The staff was so lovely and accommodating and as we walked around I noticed that they had at least twice as many staff as I've seen at the other places we've explored. It really made me feel reassured that my family member would be very well taken care of. My mom was also very pleased with the idea of having her own room, and since she loves to garden in her free time, the nurses assured her that she was more than welcome to get her hands dirty if she wanted to. I really wanted to find a place where my mom can feel at ease and happy but where she can still be looked after, especially in an emergency. I think we've found the perfect place.

We were very happy having my sister live in Trinity Hills Estates for the 10 months she was there…read more The house is lovely and very clean and located on a beautiful residential street. My sister had a beautiful big room with all of her things in it including her desk, computer, TV and DVD player, large bookshelves, and pictures on the walls. It really felt like her own apartment. She was unable to walk and was moved from her wheel chair to her bed in a hydraulic lift. The staff were warm and loving and always ready to do whatever she wished. She liked to do things on schedule so they helped her to set up a daily plan. Every member of the staff was friendly, patient, and kind. They listened to her requests and and appreciated her humor and wit. She enjoyed the home cooked food that was prepared for her and the other residents. And, in good weather often was taken outside to eat lunch or look at the beautiful, quiet garden. When she was first there she joined in exercises every day after breakfast. Our family visited her often and on occasion would take her out to the gazebo in the garden for an ice cream treat or special lunch. We enjoyed having Vanessa celebrate all the holidays in a big way. We had the Easter Bunny visit, visiting musicians, Fourth of July Flags, and Treats for Halloween. We all were very pleased with everything and everyone there. We were fortunate indeed to have found such a wonderful place for my sister to live out her last days. I heartily recommend this very special Board and Care home.

Some people jokingly refer to the University of Notre Dame as Catholic Disneyland. On Sundays,…read morethere are literally dozens of places on campus to go to Mass; every dorm has its own chapel; there are more priests walking around in their black suits than you've seen since the early 1980s, and all the famous campus landmarks associated with football (Touchdown Jesus, Fair Catch Corby, First Down Moses) are actually pieces of religious art. Well, if Notre Dame is Catholic Disneyland, then Santa Teresita is Catholic Disneyland for old folks. No, there aren't dozens of chapels on its little campus, but you can't visit without seeing at least one or two Carmelite nuns in their traditional habits (all-white habits if they're doing medical work), and although I've only visited four or five times, I've met at least two different priests here, and I never came for Mass or any other religious service. The religious who work and volunteer here simply love spending time with the residents, and it shows. I know about Santa Teresita because my then 100-year-old great aunt moved in for a month when her full-time caregiver was on vacation. My very religious aunt loved the setting, the nuns and priests, and especially the staff members. She couldn't say enough about how well everyone treated her, and even though she was determined to live out her days in her own home, she admitted that Santa Teresita wouldn't be a bad place to be if she needed to live here. That might not sound like a glowing endorsement, but coming from my aunt, who never would have dreamed of leaving her house, it was an encouraging sign of openness. Not long after her 102nd birthday, my aunt's caregiver retired, and my aunt moved in to Santa Teresita permanently. This time, she had a room on the second floor, close to the elevator, and I visited her five or six times. My mom was largely in charge of finances and making sure she had everything she needed, and my aunt was always telling my mom to bring chocolates and other little things to give to the staff members and the nuns. My aunt really took to and loved the people who worked here, and when I met the employees and volunteers when I would come to pick her up or bring her back, I could tell they took their jobs seriously and truly enjoyed my aunt's company. The grounds are lovely. All the residents live in two cottages separated by a cute courtyard. I've only been inside the newer cottage, but they both look very nice from outside. If you toured my aunt's cottage while no one was there, you would have no idea that this is an old-age home. It feels more like a modern apartment complex with many large, inviting common areas. When we would bring my aunt back to Santa Teresita at night after some social event, there were always at least a few people in one of the main shared areas watching a movie on the TV. In addition to residents, staff members and priests would sometimes be there, but it felt totally natural, as if friends were just watching a movie together. I don't know many of the specifics, but I know that Santa Teresita offers various group activities for the residents, including field trips and on-site parties. At last year's Halloween party, my aunt won an award for having the best costume. Administratively, my mom dealt mostly with Sister Carmen, whom I only met once but who plays a big part in my whole family's estimation of Santa Teresita. She's a high-energy crackerjack marked by her deep commitment to her residents and making sure everything is running properly. My aunt's needs changed over the time she was at Santa Teresita, and Sister Carmen was always patient with and helpful to my mom in terms of assessing and changing levels of care. My aunt passed away peacefully in her sleep at Santa Teresita this past February. She was 102-years-old and had lived a full, enchanted kind of life. At her funeral, I got to meet Sister Carmen and some of the other employees and volunteers who cared for my aunt. She had left a deep impression on them, and despite the fact that the funeral was very far away from Duarte, a lot of people from Santa Teresita came to pay their respects. They also had a separate memorial service for my aunt at Santa Teresita. Rehabilitation and old-age homes can and often do feel so depressing. Nothing at Santa Teresita ever felt that way. From the setting itself to the employees and volunteers, there was always a sense of goodwill and companionship.

