Three days prior to leaving for a week long vacation, my Mom started having some health issues and ended up in ER. 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! read more

Visiting Angels (Glendale)was a company my father and I were ready to invest in.He has alzheimers /dementia and dealing with lymphoma.He is a retired police officer and It would cost alot for his care (24/7) ,but we had the funds set aside for his care. I know it's costly for home care,but we both agreed that these friendly folks would help us out.Price was not a problem.We made an appointment for the meet and greet home evaluation and get to know our new team members and our assistants.No one showed up at the appointmeant that they promised us in the beginning.I guess that $200,000 set aside for his companionship and round the clock care went down the drain. Him and I are going to use another home health care company since Visiting Angels has decided not to follow throug. read more

Although I never met her personally, family members say caregiver Bernice was fantastic. Otherwise i would have given a one star rating. The office is a train wreck. My issue stemmed from them just swooping into my checking account and taking whatever amount of money they felt entitled to without giving me any notice. This happened several times and to this day I haven't seen a single invoice. To make matters worse when i complained about it they sent a text to a family member filled with untruths and inaccuarcies and threats. Maybe others have had better experiences with them but this has been mine. read more

Following a serious accident, my father required more physical help than I was able to provide - and as we are a very close family I felt horrible about this. I contacted visiting angels and was met with consistent service, invaluable commitment to meeting my dear fathers needs, and the help that I needed in the midst of a crisis. I strongly recommend their services! read more

Visiting Angles is a amazing company that provides in home care for you,your mom,dad,grandma or grandpa. This company takes pride in providing the best service possible for your loved ones. The caregiver are all skilled workers who take test throughout the year to stay ahead on all new policies and also learn new ways to be the best caregiver ever. I've been with this company for 6 years now and I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else. With this pandemic going us caregiver are all undated with all the new guidlines/rules regarding COVID-19. Visiting Angles provides us with gloves,face mask and even face shields well,so we have all our bases covered. I totally recommend this company to my family so that should tell you something. read more

We wanted to keep Dad at home, and none of us lived in Livermore. So we contracted Visiting Angels to visit with him 3 days a week, in the morning, to make sure everything was OK. It took a while to find the right caregiver, but when we found Sandra it was great. She was the right amount of company and didn't talk too much. He really liked her. She did light housekeeping, ran to the store for him, but mostly just raised his spirits with her cheerful attitude. The office staff was cheerful and helpful as well. It took us a while to find Sandra, and I am glad she liked Dad as much as he liked her. read more

After an accident, I required someone to stay with me during the hours when my husband needed to work at his local office. Visiting Angels responded so quickly and efficiently to our needs that it is impossible to imagine how it could have been handled any better. My caregiver was very kind. Knowing she would be there when I needed her gave me great peace of mind. Additionally, every interaction with the office staff was smooth and handled professionally. Many thanks to Visiting Angels. read more

We started this service for my parents and the service was to be provided twice per week for four hours each visit. Visiting Angels was never able to commit to having the same helper come, and we ended up with a different person each time. For the third visit, no one showed up and no one called to let me know. I only found out because a friend had visited my parents and told me there was no helper there. When I called Visiting Angels to complain, they told me someone had been there from 9:30-1:30, which was not true as no one had been there at all. My parents have dementia and so were not aware that their help was not coming. I would not recommend this in home service for anyone who has parents with dementia, because they are not reliable and will not send the same person. People with dementia need to have consistency on their care. read more

I give them one star as the actual visiting angels are really great, well trained and caring. However their office employees were horrible to work with. I will never recommend or use them again just because of the really bad experience trying to work with the office. read more

