After an injury to my legs I was left mostly immobile and unable to do much in the home we hired Field’s Care to help with domestic duties and some times some personal care. The staff that came were great and really respected our families privacy. My legs are now much better, however we still use Field’s Care on occasions for domestic duties. I have recommended them to friends and will continue to work with them in the future
