What Members Have to Say ...
“My most urgent piece of advice for those taking care of parents or themselves: Start early””
“I enrolled some 20 years ago … in the nonprofit … ‘Friends Life Care at Home.’ This allows me to still live in my own house and have the service of a nurse’s aide 12 hours a day. The aide takes care of my wife, does shopping, and drives me to the doctor’s office. We feel at ease in our own home and recommend this to seniors who do not like the confinement of a retirement facility.”

Excerpt, letter to the editor, “U.S. News & World Report,” December 17, 2007 |
“They make me feel good! Friends Life Care at Home is the greatest thing there is!”
“When you need help, you make just one phone call to the Care Coordinator and they help you. And they provide high-quality people to take care of you. The people are the greatest. I can’t say enough about Friends Life Care at Home and the people who have taken care of my husband and me.”
Betty Hallowell, member |
“We really didn’t want to burden our children with caring for us. This was an important part of our thinking when we joined Friends Life Care at Home.”
Miriam Finkel, member
“I was really pleased with Miriam’s care last year and so knew what to expect when it was my turn. The Care Coordinator took care of all the details. I’m not back to work yet, but hope to return in the next couple of weeks. We cherish our independence and are looking forward to things getting back to normal.”

“Friends Life Care at Home has that added quality that long-term-care insurance doesn’t have, the Care Coordinator to supervise my care.”
“As executive director of a county office on aging for a number of years, I know the health-care field … I became a Friends member to achieve my goal of living in my own home indefinitely. My home has memories, pictures, keepsakes … it means so much more to me than just a house.”
Peggy O’Neill, member |
“One phone call to Friends Life Care at Home, and they respond faster than my own family can!”
“We wanted to stay independent and never be a burden to our family, so we decided to join. A few years later my wife had several strokes. We could never have handled it without Friends Life Care at Home. We had an excellent nurse, Annette. She provided wonderful care to my wife.”
Norman Breyer, member

“We were cautious about nursing facilities and really wanted to be living together in a comfortable situation. Staying at home was the ideal setting for us.”
“We walk everywhere. We can enjoy the opera, the theater, libraries and museums because we chose to stay in our Center City Philadelphia home when we retired. Friends Life Care at Home has provided my husband and me with long-term care and financial protection to live a self-sufficient life.”
Harriette Behringer, member

“With The Affordable Life Care Plan, there is no large up-front payment, and I can invest some money for the future.”
“I had been considering joining Friends Life Care at Home, but I didn’t want to have the up-front expense. Now, without the up-front payment, I joined because I want to stay at home if I need care.”

“They not only provide coverage, but they provide the people who come to the home and provide the care.”
“People with traditional long-term-care insurance often do not know where to turn when they actually need care, but this is not the case with Friends Life Care at Home. They take care of everything … I’m very impressed with the people who work there. They know how to treat their members. They’re polite, friendly and easy to work with. They’re much easier to deal with than insurance companies.”

“I have clients [a couple] who were already members of Friends Life Care at Home before I met them, and that’s how I found out about the organization. They love Friends Life Care at Home. When the husband became seriously ill, Friends stepped in and took care of everything. They couldn’t have dealt with all their needs if it were not for Friends Life Care at Home!”

“When I make a referral, I know that the people at Friends will work with my client, not just for my client.”

“Many of my clients do not have any family nearby, so they need assistance if they are to be able to live at home. Friends Life Care at Home makes that possible.”
“… This [the Friends Care Coordinator] takes the burden off the member who often would not know whom to call if they need services. Friends Life Care at Home is well experienced in providing life-care-at-home services.”
