I cannot say enough good things about this caregiving service. My father came home from a skilled nursing facility needing some additional support while he continued to recover medically. At first, we arranged companion care, which included medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and, just as importantly, having someone there to keep him company. As he improved and became more independent, the agency was able to adjust the level of care accordingly. We eventually moved to On Demand Care, primarily for transportation to appointments. I really appreciated that the care evolved with his needs rather than keeping him at a level of service he no longer required. The flexibility to adjust the care as his needs changed was incredibly valuable to us. Most of the caregivers were people he genuinely liked. They were consistently on time, respectful, helpful, and patient with him. Some personalities were a better fit than others, which is natural, but overall he was comfortable with them. I know he would be happy to see many of them if he ran into them out in public. What gave me the most peace of mind was knowing that the caregivers had been vetted through the agency and that I had someone to turn to if an issue ever came up. I communicated with the agency by text, phone, and email, and they were consistently responsive, respectful, and timely. If I had a concern or needed something addressed, they communicated with the caregiver directly. I never felt like I was left to figure things out on my own. I will admit that I was a little unsure in the beginning because of how professional they were. I have been disappointed and, frankly, burned by service providers in the past, so I was cautious. But this agency turned out to be the most prompt, punctual, and professional agency I have ever worked with. Bringing an elderly parent home after a skilled nursing stay can be stressful, and having a reliable caregiving agency made a tremendous difference for us. I am very grateful for the support they provided, the flexibility they showed as my father recovered, and the peace of mind of knowing that there was a professional and responsive team behind the caregivers. I would absolutely recommend this service to other families who need dependable care for an aging parent. read more

Tandem Care has been offering home help to my ninety-one year old sister for about a year. Their steady companionship has increased her cognition, and their help in many areas (errands, household organization, use of technical devices, household cleaning, to name a few) has added to her independence and pleasure in life. They spend one hour a day or more with her three days a week, and this structure has been tremendously helpful to her. She and I both recommend Tandem Care highly. read more

I found Tandem Care to be a comfort to me when I was feeling down and not being sure what to do next . My husband was having health issues and not getting around very well and all of a sudden I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. So having to deal with both our appointments was very busy . I was overwhelmed Dr Sabre suggested Tandem Care so I got an appointment for phone calls to my home. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to talk about my situation to a person I had never met.Kelly Schwan called me and it made me feel less down on the situation I was in. She sent me valuable information I did not have and was kind . I mostly felt relief after her call and Was able to go on to figure whats next. I found Tandem care to be helpful in my case.

I hired and paid Tandem Care to drive me to a critical medical procedure. They agreed to pick me up at 6:30 am and they called me to cancel at 6:15 am. This left me with 15 minutes to find alternate transportation to the procedure, which involved a $200 cancelation fee. I do not recommend this company. read more

Very nice knowledgeable care team, we got them for my sister and will definitely use again. Would like to extend my thanks to Ramo a sweet angel thank you Ramo for treating my sister like your own. Love you all Tandem Care team. read more

I want to give kudos to Eileen Cortez at Tandem.She made a very difficult time bearable for me. She was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable and most of all, a delight to be around.

I had a very good experience hiring Tandem Care to help my Dad. They had a thorough onboarding session where they discussed many aspects of my Dad's that I hadn't considered. The representatives were friendly, responsive, and easy to work with. My Dad was also very pleased with the Caregiver who showed up to help him. read more

This is a wonderful service. Everyone from the office staff to the actual caregivers are fantastic!

Hiring Recruiter Jennie Whisnant and The Operations Manager Roya did a Zoom interview Thursday and Friday between 12 noon to 12:30 were the times of the zoom interview being held , I spoke to Jennie Ending the year 2023 December I was in a process of moving forward to another agency because I was stuck in a Long distance from home traveling 35 miles for a resident which I thought was no my fair for what the agency was paying me and my gas was more expensive then the hourly pay gave them 8 days notice so I can resign I was in a process of goin to for nursing school or getting another agency work , closed to home that does home care so Jennie told me that I meet the qualities she was looking for I have 7 years in Homecare with Agencies and assisted Living she would wait for me to apply for Tandem Care when I was ready to let go my previous job my zoom interview went well according to Jennie and Roya mentioned the same that she would give a offer Letter would give me a schedule to start work 1/15/24 they both did not contact me as they would I assumed it was a holiday they were out of work next day I call Jennie the Recruiter she informed me and quickly came up with a excuse that there was no work for me available at this time there's no one that needs care in the area or Region which was alarming to me I ask if there was a problem with my zoom interview they did not like something or I did not qualified their needs as a worker I dont appreciate the lack of poor communication and ghosting me and wasted my entire time , what ever reasons or outcome they both had I decided in moving on to apply else where I don't think is professional to do this to people that have bills to pay I'm sure they feel very comfortable repeatedly doing this to applicants I like to put this out there because there's no reason for this to be happening to me or other people if a applicant does not qualify for a job they should explain the reasons they were not fit for the job not come up with the most ironic pathetic excuses as there is no work now they will get back to me read more

