"Looking for care for a parent in need can be overwhelming and heartbreaking. The team at Right At Home is made up of caring professionals who provided us support and guidance during this challenging time. From the initial phone conversation, to the in-home evaluation, to the several staff members who have assisted my mother over the past year, to the management team who coordinates, our family has been pleased, relieved, and impressed with the level of professionalism and caring that have been given to all of us. My mother, in particular, feels tremendous gratitude for the help she has been given to attend to her basic needs as well as the company her caregivers provide. Safety, respect, and kindness are obviously core values of this team. We feel so very lucky to have found Right at Home and would recommend them without reservation."

"Home Instead is a great organization with a purpose that has become something of interest most recently in my life as I learn to adapt with my ageing family and the realization that we all have an end. The idea to be able to spend my golden age at home till I go home, sets my soul at peace rather then having to spend my final hours in a place that I dont know and away from the ones I love most in Life.

"I was using Qualicare Homecare - San Ramon, CA for my parents. When I was looking for somebody and made a couple of calls, they were the first to respond. They came out. I enjoyed the discussions I had with them and I just felt comfortable with them. I'm not using them right now. It was only for an emergency situation. They were very responsive. They just came in there immediately and took over the care of my mom. They were wonderful. I had to go out of town in an emergency. So they came in and just took over in terms of I bought everything I needed to buy and set it up and stuff. They took good care of my mom. She loved them, and I will use them again. The pricing seemed about normal or average from the billing perspective, I can say we're okay. They were very dependable, very professional, and they were kind, and very understanding of the circumstances I have been in. So I appreciated everything they did."