Well, here is another review...it is long, but well, I do like to write (LOL!), but I was COMPELLED to write about this company when I was reviewing companies I use and updating reviews I had made. Read on! When it was time to make a decision as to how and what to pursue about care for my parents-at some point, we all may be confronted with this issue, as to: do I find in-home care? A home or residence? -what do I do? I knew my parents were not ready for a facility-they wanted to be home, and while they were capable of taking care of some things, other things were just not practical to expect them to do anymore. Plus, with my dad's beginnings of dementia coming on, I just knew that my mom would not be able to deal with that. They needed medicine reminders, I did not want them driving anymore, and I was getting scared to think of them trying to cook for themselves-or not! What if they forgot to cook, or eat!? I work outside of home and taking care of my family, and the stress of trying to help them, run my home, work, the missed days of work to care for them...I was beside myself and turning into a wreck. I made the phone call to Visiting Angels here in Livermore (where we all live) and the office could not have been more caring, compassionate, understanding, and most of all-KNOWLEDGEABLE about elderly companionship and care. I spoke with THERESA (@Jazzmine-that is how it is spelled!) and she put me on with the owner and director, Keith. Keith has been through the issues I am going through, in fact, that is why he opened Visiting Angels-he knew in his heart that there was something better out there for older peeps who wanted to stay in their home in their golden years. We made an appointment; Keith visited with us (I say visit because it was a genuine visit-he spoke with my folks, not at them, and inquired about what they needed). Mr. Beck was punctual, totally professional, kind, and compassionate. Ok, so I keep using those words...I can't help but use them. I don't know who the one-star rater is, but Jazzmin's description of this office is well, NOT the office I have come to know and love. While I do not know what the attendants earn, or anything about benefits- I DO know that Mr. Beck screens ALL possible caregivers with a full background check and a drug test. This company is top-shelf, and if I could give it TEN stars, I would! read more

Unfortunately, we've needed 24 hour care for the final days of care for both my mother-in-law and my mother. Fortunately we found Visiting Angels and used them both times. Both cases we were working with Hospice, so Visiting Angels sent caregivers experienced with Hospice. The caregivers were so kind and caring and did a wonderful job. There was one that we didn't click with and it was easy to request to not have her return. The others were all wonderful. And in both cases the caregivers were there when our mothers passed and were so kind and compassionate and handled everything so smoothly for us. I wouldn't wish this situation on anyone, but if you are faced with it, I highly recommend Visiting Angels! read more

I have never been so impressed with getting assistance for a loved one. Not only do they provide a quick response but they are sensitive to your needs. It is extremely important to the Visiting Angels that the person they send to your home is compatible with the person needing the care. They follow up and are very compassionate which I really appreciated at such a difficult time. They accommodated all of our needs even when we needed someone to stay over night at the last minute. You will not be disappointed so please don't waste your time checking out other companies as I don't think you will find any better. Thank you so much Visiting Angels as you were an Angel in the time of need!!! read more

My name is Kathleen and I am a caregiver. I've been caring for people for about 25 years and I love it. I especially thrive in hospice situations. You could say my calling is to help people die well. I have worked for Visiting Angels for about 3 years now and I would like to share a recent story with you. At the end of 2015, I went on disability due to spinal damage. This past May, I had spinal surgery at UCSF. I thought I was prepared. This is what I do for a living. I was seriously mistaken. I had a severe reaction to narcotics, multiple infections, an ER visit, miscommunications between providers, and an horrific Walmart experience. Unreal ! I was in severe pain & incapable of helping myself. My advocate failed. I cried more tears than I could count. I yelled. I called everyone involved. I begged. Nothing. In desperation, I emailed the owner of Livermore Visiting Angels Keith Beck. Keith sent me a caregiver as long as I needed, at no cost. I was overwhelmed with gratitude. I would not have made it without Angel Karen. She hugged and reassured me until the poisons cleared my system, cooked, cleaned, found PT online, and made me laugh. I am eternally grateful to Visiting Angels. What a company! What a Blessing! read more

As we all get older, we are faced with tough life choices to care for our parents. As with many of you, we have tried care givers that are not up-to-par. Been there, done that. No agency is perfect. That is the facts. But, when you get an agency that does more than pay lip service to care, then you have a winner. Lots of agencies claim they will assist you and stand by you to help your parents, but Keith Beck and crew actually deliver it. I don't know where our family would be without them. They screen and hire quality people like Rebecca, Julie, Kathy, Chris, Bertha and many others who have assisted us over the last year and a half. They will do everything they can to assist you with whatever stage of life's challenges you face. It's tough enough to go at this alone, but with Visiting Angels helping you, it makes it that much easier and less to worry about. read more

