I like to compliment the home health nurse, Shiva Shadloo, RN who takes Excellent care of me after…read moredischarge from open heart surgery. I have never been a heart patient. I was diagnosed having a rare, quiet and non-genetically linked heart tissue disease. She guided me along and encouraged me to speak with my cardiologist as well as sending the attending cardiologist her questions; helping me to understand my concerns, side effects and benefits about heart medications. Her weekly visit helps me to stay positive and less depressed; feeling confident in self care. Just want others to know that home health visits are valuable, providing education and support for your self care at the comfort of your home; especially when one is not allowed to drive during healing period. Health Link is the place to look into when one needs support after being discharged home.

This agency had one of the highest ratings in the paperwork given to me at the hospital. We had a…read moremis-step on the intake but once Carrah was assigned my therapy went extremely well. My vitals were taken, I was shown the exercises, but what set her apart is that I was treated in such a compassionate way. I was not just a body healing from surgery. I was treated as an integrated person, recovering from surgery while all the daily stressors of life continued. My surgery was to relieve spinal compression, and it felt confusing to have some of the same symptoms as my nerves were waking up. I looked forward to Carrah showing up and reporting my concerns as well as my progress. The exercises helped to strengthen my body but I shared stressors that impacted my recovery and she patiently listened which made it possible to feel a sense of release. As I mentioned to Carrah, endoscopic surgery can be a bit misleading because you have less pain but your body has still been through surgery. I recommend Carrah highly. She is not only compassionate but skilled and experienced. I will think of her when I walk down to the far end of my street. I felt like I was walking with a friend and stopped to feel the wind on my cheeks and that I getting back to my life that I have missed. Kindly, Lauren

Let me start out by saying that I am a registered nurse working in home care so I know what quality…read morecare and case management looks like. Meredith, the owner of this company, was my beloved grandmother's private case manager towards the end of her life. I suggested my dad hire a private case manager as her dementia was getting worse and my dad was having a hard time coping and managing her medical and emotional needs. Meredith coordinated doctors appointments, coached my dad through dealing with dementia, helped arrange for and provide caregivers, and offered moral and emotional support and guidance for my grandmother and the whole family. My grandmother passed away peacefully at home, and I don't think it would have gone as well as it did without the help and support of Meredith and her team. Meredith was very patient with my grandmother who was wary of new people and afraid of relinquishing control as her dementia progressed. She also handled the tense family dynamics of end of life care very well and was almost like a family member during that time, we knew we could count on her. Thank you Meredith!

If you are looking for someone to oversee and care for your loved one, please don't hesitate these are the right people! Thank you again Nick for everything

They do what it takes to keep the patient comfortable. The owner, Alyna, is efficient and returns my calls in a timely manner. She always works hard to assign a caregiver whenever I need one for my husband. I highly recommend this business if you are in need of caregivers for your loved ones.

Her condition has deteriorated to the point that I was reaching burn out and needed some additional help. After speaking with owner, Alyna, she scheduled a time to meet me and my mom on the same day. That was the day when she was able to witness one of her combative moments. Realizing how important it was to provide some assistance, she went through the intake process to assess my mom's needs. I requested a Spanish speaking lady and she immediately got to work on her research. About 2 weeks later, she had the right person for me, brought her to our home to introduce her and get her started. My mom was not eager to have a stranger come to take care of her and, needless to say, we had a very difficult first day. However, Maria showed great patience, a very caring and calm attitude, followed all my instructions, and little by little she won her over! We just finished our second week and so far I'm very happy with the results. The bond between Maria and my mom is getting stronger and we keep making progress. I'm so relieved to have and extra pair of hands that will help maintain my sanity! Thanks Alyna for being there for us!

They go above and beyond for my clients all the time. 24Hour Home Care is the most reliable, systematic, professional, caring and affordable In-Home Care Service in the Bay Area. Their caregivers are well trained and knowledgeable in terms of caring for the elderly. In the healthcare industry, reputation is very important. And as a placement care coordinator myself, Im very picky who to work with. And Im glad I found 24hour Home Care and will be looking forward to many years of providing great service together!

My mother needed caregiving services after being discharged from the hospital. I would say that…read morethe intake and the care coordinators were nice and accommodating. I had to make several scheduling changes due to my mother's changing care needs and the care coordinators were able to accommodate. There was one time that they could not find a caregiver and did provide phone. I would say that the majority of the caregivers that they sent out were competent and my mom really liked them. The rest did not interact with my mom and just sat in the chair, saying nothing. One caregiver watched TV the entire night she stayed with my mom. I let the agency know and I asked them not to send those caregivers again. I was glad that we had access to caregivers but I think I may try to use another caregiver company if the need arises.

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!

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.
