We had an outstanding experience with Family Matters, and I wanted to share this review because…read morethis is what exemplary care should look like. My 75-year-old mother underwent necessary brain surgery three weeks ago. Three days before surgery, she had a ground-level fall, tore her rotator cuff, and sustained a small fracture. Because the surgery could not be deferred, she proceeded as planned but required significant care at home afterward. She had been fully independent, and although she lives with my father, the caregiving needs were beyond his comfort level. I was able to help for a few days after her discharge, but it was clear they would need additional support for her to remain safely at home. The hospital nurses were wonderful, but my mom needed assistance even with basic tasks like repositioning in bed and using the restroom, as her left arm was immobilized. Our hospital care coordinator connected us with Amy, the client care manager for Family Matters, who met us at home right away. She performed a thorough evaluation and took the time to understand my parents' needs and preferences. Almost immediately, we were connected with KJ, the Director of Operations, who coordinated the caregiving schedule. She ensured an excellent match with caregivers and that coverage was consistent and reliable. Communication was seamless--KJ was always responsive and proactive with updates, and we never felt out of touch. My mom especially wanted to recognize her primary daytime caregiver, Maria. Maria was attentive, warm, and incredibly experienced, with over 20 years in caregiving. She is also an excellent cook and was especially skilled in helping my mom with more vulnerable tasks like showering. The other caregivers who supported nights and weekends were also wonderful. The team clearly put thought and care into matching personalities and backgrounds, which made a meaningful difference. Over the following weeks, my mom gradually regained her independence, and we were able to scale back care smoothly. The team made adjustments easy and seamless. We would absolutely use Family Matters again. This was our first experience with a caregiving service, and we were initially apprehensive, but they made the entire process easy, supportive, and reassuring. We would use them again in a heartbeat.

Managing my father's 24/7 caregiving across three agencies on top of everything else has been an…read moreenormous undertaking especially while working a demanding full time job. Even more challenging is finding caregivers you can truly trust during such a vulnerable stage of life. A very special thank you to Family Matters, and my father's caregiver, Sade. He is under hospice care with advanced dementia, and can barely speak. Sade is consistently patient, and kind, and gives me complete peace of mind whenever she's caring for him. Most importantly, she engages with him and makes him feel seen. This is in sharp contrast to other caregivers we've experienced who are often on their phones and treat him as if he's invisible. I'm also especially grateful for KJ who manages the caregivers and scheduling. While other agencies haven't taken the time to meet my father or me in person, KJ made it a priority to get hands-on training to fully understand my father's caregiving needs. Because of this, she's been able to step in to provide training and support which is a huge godsend given my limited bandwidth. She even proactively revised the caregiving shift note template to make it clearer and more helpful for our caregiving team. Family Matters has truly exceeded our expectations because they understand the real meaning of caregiving. On top of that, their participation in the Veterans Assistance Program, which requires stricter qualifications provides an added layer of confidence and experience.

I had outpatient surgery and was told someone needed to stay with me for eight hours afterward…read more Since I don't have family or friends nearby who could take time off work, I looked for a home health aide service and found California Seniors Care. The overall experience was very smooth--from meeting the care coordinator Natalie and signing the forms to making final arrangements by text. Everyone here was warm and helpful. A special shoutout to my caregiver, Candy, who was lively and fun. After I got home, I slept for a couple of hours, and when I woke up we chatted--the conversation helped me stay alert and shake off the grogginess from the anesthesia. Being Chinese, Candy understood my needs at home, and that cultural awareness was especially comforting while recovering on my own. Hopefully I won't need surgery again--but if I do, I'll be calling California Seniors Care!

Gentiva got our address wrong, they did not send nurses out like they said they would. The delivery of the bed and table was all wrong because they had the wrong address. Over all the day we really needed Gentiva Personal Care was one of the worst days of my life. My Mom passed a few days later. Just sucks she was in so much pain when if they did there job right it would have not happened. Just saying. I will say if your thinking about using hospice for your loved one, you should, you most certainly want your loved one to be at peace there last days or hours, just be careful who you choose. God Bless.

I started my work with special needs kids through Care at Home Kids and still trust their services. One of the things I best liked was that they go out of their way to have classes and on-site vaccinations so that their staff is always up-to-date on shots and things like child CPR techniques. This is the same office that used to run out of Santa Clara, but it has recently relocated to Campbell. Might see ya there!

We've had good experiences with both OT and PT as well as the RN. What's not helpful is their billing. Not too long ago, they sent me a invoice for services from one year ago.

When I found Palm Villas I felt that this was where she would receive the best care. I was correct. I live close by and between myself and her friends someone visited most every day. Palm Villas was always clean and smelled nice. Every staff member was knowledgeable and had a helpful and positive attitude. My wife was not happy about moving into a care facility, but the staff there turned her around. She frequently referred to them as "my friends". My wife declined fairly rapidly and needed ever increasing care and the folks at Palm Villas took it all in stride. They provided a level of care and supervision that I never could have given her at home.
