We recently moved from Pasadena to Dana Point. After considering many options -- from condos to…read morehomes to other over 55 communities, we settled on Sea Bluffs. Our experience has been nothing less than outstanding. The staff has been extraordinarily helpful with every little question or need we've had. They even brought us meals our first few days while we were trying to move in and unpack! Now that's above and beyond. We live in a beautifully refurbished condo with all new appliances, carpeting and paint overlooking the Pacific. The other residents have been welcoming and helpful with tips for local services and how to make the most of what Sea Bluffs offers. Now, everyone always asks about the food. I'm not going to lie and say it's gourmet cuisine, but it's good, healthy, plentiful and with plenty of choices. On the days I don't like what they're serving for dinner or lunch I just order from their "everyday menu" and get a burger, sandwich, or salad. Similarly, the activiites are plentiful. There are exercise classes, art classes, group discussions, singing groups and my personal favorite -- water aerobics! We hated leaving our home and Pasadena but it was time to prepare for the future, get away from potential fires, and be someplace cooler. I know we made a good choice by coming to Sea Bluffs. I can't imagine any other community that would check so many boxes.

A quick shout out to a tremendous 'Transition Team'!

My husband and I just wanted them all to know how appreciative we are for creating a forever home, for Mom at Sea Bluffs - Evergreen.

All the coordinators at Angel On My Shoulder have excellent bedside manners. Just talk to Carol for five minutes and you'll know what I mean. If I find myself in a position to be a trustee again I will definitely call them.

We had a horrible experience today with this company. I called them on Friday, and the initial…read morehome visit on Saturday went well. But then this company's performance went downhill from there. Steve Orta said he had a care giver by the name of Sonia Lenville lined up to arrive at our house today at 8:00AM. I called him at 8:15 and advised him Sonia had not yet shown up. He tried calling her, but no answer. Steve then called and said he would work to find someone else. My wife had knee surgery yesterday, and I had a funeral to attend today. I was running out of time On a very stressful day. Steve lives very close to us, and I asked if he would come until he found a replacement. That is the last I heard from Steve. I was left to sort out his mess with this very unreliable Sonia on my own. I would steer clear of Steve, Sonia Lenville and Healthy at Home. They are a 3-ring circus.

I was really hopeful this place would workout, it being local and more affordable than others. But…read moreI guess you get what you pay for. My family needed companion care for my 87 year old grandma. We spoke to Darla and received a free assessment to better serve my grandmother's needs & Set up our days and times. On the expected date of arrival no one showed! I then called to inquire what happen, and I was told there must've been a miscommunication and the girl that was picked out for us had already taken a full-time position. I was then offered the following day with a new caregiver, I politely agreed. That next morning I received a phone call from Darla explaining The caregiver schedule to come will not be coming. So she would be sending her assistant instead. Giving the benefit of the doubt I agreed. Two hours into the four hour shift I was pulled aside by the assistant and rudely judged and shamed for "drug paraphernalia" seen on an outdoor table. This drug paraphernalia she referred to was a small marijuana pipe that one is legal in the state of California and two medically prescribed to a member of my household and has been prescribed to that person for years. When I tried to explain that to her she became agitated and rude. I stated that I wasn't sure if this was going to work out, I don't think it's appropriate to be judge and treated poorly in my own home. She then snapped back at me saying "If this isn't going to work out I need to know now"! I explained that I wanted to discuss it with her boss. Her response was "NO! I am her assistant you'll deal with me, if this isn't gonna work out I want to know now because I am leaving"!! So I kindly dismissed and and she stormed out. Her behavior was so unbelievably unprofessional!! I could understand there being an issue if someone was smoking around her or other caregivers but that was not the case.

First, I want to say that the service we received from our caregiver Dahlia was outstanding. She…read morewas very knowledgeable, dependable and always worked hard to take care of my dad's needs. I felt she truly cared and that's why they got two stars instead of zero. Dahlia gets five stars! Unfortunately, Home Helpers recently sent us a letter stating they were going to have to change their fee schedule due to changing labor laws. Of course, they had known about this change for quite some time and they had time to plan for it. However, they advised that our fee increase was to go into effect less than a week after we received the letter. This gave us little to no time to make any changes. Darla, the manager, also tried to make it sound like we, personally, could be sued if she didn't implement the fee increases. The is ridiculous and just seemed to be written to intimidate us. She wrote, "This has to go into effect on November the 7th as there are cases that have gone to court on the caregivers not being paid correctly, which means you and I will be sued." For the record, I don't think it was the huge fee increase that bothered me as much as the lack of time for us to make plans. Fortunately, we were able to make arrangements with another company. Darla then told us that "It is really a shame that you will not pay her what she is worth. Good luck" Doesn't really appear that their management is very compassionate to seniors unfortunately. Again, Dahlia, the caretaker was awesome. Management not so much.

It was our first time navigating this kind of service, and honestly, we didn't know what to expect. From the start, they moved quickly. They came out right away to assess the situation, made clear and thoughtful recommendations, and matched us with caregivers who were genuinely excellent. No scrambling, no gaps, they just handled it. Rebecca and Lauren managed everything on the care coordination side, and they were outstanding. Responsive, proactive, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. That kind of communication matters enormously when your family is stressed and trying to make good decisions fast. The caregivers themselves were professional, kind, and clearly knew what they were doing. My father was well looked after, and that peace of mind is hard to put a price on. If you're on the fence about whether a service like this is worth it, it is. We're grateful we found them when we needed it most.
