Right at Home Santa Barbara was recommended to me as a top home-care place by the clinic at their assisted living. Right at Home Santa Barbara is a beautifully run small company that excelled at matching up caregivers with my mother. I don't have to tell anyone with a beloved elderly relative in assisted living how difficult the lockdown was. But the caregivers who worked with my mom were not just compassionate and vigilant about her well-being, they also did her nails, fixed her hair, took her out for a spin in her wheelchair, accompanied her to doctors' appointments, washed her clothes, helped her to the dining table for her meals - and they were wonderful company. My mom became close friends with two of her caregivers and my husband and I came to love them, too and they will always be a part of our life. After my stepdad passed away in June 2021 and we were still in lockdown the extra care and company from Right at Home became more important. On Christmas day when our CA governor wouldn't allow me to have this important meal with my mom I wept. But when her caregiver sent me photos of the table she'd decorated and I called and my mom and her caregiver were laughing and having a great time - I was overjoyed. My mom passed away in July. I miss her terribly but I take great comfort in knowing how good her last year was. If you need home-care or have a relative who needs it, call Right at Home.

This is a perfect example of their dedication and support. I strongly recommend Love & Care if you have a loved confined to home.

The scheduling staff, does a great job with filling gaps in the schedule on a weekly basis. The company has strict cancellation policies. Also, the office staff may not always relay timely, effective and/or correct information to patients and other caregivers, regarding schedule changes and patient specific needs/situations, This can cause confusion, misunderstanding, continuous communication breakdown, which also contributes to lack of rapport with staff, frustration, and a myriad of challenges that could be prevented. This also leads to lack of patient-centered practices, BrightStar has been great in many regards and I am grateful for the support the caregivers and other staff have provided. Yet, there are always areas for growth and improvement, which I hope will be implemented to further strengthen the services they provide, along with their employees and the company in its entirety

My mother was admitted to the ER and the attending physician noticed that on my mom's health directive she did not want any life extending care including antibiotics. In her suffering he said that we could choose to not treat a UTI and allow her to pass. I informed the nurse of this and she balked at the idea. Fast forward a couple of months later, my mom was admitted to a memory care home that had a Dr. on staff. He said that he used another hospice because he had pushback from VNA as well. I would not recommend this hospice. They offered zero help. Nothing I couldn't do and wasn't already doing myself.

Over the last 6 years, I have had the occasion to work very closely with the LivHome office & staff in Santa Barbara. Their service has been as advertised - high quality and with a focus on patient and family satisfaction. The office staff is professional, and Jessica S., the "face of LivHome in the Community" is personable, fair-minded, professional and always responsive to the customers' needs. The compnay's response time has always been prompt - and while they may be a little more costly than other agencies - the adage holds true: "You get what you pay for!" The non-medical Home Care that LivHome provides allows people to remain 'independent' at home if that is what they desire. I would highly recommend LivHome to those searching for a high quality, caring, lower cost alternative to Long-Term Placement, as well as short-term services to assist with that transition home.
