    We scheduled care service with Homewatch CareGivers of Pasadena, CA, twice. Both times the verbal…read moreand written communication was either lacking or completely non existent. Honestly, quite scary. The first scheduled care person ended up at the wrong client's house. Later, when the agency contacted her, she was provided inaccurate and incomplete info on me. With no unit number, wrong phone number and no last name, how was she expected to contact me. Luckily, the care person was resilient. Also, it turned out that the care person scheduled for my second 3-day week care was notified at the very last minute from this agency! In my opinion, this agency does not appear to be professionally administered. For "me," I do not expect the office staff to communicate effectively and efficiently in the future, or apply HIPPA safe practices. I will not use again. Pros: Both care persons, however, were awesome; they were very personable, clean, and performed their duties exceptionally well.

    Angelica at Homewatch has been extremely helpful and she is so knowledgeable and responsive. I was…read morelooking for in home care for a parent. Angelica came to the home to meet with my parent. She asked them wonderful questions and did an evaluation for memory and stability. So often the senior is completely ignored but she wanted their input. During the hour and half conversation she was able to obtain a wonderful sense of their day, likes and dislikes, food preferences, and things that would be important for them to stay at home. Angelica is a wonderful resource to help find appropriate in home care.

    When they first cared for my father, I was in love. They took incredible care of him. I told them…read morethat I would give glowing reviews for them in Yelp. Then he fell and broke a vertebra in his spine. I do not know the circumstances of his fall, or where the caregiver was at the time. I'm sure they were nearby and just could not stop the series of events that led to my fathers injury. Because he ended up in the hospital, we stopped Home Instead services. When we signed dad up with Home Instead, I gave them a credit card for the deposit as I did not have any checks with me. A one time administrative fee of $75.00 was added to the charge and that was fine with me. It was just to set him up in their system. I was asked for my home address so an invoice could be mailed. At that point my thought was that I would pay them by check when I received the invoice. I don't remember at any point if it was mentioned that they do not accept checks or even if it was in all the small print on the paperwork I signed. I received an invoice in the mail and paid the invoice by electronic check through the bank. At the sometime they charged the amount on the invoice to the credit card on file and added an $80.00 fee for using the credit card. After a number of phone calls they eventually reversed the amount on the credit card by the amount I paid by check but the $80 remained on the credit card and I was told by Home Instead it would NOT BE REMOVED!!!! They explained after I had the check sent that their policy is that they do NOT ACCEPT CHECKS! Apparently they only charge on credit cards and add a fee of whatever percentage to the charge. I am finding that this is common. HOWEVER....They should have reversed the $80 fee as the bill was paid by check which they DID accept because it was electronic and the funds were removed from the checking account once it left the bank. So I could not cancel the check. But the $80 sat on the credit card and I finally just paid it to get this whole mess behind me. They only accept payment via credit card and charge the fees back to you. Absolutely no checks allowed....that is unless they are reimbursing YOU then it's okay to be in check form. They sent me a check for the deposited amount as we did not use them on the final night minus the $75.00 administrative fee. So they kept the administrative fee of $75 AND and a credit card fee of $80. I would recommend but only for their care, NOT THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE PRACTICES. Beware of the fees! IF I ever get my $80 back, I'll update my review. UPDATE: I have received a check for the $80.00. I have changed my review to 4 stars. Again, I loved the Caregivers and the folks behind them. But my feelings on how I was told that Dr Greg would absolutely not reimburse the $80 causes them to lose a star.

    My grandmother recently entered hospice with limited time remaining per her doctor's assessment. We…read moresought professional caregiving services, and in interviewing agencies over the phone, we were clear and direct about the services required. A significant, and common, part of her hospice care would entail administering meds, and we inquired about this directly over the phone. We were assured that this was a service that Home Instead provided, and we moved forward with scheduling an in-home assessment. At the appointment, the service professional said that they, in fact, do not administer meds. I would have hoped that an agency that provides care during such vulnerable times would be direct and sensitive in answering questions related to caregiving before moving forward with services. The misleading information presented to us over the phone has resulted in wasted time and further delays in securing care for my grandmother. I sincerely hope that this review is considered and practices are refined to better inform potential clients, holding more respect and awareness of the stress, time, and emotional energy required to secure care at end of life. This could have been avoided had our direct questions over the phone been answered accurately. The unnecessary time spent at the at home assessment would have been better used enjoying the precious moments remaining with my grandmother.
