Questions families actually ask.
Can Mad Tasker provide care inside a long-term care facility, not just at home? +
Yes, multiple reviewers describe hiring Mad Tasker caregivers as companions for family members already living in long-term care facilities, particularly during evening hours when dementia-related symptoms like sundowner's can be challenging.
Does Mad Tasker work with clients who have dementia? +
Several families specifically mention receiving care for loved ones with dementia, including a male caregiver being matched to a father with dementia and a companion skilled at redirecting and walking the halls with a resident experiencing sundowners.
How does Mad Tasker match caregivers to clients? +
Reviewers consistently note that owner Pamela Howell takes time to understand each client's personality, needs, and situation before selecting a caregiver, and families report feeling the match was thoughtful and well-suited.
Can Mad Tasker help with tasks beyond personal care, such as downsizing or transportation? +
Reviewers mention Mad Tasker assisting with home downsizing, arranging appointments, transportation, and post-operative care, suggesting the company offers a broader range of support than strictly medical or personal care.
Is Mad Tasker suitable for caring for two elderly parents at the same time? +
At least one family describes Mad Tasker successfully supporting both an elderly mother and father simultaneously, finding suitable caregivers for each with different care needs.
What should families clarify before starting service? +
One reviewer experienced a dispute over whether housekeeping tasks were within the HCA's role, so families are advised to discuss and agree on the full scope of duties expected before care begins.
