After a recent meeting with Vannesa at PSW to go I can say I am highly impressed with her caring understanding of how to deal with clients. She really showed me how passionate is about building a connection to her clients. She always walked me through how that connection can create a better over all experience for both the PSW and the client More...

Vanessa and all of her team were amazing with my grouchy papa bear. Very patient, kind and attentive. Would highly recommend. So good to have their number on hand- they were able to book in PSWs with short notice, so helpful. More...

PSW to the Rescue provided wonderful support at home to our 90 year-old parents! Their kind and caring assistance gave us peace of mind and trust that they were always in good hands and well looked after. Margarita and Hardeep became like members of the family, whose visits Mom and Dad welcomed each day. We are grateful for everything they did for our parents! More...

Vanessa and her team are a God send when you need personal support after medical procedures, aging or disability. Her team offers kindness and compassion in the comfort of your own home, and I will continue to recommend them to my family and friends.

PSW to the Rescue did come to my rescue when we needed their help. Vanessa and Mariella were very responsive and quickly and efficiently arranged for flexible last minute scheduling of overnight PSW care for my husband in-home hospice care. Forever grateful for the peace of mind made possible due to the excellent kind, caring, compassionate attentive PSW service of Susan. Based on the few months of services required, I do not hesitate to recommend this organization. More...

I am so happy that we were introduced to PSW to the Rescue. Vanessa has been so helpful and supportive. On several occasions my father’s psw wasn’t able to make it and PSW to the Rescue stepped in. My parents feel relieved knowing they can turn to Vanessa and her team when they need help. More...

PSW to the Rescue was available to attend to my elderly mother on request. The PSWs were kind and caring. They were able to provide daytime and overnight care when needed. That gave me comfort knowing my mother's needs were well looked after. Thank you. More...

If you were searching for a PSW I would highly recommend Vanessa and her team at PSW to the Rescue. Her PSW's are compassionate and attentive and will help with anything from companionship to appointment assistance. Often when working with an agency you do not know what kind of employee you will receive but all of the PSW's hired by Vanessa give 110% when with their clients. More...

PSW to the Reacue is an excellent company. So kind, caring and compassionate. We are fortunate
for their care and efficiency in tending to our needs.

Vanessa did a fantastic job caring for my 95 year old aunt. I highly recommend her services.
Ken
They started out strong…
BUT… since then there’s been many 1.5 hour showing up late, changing personnel 5-6x for my 87 year old mother… and yesterday the replacement girl never showed up at all and they didn’t call me to let me know!
I strongly recommend going somewhere else

Good evening Kenny, We thank you for providing a candid review of our services. We acknowledge that your mother did have multiple staff visiting her after your regular PSW was no longer available due to an unforeseen leave of absence. On behalf of us all, we appreciate your constructive feedback. We will take this into consideration to improve communication and policies to mitigate the effect felt by clients due to unforeseen staffing changes. We wish you and your loved ones all the best for 2024. Regards, Maria Barrantes Barreto PSW to the Rescue Inc.
Dominic Di Clemente
You will be hard pressed to find a more caring, empathetic, hard working and enthusiastic PSW than Vanessa Vargas. My late mother adored her and was always happy to hear Vanessa was on her way.
Thank you Vanessa for all you did for my mom. I will always remember it. God bless you.

PSW to the Rescue have been providing assistance to my parents. They do a great job and they are good people!

PSW is a family owned service that’s flexible and focused on the very best care. They do anything needed with no strange contracts or need to make large payments up front. They are trusting, kind and experienced across a large range of care services. I can’t image there being any thing they can’t do. My mom started seeing improvements in her health the first day PSW cared for her. You will be better for having this lovely group of women in your life. More...

PSW to the Rescue are AMAZING! After spending 9 weeks in the hospital my mom returned to the retirement home. She slept
23 hours a day and ate very little. I called PSW to the Rescue on a Sunday afternoon. Vanessa came later that day and has been assisting my mom at lunch and dinner for less than a week. In this short period of time Vanessa was able to get my mom eating in the dining twice a day and going for daily walks. I find Vanessa incredibly attentive, caring and loving. I highly recommend PSW to the Rescue.

