Their authenticity and kindness truly made an impression on us, and we felt heard, supported, and valued throughout every interaction. Finding care for a family member does not have to feel overwhelming when you are working with the right team. Gulraj and his team have a genuine passion and commitment to senior care, which is evident in the way they work together to support families and how they communicated with us. Their quality of care truly sets them apart from other home care agencies in the area. Gulraj and his team are truly exceptional, and I highly recommend their services.

My father had a wonderfully kind and conscientious caregiver with him during the weekdays, who helped my father with daily activities of living and allowed my mom to feel okay about going out for errands or other commitments, knowing my dad was safe. In the last month of my father's life, we also had a night time caregiver present. Throughout those difficult months, we always felt that the Right at Home team prioritized my dad's wellbeing and provided caregivers who felt the same. Gulraj has checked in with my mother several times since my father's passing. He is a genuinely compassionate person.

This was all new to us and when we called…read moreGrace, she was incredibly quick to respond, making time to meet that same day and provide care that night! She is an expert in what one might need - something that we really appreciated as this was new space we were navigating. Grace has a well trained team who are compassionate, lovely and gracious. She is impeccably organized, creating a month-long calendar and schedules so that your loved one will have as few disruptions as possible - providing a consistency in which only a few caregivers are chosen for your week or month. This was a stressful time with lots of unknowns (including financially) and all we wanted was to ensure the best care for our loved one. Grace will make it as straight forward as possible and provide care givers that you and your loved one will love. We are beyond grateful we found Grace and team and highly recommend to all of our family and friends. You will be thrilled you called her!

Although our family is moving out-of-state, I hope to find another care agency with as wonderful a team as the one here with Advanced In-Home Care.

Prior to my Mom entering…read moreinto this service, I had preconceived ideas about hospice as 'useful' but 'not something to be spoken about.' I could not have been more wrong. Dr. Joshi takes the time to meet with the family which is unprecedented in this field, and his kindness and serenity meant so much. Dindo Bustrillos was my Mom's nurse and it's hard to fully articulate how wonderful he was, is, and always will be!! His expert knowledge, compassion, patience, good humor, and beauty of spirit were there every day, and I mean EVERY day!! His medical knowledge is bar none - simply outstanding. And, his nurturing presence made such a huge difference as the days wore on and became more difficult. I don't know how Dindo is able to retain and exude joy and caring in such a difficult profession -- the fact that he can hold so much and help during the most harrowing times in such an impactful way is astounding. Thank you so very much to Dindo and Redwood Hospice for your help during the most difficult life transition I can imagine. I am forever grateful.

Redwood Hospice is a trusted partner whenever I refer patients and families for hospice services. Their team is responsive, professional, and truly patient-centered. One of the most impressive aspects of their service is their ability to have their hospice physician come out the same day to evaluate and meet with the patient and family, which brings tremendous reassurance during a very difficult time. Their liaison, Chris Tran, is exceptional. Communication is always fast, clear, and reliable. Chris is proactive, knowledgeable, and makes the referral process smooth for both the facility and the family. Knowing that Redwood Hospice is involved gives me confidence that patients will receive compassionate, timely, and high-quality end-of-life care. I highly recommend Redwood Hospice to families and healthcare professionals looking for a hospice provider they can truly trust

I have had an opportunity to use HomePlus Caregivers, I inquired about the home care services to…read morehelp with my grandfather who needed support with in-home care. The type of care which was required was 24 hour live-in care. There was a significant amount of questions that I asked Nellie, the owner of Homeplus Caregivers, in regards to the type of individualized care that would be provided for my grandfather. The first part of the process was to call and inquire about home care services offered through their home care service agency. Which is a small business family owned business and has been serving the Peninsula for over 27 years. This brought comfort and piece of mind to me because, I knew the care would be provided had a legitimate reputation. My family and I wanted to make sure the home care service agency, was the right fit for the care of my grandfather. Next, step was that Nellie came over and did a free 2 hour consultation. During this time a full assessment was done by Nellie to see, the type of support my grandpa would require during his individualized home care. Also, looking at the safety within home to prevent falls, showers supported with rails, to help get in and out of shower. It was fundamentally important to my family and I that the Caregiver providing the care would be a match for my grandpa. The caregivers at Homeplus Caregivers took the time to reach out to check-in with updates on care, a binder in which the caregiver wrote down the days events broken down, by providing; the days events, physical activity log, nutrition log, medication reminders, and what exercises were logged that were exercises that had been created by the physical therapist had as weekly exercises. If there were any discrepancies in the care for my grandfather, or other changes to his care was able to connect the owner of the business Nellie, didn't matter what time. Than the changes and needs would be implemented. In regards to the communication with the Caregivers, documented in daily notes, and addressed the rotation in their schedules to provide care 24 hour live in care, for my grandfather. The care provided by Homeplus Caregivers the owner Nellie, and Caregivers provided care which allowed the opportunity for my grandfather to stay at home. They provided the assistance with daily living tasks such as bathing, assistance with the bathroom, self-care support, medication reminders, transportation, social companionship and other home care services that were individualized for his care. With the in- home care services allowed him to spend the remaining of his life within the home my grandma and him owned. My grandpas care was provided by Homeplus Caregivers for 5 years from September 2016 to January 2021. My family and I our grateful that our grandfather had care provided with compassion, heart, and grateful that we had Homeplus Caregivers support from the beginning until the end of the journey. Although, it can be challenging when life has changed the day to day life for our loved ones, grateful I still have HomePlus Caregivers to reach out, and if my family, myself, or close friends Nellie and her caregivers our going to care for loved ones with all the care, dedication, and genuinely our about " Home is where the heart is". This is where my family, friends, and myself reach out to when we need care. As Homeplus Caregivers, Nellie and her amazing caregivers our able to provide care that is done with heart, compassion, and like no other in-home care services, each and every day!

