We met with the manager, Kevin, who answered all of our questions on the process to get our father moved, staffing, and care provided at Granada. Kevin is very kind, professional, and patient. He treats his employees with care and respect. The facility is older but clean and in a quiet residential court. The staff (one in particular whose name I won't mention out of respect for privacy) is AMAZING with our father. This person is extremely attentive, hardworking, and has tremendous compassion and care for the residents. We sleep well knowing our father is in good hands.

We had the opportunity to remain there, but my mother was very depressed there It was not what I wanted for her during this challenging time of her life. In April 2008, I was referred to several care homes in my area by http://www.aplaceformom.com. The home is clean, has lots of light and a beautiful back yard. My mother was only eating purified foods with a thickener. The owner, Rey Lee said they would work on that so she can start to enjoy regular foods. Well, by the end of the week she was eating solid foods. I also noticed her spirits were up. The care givers were compassionate, caring, respectful and kind to her and our family. This care home is one of two right next door that is owned by Rey. The women next door would also visit my mother. They spoke to her in her native language (Tagalog). I was very happy about that because I do not speak or understand the language. This was very healing for her to speak in her first language. The care givers were also proficient in English and I did not experience any problems communicating with any of them. In March 2010, we entered her in hospice at the care home. The care givers and hospice team worked well together to give my mother the best care during this time. They prayed with my mother, spent time with her watching television and made her feel like part of a family while I or my family was not there. I received a call early in the morning in January 2011 that my mother was not responsive and was experiencing labored breathing. I called my family and those closest to my mother of the sad news. We all came to visit her one last time and the care givers were very accommodating and answered my family's questions and concerns. We were there for nearly 9 hours. I am grateful for Rey and his team of care givers for the life they provided my mother during her last few years of her life.

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!

We provide a choice of caregivers in Alameda County, Contra Costa County and beyond. We also conduct a Needs Assessment interview at the home or in a hospital setting. We then do a Personalized Caregiver search and give our clients a choice of candidates. Our clients conduct their own interviews but we provide assistance throughout the interview and hiring process. We assist clients with relief attendants when needed. We also provide Individual case management. We commit to a 30 day trial period for your new caregiver - we want you to be satisfied! How are we different than a typical Home Care Health Agency? In MANY ways but one of them is that we provide case management as part of our service but they typically charge $100/hour on average for this service. Plus, a typical agency only sends one caregiver whereas we send you several to choose from!
