Testimonials
"My aide from EAAAA has been such a great help to me. She cleans my house as it should be cleaned, she will go get my groceries if I need her to. I don't even have to tell her what needs to be done she just does it and will ask if there is anything else I need done. She is a great cook, she cooks for me most every day, and some days, after does what needs to be done, she just sits with me and talks if I look like I just need company. I think I would be lost without her now that I have her."

"I would recommend their services and I certainly appreciate the kindness that has been shown."
