I would like to thank Caregiver Services for their patience and understanding as we went through the process of trying out different caregivers. Caregiver Services tried hard to find the right caregivers for us and never lost patience. My mother is now 91 and, with the help of Maria and Arcy, is happy and content living in her own home. We have no hesitation in recommending Caregiver Services and would be willing to talk to anyone who would like more information.I would like to thank Caregiver Services for their patience and understanding as we went through the process of trying out different caregivers.

For the past three years, my Mom, who has Alzheimer’s, has had the same extraordinary people from Caregiver Services taking care of her. They treat my Mom with so much respect and compassion, that we’ve dubbed them our “angels.” Caregiver Services has truly given me and my sister’s complete peace of mind with respect to our Mother’s overall care. And that’s a priceless gift! We’ve recommended them to several friends and family members who are also receiving ideal care for their loved ones. Thank you Ana, for everything you do for my Mom. Warmly,
Me, my wife Freida, and my family would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional care and service that I have received from the Caregiver Services thru Rand – including Albert, Andy, Ramone, Jack and others that are not only my medical caregivers but also my friends and companions. They continue to make my quality of life possible through their attention, skill and caring. They are exceptional individuals and people. Thank you
I’ve been alright with the company. They always do what’s right and do what they’re doing.
All the girls are great! They are just really great and I love them all and I couldn’t be without them. They are just super, super, super people. That’s all I can say. I literally rely on them for my life.
We are so fortunate that Emily is the caregiver for my father, Leonard. Emily’s been the primary caregiver for my father for almost 4 years, starting just after my mother passed away. Emily always provides my dad with competent, gentle, and loving care , and because of her, my wife and I rest easy at night knowing that my father is getting the very best care possible. Emily keeps my dad active, she encourages him, at age 95, to continue to walk, to continue to go activities, and she always makes sure he makes it to the weekly happy hour at the assisted care facility. Having watched the gentle way she helps him to get up and to get in and out of cars, and the way she tends to his medical needs, I know it isn’t just a job for Emily. She truly has a loving and compassionate heart.…
I am very happy with the way Ruel Morales showed professionalism and patience in handling the start of our care for my Aunt. My Aunt is very pleased as well. For 2 years I tried getting help and care for her but with no success. Again, I am so happy for Ruel’s best efforts.
Thank you all for the job assignment! I am grateful and very fortunate to find a work partner in the person of Jenny, who is a very professional and work-oriented person. A partner like her is very rare.
Thank you for the beautiful arrangement of white flowers that you sent in honor of my mom, Maria. Thank you also for the sympathy card signed by many of the staff that personally worked with my family. It was so thoughtful of all of you to remember us at this time. I also want to thank you for the caregivers you referred to us, especially Yolanda and Maura, both of whom cared for my mom as if she were their own mother. I am so grateful for them and other caregivers who received them during the holidays and vacations. It gave our family peace of mind knowing that your agency was there to help us with my mom’s care. May all of you be blessed for the work that you do everyday. Gratefully,
Thank you! Ramon is a terrific caregiver, very thoughtful and thorough.
Whenever Cay is available, I would also like to have her. She was very thorough and it was great communicating with someone who was attentive and involved in actually getting the information with the doctor and nurses…I need caregivers who are like Cay. Thank you.
He’s the best. He’s been real helpful and he anticipates everything so I never have to…I never have a worry. He’s good, the greatest!
Caregiver Services provided full-time care for an elderly (97) man for a year and ten months until his death. We had tried three other agencies and about ten other caregivers before we were referred to Caregiver Services. From the beginning of our association we were struck with the quality of the caregivers we provided and their flexibility in providing for the needs of their client. We were impressed by their attention to their staff – ensuring that they had the training and tools they needed and were comfortable in the situation. Caregiver Services provided the primary caregiver. The client’s grandson provided care two or three days per week. In the rare event that either of these individuals was unavailable, California Medical Resources supplied an excellent substitute, even once using someone from another agency. The care provided included dressing, bathing, toiling, preparing meals, taking the client out for “walks” in his…
Anna Villahermosa was the Supervising CNA in charge of providing the caregivers for my father, Jerry from October, 2006-December 1, 2007. She selected the nurse’s assistants who delivered 24 hour care. In addition to being the supervisor, Ana was also a provider for my father. One of the caregivers she chose was Ana Regular. It is difficult for me to put into words the superb care and assistance they both gave to my father. They treated him with such dignity, as if he was their own father. They gave him his medicine, they kept in constant contact with our family, provided excellent living conditions, advocated for his every single need, and loved him. There was never a moment when our family felt my father was not receiving everything possible to make him comfortable and happy as possible. My father was suffering from end stage Parkinson’s disease which required the best…
We are very happy with the caregivers from your service. We are impressed with the training and attention to detail. My uncle is so happy and well taken care of. It is a relief to know I can trust Caregiver Services with the care of my loved one.
