Kris Agency & Home Care, Inc.

    169-14 Hillside Ave., Jamaica, NY 11432

    Highly skilled, compassionate in-home care

    I used their CDPAP/HHA in-home care and was very pleased - aides were highly qualified, helpful and courteous, and Mrs. Lall was a standout caregiver. The staff are professional, attentive and efficient; the facility is clean, classes are small and well-ventilated, and the location is convenient to transit and stores. Training and in-service were smooth and supportive - fun courses, wonderful teachers, a no-judgment atmosphere - and I'd highly recommend them.

    Summary of reviews

    Reviews present a mixed picture of Kris Agency & Home Care, Inc., with clear strengths in caregiver demeanor and training but persistent operational weaknesses that affect reliability and client experience. On the positive side, multiple comments highlight courteous, helpful caregivers and several specific references to professional, attentive aides. The agency appears to offer a full range of home-care staffing options (including HHA and CDPAP) and runs in-service and training courses that many participants described as well-organized, supportive, and effective; a few reviewers singled out individual caregivers for particularly strong performance.

    At the same time, a number of reviews describe variability in caregiver performance and consistency. While some families encountered competent, compassionate aides, others reported caregiver conduct and competence concerns. This pattern suggests inconsistent hiring, training reinforcement, or oversight practices that lead to uneven care quality between assignments.

    Operationally, communication and scheduling are recurring areas of complaint. Reviewers described delays in office responses, unclear scheduling, long waits for paperwork or certificates, and instances of missed shifts. These themes point to weaknesses in administrative coordination, follow-up, and contingency planning for shift coverage. Several comments also referenced problematic interactions with office staff, ranging from brusque behavior to disorganization, which compounds the impact of scheduling and reliability issues when they occur.

    Billing and payroll surfaced as another notable theme. There are indications of payment-processing failures and at least one serious claim related to unpaid wages; overall, reviewers expressed concerns about billing transparency and the agency’s prioritization of revenue over seamless service. Documentation and certification turnaround times were also mentioned as causes of frustration for trainees and clients alike.

    In summary, Kris Agency & Home Care displays strengths in caregiver warmth, training programs, and a convenient, clean facility environment, but prospective clients should be aware of recurring administrative and operational shortcomings. The most consistent patterns are inconsistent caregiver quality, unreliable shift coverage, weak office communication, and issues with payroll/document processing. Families considering the agency would benefit from clarifying scheduling backup plans, payroll procedures, expected documentation timelines, and points of contact before engaging services.
