I work in the health care field, specifically assisting patients and their families make arrangements for their after-hospital care needs. Over the last 6 years, I have had the occasion to work very closely with the LivHome office & staff in Santa Barbara. Their service has been as advertised - high quality and with a focus on patient and family satisfaction. The office staff is professional, and Jessica S., the "face of LivHome in the Community" is personable, fair-minded, professional and always responsive to the customers' needs. The compnay's response time has always been prompt - and while they may be a little more costly than other agencies - the adage holds true: "You get what you pay for!" The non-medical Home Care that LivHome provides allows people to remain 'independent' at home if that is what they desire. I would highly recommend LivHome to those searching for a high quality, caring, lower cost alternative to Long-Term Placement, as well as short-term services to assist with that transition home. read more

LivHome really came through for me at a tough time. Jeremy, the caseworker was reassuring, compassionate and always available to answer my questions. Massami, my son's caretaker, is kind and competent, she has become like a member of our family. I will forever be grateful for the care we received from LivHome! read more

I was referred from Jeanette Chian of the MS Society to the services of Liv Home, specifically to work with Patricia Garcia. This is my review: Pros: Patricia Garcia is warm and means well. She shared she was a nurse so has a compassionate side. Cons: Unreliable. For our first meeting Patricia did not show up and did not call to followup until a couple days later. On more that one occasion I tried to call and reach her only to get a "This voicemail is full and you cannot leave a message" Unprofessional: She gave me her own diagnosis of an illness being fatal, which is not why I was seeking the Liv Home services. Not only unprofessional, but unethical and disturbing. Poor communication: A few times I had questions that I submitted in email, as I thought that might help her to follow through in a reasonable manner (and since as I shared hard to get a hold of her via phone). Sometimes she would respond, sometimes not and other times rather than answering or explaining would be dismissive in a 'that's the way things are done." Lack of honesty: I felt at times when a question about a procedure or service was posed and she didn't know the answer instead of a professional response, "I'm not sure...let me find out the answer and get back with you" she would give a half-explanation that was inaccurate which costed me energy and time. I since then found another professional to assist me. My advice is to do a very thorough interview with Patricia Garcia before hiring her. read more

I have used LivHome in a professional capacity. I manage an assisted living community and have had, on occasion, need for some outside caregivers to fill in. LivHome has been very quick to respond and have provided good people to assist us. Of special note is Jessica Solomon. She is extremely fast on getting back to us and does what it takes to get our needs met. read more

We decided to go with Lifeline Alert, which will allow my mother to live independent and gives us peace of mind that if she falls, we will be alerted right away. Cassi, from Senior Planning Services made the whole experience very comfortable for my mother, and help her get past any resistance that she had.

I should have had a better conversation with the bank before I went to the estate planning service. I wanted to avoid the time and expense of probate and assumed I needed a Trust to do that.

All my assets would have been available to my beneficiary on my death with no probate. I have to say, I should have asked more questions but I also feel the Planning service could have advised me better, and saved me $3500. The people there are friendly, but I feel taken advantage of. Just be sure to know what your circumstances are before spending a lot of money on a Trust you may not need.

I learned it is illegal to negotiate a stipulation without the client taking part. After Penner I was unrepresented a few months before I had a new attorney. Penner's stipulation moved non trust assets into the trust which gave a bias trustee power over them. Because both parties and judge signed the stipulation it became set in stone - could not be modified. The one year statute of limitations on malpractice protects bad attorneys. A WARNING to others DO NOT SIGN anything your attorney asks you to sign - especially if they press you, scare you or hurry you. You have a lot of time to have one or two attorneys read it - there is no rush. So the lesson is to hire a second attorney to watch the first attorney to make sure they don't sabotage your case.

