Every interaction reflected genuine care and a commitment to making her final days as peaceful as possible. The staff was attentive, responsive, and highly skilled, always taking the time to address our questions and concerns. Their presence brought us reassurance and comfort when we needed it most.

As a social worker in a skilled nursing facility, having a reliable and compassionate hospice…read morepartner is essential, and Redwood Hospice in San Jose, CA has consistently exceeded expectations. Redwood Hospice is a trusted partner whenever I refer patients and families for hospice services. Their team is responsive, professional, and truly patient-centered. One of the most impressive aspects of their service is their ability to have their hospice physician come out the same day to evaluate and meet with the patient and family, which brings tremendous reassurance during a very difficult time. Their liaison, Chris Tran, is exceptional. Communication is always fast, clear, and reliable. Chris is proactive, knowledgeable, and makes the referral process smooth for both the facility and the family. Knowing that Redwood Hospice is involved gives me confidence that patients will receive compassionate, timely, and high-quality end-of-life care. I highly recommend Redwood Hospice to families and healthcare professionals looking for a hospice provider they can truly trust

We'd recommend them to anyone seeking hospice care.

It creates a safe and welcoming environment for both patients and staff. It is a facility where professionalism, teamwork, and compassion are clearly prioritized. It is a place where I would be honored in pursuing employment after completing my clinicals. During my clinical experience, I felt encouraged to learn and was consistently supported by staff who were willing to share their knowledge while maintaining a strong focus on proper patient centered care. Having a grandfather with Parkinson's disease deepened my understanding of the importance of patience, dignity, and compassionate care; values that Creekview consistently demonstrates. I am truly appreciative of the professionalism and empathy shown by the entire team, and I would feel very confident entrusting my own family's care to this facility.

If you are looking for a place for an Alzheimer's, patient to have a long-term care, this is…read moreprobably a very good solution. If you're looking for short-term skilled nursing, I'm not so sure. I brought my mom in here to recover from major surgery. They screwed up the medications for the first 2 to 3 days until I came in and sorted it out myself. And if you're doing this, just be aware, that if the hospital transfers a patient, it can take them a minimum of 12 hours to get the medication to their facility, but no one will tell you this. So as a result, my mother who is suffering from extreme pain due to major surgery, had to wait almost 12 hours for medication because once I realized what was going on, I had two traipse to her house and procure some myself. And even once I thought we sorted it out, they still kept forgetting to give her some of the meds she was supposed to have for her eyes. It was eminently frustrating. They treat everyone like a dementia patient whether they have dementia or not. This is a material problem for people who do not have dementia. If someone is trying to recover from something, it means they will not get the attention, exercise, etc. that they need to actually recover. They'll be told to stay in bed and not move. Not helpful. They are shortstaffed on skilled nurses for the facility. There's basically one per shift and that is the only person who is allowed to do much of anything other than very basic stuff. Another material problem in my point of view The facility itself is very nice, clean, with a variety of separate spaces that are all well maintained. The food was high-quality. There are enough people around that you can feel like at least someone is always on duty and attending to the needs of the residence. Everyone who works there is delightful. To be fair, they listen to my concerns and tried to rectify and respond in a timely manner. If this is considered one of the best of the best, I'm alarmed for what that means for my own old age. It was OK. Like I said, if you're using it for long-term Alzheimer's support it's probably fine.

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!

