Patient Testimonials
“
"I cannot thank Funke enough for the support she provided me during my recovery. I looked forward to her warm greeting each week and her cheerful demeanor never failed to lift my spirits. She was very thorough completing the household tasks I was unable to do myself, and during the pandemic she took every possible precaution to ensure I felt safe during our appointments. Funke was critical in my return normal life and I would recommend her services to everyone."
“Thank you again for all of your assistance in making my PSW experience so wonderful.”

“KRS Home care first off is one of the best companies I have had the pleasure of working with (MVC Feb/2018). KRS is the third company that has been sent my way.”
“It all starts with management. The leaders. The educators. The people making sure your every need is taken care of. Not to mention they go above and beyond to get you the help you need. They fight the fight with you!!!!”
“Maritia is the name of my first PSW. Not only did she come to my home to clean it twice a week, but she also did the dishes, dyed my hair, and even washed it because am I am unable to use my right arm/shoulder.”
“We still talk today. We developed a relationship. A friendship. I truly care how she is as she does me. She was great with my kiddos plus the two dogs and cats. She really cares. That is a trait that is hard to come by. However it’s natural. She is meant to help people. Yes she is a PSW but she’s also a therapist, an ear to listen sometimes and or best one a hug whenever you needed it. She is a force to be reckoned with. She’s a strong independent woman and I love that!!!!!!”
“But I’d have to say her personality, natural kindness and someone who wears their heart on their sleeve. Kinda like me. Instant connection!!!”
“Thank you KRS!!!!”
