Testimonials

I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the most dedicated, caring and hard-working people at A1 Care. The staff are friendly and will do their best to accommodate their client’s needs. I really like that you are treated like family and that means their employees, clients, doctors, nurses, and pretty much anyone they come in contact with are treated with respect. I would highly recommend A1 Care if you need assistance with in-home care or residential care facility placements for your elderly loved ones.

A1 Care has been a godsend for my family and me. We were referred to A1 through Kaiser in January 2014, for my 83-year-old father who needed some care and support after he fell in his apartment. From the beginning, Minda listened patiently and worked proactively to make sure that we would find a compatible Caregiver for my father. The Caregiver, Miguel, that she assigned to him speaks Spanish (my dad’s native tongue) and has become like a family member in the short time that we have known him. Luana, another A1 Care team member, was there for me on the weekend and on short notice to provide an assessment of my father’s condition. As a full-time working mom, I very much appreciated her willingness to meet me in such a timely way. There is a sincere feeling of warmth and care that this agency and its workers exude with their clients. Miguel and A1 Care have been prompt in their callbacks, flexible with their hours, professional in their service, and reasonable with their pricing. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you, A1 Care!

We used A1 Care for my father, who was in an in-home hospice program through sutter health. All of our Caregivers (especially Pui, Pou and Sue) were wonderfully loving and thoughtful. They’re very experienced and patient with elderly patients and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. A1 made caring for my terminally ill father as gracefully simple as possible. Thank you, A1. Your team is wonderful.

My friend hired A1 when she had cancer and their tender and thoughtful care was amazing. I would like to thank Cathy and Jima for all they did to help our friend CL to the very end. They made a huge difference. Cathy was so amazing with CL as things got really difficult during her final days. She was very flexible with all of us coming and going, the dog, the people, everything. Thank you again SO MUCH. They are priceless. Angels on earth.

Hiring home care for a loved one is never easy. After trying several numbers for highly recommended Caregivers, my Mom went to the top of the list and called A1 Care. The woman who answered the phone, Pou, was on the way to the airport and rescheduled her flight to meet with my mom. My Grandmother’s cancer was unexpected and too far gone to treat. She was given 6 weeks when she was discharged from the hospital and only lived 9 days at home before she left us. Lisa, Siu, and Donna, went above and beyond anything we could have ever expected. Not only did they show extreme care for my very ill Grandmother, but they made my Grandfather feel as comfortable as he could have been in this very trying time. My grandparents had been married for 59 years and simple tasks like using the washing machine were foreign to him. These ladies helped him navigate life without her. They convinced him to find strength and solace in others, and made my Grandma comfortable enough to decide it was time. These people have a very difficult job, and never once made us feel like a burden. They are beautiful souls and will make sad times a little easier.

A1 has truly helped me in a bind when I was feeling lost and hopeless. My mom had returned from an extended vacation visiting her family in her home country. She returned sick and confused. She was diagnosed with dementia in 2009 but had been doing well enough up until she had returned. I immediately had her seen by her primary doctor and the news was grim. Her dementia had progressed and now needed 24 [hour] care. This is where A1 saved me. I took time off of work and called several agencies that were recommended. From the get-go, A1 was one of the few agencies that actually called me back! They listened to my needs and within days had recommendations of two Caregivers that fulfilled my needs. The Caregivers came over for a quick interview and we have been using them ever since.

Now, my mom is a handful but our caregivers have managed to keep her safe and they have been so very patient and kind to her. I have been so lucky that in a bind, they have stepped in and have accommodated my work schedule which can be chaotic since I do shift work. They have been able to help me out when last-minute meetings have come up with my kid’s school or when I just need an afternoon off. Our Case Manager is always accessible and it has been wonderful to be able to go to work and know that my mother is cared for. Thank you so much, A1 for everything!

I am so glad I called you. From the minute I talked to Pou to the last breath my mom took, Sui, Lisa and Donna were there every step of the way. After the diagnosis of cancer and spending 2 weeks in the hospital my mom wanted to come home. You ladies made sure my mom was comfortable and my dad had everything he needed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I have worked at A1 Care for over 10 years. One of the reasons why I still work at A1 Care is because of the people who run the company. From Tupou to Luana to Kersha. They are very nice, approachable, very considerate, easy to talk to and they advocate for us when we need support.

They care about everyone from their clients to their employees. I’m happy working at A1 Care and I’m forever thankful that I have the best company to work with.
