This is where we come in. East Bay Assisted Living Services has done all of the research for you to ensure that whichever home you choose, it is happy and safe.We spent countless hours visiting each senior community, meeting the owner and staff, and checking with the state and county to ensure that everything is in order.

Our family is indebted to Sandra for helping us find an appropriate placement for our 80 year old…read moremother, who has advanced Alzheimer's dementia. Due to this and some other health issues, Mom needs a high level of care and we are paying out of pocket so our budget was tight, especially for the Bay Area, where care costs can easily exceed $8000 a month. When COVID hit, our mom's former facility ended all visitation in the name of safety for the residents. While we understood the need to do that, it came with consequences. Our mother was neglected by this facility, and as a result became gravely ill and nearly died of sepsis in early July. We knew we needed to find her a new place ASAP, but having been through that when we first placed her 7 years ago, we knew it was an arduous and overwhelming task. Through a series of fortuitous events I was given Sandra's name and contact information by the coordinator at Sunrise Senior Living in San Mateo. When I called her she was comforting and understanding, but you can tell this lady is a steel magnolia, and she gets shit done. She listened carefully to our wish list of needs for Mom, and said she knew of several possibilities that she thought could be a match. Even just hearing that we had options, was an enormous relief! With Sandra's help and guidance, we found a fabulous new care arrangement for Mom, that was within our budget, in four days. FOUR DAYS. If I were religious I would say it was a miracle, but I'm not so I credit Sandra's expertise and extensive network of resources and contacts. We visited Mom in her new facility a week ago and she is doing better than she has in years. We were astounded, because dementia patients are not known for reacting well to changes in their routine and moving to a new living situation is an enormous adjustment. In some cases it can take weeks for the person to settle in. Not so here. After about a week of confusion (night wandering, escape attempts) she settled in HARD. This was very apparent during our visit. Even though she lost her ability to speak due to the dementia, our mother's moods still come through loud and clear, and it's very easy for us to know when she is not happy or doesn't like someone/something. During our visit she was content, smiled a lot, and was extremely friendly with her new caregiver. For the first time in a while, our family has peace of mind and the certainty of knowing our mother is truly safe, in a good place, and that we have done right by her. We can never thank Sandra enough for her part in this outcome. You cannot go wrong by working with her, so if you have a family member in need, do not hesitate. Pick up that phone now and contact her. You will not be sorry.

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.

But Renee was immediately responsive to my inquiry and extremely helpful from the get-go. She worked with my estate attorney and me to put everything in order and has always been extremely professional and knowledgeable. It also put my mind at ease that she has a background in technology and cybersecurity, so I didn't have to worry about her handling my sensitive documents in a way that would put them at risk. When I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, she leaped into action to help me make sure that everything we had planned to that point was rock solid. And now that my cancer is terminal, she's stepping up even more to help me ensure that my and my son's estates will be well managed for the next 25+ years. Renee is exactly the kind of fiduciary you want managing your estate. She is extremely capable, always takes the long view, is very professional and friendly, and really knows her stuff. I'm very lucky that I found her!

The hospice doctor visited and ordered nebulizer with mask to ease the breathing and upon our request, also ordered an IV drip so dad could live for another 48 hours until all the out of town children arrived to say goodbye.
