I recently contacted Alice Home Care for some advice as I had used them for my uncle during the…read morepandemic. I needed advice about help I needed in an area that Alice Home Care did not service and Alice was very helpful with a referral and also helped me with concerns I had with that other agency. The direct care I had with working with Alice Home Care was over the top. We were in the pandemic. My uncle had fallen and had Covid and needed home care. Alice met me at the house and we proceeded to get information from my cousin about what was needed for his father. Then my cousin fell ill during the talk. Alice saw the severity of the situation and brought in help within a couple of hours. This was amazing. And so badly needed. Eventually a longer term solution was found by Alice and the care was used for several months until my uncle moved to assisted living. Alice Home Care came to the rescue, brought in care that the family appreciated, and was very open in communications.

I had help from my family for the first week but did not know much help I would need after that. At 84 and living alone in a house with many stairs, I anticipated needing some care. I called Alice after the first week, seeking help with a range of concerns - I could not easily ice the wound on my own. Cooking and even minimal housekeeping were. still impossible. Having support nearby when I began showering felt essential. Alice listened carefully to my needs and hopes and set up a caretaker beginning just two days later. I could not have been more satisfied, my helper was organized, efficient, and very responsive. I felt cared for, the house felt clean and well stocked, she cooked and cleaned up as needed with minimal direction. Highly recommend.

As of today (03/13), Alameda Alliance has apparently had my case closed since December. Even though…read moreI called last Friday and they said they were still working on it. The lady I talked to on the phone today was already giving shit vibes (laughing when talking to me, being condescending in general) and said that all that had been reported in terms of my calls for updates is that I apparently complain about not getting call backs? No mention about how I call for updates on my reimbursement for the almost $600 and how they promise to call back and never do. It's so frustrating because it's been almost a year of fighting with these people for my money that was meant for SCHOOL. I need that money still for SCHOOL. The Alliance sucks and that's apparent through the other reviews. I'm tired of having to call all the time just to get treated like this.

As her medical needs change, they have been absolutely wonderful and highly adaptable to work with. She is treated with the utmost respect and caring and whatever transport needs that we request are 100% accommodated. These have included normal medical appointments but also visits to In-N-Out Burger, getting Safeway supplies and even a manicure! Having been in the medical profession myself, I am pretty demanding in that arena, probably even called high maintenance. AEC has met that bar, and even raised it with their excellent communication by Suzee. It's such a great feeling knowing that when you can't be there for a relative, someone who cares still is. Thank you!!

This review is long overdue for Czarina and her team at Premier Homecare Angels. Right before…read moreThanksgiving 2023, my parents moved in with me and my family after my father had a triple bypass surgery. While he was recovering, my mother was later diagnosed with dementia. My husband and I quickly became overwhelmed with juggling our four school-aged kids with the differing needs of my elderly parents. We shared these challenges with Czarina and with her encouragement and help, she introduced us to Aurora, one of her amazing caregivers. Aurora was meant to assist with caring for my mom. Aurora became our angel at home for the two days/nights she was with us. As a very experienced caregiver, she gave us a brief reprieve in the middle of the week which helped us spend time alone with our kids since we knew my parents were being well cared for at home. Aurora is warm, patient, and loving. She took such good care of my mom and I will be eternally grateful for that. It was a plus that Aurora was a great cook and regularly cleaned my parents' room and did their laundry. Because she spoke Tagalog, I could hear my mom and her talking for hours during the day. She prepared my parents meals, cleaned up after them, bathed her and helped her in the bathroom. She even went with my mom to the hair salon, and fixed my mom's hair beautifully after her baths. There came a point when my parents decided to move into a senior community. Czarina was there again to help us. She called around to see what places had openings, walked us through the process of obtaining the necessary forms from Kaiser (and even called the doctor to help us get it signed), and gave us an idea of what to expect in those settings. This was my family's first experience with a caregiver and searching for a senior home. We were definitely more than satisfied with Czarina's guidance, as well as Aurora's kindness and gentle care for our mom. Thank you Premier Angels! If you're in need of some help for yourself or a loved one, look no further. Call Czarina and she'll help guide you as to what options might be best depending on your individual needs.

We thought she needed a break since she's his caretaker 24/7 so I started reaching out to local in home care provider. Premier Homecare Angels representative, Tedd, was very responsive, called me right away that same evening regarding my needs and explained everything I needed to know. They put me at ease and assured me just by sharing their knowledge of the whole process and empathy towards the whole situation. They made it simple! Next step was for someone to come into my aunts home to assess and ensure they needs I had described to them that we were looking for was accurate and to find a caregiver match with both my uncle and aunt. They were so flexible and when I scheduled the visit Tedd came out himself to assess on a Saturday, a few days after my initial call. That's great as we were looking to start the in home care services asap! Wow we were so impressed by his attentiveness, candor and putting my aunt and uncle as ease when we met. Long story short, we decided to move forward with Premier Homecare Angels. Tedd found a match for us with our care needs and schedule and sent someone out the following week! Great service, communication and flexible/willing to work with the client! Great all around! Unfortunately, my aunt/uncle are relocating to Arizona soon so this is a short term assignment but I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to them again if I ever need any in home care services!

I will be calling them also to communicate my dissapointment because it makes me sick to know that people who have done so much for our country in the last fase of life are getting the bottom of the barrel treatment.
