My family hired Starlight Caregiving initially only for daytime, 12 hours at a time, to assist my father as his ability to get around and care for himself became impaired due to illness. It gave us peace of mind to have someone with him in case he needed help, and to also ensure he took his medicine on time.
My father requested caregivers who spoke Mandarin Chinese, although English was fine as well, and Starlight provided many for my dad to meet, starting with a different caregiver each day for a few days, then asking for feedback. My sister and I were able to communicate this via a group text message feed with their administrative staff, which assisted with narrowing down which were the best fit for him. The text messaging was also handy for schedule change requests, instances where a caregiver arrived after the retirement home front lobby was locked (so we had to meet them ourselves), and other times where quick responses were needed.
Once we settled on a regular schedule, 7 days a week of 12 hours per day, it was typically the same 3 caregivers that came. Schedules and caregivers assigned, along with their daily notes, were visible through an app. This kept us informed on how our father was doing without having to ask him every day.
When I was able to be in town with my father, we could reduce hours or skip days with at least 48 hours notice. About 3 weeks after starting, my father’s condition declined to needing 24 hour care, and Starlight was able to fill that need within hours, the same day.
There were a couple of scheduling mixups during our time with Starlight, but they always hurriedly filled the shift as soon as we notified them of an absence via group text, and the prior caregiver typically stayed until someone else arrived unless we said it was ok to leave. Nan/Sarah graciously once stayed over an hour longer and waited in the lobby to let the next caregiver in through the locked door.
During our 6 weeks with Starlight we experienced 10-15 different caregivers, daytime and overnight, in 12-hour shifts. We found them to be caring, adaptive to my father’s needs, conscientious, and respectful of my father’s condition and dignity. Although of varying experience levels, it seemed just about all of them had past personal experience with pancreatic cancer in their families or clients. One caregiver, Roanne, had even worked at a sister facility/retirement home as a CNA in their assisted living area. Their willingness to talk to me about their experiences and what to expect really helped me personally as well.
Overall, we are grateful to have found such a responsive and caring company to assist us and provide my father with the care he needed. I would not hesitate to contact Duanni and her team for service again.

I’m with Kindred at Home. I was just looking at a calendar yesterday and I realized that I have been with them for three years now. Compared to a couple other agencies that I used, on a scale of 1 to 10, they’re a 10, and the other ones did not supply people that were qualified. Kindred does a better job of screening their applicants, and that’s important. They do general light housekeeping. The girl that I have comes and she sweeps my entire downstairs and then she mops my entire downstairs. She goes to pick up my mail by the front gate because I live in a gated community. I have a bedroom upstairs, so she makes my bed and changes the linen when I need it changed and cleans the bathrooms. For me, I just need her once a week. She does grocery shopping as well. I have a spine injury, so she takes me to the doctor’s appointments. My caregiver is very pleasant, very educated, very knowledgeable, and very easy to get along with. Right now, I’m extremely happy with them. My care is paid for by my long-term insurance company. I pay upfront, and then the insurance company reimburses me, so they process that very quickly. It’s a two-step process, you don’t have just the caregiver come, but you work with the office, so the management is very quick to respond as well. They’re a little bit more expensive, but the quality of care is superior compared to the other ones that I’ve used.

San Jose Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in San Jose:
Department of Aging and Adult Services (Santa Clara County)
Address: 353 W. Julian St., San Jose, CA 95110
Phone Number: (408) 755-7600
The Department of Aging and Adult Services offers in-home supportive services, nutrition programs and adult protective sources to eligible seniors. It also provides support and resources for caregivers. Each program has different eligibility guidelines, but seniors who have Medicare health insurance generally qualify. The local Meals on Wheels program is managed by this department.
Farewell to Falls Program
Address: 300 Pasteur Drive, Stanford, CA 94305
Phone Number: (650) 724-9369
Farewell to Falls is a free program offered to people aged 65 or older who have either recently fallen or are concerned about falls. It’s offered through the Trauma Service and Emergency Department at Stanford University Medical Center. The program focuses on fall prevention and offers tips, home safety assessments, home exercise programs and more.
Health Trust (Healthy Aging Initiative)
Address: 3180 Newberry Drive, Suite 200, San Jose, CA 95118
Phone Number: (408) 513-8700
This program ensures that vulnerable populations living in California’s Silicon Valley receive the services they need to stay healthy and engaged with the community. The Healthy Aging Initiative focuses primarily on services related to housing, food and chronic diseases. There are a wide range of programs in these sectors, and most people over 65 qualify. A diverse group of volunteers help to keep the program running.
R.Y.D.E. Transportation Service
Address: 10104 Vista Drive, Cupertino, CA 95014
Phone Number: (408)255-8033
The Reach Your Destination Easily Transportation Service offers curb-to-curb transport and local trip planning for all seniors over the age of 65. Rides should be planned in advance and are available from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. or from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Fees are fixed based on the number of miles to your destination and income guidelines. Trips up to 4 miles start at 90 cents or $9 depending on income.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
