“What a treat, and how comforting, to know that a friendly and familiar face will be on hand to take me to and fetch me from the airport—at any hour of the day, any day of the week. And how nice to know that I don't have to wade through the Yellow Pages ads, wondering who is competent and reliable, among trades people, and who isn't. For those in physical need of assistance, and for those who just need an extra set of arms, legs, and brains to make life a little less stressful, CoralGables@HOME is the answer! Thank you for being there!”

Fleur and Terri Sequeira“There are not enough thanks possible to express to the staff of Coral Gables @HOME for their kindness and courtesies extended to my mother. They provide safe and reliable transportation to and from doctors as needed, weekly trips to Publix, and excellent companies for various home services we have required. This wonderful group has taken such a huge load from my shoulders, I am so grateful to each and every one. May God bless you all!”
Carole Adler (daughter)“What I like about Coral Gables @HOME is: EVERYTHING!!! They have been so helpful to me and for me. Whenever I call for assistance, it is taken care of immediately. The drivers—ladies and gentlemen—are so kind and courteous, and full of patience. I am 92 and believe me, it takes PATIENCE to deal with me. I have called on Coral Gables @HOME for recommendations for home services and the companies and workmen have been excellent. I cannot say enough good things about Coral Gables @HOME and their staff. I am sure I have made lifelong friends.”
Jane Adler“I want to thank you for helping my 90-year-old mother have a much-expanded social network. Your frequent check-in calls to her and rides to her weekly elder luncheon help her stay connected to the community, and feel like a special and valued senior member. She considers all of you her friends and supporters, and you help ward off the loneliness that often comes to the elders from so many losses. Thank you.”
Barabara L. Goldman, Ph.D. (daughter)“We like CoralGables@HOME because of the numerous services provided and the secure feeling that those services and the friendly staff are there when we need them.”
Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Fewell“I am the very first member of CoralGables@HOME, for almost a year now. I am legally blind and can no longer drive and Coral Gables@HOME has been invaluable for me. They take me to Doctor, hospital, and other appointments. They also go grocery shopping weekly, and take me whenever I need it. They are always pleasant and friendly, both employees and volunteers. I've also enjoyed many of their social events, including a tour of Coral Gables. I have used several of their vendors, including maid service, and found them extremely satisfactory. They have also had lectures, which I have found very informative. I would highly recommend CoralGables@HOME.”
Edith Reiss (Coral Gables resident for 62 years)“The first and most important quality to me in the CoralGables@HOME program is the wonderful Executive Director Marli Lutz and her most capable staff, especially Mercedes López-Labrada. I knew when I met them that the program, which looked good to me from the outset, would be run efficiently, and that any extra steps needed would be taken for my welfare. I have not been disappointed. Every need I have asked for has been met with a friendly smiling face, and a follow up to be sure I was pleased with the services (and I have used many of them). I am most appreciative. I certainly recommend the program to anyone who would like to make their daily life a little easier.”
Leslie Rivera
“When you don’t feel well, have errands to do, and can’t do them nor have help from the usual sources, some angels come to your rescue—Gables Angels! These are warm-hearted ladies who help; they don’t do lunch. I, for one, am certainly glad they exist. Coral Gables@HOME is a Godsend.”
