What Families Say

“Roxy has worked with my folks, and now with my mom as dad passed last year, and has done so for a couple of years now. We’d had a bad experience with an aide who stole from my folks, and were very careful when finding someone new. Roxy was initially one of three aides helping mom and dad (now mom has two), and she has been wonderful.”

John M.

“We felt completely comfortable with Roxanne from the moment we first met her. She is very approachable and addressed our concerns honestly and quickly. When replacement aides were needed, Roxanne found substitutes quickly and efficiently and completed background checks on potential caregivers. From our experience with Roxanne, we would highly recommend her to help families through a difficult time.”

Donald Schumacher

“I would like to thank Roxanne Kish from Family Alliance of Western New York for helping my Dad and family out when he fell, and we were told by hospital staff the best plan was to put him in a nursing home. Roxi provided dependable staff to help us keep him safe and in his home. They are part of our family, and I am grateful to you, Roxi, for making a very difficult decision to keep Dad home a reality. Thank you.”
