Mountainsdie. One of the services being offered at that time was Cecile Sutherland’s Cedas Home Care. Well, lucky for my mother and I, I chose Cedas Home Care. After the interview with Cecile and her talking personally with my mom at the hospital I decided she was the right choice and I didn’t have to go any further. Yes, she went to the hospital to talk with her new client to get to know her before she chose the right individual to handle her care at home….…that’s Cecile. The ladies that she hires to take care of these elderly disabled individuals are compassionate and mirror Cecile in many ways…she certainly scrutinizes all these women with a series of interviews to make sure they fit w/the elderly person they are to take care of for whatever length of time is required for the individual’s well-being. She certainly does her homework. I can attest to that and if the fit is not right, she is always making regular visits to make sure everything is running smoothly and the client is happy. If she feels things aren’t working out between client and her caregiver, she pursues another “fit” to make sure all is well with her client. She goes beyond what you would think she would do to make everything run smoothly and effectively believe me. I am well satisfied with her services and recommend Cedas Home Care to anyone who is in the same predicament as I was…I can rest much easier knowing that my mom is receiving good care and Cecile is watching over her. ” – Donna C
“I have been very happy with the services and wonderful care that Cecile and her caregivers have provided for my parents. Although the focus of the caregiver’s attention is for my mother, they make sure that my father is also provided with the friendship and companionship he looks forward to. I especially appreciate the ongoing follow-up concerning the care giving process and the willingness of Cedas Home Care to make necessary changes and adaptations as my mother’s needs change. Thanks you for providing this safe and comfortable environment for my parents.” -Marlene R
