Stories of Healing & Growth

Elizabeth See-Tho

"Flexible, versatile, and truly caring"

"In the time that Sabrina has been a part of our family, we have benefited and appreciated these attributes as a constant in her work. From the simpler days of meal prep and appointments to the most challenging days of end-of-life care, Sabrina always brings great energy, determination, and her years of experience to do her best for everyone involved. She works proactively and is a great advocate for our family when it comes to their needs being met. On many occasions, I have cheered as Sabrina spoke up forcefully to ensure my parents got the attention they needed and deserved..."(continues)

"...we have found a gem."

"...She does this not only because it is the right thing, but because she genuinely cares about their wellbeing. She is highly self-motivated and independent, but also ready to work together with other caregivers when the need arises. As my father’s health declined, Sabrina worked in sync with the hospice team, giving my father that constancy of care from someone who knew him and his preferences well. Flexible, versatile, and truly caring might seem like natural requirements for this line of work, but we know they are not a given. We know that in Sabrina we have found a gem."

"Life-changing care"

"I used the services of S&J Homecare for over a year when my father's Alzheimer's became more severe, and my mother had early signs of Dementia and could not care for him or herself.  S&J was extremely professional and respected my privacy and requests, was communicative regarding their needs, and did a great job accommodating my scheduling requests.  My parents were difficult patients, and it was a very hard time in my life, and I don't know what I would have done without Sabrina's guidance...(continues)

"well trained and equipped"

...Her staff was well trained and equipped to handle everything my complicated dynamic entailed.  Sabrina genuinely cares about her clients and has a very strong work ethic, and her personality and skill set is very well suited for the company she has built.  I have experience working with other caregiving providers (through the VA and another entity that helped with my grandmother), and none have compared to S&J.  I would highly recommend their services."

"...diamond-star businesses...S&J is one..."

"Sabrina and her team were phenomenal with the recent passing of my mom. My mom had just entered hospice and what we thought would be a few weeks, turned into one, until her passing. Prior to S&J we used another widely known elderly caregiving service but soon discovered their forte stopped at conversation and errands. My mom needed real professional hands-on help. The hospice organization suggested S&J for the more involved type of help my mom needed (end of life). (continues)

"...The hospice organization suggested S&J for the more involved type of help my mom needed (end of life)..."

"...Sabrina herself came to check on things and kindly but informatively explained what my sister and I could expect. That knowledge was invaluable in us being able to be at our mom's side in full support. Often diamond-star businesses don't advertise a lot with websites, brochures and such. It's word of mouth and S&J is one of those."

"...S&J is the only at home licensed company I will use for my loved ones..."

"As a resident and native of Carmel, S&J is the only at home licensed company I will use for my loved ones. Unfortunately my family has needed services for family members with severe cognitive and physical limitations requiring 24 care, and other loved ones with basic geriatric needs. Keeping my loved ones at home is the most important thing and Sabrina the owner, will go above and beyond for my family. From medication to fall prevention, to personal hygiene needs, again Sabrina allows the family to have a break and maintain their own personal lives, which is CRITICAL when you have loved ones that require extreme care."

"It's incredible what Sabrina has done with at home care..."

"Sabrina allows family to have time together, while she navigates the care that often becomes the focal point, when indeed it should be a time to cherish.
It's incredible what Sabrina has done with at home care and offering the best services. I have seen both sides. Nursing homes and, "at home care". Pretty horrific what can go on at assisted living places. We the healthy people who facilitate this care will never truly know what it is like to have your dignity stripped away and not be able to brush your teeth or feed yourself, and to be at home is everything for the patient. Thank you Sabrina and team. I would also add that anyone on the fence should contact Sabrina to have a chat about at/in home care. :)"

"...you will not be disappointed..."