My grandmother required 24 hour care as she has dementia and was deemed incompetent, the first care giver that was sent let her sleep from 7 pm to 2:30 pm the next day without waking her for medications or food and had someone visit her during the night which was witnessed by a family member. Another caregiver left my grandmother sitting in a urine saturated adult diaper that leaked through the diaper, the absorbent pad and left a puddle in wheel chair. When asked why she didn't change her, the caregiver's response was "She's the boss, she didn't want me to change her" ....obviously my grandmother is unable to care for herself, which is why we hired visiting angels. Finally, a care giver who had been to my grandmother's house several times, left at night and drive through my grandmother's front yard, left tire tracks and running over a bird feeder (on a pole) and this was all caught on camera. We spoke to the owners of the company, and their response was less then sympathetic or apologetic. I would not recommend Visiting Angels to take care of a flea on my dog's backside. They do not follow up or monitor the care their employees are providing, they are simply concerned with getting paid (which is quite a large sum). There were several employees that were outstanding, very caring, compassionate and competent. I truly feel sorry for these women, as they work hard and do a great job, but the company they work for leaves A LOT to be desired. Nicole P. read more

We had some Visiting Angels volunteers come to our senior community to assist with a 4th of July barbeque. They were wonderful. They worked so hard helping with serving, clean up and visiting with our residents. They treated everyone like family. It was such a pleasure to have them here. Sally, Service Coordinator, Arbor Vista Senior Community read more

I can't believe that 2 days in a row we had people from Visiting Angels lie about us. This is the Humble group. The first day they showed up late, they broke our gate. The second day in a row, they tell the owner we sent them away. This was after extensive talk on the previous day. Unreliable, never know who is showing up and no apologies. Go some place else. Don't rely on people who lie. read more

As an employee of Visiting Angels, I can confidently say this is an excellent place to work. The staff truly cares about providing the best experience for both clients and caregivers. Would highly recommend! read more

Keith, Kathy, Tamara, Leticia, Sherry, Rebecca and all of the Visiting Angels team were a Godsend when my mom was released from a 10 day hospital stay with a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Originally their staying with her was to be temporary, but with each day her condition worsened and she passed away 30 days from the day of her diagnosis. The time that she spent with her Visiting Angels was great. I had no idea that anything like this existed, and God bless the internet that had so many great reviews, as well as people saying great things that were unsolicited. My family couldn't have gotten through the past few weeks without the beautiful caretakers she had...Laqueta, Roberta, Judy, Lady, Crystal...all were fantastic and helped us so much with her. Rebecca...thank you for your diligence and flexibility when I sent panicked emails about needing more help. The peace of mind that we were given while she was in their care was so appreciated! Keith..the service your company provides is phenomenal. You have a terrific staff of people and they make a huge difference in lives. Thank you for such a wonderful experience during such a difficult time. We are forever grateful. And as I type this I just received a certificate letting our family know that a tree has been planted by Visiting Angels in my mom's memory. Class act!! read more

I had the pleasure of working for Keith Beck at Visiting Angels several years ago. I didn't work out in the field, but was in the office. I was constantly amazed at his consistent, personal care for each and every one of his clients and their families. He was available 24/7 and NEVER dropped the ball where a client was concerned. He was vigilant about proper certifications, training, dress and behavior of anyone that he sent into a residence. His knowledge about this area of care and the natural loving of people from his Christian heart make his service to those in need just remarkable! read more

Don't waste your time with another company. We have tried several others and Visiting Angels of Livermore is rock solid, dependable, and is a group of wonderful people. They listen to your needs and find you the care givers that are a right fit for your situation. When they are with my parents, I do not worry. They work extremely hard and they CARE. Whatever they do to train and screen their care givers is working. If you have a change in your situation, they respond without missing a beat and keep you informed every step of the way. In my opinion this is the Cadillac of care when in comes to seniors. I am so very, very, very grateful for everything that they've done and continue to do for my parents. Don't hesitate to call them, talk to Keith and find out for yourself. read more

