I called Right at Home in Pleasanton, CA, today based on some other positive reviews I saw, but…read morewill NOT be calling back. The person answering the phone (male) was awful. He was very negative, could not articulate, could not pronounce my name after correcting him four (4) times, and basically said I was not a good fit for their company. Wow....it must be nice to say that after a 10-minute conversation with no details. Literally was handing him a certified caregiver, who needed to be onboarded with them ( a no-brainer for them), and he said that was not a good fit. What?!!! Are you serious? Having worked in healthcare for over 35 years, specifically with home health agencies, I am not new to this field at all. I know when a company does not have its patients' best interests at heart and is looking for the easy way out, or when it just has poor representation answering its phones, which is a huge red flag to move on and avoid future problems. Which is the case here. In summary, my first impression was unfortunate because the reviews I read were so positive. That just goes to show, you have to call and talk to them yourself and go with your gut before hiring anyone, especially someone to care for your most vulnerable family members. I will not be calling back and taking my business elsewhere. VETERANS BEWARE! This is not a company I would recommend to anyone.

I've come across Nikhil's office a few times through local coordination and discussions around…read morefamily care needs. My impression has been that they are calm, attentive, and very mindful of how overwhelming home care decisions can be for families. They seem to take a thoughtful approach to each situation and focus on what will realistically help at home rather than offering quick solutions. Communication has always felt clear and easy to follow. Overall, a dependable and considerate team serving the East Bay Diablo and Tri-Valley areas.

It is difficult to put into words the depth of our gratitude for Noopy. She came into our home…read moreduring the most challenging time of our lives and helped our family care for our mother in her last two weeks. Despite the difficult circumstances, Noopy provided care with incredible love and patience, treating our mother with the dignity and kindness she deserved. One of the greatest comforts was that Noopy is bilingual. Being able to communicate with our mother in Chinese was an absolute blessing; it eased our mother's anxiety and allowed for a connection that a non-Chinese speaker simply couldn't provide. Beyond caring for our mother, Noopy also provided immense support to the rest of the family. She was attentive to our needs, offered a comforting presence, and helped us navigate those final days with grace. We will never forget her compassion.

My mother died on May 13, 2025. My sister and I will be forever grateful for…read more It is without hesitation that I write this five star review of American Hospice and Home Health Care Services. Every single individual that was on Aracelii ( RN and Case Manager) team was clear in their ability to explain processes, sensitive and compassionate when caring for my mother, highly aware and knowledgeable on the topic of pain management and the use of morphine, understanding of all types of issues when transitioning patients between levels of care and to and fro between inside operations and outside vendor/facilities. My mother faced a medical error and because of her reaction to not being given medication properly she faced an unimaginable situation that our family faced and needed help with. The facility she was housed at did not give the emergency care, nor did Sutter Home Health and ONLY when American Hospice stepped in did we uncover the problem. By then my mom had to face a traumatic experience. Without Aracelli's team and Hospice Spiritual Leader Mariah, my sister and I might of collapsed out of physical and emotional exhaustion. Right now I write I am grieving, I am forgetful of names, but I want give my thanks to all those who assisted my family maneuver the last weeks of my mothers life. There is one last note: After my mother left us, the young man who came to dress and prepare my mother for her last journey, was an angel. He made the process of washing and caring for my mother easier. He helped me hold her. This man, an LVN ( I believe) was not afraid of death. And, because of that we together were able to make my mother ready to see her 'maker'. God bless this young man for the job he does on a daily basis. This is a role no one thinks of and which is very very very important to family members who's culture includes preparing the body for heavenly transition. To conclude: Thank You To EVERYONE who CARED ENOUGH TO GIVE THEIR BEST TO OUR MOTHER IN HER LAST DAYS.