I hired Anacapa Plumbing for a residential plumbing project at my property, and unfortunately my…read moreexperience was very disappointing in the areas of management, scheduling, communication, and billing. To start, the work was scheduled to begin on a Monday between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. I already was not thrilled with such a large arrival window, but I accepted it. What was not acceptable was that no one showed up and no one called. I rearranged my morning and ended up being late to my own job for no reason. There were also repeated communication failures during the project. At one point, I was told the water would be shut off on a Monday, so I had my renters make plans to be away so they would not be inconvenienced by having no water. Monday came and went, and the water was never shut off. Apparently their plans had changed, but no one communicated that to us. When they finally did shut the water off, it was handled in a way that created a completely unnecessary burden. On one occasion, the guest house was without water all day and overnight. On a different day, the main house was also without water all day and overnight. In my opinion, this was avoidable. I had already run the main line to both houses. They only needed to run piping from those lines to the water heaters. That work should have been staged so everything else was prepped first, with the final tie-ins done once the glue had cured, keeping the water interruption to maybe an hour or two. Instead, two families were significantly inconvenienced, and the attitude I got was that this was standard and no big deal. Another issue was professionalism on site. One of the workers was loudly yelling and swearing in the crawlspace, including repeated profanity. This was not a vacant construction site. This is a home where people live. I was grateful my wife and kids were not around to hear it. After the plumbing work was completed, I finished enclosing the relocated washer and dryer area by framing, insulating, and drywalling the space. When I finally hooked up the machines and ran a load of laundry, the room flooded because water backed up and poured out of the in-wall washing machine drain. I called Anacapa Plumbing, and since this happened just a couple of days after they finished the job, I expected a prompt and professional response. I was told someone would come that afternoon. No one came. Then I was told they would send someone the next day. A plumber eventually came while I was at work, stayed about an hour, and left without any communication. Hours later, I still had no idea whether the problem had been fixed or whether it was safe to use the washing machine. I had to call and leave a message to find out. Later I was told it was okay to use, followed by a $270 bill for that visit. The billing was another major issue. The original estimate was around $15,000. The final bill came in at about $20,000, plus the additional $270. That is roughly a 25% increase with no meaningful communication, warning, or explanation during the job. In fairness, I did add a small amount to the scope by having them run about 25 feet of hot and cold PEX with two shutoff valves, but I do not believe that justifies an extra $5,000. For context, I am a General Contractor and have been for 18 years. I often try out subcontractors on my own properties before using them on residential client projects. Anacapa Plumbing was one of several companies recommended to me locally. Based on this experience, I would not use them again, and I would not recommend them to others. P.S. Thorn was nice and a good worker.

For our second nanny, we tried to handle the search ourselves and failed miserably. At the last minute we called Trudie, and she still managed to find us someone amazing who was a perfect fit for our family. That alone showed us just how good she is at what she does. Trudie takes the time to really understand what your family needs -- schedule, childcare style, and personality fit -- and every nanny she's placed with us has been punctual, attentive, loving, and reliable. She truly cares, checks in, and makes sure everything is running smoothly. If you're looking for a nanny placement service with professionalism, compassion, and heart, Trudie at Beach Baby Nannies is outstanding. We recommend her wholeheartedly!

We were trying to rebuild a sense of normalcy after being displaced by the Eaton Fire and needed…read moreshort-term childcare support. We turned to Beach Baby Nannies hoping for help -- but what we experienced was disturbing, bizarre, and at times felt dangerous. It's hard to write this, because we wanted to move on from it, but not sharing it would be irresponsible. The first sitter, Alex, showed up four hours late on her very first day, claiming she slept through her alarm. She was rarely on time after that. We needed help in the early mornings due to the ages of our children (five and one), but she couldn't consistently wake up. Out of desperation, we shifted her hours to the afternoon. We should've ended things then, but Trudie told us no other sitters were available. We had no other leads and were in a difficult spot. Then Alex showed up without a working phone. My mother-in-law had to send her out immediately to get one so she could communicate and call 911 if needed. That same shift, Alex disappeared for five hours without communication. At that point, we started connecting the dots. She was using the bathroom every 20 minutes and never flushed -- strongly suggesting she wasn't using it for its intended purpose. Afterward, her speech would speed up, her volume increased, and her behavior turned manic. She vented personal problems, said she records phone calls, and would talk compulsively even if no one was in the room. She constantly forgot instructions, routines, and basic information. Instead of support, she brought instability and confusion. When we raised concerns, Trudie first said Alex had bladder issues, then later told us on the phone, "I don't think she has bladder problems -- we'll be cutting ties." The implication we were left with was concerning -- and hard to interpret as anything other than potential drug use. Why did we stay with the agency after this? Because Trudie and Alex repeatedly framed it as a fluke. We were given apologies, reassurances, and promises: "This has never happened before and will never happen again." When you're exhausted, working, and trying to keep your home stable for your kids, you want to believe people will do the right thing. That trust was completely broken. Trudie said she wanted to make things right and told us she would be sending one of her top nannies to correct the situation. We took her at her word -- and that's how Samantha came into our home. The second sitter, Samantha, seemed fine at first -- but within days, her behavior unraveled. At one point, she told us, "My meds are wearing off." If you're caring for young children, that's something you manage, not let slide. It was disturbing. She began compulsively reorganizing the house -- opening every drawer, removing items, hiding them in strange places. One drawer is still missing. She laid out our 5-year-old's clothes in piles outside in the courtyard. On her last day, she stayed until 10pm, uninvited, and her behavior was disoriented and erratic. Then she accused us of offering her alcohol -- an accusation that was completely false. We don't drink, and there's no alcohol in our home. She also overbilled us by 12 hours. We had to catch the mistake, correct it, and still paid her in full -- yet another burden from a service that was supposed to reduce stress. Only after everything fell apart did we find a one-star Yelp review from July 15, 2019 describing nearly the exact same experience: unstable sitters, drinking, clients blamed. Trudie's public response to that review was defensive and unprofessional. Based on what we experienced, we expect the same here. Trudie seems far more interested in protecting her image than in addressing serious safety concerns in her business. What Beach Baby Nannies offers is not safety, not professionalism, and certainly not peace of mind. What they deliver is emotional volatility, unscreened risk, and zero accountability -- repackaged as a luxury service. We're sharing this so no other family, especially one already in a vulnerable position, has to go through what we did. UPDATE: Trudie claimed I hadn't paid, but I've added screenshots that clearly show I did -- along with her accusation, which she has already edited three times.

