When my husband (Wayne) was diagnosed with Alzheimer`s in 2019. I was suddenly faced with so many unknowns around his ability to cope with day to day living due to his memory being affected. I have been exhausted and stressed. Since the phone call to Universal Health Hub it has made a difference. Nurse Maya, very lovely and extremely sensitive asking Wayne questions. Her assessment skills meant my husband Wayne will be receiving the care he needs. I never knew I could get help. We had a visit from a caregiver named Faith. Faith is extremely friendly, caring, compassionate and makes Wayne feel comfortable. Spending quality time playing cards, talking, going outside for a walk and even trying to put a puzzle together. She has also given me good advice in certain situations. We are happy to have Faith our caregiver for Wayne. Just a note of thanks for your dedication.

Other home care providers would give me different prices for evenings, weekends and holidays but Universal Health Hub gave me one flat rate throughout the care hours. This gave our family peace of mind to plan our finances. Amazing Service!

Universal Health Hub doesn’t seem to send just caregiver; I can see the skill in the care UHH provides. Culture competency and cognitive empathy is visible in their care. Thank you for your work!

“I Highly recommend Universal Health Hub Services. They have been 100% transparent and easy communication online with family on daily care provided. Also, like how the staff takes daily self COVID screening seriously. Gives me and my family the peace of mind. I would recommend them to all those looking for services for elders, kids or anyone need of support be it PSW, nursing, meals, walks or even just someone to talk to.”

The biggest gift we have from Universal Health Hub is that their caregivers are consistent.Not sure how they manage to do this when compared to other home care providers. But kudos to you.

My elderly father was very well cared for during his pedicure home visit! The staff was very courteous, accommodating and professional! The results were very good! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my father!

Maya has an amazing team of senior caregivers. We are so appreciative of the kindness, care and professionalism we have experienced in taking care of my father. Faith and Maghi have been instrumental in my father’s overall health improving. Maya checks in every week to make sure everything is going well and if any changes need to be made. We are also able to read the notes that the PSW’s report on how each day goes. This gives us added confidence that our father is getting the best care possible.Universal Health Hub is a 5 star company. Couldn’t be happier!

Covid hit my 88 year old father. It was so great to find Maya's Company. They offered a much more reasonable price than other agencies. Had issues with my dementia mother, not wanting anyone in the house, changing their mind about having them and then changing hours needed of service. They had a lot to put up with my parents. Maya was very kind and helpful in this situation. When I called, if someone did not answer the phone, they would get right back to you. Not like other companies. It could take days. Yes, I truly believe you should contact Maya. She will help you in anyway she can. Thank you for everything Maya.