PSW to the Rescue really rescued our family when our 94 year old stepmother contracted COVID at Christmas 2022. They were available immediately to help her follow the isolation protocol at her retirement residence. They provided cheerful, friendly people who carried out their duties in a caring fashion. They were easy to contact via text messages. One one occasion when they were having trouble finding staff one evening they gave us good notice and in the end managed to find someone. They kept us aware of the need for bringing in additional supplies when necessary. We have nothing to compare PSW to the Rescue with to rate them but we are grateful for the help they provided us.

Of all the PSWs that have come to our home to help my Father, PSW to the rescue is by far the best! They are absolutely the most caring, thoughtful and dedicated and the only one my Father responds positively to. I would highly recommend them!
Cheryl
I cannot say enough great things about PSW to the Rescue; we were so pleased with their services. They came to us when we, as a family, were not sure how to deal with our mom. She was living in a retirement home & was experiencing falls; we were told to contact this company to assist us. Thank you for your assistance & understanding, greatly appreciated. Our family truly benefitted from having the PSW's with my mom each day for 3 months. It is a great service, great PSW's & we wouldn't hesitate to contact them again. Cheers!!! More...

Vanessa provides exceptional PSW support for my 96 year old father. She arrives on time and communicates clearly and consistently regarding care needs. Vanessa provides photos and updates during the visit or after the visit which is a nice personal touch. She is caring, kind and professional and we are so grateful that she has come into our lives.

Vanessa and her staff have been life-saving for myself, my sisters and especially our Mom. We contacted Vanessa as my Mom was being discharged from hospital in a very weak state. She was physically and mentally weak. Vanessa responded immediately and provided PSW assistance immediately. They provided round the clock help for a week and each and every PSW assisted my mom in a truly compassionate and professional way. They kept us updated and put my mom’s care first. We are truly impressed and appreciative of all their help. More...
Melody Barnett
Vanessa and her staff far exceeded our expectations. We hired them strictly to ensure our elderly Mom didn’t leave her room at the retirement home when she contracted Covid. My Mom deteriorated very quickly and Vanessa and her team quickly changes roles, from “guards” to caregivers without us even asking. They took care of my Mom for the duration of their 12 hr shifts and updated us regularly. I was grateful when Vanessa and her Mom were there with me and my Mom when the ambulance came to take her to the hospital. We will forever be indebted to them for their kindness and professionalism and genuine caring. More...

Working with PSW was really great. They were upfront about fees and services offered and described how overnight services would work. I received daily video and pictures of my mother going for walks and enjoying meals. My mother has bad dementia but appeared thrilled with the people who “visited” with her and helped her with daily life. Thank you. More...

I could not be happier with Vanessa Vargas. Her care and kindness with my mom was exactly what we needed overnight at the hospital. Vanessa was flexible and was able to show up at a last minute request. She was God sent and gave me the peace of mind that my mom was in good hands. She is very easy to work with and very professional, supportive and accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend PSW to the rescue. Thank you so much for everything Vanessa! More...

Immediate multiple qoutes. Instead of me doing the work ghey came to me
What do you love most about your job?
What I love about my job is to see the smiling faces when I walk through their doors; they know they will get excellent care and, most of all, caring and compassionate Personal Support Workers (”PSWs”).
What inspired you to start your own business?
There is a shortage of caring, experienced, and compassionate PSWs. We enjoy what we do and want to share our knowledge and experience with our clients.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are a family-owned and operated business. Your loved ones are our priority, not just another client - we treat them like another family member. Our clients' joy when we get to their homes, and the relief families feel when their loved ones are in good hands.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
No, our services are provided in person to support our clients truly.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
1. Limiting the number of PSWs per household
2. Ensuring continuity of care to provide families with consistent staff and limit multiple contact with various individuals or facilities
3. Use of masks, including 3M masks, whenever asked