"My husband and I have had the great fortune of hiring S&J Homecare to care for us after my husband had double knee replacements and I had a full rotator cuff shoulder repair. The day I got home from my surgery Celena was right there for me when I got home from the hospital. I have been spoiled by her friendliness, caring, attention to detail, sense of humor and flexibility while we
have not been able to do things around our house and outside tasks. She has helped us maintain our household needs and tasks that we couldn't do. We were referred to her by a good friend and am so happy we have received the best care we could have ever asked for. If you ever are in need of short term or long term care you will not be disappointed."

"...She was intelligent and careful and kind..."

"I cannot recommend S&J Homecare highly enough. I had to use their services on very short notice recently for a friend on Hospice care, and the caregiver they sent was absolutely wonderful. She did two 12-hour overnight shifts, and she did a beautiful job. She was intelligent and careful and kind, and she was even able to get my friend to eat something, which we had been unable to do. The quality of care was excellent, and I was very impressed by the owner's professionalism. This is a remarkable agency."

"...way to go for peace of mind and genuine care for your family."

"I highly recommend S&J Home Care. I have known Sabrina for 15 years. Originally Sabrina was in child care and she literally helped raise our young son. I consider her family. She is extremely caring, reliable, and trustworthy. Currently my 94 year old grandmother is receiving care from a large home care organization. If my grandmother lived closer we would definitely be using Sabrina for my grandma's care. Sabrina sets the bar very high and there is no one I would trust more with any of our family members. S&J, as a private care provider, goes above and beyond what large home care providers off er in terms of services, care giver qualifications, and better pricing. Hiring Sabrina and her team is the way to go for peace of mind and genuine care for your family."

Grand Daughter

"...very communicative, honest, open..."

"I echo other reviews on this page --- words cannot express how wonderful John and his team at S&J Homecare are. When I first contacted S&J, even though I could tell John was busy, he took the time to provide initial information and schedule a quick follow up call 30 min later. We spoke and I explained the 24 hour care my grandmother was going to require. John was very communicative, honest, open, and let me know all of our options and costs. (Nothing hidden). When John arrived at my grandmother's condo, she met my Mom. My mother was so grateful and blown away at John's professionalism, gentle demeanor, friendliness and availability..." (continues)

Grand Daughter

"...John sat with my mom for over an hour..."

"John sat with my mom for over an hour as they spoke about the situation, and got to know each other. My grandmother arrived and S&J took over. My grandmother was hesitant at first to trust anyone (which is understandable as she had been in the hospital for over three months) but within TWO HOURS she felt like she had found a friend and loved one. My grandmother cried on the phone with me as she explained how happy she was that people could be so kind, caring and helpful. He have been with my grandmother for about 3 weeks now, and she loves him. She is so pleased she gushes about them every time she speaks to someone from the family." (continues)

"...Thank you SO much John and S&J team. We are so very grateful to you, and recommend you with "1000" stars if we could. Thank you, thank you, thank you!PS: I realize I neglected to post what the service provides: they provide essentially all care needs. They help my grandmother with bathing, toileting, sleeping, cooking, cleaning and lite chores. We are so grateful. Thanks!"

"... I felt comfortable with her.   They met my highest expectations..."

"The owner of the company, Sabrina, and her entire family worked for my 90 year old mother for about 9 months and we had an amazing experience with them.   From the first moment i met Sabrina I felt comfortable with her.   They met my highest expectations in terms of being dependable and patient with her (she has dementia) and they really developed a great relationship with her.  My mom needed companionship, someone to chat and joke around with as much as she needed care taking and medication management."

"...a tremendous relief to know that I found this friendly, caring homecare group to take care of her when I was so far away..."

"...They were able to add more hours to our original schedule, as she needed more care.  Whenever I was concerned about her I could contact them and get my concern resolved with their help.  I live in Los Angeles, and it was a tremendous relief to know that I found this friendly, caring homecare group to take care of her when I was so far away.  I highly recommend this company!"

"...She was compassionate, professional and is a true advocate for her patients..."

"We used Sabrina and S& J Homecare for help with my mother in law. She was compassionate, professional and is a true advocate for her patients. She shows kindness and respect. I would definitely recommend her and her company to anyone who needs a caregiver and wants to make sure their loved one is well taken care of."
