Understand that my mother was brought to the home and immediately put into hospice care through Ace Hospice. The hospice nurses were over the top wonderful. When you are in a rush trying to find a board and care home for a loved one whose days are numbered, you tend to sign things without really reading them thoroughly. They have a clause in their contract that states that there will be no refund for monthly rent. Meaning if you pay a new months rent and your loved one passes away the next day, you forfeit all of the rest of the months rent. My mother passed away 7 days into the new month. I expected to get back a pro-rated months rent. That's when they bring up the clause in the contract and keep your money. If you decide to move your loved one here, be aware of the contract that you are signing and read and understand everything. I figure they took over $4000 of my mother's money.

I have a grandmother that needs assistance with daily living and personal activities and this was the place that I felt she will feel more at home. It was clear that this place is something special! The staff here are genuinely caring, patient, and always go above and beyond to ensure the comfort and well-being of their residents. The level of attentiveness and kindness they provide is truly remarkable. They make every effort to be available whenever needed. from calls, texts, FaceTime, I have peace of mind for my grandma knowing that she is well taken care of. If you're looking for a place where your family member will be genuinely cared for and treated like family, I wholeheartedly recommend DLC Elderly!

Update: Wendy from their office reached out after the earlier review was posted, to apologize for…read morethe mixups in scheduling. She also committed to overseeing mom's care from the admin side, to ensure no further mixups occur. Since that time, caregiver schedules have been set timely, with good communication so that all involved are informed of the schedules, or changes in schedules. Again, the caregivers themselves have been wonderful, and now that we're on the same page with scheduling I think things will work out well with HomeLife Senior Care.

Since it was last minute we had a few gaps in the schedule but they kept me informed at all times when they were trying to find people. Since it was such a last minute need, I totally understood the staffing issues and was okay with it. I know I'm lucky in the sense that I was able to fill in as needed. We didn't need them for long sadly but over the next 4 days they made sure she was okay and took care of her as needed. Much like the Hospice nurses, each care nurse was perfect for the scenarios of their shift. We would totally recommend them.

It quickly became obvious that I was going to need full-time in-home care for her during my absence. That evening, I made a phone call to Visiting Angels of Livermore. They offered to provide a full no-commitment assessment, and I accepted. The next day, Mr. Keith Beck, Executive Director, came to my home and evaluated Mom's situation and needs. Mr. Beck was on-time, professional, organized and efficient. Following the assessment, we were introduced to a recommended caregiver who, assuming my approval, would be responsible for Mom. She was professional, very conversational with Mom and an experienced caregiver. By the end of the appointments, I was confident that Mom would have good, comforting care while I was gone. I was extremely impressed that Visiting Angels responded so quickly, and was also able to provide and dedicate quality staff in a timely manner. I continued the caregiving services on a part-time basis after I returned home as Mom was still not quite stable. Another caregiver was introduced and assigned. After a couple of weeks of continued part-time care, Mom became much better and I was comfortable with stopping the services. I highly recommend Visiting Angels of Livermore. All of my experiences (and my Mom's) were positive. It is a very well managed business with a reliable, kind, and supportive team: owner, office staff, and caregivers. Thanks to Visiting Angels I was able to enjoy my vacation. I will definitely use them again when and if the need arises. If you are considering in-home care for a loved one, Visiting Angels of Livermore is it. An excellent Yelp score....5 Stars all the way!

Then the errors on the company side are them sending people that are not qualified for the job and do not even meet the expectations of the contract you signed for. Those are managerial issues, not the faults of the caregivers. Problem is, the turn overs, companies do not see these caregivers for long. This is not a career but an entry level job for most of them. This is an industry problem though. And if you are paying for a service rather than hiring your own, you are paying for their payroll, staffing, bonding and insurance.

DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY Medical and Physical Support…read morePain & Symptom Management (Grade C): Failed to warn about high sensitivity to Morphine/Ativan in a nearly 100-year-old patient; resulted in two days of over-sedation. Medical Equipment (Grade D): Unnecessary "bundled" equipment arrived without transparency. Crucially, delivered an unsafe, bed with 40-year-old design bed with malfunctioning manual rails, leading to a patient fall and injury. Medications (Grade C): Late-night deliveries (after 8 PM) and inadequate supply for basic needs like constipation. Personal Care (Grade C): Aide was inflexible regarding scope of care, refusing basic help with a meal despite the patient's physical weakness. Emotional and Spiritual Support Counseling (Grade F): Minimal contact and zero emotional support. The social worker was dismissive, suggested the patient use briefs instead of the bathroom for caregiver convenience, and eventually stopped visits entirely, citing the VA as a reason to disengage. Caregiver and Family Assistance Emergency Response (Grade F): A two-hour nurse response time following a stroke. The responding nurse was unable to answer questions, used a CPAP instead of required oxygen, and failed to check swallowing safety until prompted. Communication (Grade D): Lack of compassion and poor coordination. Management was unavailable on weekends, and formal complaints to the Director of Nursing went unacknowledged. Administrative Deficits: Reliance on disruptive phone calls rather than a modern patient portal or written care plan. No consistency in staffing and a failure to respect the primary caregiver's work schedule for coordination.

When we moved to Antioch four years ago, she had lost her interest in watching television, reading, and spent most of the day sleeping in a chair. I feared that she was about to become bedridden, and that I would have no choice but put her in a nursing home. This changed thanks to the splendid adult daycare provided by the Bedford Center, where she has been going for the last two years. My mother enjoys riding the bus that takes her there, loves being with other senior citizens, the activities that take place in the Center, and is always saying how good the staff is to her. I must also point out that the advice that the nurse and the dietitian have given us has been invaluable. Thanks to the Bedford Center, my mother now has a schedule and something to look forward to five days per week. Although she requires a great deal of maintenance, they have taken excellent care of her. They have improved my mother's quality of life considerably, and the chances are that, if it were not for them, she would now be living in a nursing home. In a nutshell, there is no question that the Bedford Center constitutes an important asset to the city of Antioch.
