Testimonials

"My family has worked with Ranelle and Dignified Hope Care for many years. Assisted living is a journey with many steps along the way, and sometimes, you need a little extra help: from assistance in one's own home during temporary setbacks, to care in the hospital and post-hospital setting, to covering gaps and emergencies once your loved one is in an assisted living facility, and beyond. Throughout that journey, Ranelle and Dignified Hope Care have been that extra help when we've really needed it; they've responded immediately, brought the highest level of care and professionalism, and have always treated my family with respect and compassion. This high level of service is exactly why facilities are already recommending Ranelle before we can even make the call.

When tough situations like this arise, between the decisions and emotions involved, there are a million things to deal with, and Ranelle has always been there to take *a lot* off our plate so that we can do what we need to do."

My sisters, I, and our families would like to express our wholehearted thanks for the loving care your company gave our Mom. You have been with her for most of the last two years and during that time you went from being caregivers to being part of our extended family.” “She told me years ago that she would never want to move in with one of us. So, you filled the need and she was able to keep her independence. And you did a better job than any of us could have because of your experience and medical knowledge.” “We all wish you the best in the future! Please stay in touch and feel free to use me as a reference, if needed.

Dear Ranelle and Staff:

We were overwhelmed at the outpouring of support in so many different ways. We are so thankful for your care and guidance during Howard’s illness. We could not have imagined the job until we were in it! Your contribution to Hospice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.

I cannot say enough in praise of my caretaker, Ranelle. She is efficient and anticipates every need. She is knowledgeable about my conditions and needs, gentle and careful with everything.” “She is also a wonderful companion; one of the most interesting persons. I have had the pleasure of knowing in all my ninety years. Caretakers tend to be among the angels on earth, and Ranelle stands out even among that wonderful group.

Dear Ranelle,

Thank you so much for all the wonderful care of Frances as her life was ending. With your help we were able to have her pass quietly in her sleep at home. She was happy to be going because she told us her Ruben (her deceased husband) was coming to pick her up. Thank you too for all the invaluable information, you made everything so much easier, and frankly made things possible.
— Sincerely, David & Laurie Cantu’ / Avila Beach, Ca
 
Dear Ranelle and Company-

Thank you for everything you did for my father and our family. You are very good at what you do. It must be really hard for you at times, yet you don’t express that with your efforts. Please thank your staff. They were all very nice, kind, and competent. We are sad and miss him, but we will keep it together as a family.
— Thank you again - Steve Wyatt / San Luis Obispo, Ca
