Julie and her team at Halo Specialized Home Care are the top of the line in home health care. They cared for my father for over 2 years. When I first started working with them, they were providing about 40 hours a week of companion type care for my dad and then transitioned into 24 hour a day care for the last few months. I know that Julie must be a good manager because every caregiver she sent to our home was amazing. And I know it takes a good person at the top to have so many good employees. Julie was constantly involved and checking in as well. She made me feel like I was her only client when I know that is the furthest from the truth. In addition to providing so much caregiver support, Julie was also a wealth of knowledge and connections, constantly making insightful suggestions. She was someone to call when my dad had to go to the hospital, and she was instrumental in connecting me with other resources as needs arose. I don't know how I would have gotten through the last 2 years without the team at Halo - they were one bright spot in a really difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Halo to anyone in need of reliable, compassionate, and the highest quality home health services. read more

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Julie and the entire staff of caretakers at Halo. It was such a comfort to know that my dad was well taken care and that Julie was always available for any questions or concerns. Julie is one of the most compassionate and dedicated people I have ever met and she truly puts her heart and soul into her patients. I love that it is a locally owned small business and I highly, highly recommend Halo Specialized Home Care! read more

Halo is an exceptional company, run by an exceptional woman. Julie Wohlman and her team of well-trained, skilled and compassionate caregivers have been an important part of my mother's care and wellbeing from 2017 - 2024. We highly recommend Halo. read more

My mother required 24 hour care, had a feeding tube, was paralyzed from the waist down and required assistance getting in and out of bed. I had two health care providers during this time. The owner, Julie, always knew what to look for in caregivers and provided me unequivocally the best caregivers which other agencies tried to hire away. She has a time system that uses gps. This provides exact knowledge of when the caregivers arrive and leave so the so there was never any question over billing/time (which there are with agencies that don't use this system). The system allows the caregivers to place notes on for family members not in town to review, Julie herself is calm, professional, and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Halo as a quality, professional service. read more

I had an unusual situation and needed help for a family member for one evening. I was worried that I was not going to be able to find any company willing to jump in, but Halo was there for us when my family really needed it. When I called, it was answered right away by a friendly voice, which impressed me from the start. When the person on the phone wasn't be sure if Halo could meet my request, he didn't take the easy path and just tell me no --he actually put me in touch with the owner Julie to see if they could make it work. I was so grateful and impressed yet again at their willingness to try to help. The owner Julie was kind and patient and understanding, and was able to pull together help for us in a matter of hours. It made a huge difference to my family member that needed the help, and also to us out of town family who would have had a sleepless night without Halo being there by his side. THANK YOU SO MUCH HALO!! read more

Super impressed with Halo!! Julie (owner) literally mobilized her staff for my mom the day she was discharged from Community Hospital in Monterey. My mom went through a routine ablation on her heart but the docs made an error that required open heart surgery. My mom was not allowed to lift anything above 10 lbs and needed help with bathing, food prep etc. Thank you to Julie, Maria, Jessica, Judy, Gabby, Noni and anyone else I missed (apologies!) as all the ladies were so sweet and kind in helping my mom through this tough time. The quick response, consistent level of care, communication and concern were impressive. I would highly recommend this company for quality and compassionate care! Julie, thank you again from both my mom and me for being there, we appreciate you and the team!! read more

Julie Wohlman and all of the Halo staff came to our aid at a time in our lives that was so scary. All of a sudden we were in a position where we needed to have round the clock care for our mother. Julie dropped everything and made sure that we were staffed and taken care of right away, making me feel like I was her only client. She and all of her staff give care with the utmost compassion. They cared for my mom in the final months of her life, taking her hand and allowing her the grace and dignity that she deserved. All the while, holding us up as well. They were our biggest blessing as we navigated through the unknown. We could not have done it without them. There are not words to express our gratitude and I recommend Julie and her company very highly should you ever find yourself in need of home care for a loved one. read more

This was my family's first experience with home healthcare professionals and we could not have asked for a better team. I was away for 10 days and the Halo caregivers were able to take care of my grandmother, who is in the advanced stages of dementia and alzheimer's (requiring full care). The caregivers were also able to accompany both grandparents to their appointments, keep up with housework and laundry and according to my grandfather, were always looking for MORE to do! Knowing they were there made my work trip one hundred times less stressful. I came home to happy grandparents and a fresh, clean house! Would recommend them again and again. Grandfather gushes about the ladies who took care of them. read more

Halo is the perfect name for this business because the owner, Julie, and her staff are most certainly angels! My Dad required 24/7 care after his return home from a fall, resulting in hospitalization and then a stint at skilled nursing to try to regain some strength through PT/OT. When it became obvious he could not, at age 91, in any way help himself to move about or even do toileting, Julie was contacted and was at the house in advance of Dad being transported there. Julie is the most calm, knowledgeable, patient person I have ever encountered in the medical field, and having worked in it most of my life, I have some pretty good experience to draw from. She absolutely exudes competence and a peacefulness that is so comforting! My Dad was instantly comfortable with her, as were we family members who of course were feeling very stressed by the entire situation. She put us all at ease and drew together her team according to whom she felt best fit the situation. They ALL took the most excellent care of Dad, and sadly, it wasn't for long, as he passed away two days after returning home. We certainly feel as if we could not possibly have found any better care than that provided for him by Julie and the team of Halo Home Health Care! THANK YOU JULIE! read more

My mother and I are visiting a friend who is under the loving care of Halo. This is our first experience with any type of home-health care and we are thoroughly impressed with Halo. All of the women we have met who are caring for our friend are true blessings. Sweet, caring, patient, attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Keeping our friend comfortable and pain free is their priority and they do so with grace. The name Halo is very fitting. I thank the good Lord that there are loving people in the health care profession who are there to take care of our loved ones during such a difficult time. Thank you, thank you, Halo! You are valued and you are a blessing! read more

My parents, both with dementia and other medical illness, have had at least 11 hours a day of Halo Specialized Home Care for 2 years now. Yesterday the owner of the company, Julie Wohlman, accompanied me to the skilled nursing center for discharge planning for my dad. She talked to the wound care nurse about taking care of a sore he still has, and went to physical therapy with him to learn what he has been doing there. I was astonished as I watched Julie wheel dad back to his room and assist him back into bed. When she placed her hand on his back I could feel my body relax and I could see the relief on my dad's face. Her presence is a gift of total competence grounded in such kindness it is palpable. She mentors and supervises her staff to this level of care. They will now take over 24 hours. I work in the medical field with very old people most days. I cannot tell you how strongly I recommend this company to you. It allows me to work 125 miles from my parents and not worry about them every day. Thank you Halo for being there for us. You can reach Halo at 831-383-3863. read more
