My sister applied for the caregiver position. She was discriminated and humiliated by the staff…read morebecause she didn't speak English fluently as she knew that the staff that she was talking to can speak the same language. She knows how to "SPEAK ENGLISH" and has been working with the elderly without any problems communicating. At-home caregiver staff even asked her to rate her English from 1-10. This is disrespectful. The staff assumed that my sister could not speak english basing on her accent. After the phone interview, my sister felt down and discourage because of this. Please don't apply to this agency. There's a lot of agencies who are respectful, and knowledgeable to help applicants, and clients. So unprofessional and bias. #racist #discrimination.

There were stumbles in the first few months, however, their senior management made sure all the issues were corrected. Since then there have been times when staff has had to be replaced either due to my aunt becoming moody with them or the caregivers situations changed - the management made it a priority to get suitable replacement staff quickly. They not only filled the openings quickly they filled it with the RIGHT person, not just a body to fill a slot.

I don't have roommates at my age, no adult kids, or a spouse, no relatives close enough to help out, and my friends all work, so this - as with my surgery last year - was a great fit.

She has a terrific sense of humor and is also good about keeping my elderly dad in line ;-) She's more than happy to help with a multitude of tasks (certainly some less savory than others) and keeping my dad's area clean. We had a sudden need for an increase in help this week and Maria graciously rose to the occasion freeing up her schedule to come an additional 2 days this week. Home Helpers overall rose to the occasion as well getting us on very short notice another wonderful gal, Liza, to help my dad in the evenings. Liza's first night here, she cleaned up the aftermath of paramedics/firefighters getting my dad out and into the ER, what a scene to walk into! She did a terrific job juggling cleaning duties with caregiver duties.

Dissatisfied customer. We contracted with this agency for 3 hrs each day. Caregivers were…read moresupposed to log in on the tablet that was left at the house and fill out a form stating what was performed. Some caregivers never even filled it out. MANY TIMES, when it WAS filled out, it would say things like: made lunch, changed litter box, wiped down kitchen countertop. That's it? A 3 hr shift and this is all you did??? Just didn't feel we got our money's worth on most shifts. There were a few times the caregiver would show up 10-20 minutes late. One time, the caregiver went home 45 min. early because the patient told her to leave. Caregiver did not follow procedure and call the office from patient's house. Just left and called her manager once she was gone. Patient needed to be sure his wound was cleaned each day while the caregiver supervised on how to have him do it himself. It needed to be done daily and there were a few times the caregiver did not have the patient clean his wound - which was VERY important (and one reason WHY we hired help). When one of the patients was being discharged from a rehabilitation center via the caregiver, the discharge papers with prescription information never made it home (these were important papers!). Overall, would NEVER recommend this agency!

I have worked for Sequoia Senior Solutions for the past year and in that time have had the pleasure…read moreof meeting many of the care givers that Sequoia employs. The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of the caregivers is their constant dedication to their clients. I remember during the fires last year watching the caregivers make sure their clients were safe even at the risk of their own safety in some cases. Watching the caregivers and the clients they care for is really a beautiful thing, it goes way past an employee getting paid to do a job, its more of a friend ship that evolves with the caregivers extending themselves to their clients and caring for them, sometimes until the very end. Having to bring a stranger into your loved ones home because they need care can be hard, but Sequoia helps you each step of the way, from your first meeting with a Care Manager to eventually placing the correct and well trained caregiver in the home to meet your loved ones exact needs. When it comes to the Management team at Sequoia ~ it all starts with the owner operators. Stan and Gabriella lead our team with honestly, determination and the utmost care and concern for their clients and caregivers alike, and it shows with happy clients and employees alike. I highly recommend Sequoia Senior Solutions if you are needing a care giver for your self or a loved one ~ they will exceed your expectations.

They were recommended by the Lodge at Piner Road after several residents had used their services. While my mother only survived a short period our round the clock care workers were all wonderful and caring people. The CEO interviewed our family at the hospital to find out what services were needed and to find out who my mother was as a person. The same CEO come to visit shortly before my mother's death which was very thoughtful. Unfortunately, in California, caregivers are not allowed to administer morphine or insert suppositories for pain control so that fell to the family members. However, our caregivers provided loving care and kept my mom safe prior to her becoming bedridden. Would also like to give a special thanks to Christy who was there the first day my mom returned to the Lodge and comforted her as she took her last breathe.

We had worked with them the year prior to assist her after a fall and they were lovely and efficient, but when her health declined and she was in and out of the hospital they really stepped up their game. They became an indispensable part of her care and day to day routine. I don't know how we would have managed without their diligent loving care through every situation that arose up until my mother's final trip to the hospital. Each person we worked with was impeccably trained, gentle, kind and unfailingly patient with my mother always. They kept me in the loop all along the way which made my days so much easier despite the difficulties. I highly recommend Safe Care Solutions if you require assistance for a loved one, post hospital or just to help through a rough patch of health issues they should be your first call!

We were spending a lot of time running errands for her and assisting her with personal care. As all the adults in her life work full time, this situation was unsustainable. With her blessing, I called Inspired Senior Living Options. Their rep came out to the house to discuss their services. He was professional, thorough, and very respectful. He explained exactly the kinds of services they provide AND the services they don't provide. He also explained how scheduling works and what caregivers do and how they are screened. My boyfriend's mom ended up with fabulous caregivers who are trustworthy, dependable, and affordable. She loves the independence Inspired Senior Living Options has given her. Calling them was a GREAT decision!
