It proved to be very difficult giving myself these shots. My daughter suggested I find an at-home nursing service that could help give me the shots. Fortunately, I discovered Care From the Heart, and Nurse Jackie. She was available on very short notice to come to my home and help. What a relief. From her first visit she was professional, caring, sympathetic, and efficient. She came everyday to administer my shot, in the arm and leg. She was very good and administered my daily shots almost painlessly. Such a relief. I would recommend Care from the Heart for any in-home nursing needs.

Caregivers showed up when scheduled and provided all the services one would expect from a professional organization. Compassionate and caring, I just wish I would have hired them from the beginning.

When my mother-in-law passed away last September, our family made the decision to bring my…read more90-year-old father-in-law, Tom, from the East Coast to live with us in California. We knew it was the right decision, but we also knew it would be a huge life transition--for Tom and for our entire family. One of the very first calls I made after returning home was to Home Instead. From the moment I met with our Care Manager, Luvuonna, I felt something I had been desperately hoping for: peace. Luvuonna welcomed us with such compassion, patience, and grace. She took the time to understand Tom, our family, and the challenges we were facing, and she walked alongside us as we navigated this completely new chapter. I remember leaving that first meeting thinking, "We're going to be okay." Then she introduced us to Kathy. There are people who simply do a job, and then there are people who answer a calling. Kathy is one of those rare people. From day one, she has cared for Tom with genuine love, kindness, dignity, and respect. She doesn't just help with his daily needs or drive him to doctor's appointments--she brings joy to his days. She treats him like family, and over the past year, she has truly become part of ours. Knowing Kathy is with Tom while we're at work gives us something that is priceless: complete peace of mind. We know he is safe. We know he is cared for. We know he is loved. It's hard to put into words what that means to a family caring for an aging parent. Caregiving can be emotionally overwhelming, and inviting someone into your home requires tremendous trust. Kathy has exceeded every expectation we could have imagined. She is dependable, compassionate, honest, and has one of the kindest hearts I've ever known. Although this review is long overdue, my gratitude certainly isn't. As we approach nearly a year of working together, I wanted to take the time to recognize the incredible impact Kathy and the entire Home Instead team have had on our family. To anyone searching for care for a loved one: I know how difficult and emotional that decision is. If you're fortunate enough to work with Home Instead, and especially with Luvuonna the case manager , know that your loved one will be in extraordinary hands. Thank you, Home Instead, for helping our family through one of life's most difficult transitions. Thank you, Luvuonna, for guiding us with such compassion and wisdom from the very beginning. And thank you, Kathy, for loving Tom so well. You have been a blessing to him, to all of us, and we truly believe God brought you into our lives at exactly the right time. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making this season of life not only manageable, but filled with dignity, compassion, and hope. We are forever grateful. With heartfelt gratitude, The Amlicke Family

Not knowing the first thing about these facilities, I reached out to Alan Brauner at Senior Seasons. I can't even begin to explain how helpful he was. He listened to our situation, provided me with insight and contact information on the local facilities, explained what I needed to know, and what to consider when reaching out to these prospective places. His advice was invaluable. He was always there for me, whenever I had questions. He was super responsive, emailing back or calling right away. And through this process my mom kept changing her mind about where she wanted to live (mid-peninsula near her friends, south bay near me), and so our requirements kept changing. Through it all Alan was patient and positive - something I really needed during this stressful time. I seriously have no idea how I would have handled this whole situation without him. I highly recommend Alan and Senior Seasons.

The base price includes meals, weekly apartment cleaning and laundry service, and transportation around town.

I was routinely impressed with the variety of daily activities and gatherings for the residents, as well as how fun they made each holiday through decorations and special events. I would especially like to shout out the food service - 3 rotating main course choices for every dinner, with standard items always available like a steak or a hamburger.
