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.

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.

Rachelle, her family, and her caregiving team took good care of my Dad for 8 months in Rachelle's…read moreHome II. Every time I came to visit my Dad I found Rachelle's home to be clean, swept and mopped, my Dad clean, well dressed and in good spirits. His room was always clean and orderly and all of his medication management was in good order. One time I came to pick up my Dad for a medical appointment and it had been pouring rain, the streets were muddy and there was a huge utility truck stuck on the street blocking the path to Rachelles Home. I parked the car on the side of the street to get out and come to get my Dad and here I see coming, in the pouring rain, Rachelle's husband and another caregiver wheeling my Dad over to me at the car holding an umbrella over him shielding him from the rain the whole way. They assisted me in getting him into the car and my Dad and I were off and away to his appointment. It was such an amazing sight and now an indelible memory in my mind. A few months later my Dad suffered from yet another stroke and was brought to the SJ Regional Stroke Center and then to Capitola Skilled Nursing for Rehabilitation. I had already decided that I wanted to bring my Dad home to care for him in his last years of life here on earth so I asked Rachelle if she'd support me in that and indeed she did. She set up a care and health account book for me, told me what to buy for his room and sent out her very own family and caregivers to care for my Dad those first two weeks. I came to Rachelle's Home to pick up my Dad's extremely heavy double size hospital medical bed which was no easy feat, however, Rachels right hand man Dex readily and diligently helped my son and I move it out on a dolly and load it up on the truck. We brought it over to my house and Dex helped us set it up for my Dad. This was such a blessing to me and I was so ever so grateful for his help! Now in regards to the care that my Dad first received from Rachelle's family and caregivers when he came home I have such good memories; Rachelle's son in law to be and administrator came at 6:30am every morning with an amazing attitude opening all the blinds up to let the sunshine in and all the mean while singing merrily while he prepared my Dad for the morning; He had an excellent spirit and I will always remember this. On another occasion, in these first two weeks of coming home from the skilled nursing, my Dad had a terrific case of loose bowels due to transitioning from a common nutritional formula to an organic one and Rachelle's son, whom was caring for my Dad and whose care my Dad appreciated very much, operated out of sheer grace in managing this outflow situation by humorously crying "It's a river! It won't stop!" He called for help at Rachelle's Home and in a short amount of time Rachelle's husband arrived to the rescue with help and aid. Rachelle, her family and her caregivers are humble and compassionate; They have always been there for my Dad and and I will always appreciate everything they have done for us!

The intake process was made all the more easy due to its kind, welcoming, and professional staff. The counselor (MD) I met with was thorough and truly caring. The dosing nurses are great, and the front office staff are kind, friendly, professional, and if you don't mind me saying... all QUITE BEAUTIFUL which makes the daily, early morning visit that much more pleasant. Having a drug dependency/addiction is no fun. MMT clinics are all required to follow strict protocol, and have strict rules patients must abide by - this clinic is no different in that aspect, but the atmosphere of the clinic and the attitude of the staff and patients is very positive here, which really matters, A LOT ! My only criticism is the high intake fee - and the higher than avg monthly cost which, if not for the staff, would have me looking elsewhere.

She does lots of errands for us including shopping for groceries, driving the patient to the doctor, going to the pharmacy, taking her patient for a short walk or wheel chair ride in one of our lovely parks. Around home she takes care of bed making and laundry and some minor indoor and outdoor chores. She is also here midday so prepares lunch as well. She is very efficient and is always on time and completes her tasks in time to be sociable and friendly with her patient. As a result, the patient likes her caregiver very much. Prior to this caregiver, we had another who was just as lovely and caring and efficient. We have loved them both and would recommend them highly for any caregiver or other job. In addition , we can't say enough about Visiting Angels and its staff. They screen and train their caregivers well and are very cooperative and understanding if there has to be a change of schedule.

I was somewhat concerned when I saw that a year previously it had transitioned from local ownership to a larger company. However, when I toured the facility, I made a point of asking multiple non-management employees who had been there before and after the transition what impact the sale of the facility had had on their workplace. The answers were consistently positive. Furthermore, when I toured the facility, I was impressed both by how bright and clean it was, and by the layout, which is coming off of a single straight corridor, as opposed to a maze of twisting confusing hallways. straight corridor, as opposed to a maze of twisting confusing hallways.

Within a week of her admission all of the staff knew and her by name every time they saw her. When she entered the facility, my wife was really unable to stand or use her walker due to the combination of her cognitive impairment, and the rapid loss of strength in the hospital. Due to the consistent therapy that she has received five days a week she's back to was before her hospitalization. Additionally, I have learned some new techniques that will help to keep both her and my back safe in the home. Communication with the director of therapy was constant and excellent Finally, I cannot say enough about the CNA's responsible for much of the daily contact with her. They were uniformly helpful and cheerful, and if the one assigned to her on a given day was busy one of the others was always willing to pitch in and help with whatever was needed. I cannot count the times that I was asked what else they could do for us. Of course, any elderly or impaired patient does better when they have someone in the family advocating for them, and I did that. However, in a facility with less accessible administration, I doubt that that would've had nearly the same impact..

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.