Tandem Care - Home Health Care Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I was extremely pleased with the service provided me. I was delighted with the people they sent to me, particularly Monique, who once she learned the routine was able to tend to things herself without my supervision. I intend to use them in the future and would highly recommend them. Tandem has been a fantastic help in tending to my health needs. Carol W. read more

Tandem Care was the perfect introduction to care-giving for my fiercely independent friend who is losing his mind and his language to dementia. His Tandem Care "assistants" have been respectful of his desire to keep doing things for himself and understanding of his need to take things slowly. As his abilities have deteriorated, we were able to increase the frequency of his Tandem Care visits to help him get his day started. Getting a weekly report of the visits from Tandem Care made it possible for me to address issues around his house that would have otherwise gone unnoticed by my friend. Tandem Care has been a great help during a challenging time. read more

i have been receiving care from Tandem since October 2002. My usual caregiver is Kirianne who is outstanding in patience, efficiency and intellect. She is a fantastic asset to the company. I am also pleased with Christina. she is also patient and efficient. I've had her for 4 visits and am greatly satisfied with her care. It is because of their care that I have avoided falls and suffered less pain in my hands due to severe neuropathy. Tandem caregivers are expected to ensure client satisfaction. I believe they are trained with that goal in mind. Tandem is the best selection to take care of my caregiving needs. read more

This place is good as far as flexibility. But if you stop using their service for whatever reason, then choose to re-start their service again, THEY WILL NOT CALL YOU BACK NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU CALL AND/OR TEXT THEM BACK for help. The VA cannot care of my dad because he is still independent, & not bed ridden, but he still needs someone to drive him on his grocery store runs. DOREEN- chief executive 'something' wont call me back NOR WILL BREE CASTILLO. I have been calling and leaving messages for both of them in these last 2 months to try and reactivate my 92 year old dads' senior care here in our home. I noticed they only post good reviews for themselves. Look how spread apart the dates/years are in their reviews. Well I hope they don't take this one down. People need to know the truth. Up until 2 days ago, I spoke with their receptionist, and explained the above , in this post, to her. She relayed to message. Still, no one has reached out to me. June 25, 2023.

From connecting with Bree to onboarding with Jessica to scheduling and follow ups with Phylicia, Tandem Care made a great first impression only to be followed up by stellar caretakers. Dulce is Mom's favorite but Dulce also introduced her colleagues and set Mom at ease. Tandem Care is a great design for our needs as Mom rehabilitates from a fall with a concussion that has affected her short term memory. Having two scheduled visits with highly qualified caregivers has kept my sister and me at ease with peace of mind knowing she is healing at home. read more

Although we were only with TandemCare for a relatively brief time, but I was very happy with their care for my mother.

I loved working with this agency they accommodated me very well. All the staff members are very nice and Professional. Very pleasant to work with. Thank you to Jennie W. read more

How do you maintain a true level of respect for this place if your HR Director schedules appointments that she doesn't have the decency to keep or call to cancel? YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SENT THE INVITE. It's okay to switch up, but to have someone set aside time for you is completely unprofessional if you don't plan to host the meeting. She didn't respond to email or phone call as a reminder. The call went to voice mail and a message was left. By the way, she was dry and late for the 1st meeting without an apology or explanation (a red flag) from the beginning. The HR Director is the wrong person to represent you, unless you hired a family member as a favor. This person needs a high-level of adequate HR training. Who really has time for this type of behavior? read more

I think Tandem is terrific. All their help is stellar, and never have a problem. I would reccomend them to all seniors who need a little or a great deal of assistance. Nothing but praise. Thank you, Bob Blisten read more

The caregivers were all great and the communication was too which took a lot of pressure off of me.

