I highly recommend Starlight Caregivers for anyone who is looking to have a loved one cared for. Our family is presently using Starlight Caregivers for the second time in the last few years.
A few years ago, I needed help for my mom, who lived alone and was at a point where she had difficulty cooking and caring for herself and was also developing mobility issues. With difficulty getting down her steps to just go outside and no longer able to drive, she was alone all the time. At that time, I met with Duanni H. who was incredible to work and communicate with, as well as being very understanding and comforting. We started with someone a few hours every other day, which gradually increased to full-time care, but not yet 24-hour care. Starlight was incredibly flexible and was always able to schedule caregivers right away whenever the schedule needing changing. Once it became evident that my mom needed 24-hour care as she started falling when trying to get to the bathroom during the night, the cost of in-home 24-hour care was the same as that of an assisted living facility and that is when it was decided she needed to move and we would no longer need Starlight’s services.
Fast-forward two years and my mother-in-law had a series of incidents that left her needing 24-hour care after being hospitalized for several months. Now my husband’s family needed help and I recommended Starlight. Wanting to assure for themselves that Starlight was the best choice, they interviewed several different companies. Starlight won hands-down. Angel from Starlight met with my husband and his brother and through her they were able to see that Starlight was the most professional company of all they interviewed with, as well as met all of the criteria they were looking for. Starlight is still providing care for my mother-in-law, although the hours and days have reduced as she improves proving that Starlight is always happy to adapt the schedule as needs change.
All caregivers have been wonderful. It takes a special person to be a caregiver and all have been caring and compassionate as well as knowledgeable, efficient, prompt, and easy to work with as well. I know that Starlight goes the extra mile in checking backgrounds and qualifications, and in meeting with the person they will be caring for to assure compatibility.
I also enjoy the website’s family portal where we can look at the schedule, and see each caregiver’s picture and qualifications.
Angel and the office staff are readily available, quickly responsive, compassionate, always a pleasure to speak with, and always able to make sure all needs are met.
I would also like to say that during this Covid-19 pandemic, Starlight has had their caregivers take all necessary safety precautions and we have never felt uneasy with anyone coming in to take care of my mother-in-law. Safety is our utmost concern and with Starlight, we have never once worried about her being at risk.
As you can see from the above, I definitely trust Starlight Caregivers with my loved ones, and not only can I highly recommend them, but my husband’s family highly recommends them as well

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.
