While we are always happy to provide references, there's no greater joy for us than when we get notes from our clients and their families. If you'd like to leave us a note of your own, please click here to e-mail us. Here are just a few things people have to say about us:

​

"I am delighted to see that Breige Fitzgerald and Marian McDonagh have begun their own senior care service. Breige has made a real difference to my family for over three years. She provided compassionate, caring, and dedicated care for my father during the last two years of his life while at the same time being a true friend to my mother during very difficult times. The trust she developed with our family with her care really helped us leverage our time and to be there for my father when it really counted. Breige approached every visit with my parents as if she were family. She and Marian are now providing companion services for my mother and continue to make a real difference in her quality of life and in allowing me the ability to balance commitments for all of my family. Breige and Marian – thank you for your continuing care, your dedication and warmth, and your conscientiousness. I wish you all good things for your business; your new clients will be lucky to have you in their lives."

"Gentle Hands Home Health Care, founded by two lifelong friends, Marian McDonagh and Breige Fitzgerald, came to my rescue this winter. (An accident had left me with two broken legs and stuck in a wheelchair for some months.)

What Marian and Breige did, with great good cheer and unlimited energy, was to help me live at home and fulfill my responsibilities to my family. They are the invaluable, utterly reliable allies you’ll want by your side when you need extra help.

They and their employees solve all sorts of practical problems. They have years of experience, they are gentle and patient, rigorously honest, very hardworking, good humored and very resourceful in thinking through problems and difficulties to be surmounted.

I give Gentle Hands my highest recommendation."