We hadn't seen him rest that deeply (*snoring) in quite some time - so this was a gift in itself. -Dr Winnick is wonderful about stepping away, offering space to grieve, whatever is needed. We had about 10 mins with him while sedation took effect. -We also received guidance on how to handle our other dog during the course, having her present. - Next up is the IV with euthanasia. Super quick when administered, but my goodness so peaceful. -She took his clay paw prints after he passed. She invited us to talk to her a little about his life. -We received another moment to say another goodbye, then helped him onto a stretcher brought by Dr Winnick. She had his head on a pillow and wrapped him in a rainbow blanket . -Any animal over 35lbs needs assistance with Dr Winnick to bring to the car. My husband and I each carried a side of the stretcher as we wanted to be "pall bearers" of sorts for our 60lb dog. -Dr Winnick drove away with him when we were ready. - She also gave us materials on how to process loss of a pet with other pets and with our children. We even received a coloring book and story for our kids. Truly just - human kindness. We had ocean waves on the TV, a lit candle, crystals surrounding him, and the smell of bacon in the air. I couldn't imagine a better, more peaceful send off for my sweet boy. We opted for private cremation and will receive ashes in the mail in ~2 weeks. Thank you Dr Winnick for your heart, kindness, and compassion. And Amy who helped us with preparing for the visit and scheduling. The whole experience was seamless and beautiful. We're forever grateful.

The town of San Carlos is also the perfect walking town for an ambulatory elder! Across the street is the library. Two blocks away is the Senior Center (if your loved one wants more activities.) A block and a half away is the pharmacy. Three blocks away is the bank, post office and grocery store.

These other facilities were newer and fancier (complete with smaller rooms and 10%/yr price increases to keep their publicly traded parent companies happy!), but they didn't come close the warm and welcoming environment we found at the Elms. The staff are wonderful: happy, relaxed, dedicated and you can tell they truly care about the residents. The Elms is a nonprofit and was started by San Carlos; you can see the focus is on the wellness of the residents, respect of the staff, and bringing as much comfort and joy to the community as possible. The residents are lovely and my mother has made very nice friends (they had a little holiday party in one of their rooms this week, and another family brought my mom a small Christmas tree for her room). The downtown San Carlos location allows residents who are able can walk to the wonderful offerings on Laurel Street. We walk to restaurants, the farmers market and seasonal street fairs; it feels like a breath of normalcy amongst all the changes that have been forced on her over the last few years. The Elms has a good variety of programing for the various abilities and interests of their residents. Today my mom and I caught an acoustic guitar holiday music show in the lounge. It was such a gift to enjoy that with her. The holiday parties are quite fun and everyone participates. The administration reaches out at regular intervals to make sure everyone is doing ok. The housekeeping and medical staff have been very responsive and easy to work with. I imagine managing the expectations and needs of this age group is a challenge but I think they do a great job with a tremendous amount of compassion and patience. I believe most of the staff has been with the Elms for some time and everyone seems to know whats going on and has a great deal of competence. Ultimately the biggest winner in the arrangement has been my mom. Her neurologist said her test results have improved over the last year which she attributed to her environment and having socialization, quality food and stimulation (and professional medication management). Moving a loved one out of their home is a very hard choice, but I am grateful for the Elms staff and their sensitivity, kindness and caring they show towards the residents and their families.
