I had a fall in my home and ended up in a rehab center where I met Ginny Arroyo from Home Helpers. From there, Ginny set me up with caregivers to assist me at home. She has helped me through the whole process (even with my LTC insurance) and has been a saving grace. Without her, I’d be lost. My Home Helper aids are Jennifer W. and Rosie A. Both have gone beyond the call of duty. They are attentive, consistent, work without much direction, and are kind. Most of all they truly care.

Response from the owner · 2 months ago

Mary, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Home Helpers Home Care. We’re so grateful that Ginny helped coordinate your transition from rehabilitation to dependable in-home care, including assistance with your long-term care insurance. We’re also proud to hear that Jennifer and Rosie consistently provide attentive, compassionate senior care and go above and beyond to help you remain safe and comfortable at home. It is truly an honor to serve seniors and families throughout Ventura County and the San Fernando Valley! 💚💚💚

Home helpers has been so thorough. I enjoy working with Ginny as she is meticulous in handling the placement and services for my mom. She answered all my questions and alleviated my concerns. She was helpful with VA benefits and really knows and understands both from my mom’s perspective and mine.

Every single person that we have interacted with with Home Helpers has been 100% professional but also 100% kind and compassionate and caring and bend over backwards to help in any way possible. They really truly care about your loved one and treat them as if they are their own family member. We have had the same caretaker for a year, Carol Ball, she really treats my parents as if they are her own family member. She is very proactive in addressing needs of my parents and is excellent at communicating with the rest of the family. She is very loving and great at helping around the house and running errands. Could not recommend this company more!

First rate. It's not easy to find home care help on short notice, with agencies that do not handle the insurance, unknown helpers, etc. I am grateful to the agency that referred me to Home Helpers. I am especially grateful for the perfect aide with whom we were paired. MJ has been a blessing. She's handled the care of my husband's recovery taking over the aspects that I didn't want. She cooks, launders and cleans. I walk into a well-run household. Oh gosh! I am going to miss her!

Response from the owner · 8 months ago

Brenda, Thank you so much for this heartfelt review. We know how stressful it can be to find reliable in-home care on short notice, and we’re truly grateful you were connected to Home Helpers Home Care when you needed support most. We’re especially happy to hear how much MJ has meant to you and your husband during his recovery. It’s wonderful to know she stepped in with the kind of compassionate, dependable help that makes day-to-day life feel manageable again—supporting with meals, laundry, housekeeping, and the many details that keep a household running smoothly. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with MJ—she’ll be touched to know she made such a difference. Thank you again for trusting Home Helpers with your family’s care, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can ever support you again in the future.
