Julie and her team at Halo Specialized Home Care are the top of the line in home health care. They…read morecared for my father for over 2 years. When I first started working with them, they were providing about 40 hours a week of companion type care for my dad and then transitioned into 24 hour a day care for the last few months. I know that Julie must be a good manager because every caregiver she sent to our home was amazing. And I know it takes a good person at the top to have so many good employees. Julie was constantly involved and checking in as well. She made me feel like I was her only client when I know that is the furthest from the truth. In addition to providing so much caregiver support, Julie was also a wealth of knowledge and connections, constantly making insightful suggestions. She was someone to call when my dad had to go to the hospital, and she was instrumental in connecting me with other resources as needs arose. I don't know how I would have gotten through the last 2 years without the team at Halo - they were one bright spot in a really difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Halo to anyone in need of reliable, compassionate, and the highest quality home health services.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Julie and the entire staff of caretakers at Halo…read more It was such a comfort to know that my dad was well taken care and that Julie was always available for any questions or concerns. Julie is one of the most compassionate and dedicated people I have ever met and she truly puts her heart and soul into her patients. I love that it is a locally owned small business and I highly, highly recommend Halo Specialized Home Care!

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.

Ohhh Michael the supply person is so awesome as well in getting orders sent out.

I have had Good Life Home Care provide care to my 93-year-old Mother just a couple of months ago…read more I found the service to be EXCEPTIONAL. We have had VNA and Choice Home Health in the past, and we were VERY DISSATISFIED with both (especially VNA). Good Life was just the opposite; they began care the same day my Mother's doctor sent the referral. She had the SAME therapist throughout her recovery, and she went from being completely wheelchair bound to being able to transfer on her own and even take a couple of steps (with standby assistance). This is an incredible improvement that could not be achieved through the other agencies who had provided services in the past! I would recommend Good Life Home Care to anyone who cares for, and loves and elderly, homebound person.

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.

Before my discharge, my Dr.'s assistant asked if I want a nurse to come check on me at my home? Medicare pays for 8 weeks of visits. A woman from this shady company got my personal info. from UCSF. Came to my home just 36 hrs. after I was discharged. She set up 4 appts. the following week without my permission! And again the following week! This Co. is desperate for clients/money. None of their employees arrived with name tags, medical shirts or business cards! The visit with their so called "RN" named Bill, didn't have a female assistant to examine/evaluate me (single woman). During the visit, he insisted on calling my surgeon's office for an authorization. He lied about speaking to my surgeon who wasn't in his office! This Co. never provided a plan of services or any documentation. Only a thin booklet. In this, it explains they will take over managing patient appts. & medications! They come in & take photos of whatever they want. My surgeon knows nothing about these crooks. Wall Street Journal has published an article about the billions of dollars this Co. is stealing from Medicare. "Patients Beware & don't let them into your homes!"

About half of the people the agency sent did a good to excellent job and were extremely helpful: bright, friendly, cheerful, and didn't just sit around waiting for me to give orders--I always took pride and initiative when I was a worker, no matter the job. Others were unemployable types who couldn't even manage the simple tasks mentioned above. I'm sure the agency takes a healthy chunk of the caregivers' wages, so keep that in mind.