During a…read moredifficult time for my family, when we were struggling to afford home care for my dad, John went above and beyond to find a solution that worked for us. Our budget was tight, but John took the time to guide us through the options available, helping us secure free home care for my dad through his partnerships. His company might have been the only place where they can help to get free homecare set up once you have a Medi-Cal card! Most other places that we have called do not take Medi-Cal at all. His deep knowledge of resources and willingness to assist families in need truly sets him apart. Senior Helpers offers a variety of programs to help offset the costs of home care, making it possible for families like mine to receive quality care without financial strain. Thanks to John and his dedicated staff, my dad is now receiving excellent home care from their amazing caregivers. The caregivers have been compassionate, patient, and truly attentive to his needs. They treat him with dignity and respect, providing not only essential care but also companionship that has greatly improved his well-being. Their professionalism, kindness, and commitment to helping seniors get the care they deserve are unmatched. If you are looking for compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable home care services, I highly recommend talking to John and his Senior Helpers team. They truly care about the families they serve, and I am forever grateful for their support during our toughest times!

However, I truly believe that they deserved a review so here I am writing a review for them! I needed a caregiver for my grandma due to several reasons: transportation to doctor's appointment on weekdays, to help her with whatever she needed when I or my mom wasn't around, and to alleviate some stress from my mom. I was hesitant at first as I was reluctant to trust a stranger to help my grandma who I truly care for. However, I needed someone to be there when I or my mom wasn't present so I decided to give it a try. I initially called many different agencies and decided to go with Senior Helpers due to their professionalism, care, and being honest. John, the owner of Senior Helpers, scheduled an in-home assessment and asked thorough questions regarding the condition of my grandma and what her needs were. After going through the assessment, I was pleasantly surprised with the process. We connected on a personal level too as he told me a little bit about his mother. You can see how genuine he was towards me, my mom, and my grandma. He followed up with me after the assessment and after some deep thinking,I decided to go with Senior Helpers. John made the process easy and fast for me. He designated a caregiver right away for my grandma with a set schedule that we agreed upon. Caregiver was always prompt on time and updated me with everything that I asked for. John, followed up with me separately to ensure my mom, grandma, and I were satisfied with their service. Initially, I was reluctant to give this a try, but I'm extremely happy that I did as my grandma was able to connect with her caregiver on a personal level and also got to trust the caregiver. I am thankful and grateful to have found an agency that truly cares for my family rather than just having the mindset of getting clients. I am beyond satisfied with their services so far. Once again, thank you John and your team for helping us out!

This review is going to reveal what can be considered an absolute rescue story !…read more Having been hospitalized, the status of my discharge was entirely uncertain. Where will I go after this hospitalization? Think about the anxiety and tension not knowing where I would be going. As an 84 year old senior citizen, this predicament could be considered filled with debilitating uncertainty. The social worker and case manager both offered information and possible dispositions. One of the referrals was to Giselle Placement Help. In fact the workers gave me a tip to start off with Giselle. I called her first and she gave me three referrals one in Lynnwood and two in the San ​ Fernando Valley. One never called back , one said I was not eligible , and the third was to an administrator who arrived at the hospital at 12:30 p.m. . After extensively interviewing myself he spoke with all the nurses and doctors in the unit and then inform me that I would be eligible to come to his facility and showed me pictures of the private room where I would be . He was extraordinarily kind and made sure that every need that I had was going to be met . In addition he actually helped me move some of my belongings . So you can see that this referral took care of enormous uncertainty and perhaps Karma is involved in making such a successful transition . ​

So disappointed in this facility. Brookdale facilities have an excellent reputation, which is why…read morewe choose this local facility for our mom. When Mom's health recently declined, BD staff nurse visited Mom in the hospital, and assessed Mom to determine if she could continue living there. The cost wasn't an issue. We just wanted Mom to be in safe place that could provide the care she needs. Three MD's had previously determined and documented that Mom needed to be in skilled nursing home or private board and care home. However, the BD staff nurse determined that BD could provide sufficient additional services including on-call aides to facilitate toileting, transferring, dressing and eating for additional fees amounting to additional 60% each month. This decision / assessment was supported by the exec director. We did not want to relocate Mom if BD could live up to their commitment to provide the on-call services, as BD was 'home' for Mom. BD proved to me on multiple occasions that they could not provide the level of care Mom needed at this stage in her life. In just one example, I personally pressed the call-button for assistance to move Mom to the commode in her bedroom. And after waiting 30 minutes, I telephoned the desk to escalate the request for assistance. We waited another 10 minutes for aides to arrive. Imagine waiting 40 minutes to urinate after you have sounded the alarm, and picture how upset you would be. Now, imagine that you are 93 years old and you can't get out of bed to move to a toilet that is a couple of feet away from you. Imagine your hysteria, and multiply that by dementia. This is where the story goes from unforgettable to unforgivable. Our family determined that BD was no longer a suitable place for Mom to live. Telling Mom was heartbreaking. We asked BD exec staff to support our family decision to relocate Mom. Instead, the nurse and exec director contradicted what we had told her and in conversation with her while I was personally present, they held to their opinion that they could care for her. This made the transition many times worse than it would have been if they had supported us. Mom loved the day-to-day staff at BD. She especially loved Gail at the main desk. Mom never in 3 years had a positive word to say about the food, and Mom is not a picky eater. In the years that Mom lived there, I found every regular employee to be friendly, kind and polite.
