We found Assisting Hands when a California based family member conducted an extensive and thorough…read moresearch of options to provide care for my wife's father. As my father in law is now approaching 102 (next month), the level of care is now essential and "round the clock". With us living on the East Coast and for my wife's father to be able to remain in his own home, having a fully reliable and conscientious service was not only very important but now has become a true requirement. Because of the commitment and dedication of the owner and a number of also extraordinary staff members, we believe that the care provided has most often been truly excellent. Over now more than 2 years, Assisting Hands has earned our Trust and Confidence. When a caregiver was unavailable, Assisting Hands has always been agile and "there" to assure continuous "on site" coverage, without exception. We thank the owner and a large number of caregivers for their fine efforts, often exceeding high expectations, and delivering a level of service that has permitted my father in law to be able to stay in his home, as he very much wanted and currently desires. Should there be any questions that could be addressed by us, kindly contact the owner of Assisting Hands for our Western, New York contact information. It is true for us that a partnership with an organization such as Assisting Hands works best when there is an active family support person(s) in full contact with the service provider. The owner of Assisting Hands has gone well beyond more than both normal and high expectations to personally do everything possible to provide quality, timely, and proactive service. We have been very impressed and appreciative for the excellent overall personal services received. We very much recognize what Assisting Hands has provided for our family. We are grateful to my wife's sister for finding Assisting Hands and initiating its services, and to Nina for her caring approach in running her business. JGU

My parents moved into Highgate Senior Living at Temecula about four months ago, and like many…read morefamilies, I was initially very concerned about the transition. Thankfully, our experience has been nothing short of amazing. From the beginning, the staff have been incredibly kind and helpful, and the environment is warm and welcoming. A special mention goes to Kat Librojo, the Activities Director/Life Enhancement Coordinator, who has truly made a remarkable difference in my parents' daily lives. Kat plans a wide variety of fun, engaging, and meaningful activities that keep residents active and connected. My parents participate daily in many of Kat's programs--from exercise in the gym, balloon games, trivia, and bingo, to flower arranging, chair Pilates, core strength classes, and their favorite: Thursday Happy Hour with live music! Kat is always full of energy and creativity, and whenever I visit, she's there with a smile, often decorating for the next holiday or special event. It's clear that the joy and engagement my parents feel is directly tied to the caring and dedicated team at Highgate--especially Kat. I'm so grateful to see them not just comfortable, but truly thriving.

As…read moreanyone who has a parent living with a horrible disease knows, it takes very patient very caring people to make everyone more comfortable. We have that here at Highgate. Sam and Jose are one in a million (well 2 in a million). In a business that has a LOT of turnover, these two HEROS have been looking after our mom for quite some time and we are grateful to have them. While we hope and pray that no one ever needs the services at Highgate senior living (memory care) rest assured they have excellent care givers. A special shout out to Jessica and her team. While we don't have as much interaction with the evening shift we can give many kudos to Michaela and Joseph. And we would be remiss if we didn't offer an additional thanks to Natasha and Jessica (care partner)

In the 7 years that I have been working for OC Hospice, I have met many Senior Placement Specialists, and I have found the level of knowledge and commitment vary tremendously amongst them. Because of the sensitive nature of the cases that we deal with, it is imperative for us to have dedicated and trustworthy professionals that we can refer to. Steve Wanamaker is not only a man of deep integrity and compassion, but he also is deeply knowledgeable and focused on providing the best possible solutions to his clients. Steve will leave no stone unturned in his search for the best possible match to what each client requires and needs. If the time has come for you or a loved one to move into an Assisted Care Living situation, or a Board & Care, Steve is the person you should be talking to. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Steve Wanamaker, with Oasis Senior Advisors." Sylvia Adler Community Liaison OC Hospice

What truly sets him apart is his kindness and compassion--qualities that mean everything during such an emotional and overwhelming time.

His personable nature made it easy to trust his recommendations, and his strong relationships with board and care owners ensured we had access to quality options quickly.

Susan listened to our family story, learning about both who our mother is and what her care needs are. Both of these perspectives were critical to finding the "best fit" community for mom and for us. Susan knows the questions to ask and what she needs to know so she can narrow the search to focus only on communities that are potential matches for the family and individual's care needs. Susan did everything she could with us in advance of visiting communities to make that day easier. She had community info and could answer many of our questions before we even talked to the community's team. And when we met with the community's team, Susan asked questions after my sister and I finished ours to get answers to things we wanted to know and had forgotten. The value of Susan's services for families is exceptional because her fees are paid by the community which a family selects. It's a win-win all the way around and this cost model really benefited our family. We forged a collaborative partnership with Susan to find mom's community without having to worry about what service costs how much. I can't express how grateful and appreciative we are of the time we worked with Susan. In our case, Susan suggested we start with visiting three communities and the first one was a perfect fit for our mom's care and us as a family. Susan even checked in on us after mom moved in and wanted to make sure the community was meeting our expectations (and hers!). Susan did the legwork needed to ensure our mom's comfort and safety, and it lifted so much of the burden my sister and I felt regarding finding a community for mom. Susan receives my HIGHEST recommendation!
