Right at Home Santa Barbara was recommended to me as a top home-care place by the clinic at their assisted living. Right at Home Santa Barbara is a beautifully run small company that excelled at matching up caregivers with my mother. I don't have to tell anyone with a beloved elderly relative in assisted living how difficult the lockdown was. But the caregivers who worked with my mom were not just compassionate and vigilant about her well-being, they also did her nails, fixed her hair, took her out for a spin in her wheelchair, accompanied her to doctors' appointments, washed her clothes, helped her to the dining table for her meals - and they were wonderful company. My mom became close friends with two of her caregivers and my husband and I came to love them, too and they will always be a part of our life. After my stepdad passed away in June 2021 and we were still in lockdown the extra care and company from Right at Home became more important. On Christmas day when our CA governor wouldn't allow me to have this important meal with my mom I wept. But when her caregiver sent me photos of the table she'd decorated and I called and my mom and her caregiver were laughing and having a great time - I was overjoyed. My mom passed away in July. I miss her terribly but I take great comfort in knowing how good her last year was. If you need home-care or have a relative who needs it, call Right at Home.

I was applying for administrative support person at this company. They did a screening phone call…read morewith me, then said they would set up a Zoom. I had to follow up to make sure I got a Zoom link. They gave me the link on a Monday afternoon for a Tuesday morning interview. Without sending me an email or giving me a phone call to cancel, they just did not show up for the Zoom. They sent a message on Indeed that they had hired someone else. I have no issue with them hiring someone else. My issue is that they disregarded the time that I take to prepare for an interview. Then neglected to tell me that they had canceled it. Very rude and very unprofessional. If they do not believe my time is valuable as an interviewee, I doubt they would take my time seriously as an employee. I would also be skeptical that they care appropriately for a person needing their type of care. I would never use their services as caregivers. Public relations manifest in many ways.

This is a perfect example of their dedication and support. I strongly recommend Love & Care if you have a loved confined to home.

About a month ago, Visiting Angels had scheduled an interview phone call with me regarding an…read moreadministrative assistant position. At the appointed time of the call, no one called. So I called them and was only able to leave a message. I sent them an email and asked about the interview. I got no response from either. About a week later, they sent me an email that they had hired someone else. I don't mind that they hired someone else. My issue is that it's very rude and unprofessional to just stand someone up on a phone call interview. I set aside time, and I do research and prepare myself when I have an interview. This shows that this company has no regard for an individual's time. It is indicative of how this company would behave in any situation. I would never entrust a person into their care, knowing this is how they behave. Public relations manifest in many different ways.

Over the last 6 years, I have had the occasion to work very closely with the LivHome office & staff in Santa Barbara. Their service has been as advertised - high quality and with a focus on patient and family satisfaction. The office staff is professional, and Jessica S., the "face of LivHome in the Community" is personable, fair-minded, professional and always responsive to the customers' needs. The compnay's response time has always been prompt - and while they may be a little more costly than other agencies - the adage holds true: "You get what you pay for!" The non-medical Home Care that LivHome provides allows people to remain 'independent' at home if that is what they desire. I would highly recommend LivHome to those searching for a high quality, caring, lower cost alternative to Long-Term Placement, as well as short-term services to assist with that transition home.

Amazingly, their hands on care staff are commendable, but overworked, and exhibit more professionalism than their management.
