I broke my foot badly and realized I needed extra care to live independently while I healed. Home Instead, which is based in San Rafael, came to my home and explained their services. They were amenable and flexible to a schedule that met my needs and my budget. All of the caregivers they sent to my home were outstanding. Cleaning, cooking, driving, wellness assistance at any level. My elderly Mother also uses Home Instead in another region of California, so they have a good track record. If you get a caregiver who isn't a good fit, you just call the Home Instead office and they immediately find another caregiver. Licensed, insured, and highly professional, I can recommend Home Instead for caregiving. I also find it comforting to know that if I have a health emergency in the future that requires caregiving at home, I have an established relationship with Home Instead for quick service.

I can only assume they are not used to people seeking clarity about the details of their contract. People are usually too devastated about their family circumstance to have the energy to get everything done and focus on every detail. But this is for my loved one, and I wanted to make sure the arangement was fairly balaced when it came to how each party was covered from a responsibility standpoint. I was told to go elsewhere. Which wasn't only rude and unprofessional, but mean. But I'm glad I know now before they ever had a chance to get near my loved one. It's sad.

Michelle has referred me to three new physicians in the Bay Area, which have resulted in amazing…read morenew relationships in the beauty field, cosmetic and surgical. After two decades of working with practitioners around the country, I now have the best support right here, thanks to Michelle. Since I was new to the area, I invested in my relationship with Michelle, and it has been one of the best decisions of my life. Michelle's acumen assures clients receive the best care, with the most qualified practitioners and she walks you through the process, step by step. She doesn't just deliver the names of the best of the best in their respective field, she also advocates for you from the outset, sorting through priorities, finances, resources. She is warm, kind, direct, and if you work with her she will make sure expectations are managed, which is pretty amazing because the results have each time surpassed my expectations. Also, the relationships she has are so specific so that, for example, the best surgeon for rhinoplasty is not the same surgeon to perform a different surgery and, similarly, the best person to do fillers for one area may be unique to one practitioner, while another practitioner might be better at something else. Her referrals are that specific. Also, the doctors she refers to are not just skilled in their work, but are also open, receptive to their patients, kind, humble. I have also benefited from the after care services with Michelle when she helped me through a recent difficult surgery. She helped us to get access to better pain relief, made soup, helped with bandaging and organized a list of drug store needs that helped me to feel better fast. If you are investing ongoing with cosmetic needs and/ or considering a big surgery, I recommend working with Michelle. It is ultimately the best use of your resources to make sure you are planning strategically and have a coherent plan, and a good team to support you along the way.

HomeCARES is an amazing nonprofit which recycles gently used & new medical equipment to those who need it at no charge. Their hours are only Wednesdays, but if you or someone you know can wait to check to see if they have what you're seeking, it could be well worth it. It doesn't get better than FREE.
