So, we need services fo me, to help me with him cause, I’m sick myself so I really need you know, help. Cooking, cleaning, washing, trash, making beds, everything almost.
I love Advantage, that’s why I have been with them so many years, cause I love the workers they send out. I love Donna, I love Cheryl, I love Shaunda. But I love Advantage period. I love em. When I had problems I would call Donna. And if I need this, or I need gloves, or I need this or that, then she would help me with it. Or Roshandre would help me with it or Cheryl would hel me with it. They always help me with whatever I need, they was there. I’ve been with them so long you know it’s like, I’m just close to them, I just likes them.

To determine if an adult child with brain damage qualifies for home health services, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider, such as a primary care physician, neurologist, or specialist, who can assess their needs and guide them through the eligibility process. Additionally, contacting local healthcare agencies such as Advantage Home Care or insurance providers will help clarify the specific requirements and available services in their area.
