At every turning point in my husband's condition Gary's plan worked to protect us and our assets. It can be difficult if you do not have the permissions needed to take over the responsibility for making decisions for another person. It was very difficult to do but without Gary's well thought out plan it would have been much harder. I owe him a lot.

We recently switched to them from an agency I shall not name as my mother was nearing her end. They handled the transfer and subsequent service in the most skillful compassionate manner that it was hard to believe they came from the same industry. They communicated just enough, never too much, and in such a genuinely empathetic way, there was never a problem with a caregiver (all exceptional) or bill. I really recommend them.

Alan Brauner at Senior Seasons is amazing. Recently my 89-year-old Mom fell and broke her hip…read more During her recuperation we realized that it just wasn't realistic for her to live at home alone anymore, and that we needed to find her an assisted living facility. Not knowing the first thing about these facilities, I reached out to Alan Brauner at Senior Seasons. I can't even begin to explain how helpful he was. He listened to our situation, provided me with insight and contact information on the local facilities, explained what I needed to know, and what to consider when reaching out to these prospective places. His advice was invaluable. He was always there for me, whenever I had questions. He was super responsive, emailing back or calling right away. And through this process my mom kept changing her mind about where she wanted to live (mid-peninsula near her friends, south bay near me), and so our requirements kept changing. Through it all Alan was patient and positive - something I really needed during this stressful time. I seriously have no idea how I would have handled this whole situation without him. I highly recommend Alan and Senior Seasons.

Exceptional care and genuine compassion. Starlight Caregivers Inc. has been a true lifeline for our…read morefamily. From the moment we connected with them five years ago, their professionalism and warmth stood out. The caregivers are not only highly skilled but also deeply empathetic--treating us with dignity, patience, and kindness every step of the way. They've become part of the family. Cindy and the team went above and beyond to anticipate our needs and provide tailored support, even during stressful times. Whether it was personal hygiene care, meal prep, or simply being a comforting presence, they consistently delivered with excellence. Their communication was clear and proactive, which gave us peace of mind knowing our family member was in good hands. They also made our lives easier by handling the paper-work for our long-term-care insurance. When an emergency arose and we suddenly needed around-the-clock (24x7) assistance, they were there with additional help and no gap in coverage. Just one text was all it took! What peace of mind knowing that we could rely on them to augment our regular caretaking schedule without having to hunt during a crisis for additional caretakers. If you're looking for a caregiving service that truly understands what it means to care, I can't recommend Starlight highly enough.

CK came with a reputation of being one of their most sought after and best aides and he happened to become available after caring for another gentleman for a long period. Little did we know what a powerhouse CK would be. In his early 70's and small of stature, it was a delight to see how strong of heart and body he was. His kindness and respect towards my father never faltered. He often did night care and never did he complain of being tired or the hours or the duties. He was loyal to the very end even when it took almost 4 years for my dad to pass when originally we all thought it would be a year. He never called out sick and probably took one or two short vacations in all that time. He was steadfast and competent and gave my father the dignity he deserved. Starlight was easy to work with and we are so grateful To have had them and CK be a part of our journey with my dads and of life. I can't recommend them enough!
