Helping Hands has provided caregiving services for my parents in assisted living for many years. They have both passed away now. My father was 98 years old and my mother was 102. Helping Hands provided daily care for them by assisting with grooming, bathing, medication assistance, help with dining and companionship. There was also an excellent nurse available when needed. His caregivers helped them to perform daily tasks with loving patience and expertise. I visited every day or so and was able to witness the very capable attention and kindness shown to them first hand. When his facility went into lockdown from the Covid virus and I could not visit anymore, the caregivers reported their progress to me and sent me pictures of them. I have grown very close to the caregivers and think the world of these very special people who were very responsive to any requests I had. They were wonderful people and I feel honored to have known them.

I am writing this review based on my personal experience with this company for my dad. This company from the start promised caregivers that would best suit my dad’s personality. From the start there were multiple caregivers coming into my home. There was no stability of who was going to take care of him. My dad has dementia and needs consistency. I had to keep calling representatives to constantly replace poorly experienced caregivers. They would come into my home, leave my dad in his room and fall asleep in the living room on my couch. Another caregiver, refused to leave my home when I asked him to leave because he was sleeping in my kitchen. He actually got mad that I wanted him to leave. I was on the phone with a representative during the whole incident. The company also called him and told him to leave yet he didn’t! I have no idea how they are employing people who are extremely unprofessional. It doesn’t stop there! My dad who has had brain surgery fell 2 times under caregiver supervision and hit the floor with his head. We had to take him to the hospital. For the care that I am paying for and expecting this should not be happening. I made the company very aware about my expectations and complaints multiple times. They tried to change caregivers but continued to send me unqualified people who could not do the only thing I asked for which was STAY BY HIS SIDE. This is not the care I want for my dad. However, these were just a FEW of the experiences from the care my dad received. I talked to the manager Kaitlyn who was understanding but too little too late to make things right. There were multiple chances and opportunities for this company to give the service they promised. I preferred to go with another company that will make sure they employ quality caregivers. 24 Hour Home Care is aware of all my complaints and about this review. Extremely unfortunate to have to experience this I hope no one else has to.

Ventura 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 Ventura:
Senior Nutrition Program

The program is donation-based, but eligible seniors who cannot afford to contribute may still receive meals.
California Weatherization Assistance Program

The Department of Energy operates a Weatherization Assistance Program for California residents, giving priority to those aged 60 and over.