I am totally delighted with the service I receive from this agency. They provided an amazing aide who is reliable, capable, affable and skilled. I couldn't be more pleased. read more

THE BEST! Thank you Bree and Justin for all your help... I called Tandem care planning and had immediate care for my mom after her knee surgery. I even called on a Sunday to finalize the planning , 24/7 how wonderful is that when in a time of such need. Unfortunately there is not much help with our elderly loved ones once released from the hospital or assisted care facilities. But with Tandem care they understand, care and work 24/7 to help with your needs. I'm so grateful and my mom got the care she needed. I appreciate you all and especially the caretakers. This takes a special person and tandem care makes sure it happens. Ever so grateful to you all, Stephanie M read more

I met with Bree in November of 2022 regarding assistance for my Aunt who has Parkinson's Disease and needed assistance with daily chores and daily living skills including showering and dressing in her apartment. I have worked with other caregiving companies before and the quality of the caregivers from Tandem is above and beyond most other companies in LA. The Tandem caregivers are very well trained, patient and compassionate and attuned to all my aunt's needs. Also, the caregivers were able to adjust to my aunt's changing needs for more assistance in the home and did so with compassion and care. The Operations team including Zylandia and Doreen are also wonderful. Our family has been very pleased that Tandem can provide two hours of care in the mornings and two hours of care in the afternoon, a flexibility few if any caregiving companies in LA are able to offer. My only issue with Tandem is that any visit over two hours at a time has to be booked a week in advance although on two occasions, they did make an exception and took my aunt to both an MD appointment and Urgent Care. Overall, I have had a very good experience with Tandem and I would highly recommend them to a friend or family member. read more

I enrolled my mother in Tandem's monthly membership program and I can't say enough on how amazing this program is!! Our experience with caregiving in the past was less than ideal. Very expensive, there were hourly minimum requirements that were difficult to fit with her needs and all the caregivers we dealt with were rude and I felt they spent a lot of their day sitting on their phones which was frustrating with how much we were paying. My mom was very tentative at first but Tandem's caregivers were so kind and attentive, she very quickly became attached. My mind is at ease knowing she is being checked on throughout the day and she feels more independent rather than feeling like she's being babysat. This program has been life changing for me and my family and I HIGHLY recommend to anyone who is looking for a flexible and affordable caregiving option! read more

It's not often I take time to write reviews. It's got to be a really good or a really bad situation for me to want to put words on 'paper' that will directly affect the bottom line of a business or service. In the case of Tandem Careplanning, I'm very happy to say this was not only an extremely positive experience (I dared not say amazing or awesome because we're dealing with heavy subjects here but if appropriate I would have), but one that stands in a class all it's own. Tandem Careplanning came to me when searching for end of life care for a very dear friend. I found them on Yelp, although I truly believe they found me. It started with a very warm welcome from Natalie, who paid close attention to my story, my friend's story, and the crazy kind of set up we were looking to accomplish, while trying to kidnap him out of this horrific long term care facility he was trapped in. Everything of course being extremely difficult to navigate because of the Covid-19 pandemic. I was then contacted by Maureen, another very warm woman, who just knew all the right questions to ask and made me feel very at ease for what I know to be a very stressful situation. She tells me 'I got you.' And ya know what, I believed her. Maureen did not disappoint. She put her thinking cap on and brought in another head of a care giving team to partner with in this search to build the perfect hybrid situation my friend so desperately needed. This other person Maureen brought in contacted me and again was extremely warm, caring, and knowledgeable. She also said something so poignant -- that in this business she always deals with everyone trying to cut themselves into the deal, force you to use certain care givers, lock down their commissions, etc. But this woman said Maureen was different. She said Maureen was willing to forego any commissions or compensation whatsoever just to make sure my friend got what he needed without sparing or substituting anything. Maureen said if her team or part of it would be good then great. If not, she demanded my friend get the best of what he needed even if it meant cutting her out completely. Well Maureen sure was right. And this new member of the team brought others in that were able to navigate all the obstacles. Each day, I got to update my friend letting him know these angels in his outfield were working night and day to get him home and cared for in a loving way. These updates ushered in new hope, bringing a smile to his longing face (even if it was only through FaceTime that I could see him as no visits were allowed during the pandemic). Maureen made sure I was constantly updated and always kept everyone connected and in the loop. Again for someone who has dealt with this kind of thing many many times for loved ones and friends in the past, it's always some degree of nightmare dealing with the caregiving situation. I mean some nightmares are less stressful than others, but they're still nightmares. Dealing with Tandem was unlike anyone in this business I've ever dealt with. They are truly special. And they are built with folks who know how broken the system is and want to do anything to help fix it. The unfortunate ending to this story is my friend never made it home. After all the work Tandem and their partners did to prepare, it was all for not. Which just broke my heart. My friend's health took a quick turn and he was gone before we knew it. I called Tandem and insisted I be billed for their time and efforts, even though I never even got to use their amazing caregivers. I did of course utilize their incredible knowledge and services to get to the point we got to. They told me no services were rendered, therefore no bill would be coming. I told them they're crazy. Time is a service rendered. Effort is a service rendered. Knowledge is a service rendered. Actual love and true care are services rendered. But that's not how they feel about it. They feel these are everyday human traits we should all give to one another. And they know that energy will ultimately lead to more healing, and more success for everyone. Folks let me tell you something if you haven't already heard me. These people are special. And be it for yourself or for your loved ones, you could not be in better hands. read more

