About SYNERGY HomeCare of North Atlanta in Alpharetta, GA
The people behind our home care
If you’ve been searching for a home care agency for your care or your loved one’s care, then you know there is a sea of sameness in the dozens of home care choices, making it difficult to actually choose one. And we know that can be frustrating.
SYNERGY HomeCare North Atlanta is owned and operated by faith-based, caring mom, Sue McCormick, who know what it is like to balance the care of children with parents and who wanted to make a difference in their community by providing a quality service at an affordable price for this sandwich generation. They are both owner-operators and make it a point to be available to their client’s at any time of the day or night. They know that many will call in crisis mode on a Friday afternoon discharge from the hospital and we do whatever necessary to meet the needs of our clients on their time table.

We used Synergy to help care for my ailing father recently, and they really stepped up to the task. I found the caretakers to be very compassionate, caring, and gentle. My father felt at ease around them
From an administrative point of view, Synergy was very flexible, accommodating, and easy to reach. They were able to keep up with our changes in schedule driven by medical needs.

All of the caregivers are very attentive to my parent’s needs. They are kind, gentle and very patient. Synergy does a great job of 24/7 coverage. The caregivers are willing to communicate on a regular basis with family members. And any issues ate taken care of immediately by staff members. Highly recommend Synergy!

SYNERGY provided 24-hour care for my mother for a little over a year. My mom had ALS and could not speak and was unable to move on her own. From start to finish, the service provided to us was absolutely incredible. The communication was always on point and the caregivers basically became a part of our family. We had used a few different agencies before going to SYNERGY and I really wish we had found Synergy earlier. I cannot recommend them enough.

I have nothing but positive reactions to Synergy’s home care. Each person who came to take care of my wife had a great attitude and was willing to do whatever was needed. I was impressed with your ability to hire consistently good people. The fact that someone always answered my phone calls was awesome. If asked, I would gladly recommend your company. If a potential client has questions, I’d be happy to talk with them.

SYNERGY HomeCare has been an absolute blessing to our family. Whenever we need emergency care for our mom, they have been able to send caregivers at a moment’s notice. When our schedules would have to change, they have been understanding and supportive. The owner, SUE, always wants to know what’s working for us and what isn’t and she adjusts for our needs accordingly. Would HIGHLY recommend.

What an amazing resource in a time of need. Sue at Synergy got me the additional in-home care mom needed within HOURS of our speaking on the phone. All staff supplied were well trained, professional and VERY kind to both mom and me, and interacted well with the in-home hospice care that was already in place. One in particular was onsite at the time of mom’s passing, and had experienced the events that lead up to the final moments of a loved one previously. She walked me through it, let me know exactly what was going on, and was there for prayer and comfort. 5-star recommend.

Synergy took excellent care of my mother. They had quality in home care providers, and they were quick to answer phone calls and answer and resolve any concerns we had in the beginning. We tried a different agency prior to using Synergy and we were VERY happy with Synergy. We had a positive experience with them and would highly recommend.

Synergy was the third home care service I hired during my father’s illness in 2018/19. I was scared, frustrated and completely confused on next steps after his hospital stay. I’m so glad I contacted Synergy. Everyone I interacted with was kind, professional and compassionate. My father actually liked each of the assistants assigned to him – which was rare! I’ve already recommended Synergy to a friend and he is also pleased with the service.
It would be an honor to care for your loved one.
