- NSNorma ShearerAug 16, 20255.0Summer: I so much appreciate all the help you have given me. It takes so much pressure off me, that I cannot thank you enough for all this help. You have sent me very nice, qualified people and I am so thankful.
- KWKaren WickAug 1, 20255.0This is our 2nd experience with 2nd Family to care for our family. The staff is caring and attentive, and helped our loved ones navigate their life challenges. We are grateful for their support.
- PPPatricia ParkinsonJul 11, 20255.0We are happy with Tues - Friday caregivers. The Monday caregiver stays on her phone walking John place to place, whispering or listening to stories, or family- friends while we walk or do business making me ask her to take her calls outside/other rooms, She does well cleaning, folding clothes, & helping John pick clothing, fixing lunch. She has good intentions and tries to do well. And we appreciate the majority of all your caregivers. Awa and others help John find places he has appointments.
- GCGreg CiambruschiniJul 4, 20255.0From the beginning to the end everyone at Second Family was tremendously helpful and responsive. Like many families finding and choosing care options was stressful and challenging. SF made the entire process easier for our family and I would definitely use them again when needed.
- BDBill DoneganJun 26, 20255.0Unfortunately, we only able to have them come for a few days. But the aides that they sent were terrific. Great work ethic. When they didn't have anything to do, they asked for what else they could do to help.

What services will my policy cover?
The vast majority of long-term care insurance policies cover all non-medical services provided in the home.

Each policy is different, and we can assist you in determining exactly what your policy covers.
I have a long term care insurance policy. What happens if I need more care?