I am so grateful to Tandem Careplanning for their patience and ability to arrange help for my aged mother. Their caregivers are top notch and reliable. Natalie, who helped me tremendously with the details of setting up my Mo's care was the best! I will use Tandem's care in the future! read more

Hi. My name is Bonnie and I'm a caregiver with Tandem careplanning. I was hired in December 2019 and I am very impressed by how this company treats their employees and how they do business. They follow all the current labor laws which protects both clients and employees and the care coordinators really go above and beyond to ensure a successful outcome for both clients and employees. I would not hesitate to use Tandem for my family should the need ever arise. They are very knowledgeable and caring and I highly recommend them! read more

I rarely write YELP reviews but was drawn to doing this one because of the outstanding service we've received from Tandem. My 87 year old father, who has Alzheimers disease, was hospitalized for COVID in December of 2020. When he was release from the hospital, we needed full time caregivers at his assisted living facility because he was a fall risk and was very ill. I started with another agency which was great, but over the top expensive. When I saw the costs mounting, I needed another alternative, but was worried the quality of care would go down. My friend recommended me to Tandem, I called over the weekend and they were immediately responsive and so very kind. They heard what we needed, found two beyond wonderful caregivers and we started right away. I absolutely love our caregivers now and feel like they go above and beyond to make my father not only safe but very very happy. Working with this agency has been an absolute pleasure and whenever I need to ask a question or tweak something, they are so available and kind. I will always use Tandem for whatever our future needs are with my father and couldn't recommend them more!! read more

I so appreciate Caregivers Direct! They not only listen to their clients, they listen to us; their caregivers! I had several different clients, all of whom I liked however, they just weren't a "right" fit for me. I am now in a home where I'm also appreciated! She thanks me every day for my assistance! Thank you to each and every one of you! read more

This was my first experience with a caregiving service. In the beginning it was honestly a fairly bumpy run. However once we found a good match for my husband, it has been a pleasure to work with the team. Weekly I receive statements for the previous weeks work and am satisfied with the assistance from the office whenever there is a problem. read more

I'm a healthy, active, 30-something recovering from back surgery. With family and friends working during the week, it was hard for me to manage on my own the first few days post-op. I was reluctant to find a caregiver since I assumed most companies only catered to seniors, but when I talked to the staff at CaregiversDirect, they were so friendly and walked me through the entire process. Their site allows you to pick your own caregiver. Their caregivers all have detailed profiles and are easy to get in touch with. I highly recommend their services! read more

The CaregiversDirect Team is amazing! Could not be happier with my experience with them. I had a ton of questions and they were super responsive and helpful. I felt like they really cared about whether or not we find the right person. It's been so different from my family's experience with caregiving agencies. read more

As a caregiver, my experience with CaregiversDirect has been awesome. Being busy with other things that comes life, I like the fact that this agency is very flexible with schedule and compensation rates, as well as the staff team being so kind and helpful when needed. Having experience in the field working with other agencies, I couldn't ask for a better company to work with so I'd definitely recommend them to my own family. read more

We've found a caregiver for my grandpa through CaregiversDirect.com to help him remember his medication, take him on his errands, and even do light cleaning around the house. It's such a load off to know that someone capable is looking after him. The CaregiversDirect matching platform was really easy to use - and gave us the choice of many different caregivers to hire. Highly recommended! read more
