So far the company has been good to me and my mother. We have no complaints. The switch was very easy and they communicate with you rather it be through email, phone or text. It's a good company.

Emerest is a great company. I switched from another company due to several problems. I have had a great experience with Emerest. The switch over was so easy with the help I received. I am extremely happy with this company, only wish I had known about them sooner.

Thank you to all who helped me switch over from another company! It was fast, simple and I could not be more impressed with the professionalism of the staff members that I spoke with. I appreciate the genuine kindness of those who helped me transfer over and answer my questions, especially Emerald! 😁😁😁

This was an easy and fast process. Being able to choose my own care taker was a safe and calming option. They are also always available when I need help. I think Emerest is a step above the other options.

I have a great experience with this company. I switched over from another company that was not so easy to work with. Emerest made the transition so easy! They had all the paperwork prepared and walked me through everything in a short amount of time. Their clock in/out system is terrific. I would HIGHLY recommend them!!

Since I prefer doing business online; pay bills, shopping, etc. This is the most efficient service that I have the privilege of working with. I was fed up with the paper timesheets, and phone calls to sign in/out. All you need to do is download the apps and you're ready.

The advertisement that I've received wasn't believable. But after I've spoken to the person was very encouraging and promising. I was getting paid $10.00 an hour. after speaking to the director of agency I was working for, she refused even a $0.50 increase. That is when I applied to 'We Pay 12". It was unbelievable professional staff and much better Curtis, and more money in my pocket, and easier and fast help when needed.Thank you for everything ,Dr. Van, Healy

We changed over a few months ago, so far it has been a great experience. My CDS is happy to be getting paid more. However, the "app" doesn't work because it asks for a certificate, that we don't have (phone, haven't tried PC) when I asked for help no one got back to me, and sometimes the phone service can be a bit frustrating, hence the 4 stars. The person we are working with is really nice, and very helpful.

I got to keep my nurse and she got the money she needed to keep working for me!! Thanks Emerest!!

We switched companies for a multitude of reasons, and I am so HAPPY we did. The pay is substantially more, the staff are quick to respond and helpful in every way. They are are open to text messaging, and they are always professional and polite. They give me weekly reports of the hours accrued, where our last company refused to do that, they didnt even put the hours worked on their check stubs. This company pays for every minute worked instead of docking pay by 15 minutes if you clock out 1 minute prior to your hour block. They also have a great clock in and out system that includes an app, which has been awesome!!I am very satisfied with our decision thus far!!!

Started working for Emerest in May 2020. Absolutely LOVE the staff and the level of comfort and rapport between myself and literally EVERYONE I've talked to in the office. At my old job, every time I needed to speak with anyone in the office, I would experience massive amounts of anxiety. With Emerest, it's the complete opposite. Each time I've called, it's like calling a friend. Each representative I've spoken to has been professional AND friendly- they've taken my concerns or confusion at face value and didn't make me feel incompetent for asking things/voicing my perspective. I have come away from each call feeling the depth of their dedication to their staff and consumers.Definitely recommend 110% whether you're looking for a job or you're seeking an in-home healthcare company that represents its consumers with upfront honesty and does everything in their power to make their experience with this company good, safe, and comfortable.

We are very grateful for Emerest. Due to Daniels serious health issues he had to move in with me because he could no longer care for himself, and with that, i had lost my job because i immediately became his full time caregiver. Emerest has allowed me to be able to continue to care for Daniel and also have an income to provide. This is giving us both peace of mind because i cant quite imagine leaving him in someone elses care while im not at home. I know he is safe. I cannot express how grateful we are.-Summer Bell

Everyone has been very polite and helpful in getting me approved to care for my elderly mother. My dad passed away in January and I had to move my mom in with me and didn't even realize there was a program like this. If you are caring for an elderly loved one or need an aide I'd highly recommend this service. I can't stress enough how helpful every person there I speak with is every single time I call. Thank you guys for helping this difficult time to transition smoothly and help getting my mother qualified.

I'm a client who brought my own worker. So they could get better pay. My caregiver is never invited to any event's they have in the office. One day they shorted there pay by one hour. We are not that happy with the sign in and sign out procedure that they currently have but over all they are a great company. There are things that need to worked out.

I have been taking care of my sister following her stroke for the past 6 months. Everyone at Emerest has been wonderful, walking me through the entire process and answering all my questions (no matter how trivial or stupid) quickly and with no judgement. They've made the entire journey for both my sister and myself all the easier.

I am so glad I switched! I worked many years for a home health care company that paid the bare minimum wage and sometimes would not pay on time. I enjoy getting paid on time and the correct amount as well. Also, every time I call the office the staff is so friendly and helpful. I am so glad I found Emerest! I will be sure to recommend this company to anyone and everyone I meet!

About our CDS Agency
Emerest works together with Missouri’s Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), Home and Community Based Services Division (HCBS) to provide Consumer Directed Services (CDS) to aged and disabled Medicaid participants throughout the state of Missouri. If you live in Missouri, have Medicaid and need help with activities of daily living, your friends or family can get paid $12 an hour to care for you. Call us today at 833-We-Pay-12 and we’ll be glad to assist you!
What Is Consumer Directed Services?
CDS is a Medicaid-funded program that enables disabled or elderly people in Missouri to hire the caregiver of their choice to help with daily activities. This caregiver, or personal care attendant (PCA), can be a friend, a neighbor, or a family member other than a spouse or legal guardian. A PCA can help with daily chores or hygiene activities, including:
- Food preparation, homemaker activities and medication assistance
- Personal hygiene activities such as bathing or grooming
- Mobility assistance, transportation and shopping
This service is administered by the Missouri Division of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), and is available to eligible adults over the age of 18. The goal of this program is to help participants live independently and choose someone they trust to provide them with care. Participants are responsible for hiring and managing their own attendants and partner with a CDS provider, such as Emerest, for payroll, compliance and administrative support.
Emerest currently pays caregivers the highest posted wage in the state of Missouri at $12/hour. Give us a call today to see how you can hire your loved one to facilitate the care you need.
