Right at Home Santa Barbara was recommended to me as a top home-care place by the clinic at their assisted living. Right at Home Santa Barbara is a beautifully run small company that excelled at matching up caregivers with my mother. I don't have to tell anyone with a beloved elderly relative in assisted living how difficult the lockdown was. But the caregivers who worked with my mom were not just compassionate and vigilant about her well-being, they also did her nails, fixed her hair, took her out for a spin in her wheelchair, accompanied her to doctors' appointments, washed her clothes, helped her to the dining table for her meals - and they were wonderful company. My mom became close friends with two of her caregivers and my husband and I came to love them, too and they will always be a part of our life. After my stepdad passed away in June 2021 and we were still in lockdown the extra care and company from Right at Home became more important. On Christmas day when our CA governor wouldn't allow me to have this important meal with my mom I wept. But when her caregiver sent me photos of the table she'd decorated and I called and my mom and her caregiver were laughing and having a great time - I was overjoyed. My mom passed away in July. I miss her terribly but I take great comfort in knowing how good her last year was. If you need home-care or have a relative who needs it, call Right at Home.

When I entered, Case Manager Katherine Coats and RN Anna Bury were so welcoming and supportive of my trauma state. They made me feel understood and turned what could have been a horrific day into a day of hope. It wasn't their job. They didn't know me. I'm not a client. But if that's how they treat a complete stranger in crisis, then rhis is the right company for your loved ones. Thank you. Katherine and Anna and Brightstar Care!

I had to follow up to make sure I got a Zoom link. They gave me the link on a Monday afternoon for a Tuesday morning interview. Without sending me an email or giving me a phone call to cancel, they just did not show up for the Zoom. They sent a message on Indeed that they had hired someone else. I have no issue with them hiring someone else. My issue is that they disregarded the time that I take to prepare for an interview. Then neglected to tell me that they had canceled it. Very rude and very unprofessional. If they do not believe my time is valuable as an interviewee, I doubt they would take my time seriously as an employee. I would also be skeptical that they care appropriately for a person needing their type of care. I would never use their services as caregivers. Public relations manifest in many ways.

I've worked as a caregiver for several home care agencies over the years, but Visiting Angels --…read moreand especially Mia -- is truly different. What stands out most to me is that Mia checks in with me every single week. Not just to ask about scheduling, but to genuinely see how I'm doing and how the client is doing. That kind of support is rare in this industry. Even though I know Mia is running the office on her own, she still takes the time to make every caregiver feel seen, heard, and appreciated. She treats us like people -- not just names on a schedule -- and that means a lot in this kind of work. She's the reason I love working with Visiting Angels. She deserves so much more than just a thank you. If you're a caregiver or a family looking for care, I can say without hesitation: you're in good hands with Mia and her team.

About a month ago, Visiting Angels had scheduled an interview phone call with me regarding an…read moreadministrative assistant position. At the appointed time of the call, no one called. So I called them and was only able to leave a message. I sent them an email and asked about the interview. I got no response from either. About a week later, they sent me an email that they had hired someone else. I don't mind that they hired someone else. My issue is that it's very rude and unprofessional to just stand someone up on a phone call interview. I set aside time, and I do research and prepare myself when I have an interview. This shows that this company has no regard for an individual's time. It is indicative of how this company would behave in any situation. I would never entrust a person into their care, knowing this is how they behave. Public relations manifest in many different ways.

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.

Amazingly, their hands on care staff are commendable, but overworked, and exhibit more professionalism than their management.
