"Jheylynn helped mom on the first day, and she was satisfactory. They didn’t try to go above and beyond, just OK and nice. "

"I had a recent outpatient procedure at PAMF in Mt. View scheduled for 4 p.m. on Monday, July 3rd which many consider part of the long weekend. Due to that factor, my usual local transport was unavailable and others too far away. I was searching online and came across CSC home care. I am so happy that I did! I was pleasantly surprised with how many services they actually do offer outside of transport and know many others who might need one of their many services. Once I contacted them, I was quickly given an estimate which was very reasonable and was sent a contract online. I explained a few concerns and was put at ease right away by Natalie who was very caring and quick to answer any questions I had. The contract was easy to complete, and I was sent confirmation that everything was in place, and they don't charge until following the transport. I was contacted regarding the completed contract and any specific instructions and then received a call the day before my event to confirm everything was ready. Natalie and Destiny arrived right on time and had me at the location with time to spare. They gave me a card with contact info to put on the admittance form. When I was released, they were right there ready to get me safely home and offered any further assistance I might need if I wasn't feeling well. They are lovely, caring people. I found the entire event from the initial contact to them waving goodbye to me once I was safely at the door as one of the highest service provided. Most importantly, they care about you as a patient and a person. I know I will be using them again in the future and will recommend them to anyone who might have a need for one of their many services. They are wonderful! "

"We have just started using 1Heart Caregiver Services - Campbell Campbell, CA. They're great. When we called the agency, they listened to what we wanted and quickly followed up. We had an in-home visit with the girl who runs it. She came out with one of the client managers who helped with the scheduling. They came out and talked to my mom to get a clear picture of what she wanted. Then they matched her with the first caregiver, whom my mom loved. She was very outgoing and was attentive to my mother. She looked for things to do and did everything. She chatted quite a bit and communicated with my mom. Sometimes we'll get caregivers from other agencies that just sort of sit there and don't do anything, don't say anything, and you have to keep prodding them, but this one did a great job, and my mom is thrilled with her. They're going to be covering every weekend, both Saturday and Sunday. They do some housekeeping and cook breakfast on the weekends. The caregiver cleaned the bathroom and helped with some personal care for my mother. She helps her bathe and take a shower. She did some laundry, too. Then, she is her companion. My mother had a nice time. They're very easy to communicate with. We text if we have any questions or whatnot. Yesterday, we discussed the dates of who was coming for every weekend. We got the names, and everything has been summarized and scheduled."

"Arcadia had been very reliable and good for my mom. They are very interested in her well being and have helped improve her well being. We have a couple of very good caregivers currently helping her at this time. I've been happy with all them. Most importantly mom has enjoyed their companionship and always looks forward to it. I'd recommend Arcadia to others for sure!"

"Right at home provided truly caring caregiver for my mother. The caregiver was always on time, really hard working and cheerful! She took my mom for doctor's appointments, did errands and helped her a lot around the house! She even did some gardening with my mom. She went above and beyond to make her happy! I already recommended RAH to our friends and neighbors! "

"Senior Helpers provided my Mother amazing quality care over the past few years. The caregivers were awesome, kind, and very compassionate. I highly recommend them."

"My Caregiver, Neenee has provided me with Companionship, home making assistance, laundry, rides to appointments, house keeping, errands along with shopping and cooking with Lana. Caregiver has been with me almost a year, the longest Care Giver to date with Home Instead."

"My parents are using FirstLight Home Care Silicon Valley. They've helped us on and off for the last month. They've been great and very flexible in terms of timing and working with my parents. They've been very good. They're providing transportation services and some limited care services at this point. The caregiver has been really helpful and good. They come about once a week and as needed, and the billing and the scheduling have been fine. The fact is that with most in-home care services, the caregivers come regularly, and I appreciate that FirstLight has been flexible with my parents' schedule."

"I've been using Arcadia Home Care & Staffing - Monterey for a year now. They've been real good to me. I need help just to get in and out of the shower because my right hip is real bad. I need someone so I wouldn't fall because I use a walker. They help around the house. It's nine hours a week, three hours, three days a week. They take good care of me when they're here. Communication has been good. They've all been good to me when I call and ask to reschedule or whatever."

" 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 "
