I had to call them this week because I hadn't heard anything from Bethany. Guess what her excuse was? She had the wrong number! Did she try calling the alternate phone number? The only communication I received after our December 28 meeting with Bethany was a "text" on January 10 saying she hasn't called because she had the "wrong number" was too busy assisting other "seniors" and our CNA was "sick." That's it. I can clearly see why they have a "3 Star" average. Excuse, after excuse after excuse.

We have had home care aides through our nationally known long-term care insurance, for several…read moreyears. With our authorization, payments were made directly to the care agency, so we did not have to deal with anything except establishing our eligibility for services under the policy. We recently moved to Monterey and contacted Central Coast Senior Services. We were told that they did not deal with long term care insurance companies, even MetLife or CalPERS. We would have to pay them for services each month and then we were responsible for getting reimbursed by our long-term care insurance. This means we would have to send care notes, invoices and other documentation each month to the insurance company. Whatever the quality of service Central Coast provides, and it may well be good, but potential customers should be aware of this unusual part of their services and the additional work it entails.

She felt that they should have been providing care to her, which was not their job and was extremely resentful of them most of the time. My brother and sister-in-law are difficult to deal with and I do genuinely appreciate the patience and consideration of the Hospice staff. Apparently, after asking me to contact his health care providers regarding his care, he would turn around and remove me from the approved guest list. I am revising my earlier reward and updating my rating for VNA Hospice to a 5/5 stars for their patience and understanding.

The hospital actually referred us. He arrived home Friday afternoon and Saturday morning our nurse, Amy, telephoned and scheduled a morning visit. Amy arrived on time, conducted a thorough interview with my husband, assessed his health/vitals and monitored his incision. The following Monday our Physical Therapist, Dominic, called to schedule his first visit with us. He arrived on time, also conducted a thorough verbal interview, checked my husbands wound and started some gentle physical therapy. From there Dominic scheduled two visits per week, always arrived on time, conducted a complete assessment of my husband and gradually increased physical therapy. Dominic always left my husband with "homework" so to speak, gentle exercises for him to do daily between visits to increase strength and stamina. Within three weeks my husband was walking without a walker or cane, was stable on his legs and could walk around the block. Dominic made his final visit this morning as my husband was released to outpatient physical therapy and was also released to drive. We were both very impressed with Amy and especially Dominic. He is very easy to talk to, very forthcoming with information and expectations, and answered all our questions thoroughly. We both feel very informed and ready for the next steps in recovery. I highly recommend Choice Home Health Care for your in home therapy needs and I highly recommend Dominic for home physical therapy treatments. We are both very impressed and very happy with the care that we received.

This is a fallow up of the previous review I did for Heartland Hospice…read more I had called them to pick up their equipment (an oxygen concentrator and a walker) on Monday because I was never admitted as a patient since I ended up in the hospital. They had delivered this equipment right after I had spoken to someone about becoming a patient. I can't believe they even sent me this equipment since I wasn't formally a patient! It is now Friday and the driver who picked up the equipment on Monday forgot the walker and it is still on my porch! Also when I called on Monday the woman I spoke to was very upset with me saying I kept refusing service, three times. I told her to read my Yelp review because it explained that I only refused once when a man wanted to come out to see me on Saturday. I was never asked if I preferred males or females. So he told me a female nurse would call me Sunday and she never did. Then on Monday when a female nurse did come out to do the intake, I told her I had to go to the hospital because I thought I had broken a bone in my foot. The pain was excruciating and I could hardly walk. The nurse told me if I go to the hospital then I can't be a patient of Hospice. Since I needed an x-ray of my foot, I went to the hospital. This is why I was never a patient and it explains why I refused their services only once. If you call that refusing! The bottom line is I cannot recommend this company!

First, the caregivers themselves were warm, well-screened, and very patient and loving with our mom and dad -- both of whom had different needs over time. I became very fond of the caregivers, and we got to interview each of them ~ One of the caregivers was with me (and my dad), when my dad passed away. She was so good to me, and him -- I know being there at his passing has affected us both. We have stayed in touch. Second, the office staff were so helpful even on short notice, and with special requests and any changes to schedules. They just worked with me when we had to deal with (a rare) ill or unavailable angel, to get coverage. I do trust the owners, and spoke with them directly about our needs and about individual caregivers. While it was outside my bailiwick, I only wish they provided benefits (such as healthcare) to their workers, and maybe that is something the agency can consider in the future. The owners seem like good people, and caring towards as well as protective of their employees.