Three days prior to leaving for a week long vacation, my Mom started having some health issues and…read moreended up in ER. It quickly became obvious that I was going to need full-time in-home care for her during my absence. That evening, I made a phone call to Visiting Angels of Livermore. They offered to provide a full no-commitment assessment, and I accepted. The next day, Mr. Keith Beck, Executive Director, came to my home and evaluated Mom's situation and needs. Mr. Beck was on-time, professional, organized and efficient. Following the assessment, we were introduced to a recommended caregiver who, assuming my approval, would be responsible for Mom. She was professional, very conversational with Mom and an experienced caregiver. By the end of the appointments, I was confident that Mom would have good, comforting care while I was gone. I was extremely impressed that Visiting Angels responded so quickly, and was also able to provide and dedicate quality staff in a timely manner. I continued the caregiving services on a part-time basis after I returned home as Mom was still not quite stable. Another caregiver was introduced and assigned. After a couple of weeks of continued part-time care, Mom became much better and I was comfortable with stopping the services. I highly recommend Visiting Angels of Livermore. All of my experiences (and my Mom's) were positive. It is a very well managed business with a reliable, kind, and supportive team: owner, office staff, and caregivers. Thanks to Visiting Angels I was able to enjoy my vacation. I will definitely use them again when and if the need arises. If you are considering in-home care for a loved one, Visiting Angels of Livermore is it. An excellent Yelp score....5 Stars all the way!

Him and I are going to use another home health care company since Visiting Angels has decided not to follow throug.

I called Senior Helpers to get information about the services they provide and Shirley answered the phone. After speaking with her for just five minutes, I was immediately at ease talking to her about how they could help me and my needs. I could tell that she was genuine and cared about my concerns. She even went through the thorough process they have for the care givers that they hire, how they match your parents to their care giver, etc. She was very detailed and never hesitated to listen and address the many questions I had. It is never easy to realize when your parent(s) need help, especially when you live so far away. Shirley is fantastic, and is someone who is very passionate about what she does.

I'm very happy with From the Heart and the caregivers I was assigned!…read more For a couple months after shoulder surgery, I needed help with certain tasks requiring more than one arm. From the Heart is far more affordable than it's competitors who have weekly hour minimums (sometimes 20!), because as my rehab progressed I came to need only 1 hour 3x/week. From the Heart communicated and well and always delivered on caregiver assignments. The caregivers were professional, cheerful, conscientious, and kind; I will miss them!

The physical and emotional support provided by FTH has made Mom stronger, healthier, and happier. Our need for so many hours has decreased since then. FTH now provides support in shorter shifts so that she may live with dignity and a sense of autonomy that had been missing from her life. From the Heart's staff is responsive and caring. As the primary family contact, I feel like I have a true partner: "Your mom deserves the best care" has been the theme throughout my relationship with From the Heart and they mean it! I am grateful for the support that our family has received from both individual caregivers and from the FTH staff. They are a tightly-knit team of professionals who truly believe our mom deserves the best. They say it out loud and they "walk the talk" every single day. I highly recommend From the Heart!

My super Dad, who will be 90 soon, is the main reason she's still around and healthy. But he just survived a mild stroke and physically, he's not as strong as my Mom. As their children, we spent a lot of time helping them but with dementia, it's a very difficult and emotionally exhausting ordeal to handle. We were beyond lucky to have found J&M Home care service; especially Susan. Susan is a super bright lady who has a deep sense of compassion, empathy, patience and the knowledge of the disease. Within a couple months under Susan's care, both my parents' health have improved significantly. My Mom seems so much happier and those moments of her feeling frustrated and feared have reduced significantly. With My Mom's health improving, it has helped my Dad and the rest of us feeling so much lighter and happier. What special about Susan is that, even though my Mom speaks mainly Vietnamese and Susan speaks English, the love, care, understanding and compassion Susan has for my Mom overcomes any language barrier. I am so grateful for Susan and her heart. We are taking each day we have with our parents as a blessing. We pray that Susan will stay with my parents, especially my Mom, for a while. Sometimes, God sent an angel to us in a form of a beautiful and wonderful lady! Based on our experience with Susan, we highly recommend J&M Homecare Service to those who are looking for a trusted care taker to look after our loved ones!
