Cambridge At Home Member Testimonials 2009
I never thought grocery shopping could be such fun - it is all so convenient - not to worry about parking - not to lift the heavy bags and most of all to meet some lovely people including our driver Dick who is a walking “Google” at Harvard - we have enjoyed all the events that we have attended - hats off to the staff -you are just great and we thank-you so much –
Rena and Walter
CAH has provided me with important services (shopping) and programs - lectures, museum trips all very enjoyable and well organized. The monthly calendar helps me plan available free time. The description of activities is efficiently presented with good follow-up. Meeting new people is fun; everyone is friendly.

So far, I have a very active life and have used Cambridge at Home more for their excursions and interesting events. If and when I must give up my car I will certainly be using their shopping programs. I hope to lean on them heavily as a provider of services when that time comes. I'm so glad they're here for me.
Betty
During the past two years at various times we have needed the services of a carpenter, a painter, an electrician, a tiler and a handyman. On each occasion the person or organization recommended by Cambridge At Home responded promptly, did a workmanlike job, was pleasant to deal with and made a reasonable charge.
Lee and Joe
My husband and I have been enrolled in Cambridge At Home since the beginning. We have called them for referrals for handymen, locksmiths and other help. We have not yet needed some of the many other services but consider them insurance for the future. The people have been prompt, kind and competent. Thank You Cambridge At Home!
Joan and Raymond
1. I not only get to get to go grocery shopping at my two favorite stores but I get help with carrying bags and get to meet interesting and charming people.
2. I have been able to get rides to doctors at the last minute with knowledgeable and kind volunteers.
3. I get to go to the ICA (which would be impossible otherwise) and have been to concerts and poetry readings at members' homes.
Teejay
I live in a duplex apt in the Harvard Sq. area. I have used CAH for many purposes: have found an excellent driver to take me to places and concerts at night: have used an excellent cook and plan to use them if I ever need more help for special needs. I also have attended several Museum trips, two of them included bus trips. I have found CAH to be an excellent resource and their representatives you talk to on the phone are helpful and resourceful. I recommend them highly for those of us in our later years (I am in my early eighties!)
Virginia
My wife and I have used CAH for grocery shopping, to find a hairdresser who will come to the home, to find a visiting nurse, to find a reading group. I have also been to an MFA exhibit in which the docent was actually the curator of the exhibit. No request is too big for Kathy, Kristen or Sarah. CAH creates a wonderful sense of community.
Sam
My husband and I toyed with the idea of giving up our membership until we really needed it…but before I could do so, I broke my femur and realized quickly that I wouldn’t be able to survive without help. Cambridge At Home found me home health care aides to help me around the house and drive me around town to do errands. It’s been a godsend!

Cambridge At Home Testimonial from a Member's Son
We are very happy with all of the great things that you set up for my 91-year-old mother. You have made it possible for her to live her dream of remaining independent and self-sufficient in her own apartment, while at the same time knowing that she is safe and well cared for.
John, son of Anita