My MIL wanted to stay at home so my family moved in Aug 2012. We worked closely with the Complete Care SB since I didn't have prior experience as a caregiver. In fact, Carolyn diagnosed the moment my MIL was having a TIA and stayed with us until she was settled in the hospital. She was also there at discharge. Katie took over care a few months later but we never noticed a difference in the exceptional care. They were with us right until the end when my MIL was able to pass peacefully. We would strongly recommend Complete Care Santa Barbara to anyone needing assistance wherever your loved one resides. They made our experience as caregivers so rewarding and gave us so much support. I would have really struggled if it hadn't been for their loving kindness and understanding.

Hello. My name is Martina. I have nearly for a year been a…read morepatient of Asisted Home Health. I am so happy with their care and I'd like to share why...I am respected, they honor my dignity and are very professional. It's very hard to be a patient that is in need, vulnerable and is 90% housebound. it makes being in a position like I am in easier when greeted by a caring nurse who is ready to help make a difference. i feel so thankful because i am healing. I know it's my job to be positive and take good care of myself in between my nurse visits and doctor visits. I have an exceptional team of doctors and I've shared with every one how exceptional the Asisted Home Health model of caring for the sick and vulnerable is. I can barely walk because I've been in need of a hip replacement for many years, but due to having an open wound I'm unable to get the hip replacement until my wound heals. I've got 5-6 cm presently June 11, 2026 to go, the wound was 14 cm deep. Since being cared for by Asisted Home Health and receiving aseptic care both at home and at the CMH Wound Center I have healed nearly 3 cm, and I'm so happy! It's slow healing because of radical radiation from stage four cancer, I'm also a survivor. My nurses are so loving to me and their supervisor makes sure I get all the supplies I need for optimal healing, and he's very well respected by his nurses. The leadership is exceptional at Assisted and encourages and supports their staff and nurses. My nurses have shared that they've been employed with this company a long time and are very proud to work for Asisted Home Health. I am nearly 74 in one month, I brag I'm nearly 3/4 of a century and I believe I'll heal by my 75th birthday completely. After being diagnosed with stage four cancer I was given three weeks to live had I not started radical chemo and radical radiation, which I completed barely. But after my second cancer related surgery a large boxer dog broke thru my backyard fence and caused me to get hurt as I was saving my little dogs life from the boxers jaws. An abscess developed 14 cm deep inside me because I had to pull and pull the boxer off my little dog going four feet into the air and down onto cement pavers as I broke my dog free. Sadly later the abscess broke thru my body and developed Into this open wound, it's a very sad story. The good news is I saved my dogs life and Kobe my mini schnauzer lived seven more years but I was really harmed. It's been a long journey healing but I have never given up due to my excellent doctors and nurses who truly care about me. Asisted is one of the best Home Health Agencies I've ever had and I hope they'll assist me to finish line healing this wound. I'm healing, but very slowly. I'm also getting exceptional care from Dr Alicia Haglund at CMH Wound Center, I really like her. And I believe someday around my 75th birthday I will get that hip replacement and be able to walk again and ride my bike and feel the wind on my face again. I loved riding my bikes In our beach city, I have a cruiser and an e-bike. If you have been refereed to this agency don't hesitate you'll be in exceptional care. Stay proactive in your healing and recovery. Help your team of doctors and nurses be successful helping you. They all work hard all day and need our kindness and appreciation of their care. They also need you to do your part and take the best care of yourself in your healing process and recovery. I love Asisted Home Health not just because I'm getting exceptional care but because they respect me and treat me with dignity. Before my doctor retired, Dr John Dexter wanted me to end my healing journey with them. I know they'll be a part of the journey to my full recovery and I'll be one of their success stories, and we'll all dance with happiness. My nurses call me a blessing and they tell me how they enjoy caring for me and coming to my home. Thank goodness...Molly has a lot to say about visitors in her home. Thank you Asisted Home Health from my heart and soul for all you do for me and for others. It takes a community and you're making a difference in my life and also in our community. You're the best...truly! You are champions! Thank you.

Thank you to Assisted Hospice for helping our family through our mom's passing. One day my mom…read morecould no longer get in and out of bed on her own. I called Assisted and within hours we met with a nurse and a social worker (Ariana and Jessica) had a bed delivered along with oxygen, a nebulizer, and meds. We were set up with a wonderful health aide - Elvia, three times a week. Throughout mom's journey, the Assisted team were there with loving care and excellent communication. When my mom decided in her last days that she wanted Last Rites, I called Ariana, who called the spiritual advisor and we had a priest at our door within the hour. I can't speak highly enough of the professionalism, expertise, love and care showed to my mom and our family by the whole team. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks, Dr. Chase! :)

It's called lack of communication. I didn't mean to rate it but that's the only way I can post this review.
