I've looked for caregivers through the years and it's been challenging to find trained Indvidual's to care for my patients, especially the Seniors that have limited support and/or working families. Fortunately, I was able to review the DOH webpage and locate agencies that are licensed to provide care such as Senior Helpers, knowing the company is licensed provided peace of mind knowing they are in professional hands. Families I've worked with shared that they've been able to get their Long-Term Care Insurances to assist in getting care but require a licensed entities (along with some ADL deficits) to qualify. I've had a family share with me having been able to get a companion to escort their loved one to meet with her friends over the weekend and another share with me how Senior Helpers was able to care for their loved one during their shift, having taken her to the ER and being with her when no family was available. Knowing they have caregivers that go the extra mile and care for their clients is something to be appreciated.

And overall feels like I am freed by the 'mental shackles' that has had its hold on me for a long time. Like a veil has been lifted and I am now more at peace with myself, zen like state which is something I thought I had but this is completely different. I am extremely thankful for the opportunity and I am forever truly grateful for meeting and crossing paths with Austin!

They always come out to greet her with a smile in the mornings, then help her out of the car and walk her inside. They give you a binder that they use to communicate her vitals, and how much she ate and drank that day, and any other issues that occurred, which is very helpful. Likewise, I can use the binder to let them know anything to look out for. They have always done their best to accommodate us when I need to bring her for extra days. Everyone is very friendly and they are fluent in English and Japanese. Since mom is a nisei, it was nice to see something click inside her when the staff spoke to her in Japanese! We are very thankful for Sakura House and all the help they have provided.

St. Francis Hospice was suggested for my mom by the Palliative Care Department at Kaiser. After…read moremeeting with the case worker, we decided on their services for in home hospice care. The case worker, nurses and those who bathed my mom were excellent. They never rushed her, were always so kind and gentle and she enjoyed their visits and chats. Her nurse (Yun Jin) never made our concerns seem unimportant and always made sure checked our concerns on moms health and condition. They really were calming for me as I felt the nurse was just a call away and would be available if my mom suddenly took a turn for the worse. When I needed surgery, we placed my mom in a private care home and the hospice services followed her. She had a different team, because it was in a different area, but the same great level of care was provided. Because my mom was stable she "Graduated" from hospice and was released to her own doctors. Unfortunately, two months later she passed away. Some things that I had to get used to were: 1) The doctor never visited but was kept well informed via the nurse 2) All blood work, doctor's visits, treatments ended. Eye exams, hearing aid adjustments, ear exams were permitted but very little else as this was comfort care. Any problems were addressed by the nurse. My mom's doctor continued to follow my mom's progress via twice monthly calls with us. It was difficult for our minds to go from a mentality of healing my mom to one of offering her comfort but we did eventually get used to it. After my mom "graduated" from Hospice I realized just how much they had helped my mom and I and what peace and calm they brought to our minds. Impending death of a loved one is difficult and dealing with that day to day realization can be frightening. They helped alleviate that making us feel like we weren't alone on this journey with my mom but we had a great support team standing behind us. Thank you St. Francis Hospice for being such a great team with our family to care for my mom. I would recommend them to anyone needing this kind of care. They are excellent!

Coffee and cookies available on self serve basis in the meeting room. Lots of activities for residents. Crafts, games, social events. There is a lovely garden as well as courtyard for those wanting fresh air.