Visiting Angels helped care for my mother for 2 1/2 years, until just recently when she entered an assisted living facility at age 99 1/2. I had used a couple of other agencies before Visiting Angels but none of them came close to the excellent care Visiting Angels provided to my mother. All of their employees are reliable, well-trained, and most important, kind and caring people. I always felt that my mother was in excellent hands and this gave me peace of mind. They were always so good to her. The office staff was terrific and always responsive to my needs, even last minute ones. I can't say enough good things about Visiting Angels - I wish I could give them 10 stars. read more

The family is grateful for the wonderful care provided by the Visiting Angels while our mother courageously battled Parkinson's for the past six years. A special thank you to Mom's personal providers for their dedicated care for the past years: DeLayne Zollars, Jaime Medeiros, Ann Marie Winkler and Keith, the executive director of the Visiting Angels. Although Mom was in need of hospice, the Visiting Angels continued to provide their excellent care for Mom in her final days. read more

I cannot recommend Visiting Angels of Livermore highly enough. They took great care to make sure what my mother needed, what her preferences were, and what services could benefit her. There was never any pressure, never any awkwardness. The caregiver assigned to my mom was friendly, dependable and helpful. The caregiver was called on to help my mom dress, bathe, and go for walks (she is blind). The caregiver prepared her lunch and helped her find her programs on TV. It was a great relief to my mind to know that while I was at work, my mom was well taken care of. Her situation changed and Mom moved away from Livermore, but if she had remained we would have continued with Visiting Angels. I do not hesitate to give them the highest ranking. read more

I can't begin to tell you how much Visiting Angels did for my mom and our family. We were fortunate enough to have Delayne as our "angel" and we will never forget how much care and respect she provided for my mom while she was in hospice. Although we knew each other briefly at the time, we will be forever grateful for finding Visiting Angels to help us during a very difficult time and even more greatful for finding Delyane. I don't know what we would have done without them or her. My mom's final days were with respect and dignity and surrounded by love. We can't thank you enough read more

So far so good!! My mother is in upstate NY and previously would not let anyone that was not family in the house. Did not like to have strangers there. Ended up going to nursing facility for rehab, came home and finally agreed to it. Was nervous about it but she did like the Visting angels assigned to her right off the bat!!! They are not nursing aides, or expected to do nursing visits, but to do light housework and to take to drs visits. One big problem for many seniors, is isolation. They are more to also provide a companion care, and my mother needed that most. Unfortunately I live 300 miles from her so this will help to relieve some the isolation she feels. I was there when the angels come in the first week and I have to say, they are kind and attentive. I think we shall do well with them. If there are any changes to this I will rewrite my review. Obviously her assistance is provided by her local Visiting Angels but I could not find a local place to post a review but am very pleased, so far, by the company that I had to post something!!! It speaks well for the company in general. read more

I live in Kansas City and my Grandmother lived in Livermore CA for many years at an assisted living residence. As there were no other relatives there to help her with things and provide her with options to get out and shop or just take a drive, I engaged the Livermore Visiting Angels to visit her twice a week. They went out on errands and sometimes just to drive through to get something to eat. This arrangement was in place for a couple of years before my Grandmother moved back to Kansas City. During the time that she was visited by their staff, they took great care to work with her preferences for people, places and scheduling. The office staff were great at letting me know if, during their time with her, my Grandmother had mentioned not feeling well or a need for something. I didn't know what to expect when I first signed up with the service, but can now say that, based on my experience with this group, I would not hesitate to use their help again. read more

I cannot say enough about Kathy (who coordinates caregivers), the caregivers themselves, and Marla the Marketing Director! My mom was hospitalized in the past, and we have used them for many transitions home-always with excellent experiences. Recently, my mom was released from the hospital into hospice care at my sister's home. I was visiting from afar. We needed help, and this was obviously a very emotional time. The caregiver coordinator and caregivers were sensitive, experienced (giving us confidence to sleep, etc, which is so valued), and kind. I felt my mother was in excellent and loving care, when it could not be me with her. Kathy was able to arrange nightly assistance quickly, and really was so attentive and responsive. She came to the house, accompanied the newer caregivers, etc. Over the past few times interacting with them, we have grown to love Kathy, Marla and many of the caregivers, like family! They are just that kind of people. read more
