We have, my wife Bonnie and I, been contracted to Essential Care since August 2020, are ongoing clients, and are very satisfied with the services received. Any problems with cover have been rapidly resolved and all the Caregivers have been kind, considerate and efficient. We are Seniors each with our own health issues, and had experienced care from previous Agencies which did not come up to our desired standards. This is not the case with Donna and her staff who have our complete trust. Peter Ashurst MD, FRCP.” Regards Peter and Bonnie

Provider Response

Thank you so very much for your kind words. We all love caring for you both, I particularly enjoy visiting with you and our chats. Donna - EssentialCare

Essential Care does a superb job with my father, working through his sometimes difficult personality to make sure he has the care that he needs. They are always on top of his unique requirements and understand that experienced staff matters. Highly recommended.

Essential Care has been helping take care of my mother's various needs for 9 months now. They help me manage her mediations that I put together and they distribute at the appropriate times of day. They also check on her throughout the day, make sure she is eating, and assist her with showers, etc. They are very helpful and responsive and the caregivers we have worked with have all been very friendly and efficient. It definitely helps take some of the stress off my shoulders knowing that she is well taken care of! Thanks Donna & Team

Provider Response

Hello Kathy, Thank you for the review. We are all happy to help you take care of your mom. I enjoy hearing some of her stories. EssentialCare.

Essential Care caregivers are very caring to my mom who have been taking care of her for the last 5 years. They manage her medication that she needs 4 times a day as well as a well check and other things she might need assistance with. Always done with a friendly caring smile! It’s a wonderful peace of mind, knowing that my mom is safe and taken care of.

Provider Response

Thank you for your kind words, We love your mom and you as well. Always here to help!

We're using EssentialCare for my mom. It's friendly personal care. The aide's attitude is great. They come in and out throughout the day because my mom gets medicines five times a day and they help her with any personal needs that she has. I fill the pillboxes, and they hand out the pills. They set up the nebulizer machines and make sure she takes her inhalers, and they make sure she eats. But they're not qualified for wound care or IVs or anything like that. Communication is good. They're very responsive, and their needs are met. California nursing care is expensive, but I think the value is good.

Provider Response

Pamela, Thank you for the review, we appreciate it very much. It is our pleasure to help you care for your mom. EssentilCare. x

Essential Care has been a blessing to me and my family. They have been supportive and understanding from Day 1, and flexible with our needs. They listen and are easy to talk with. They work closely with our insurance provider to make sure all documentation is being provided. Most importantly, our Mom is happy.

Provider Response

Thank you for your kind words your Mom is a delight to care for. We strive to create the happiest and most comfortable environments for all the families we work with.

Essential care has provided in home care for my mother, and father and I could not be happier. We started with a few hours a day, for the last two years it has been 24/7. Even when the situation is hard they are able to handle it caring for my very difficult 96-year old mother, and 91-year old father with dementia. The caregivers are very knowledgeable and know how to take care of their clients.

Provider Response

Thank you for your kind review. We love caring for your mom and dad. Even when things were challenging. Working together as a team I think is the key.

I started using Essential Care for my aunt, for medications and some ADLs. Then after a few months, she was put on hospice 24-hour care. My aunt loved the manager and caregivers. She was able to be home with trusted care!

We hired EssentialCare for a day every week. The caregiver is very nice and does a good job. They do errands and help with light housekeeping. The billing is OK. I get an invoice once a week. The owner is very nice, personable, and answered all my questions. We made an arrangement that was satisfactory.

We have hired EssentialCare for my mom. It has only been for a little bit more than a month, but everything is going well. The caregiver has been working out great. She takes care of my mother's medications, she takes her to doctors' appointment, she helps her with laundry, and she takes her to the grocery store.

Provider Response

Thank you Sherry, Your mom's care giver truly enjoys spending time with her to hep with her daily activities. We are here to help you and mom in any way we can. Take Care, Donna

EssentialCare provides intensive care for my husband. They get him up and wash him, get him dressed and shaved, and give him breakfast, lunch, and then dinner. Then they get him ready for bed and put him to bed. I thought the caregiver is excellent. They did really well.

Donna and her team has been of great service helping my mom. She's provided flexible hours we needed more care and transitioned to less care as my mom has been able to become a bit more independent. Her staff is always caring and courteous. Donna responds quickly when change is needed or questions arise. It is comforting to know I can rely on Essential Care to assist by providing help my mom needs and allows her to continue to live at home.

Provider Response

Thank you so much for your kind words. We truly enjoy looking after your mom. It is our absolute pleasure to help her to stay at home.

My dad has dramatically improved since Donna and her staff have been caring for him.He is much healthier. He gets his medicine on time, his sugar level is always documented. We don't have to worry if he is eating or drinking properly any more. His clothes are always clean and most important he is Happy.

The care has been excellent under the current manager. Previous managers were totally unacceptable so I am grateful to have the person we have now. I am closing my LTC services today but not because of any fault of EssentialCare.

EssentialCare sees our services as a partnership with you in caring for your loved ones. To begin, we provide a FREE senior care assessment-in your home or at one of our convenient offices to better understand the situation of the family or friends and the best form of care for the senior. One of our care managers will meet with you at the time and place of your convenience, during which time your care options will be discussed. Next, our care managers review the assessment and use leading technology to help select a quality caregiver match for your senior.

With our "100% Satisfaction Guarantee" EssentialCare is your most dependable, on-time choice. We only hire caregivers with a proven history of reliability.
