"Arcadia provides 24/7 care for my 91 year old aunt. My aunt lives alone and has had some serous health and memory issues, including post-surgical care. I am her primary person for care, advice and medical response issues. Unfortunately we live several states away, so finding a trustworthy agency and people was critical. We traveled to CA to be with her for several days and was able to meet and observe the caregivers working with my aunt. We have found the caregivers to be thoughtful, kind and responsive to my aunt’s needs. My aunt’s personality can sometimes be difficult but the caregivers have dealt with it. Arcadia staff have had to interact with health providers that provide home health support (nurses, etc) and that has gone well. I would recommend Arcadia without reservation.."

"Lisa is great! She bathes, transports, assists in walking, bathing, walks the dog and many more activities. I am so fortunate to have her."

"I'm new at this & very pressured to find the right type of care that my Dad needs. So An employee from Senior helpers contacted me through a phone call or email. Sorry I can't recall. The thing is that I've been calling around, getting different places calling me & I've called places for more info but this guy D....was so sensitive for me not respectfully calling him back to confirm an appt visit. When I made the appt I had a date & time set up while the very next day they needed to reschedule to a different day. It was 2 wks in advance. So I went to the appt at my Dad's & nobody showed up. I called & left a msg asking when they we're going to make it today to the appt. They told me that the appt was at a later date & texted me later to confirm that latter date. So I said "No thank you & no need to reschedule". Here comes the date of that latter date. This time the lady that showed up was not getting an answer at my dad's house & I'm glad he didn't answer or even hear the doorbell because he was out back in the backyard. So she called me & said nobody is answering the door & I said because I never confirmed that date for the appt. I actually said just like I mentioned earlier that "I didn't want to reschedule". So that lady that went to my dad's was told that I confirmed but clearly missed the "no need to reschedule" message. D.... then called me soon after this missed appt & left me a rude voicemail & the exact same rude message to my email. He was scolding me that I confirmed that appt, it was very disrespectful to nit call him back, that I was the reason for the lady using up her gas driving all the way over there (BY THE WAY, IT WAS IN THE SAME CITY'S it wasn't that out of her way either. More like 10 mins drive)& her valuable time & travel to go all the way out there wasting her time. He sounded like he took the misunderstanding so personal. I was blown away to get his rude email & voicemail of him going off on me. He was really upset. So obviously I never called him back because he was already pissed off at me & telling me off. I don't need to explain myself after his rude attitude. Who would want to call back someone after that kind of treatment to a potential new client?! Not me! So be careful, walk on eggshells & be polite & respectful because if u get this guy D....& you're already looking at a few other places with the phone calls & emails with info. I was busy. There could have been some type of accident with me or my dad & he didn even ask me what happened remember I said "No need to reschedule...". I just couldn't believe his immature & ignorant messages he left me. He needs to work on his customer service or GET FIRED. I'm already stressing about finding a place for my dad etc. Don't call this place Senior helpers. He just made the whole company look bad & I'll never contact them again about anything. That was a mouthful but I'm only writing this review so nobody else gets caught up in a reasonable misunderstanding like I had & was blamed for it. Thanks, C......"

"My father was recently discharged from the hospital, but before he could be released, we were told he would need 24 hour care. The discharge planner recommended we call Golden Years. Carrie, the care manger, met with us at the hospital and helped us create a great plan. Now that dad has been home for a few weeks he’s doing much better. We so glad to have been introduced to Carrie and their staff."

"Senior Helpers of San Diego North is helping with my mom, changing her clothes, helping her in the toilet, helping her into her pajamas, reminding her about brushing her teeth, and helping her with her walk or those kinds of things. It's just a couple of hours each day. They are very kind and very patient. They seem well-trained because they speak slowly and loudly. They are aware that my parents cannot hear them. The services we received have been very good."

"We are very happy with our caregiver and the service they provided. Scheduling is easy and the staff is very helpful. Would recommend."

"I've been using AbideCare for two weeks now. They're young and efficient, and so far, they've been pretty good. The first one came in one day for four hours. The next week, I had someone for three days for four hours. They are here basically to help me. I had a knee replacement, and I'm crippled, but I can still drive because my good leg was not operated on. They help me in and out of the car and up and down the steps. When I go shopping, they help get my walker out of the car. AbideCare came out and visited me here, and I liked them very much."

"We are working with Homewatch Caregivers for my dad. It is generally positive. For the most part, they have been pretty receptive to our needs. My dad has unfortunately been in and out of the hospital, so we haven't needed them at times, but they're flexible about rescheduling. That is a positive aspect of the services they are providing. The caregivers themselves, according to my mom, have been very helpful. It has been pretty good. They provide basic caregiving and they help around the house. At one time they also helped with taking my dad to appointments."

"Eva and her team at San Diego Compassionate Caregivers provided great services for our elderly friends in Carlsbad. They provided compassionate care for many years all the way to the end of their life's. Thank you for all your outstanding support, empathy, professionalism, and ability to connect with our friends at a very personal level. "

"Caregivers stayed with our mom through the night to make sure she stayed in bed and had companionship when she could not sleep and was confused or frightened. They were always on time, personable, easy to talk with, and prepared for our mom's needs. They kept informative logs that helped our family. Staff and caregivers were always professional and compassionate. We could trust that our mom's needs were being met, and this helped all of us manage a difficult situation."