Stratford is responsible for my brothers death. My brother survived a 6 month stay at Stanford…read morehospital where he underwent several surgeries ,endured a heart attack, Coma, lots of complications I was told each week by a different Dr that I should get him to Hospice to which I would explain that I heard that same suggestion each week and each week the new Dr would call me and say what a miracle that he recovered from from the prior week. The answer was NO. My brother had compilations from his feeding tube. It was placed because he forgot how to chew and swallow. It happens a lot after a coma. The bad thing was when his stomach would fill with fluids and he would have to get it pumped out by surgery. I was told about every 3 months.. So when my brother was released to Stratford, He was excited to be out of the hospital but scared also. Soon enough I was not so sure. My stomach and intestines resulting from kidney Failure. He was the last sibling I had as there were 4 kids total with me being last and my brother the oldest at 64. It started with the dude new staff members. Never answering requests for certain foods, not giving him proper care by not cutting his 1 inch long nails, or bringing him what he requested to eat or showers etc. then the Dr . He would only see a Dr online video chat. The staff that would give him random pills from this Dr he spoke with. When my brother would get his pills he would say " What is this?" They would answer back very shortly and yell " Your Medicine!" With No regard to tell him what it was for. My Brother asked me repeatedly to get him help with his Social Security and each time I would go up to the counter and request help for him. Not once would they. Also the director would always want to do a lengthy questionnaire for my brother regarding end of life and I would always tell her to let him fill it out and help him. It wasn't my business as he was getting better by the day. He started to go grocery shopping and I would take him. He hated their food and started buying his own. His stomach was really hurting him one day and I asked if they had asked or said anything about getting it drained. It was getting quite large in the belly area. He had no clue what I was talking about. I went to the front desk and let them know what was happening. It was poison for my brother. They called 911 that night and my brother went into emergency surgery . He stayed in hospital for 4 days before returning to Stratford.. I was very surprised they were not aware of it again. My brother couldn't quite walk on his own and asked for therapy one day along with me he was told it's not covered by insurance. He was bedridden. His clothes were always missing also. I Was busy around Xmas an ZNew Years day. Do We and had only taken him shopping for groceries and was felling pretty bad. I was heading out of town when he called me and said his stomach was hurting once again. It was filling up fast. He said he would let staff know. The next day I was headed to Reno for New Year's Eve. I called my brother and asked how things were going, he said his stomach was terrible. I asked if I should take him to hospital as an ambulance was not covered per the manager there at Stratford. My brother said "No, the staff said they would get him to hospital. I asked that he call me the next day for update. He agreed. 5 days later on Dec 31st my phone rang and it was Bebe the Director at Stratford, she said my brother was not responsive. I asked where he was as I was suprised she was calling me. She replied he was at Stratford. I said WHAT? He should have been in hospital as of 5 days earlier. She called me back and said she had no record of that request. I then told her I was coming to Stratford and to not touch any of his stuff. I got a call from Hospital telling me there was nothing they could do. It would require surgery I was told a few hours later on New Years Day that he passed. I kept getting calls from BeBe the director asking if he passed. It was very rude. I did let her know I was coming to retrieve his items. I wanted to see how much food he had eaten. I asked Bebe to please leave his area alone. I wanted to know how he left it a week solid. She assured me she would wait until I got there. Once I arrived, nothing was left. Everything was tossed. . I spoke to someone who said he was in pain and slept in his bed the entire time. No one checked on him. This person also was threatened by staff not to speak to me or he would e punished by his meds being held. Stratford killed my brother. They never did anything to help him. They ignored his request even for help with his social security benefits. He wanted to get outta there and would use those to help him. I will never forgive Raymond the front desk clerk or Be Be the director and the gal in charge of helping him with paperwork. I am upset she never raised a finger to help him.

Every single individual that was on Aracelii ( RN and Case Manager) team was clear in their ability to explain processes, sensitive and compassionate when caring for my mother, highly aware and knowledgeable on the topic of pain management and the use of morphine, understanding of all types of issues when transitioning patients between levels of care and to and fro between inside operations and outside vendor/facilities. My mother faced a medical error and because of her reaction to not being given medication properly she faced an unimaginable situation that our family faced and needed help with. The facility she was housed at did not give the emergency care, nor did Sutter Home Health and ONLY when American Hospice stepped in did we uncover the problem. By then my mom had to face a traumatic experience. Without Aracelli's team and Hospice Spiritual Leader Mariah, my sister and I might of collapsed out of physical and emotional exhaustion. Right now I write I am grieving, I am forgetful of names, but I want give my thanks to all those who assisted my family maneuver the last weeks of my mothers life. There is one last note: After my mother left us, the young man who came to dress and prepare my mother for her last journey, was an angel. He made the process of washing and caring for my mother easier. He helped me hold her. This man, an LVN ( I believe) was not afraid of death. And, because of that we together were able to make my mother ready to see her 'maker'. God bless this young man for the job he does on a daily basis. This is a role no one thinks of and which is very very very important to family members who's culture includes preparing the body for heavenly transition. To conclude: Thank You To EVERYONE who CARED ENOUGH TO GIVE THEIR BEST TO OUR MOTHER IN HER LAST DAYS.

We were so grateful that we selected Quail Gardens over the multiple options in the tri-valley. Mom was well cared for, treated with dignity and respect, and encouraged to participate and socialize with the other residents. It is a horrible chapter, to lose your independence and be under the care of others. But the team at Quail Gardens, led by example from Alicia and Jenn, made the transition as smooth as possible. The entire team is caring and really do everything they can to engage with and get to know the personalities of each resident. What I appreciated most is how welcome my siblings and I were. We were encouraged to visit often and stay as long as we like. We were as welcomed as we could be to the point where the staff became an extension of our family keeping us posted on how Mom was doing on the few days we were not able to get by for a visit. The BEST part of Quail Gardens is their patio - it is such a peaceful and inviting space. Mom and I loved to sit out there, have a diet coke and play cards. We would do so for hours. If you are looking for a home for a loved one, please reach out to Alicia and give Quail Gardens a visit.
