Cerna Homecare

Cerna Homecare has been such a blessing for me. My husband is full care, and Catalina was wonderful to find the right caregivers for Steve. Steve’s caregivers are so great! Sammi tends to all of Steve’s needs so I can work. He feels like part of my family! My weekend care giver Josefina is wonderful too. I highly recommend their agency to anyone who is in need of assistance with their loved ones. You are in good hands with Cerna! Thank you for everything you are doing for us.

I would highly recommend Cerna. Everyone is fantastic. Always so helpful and patient even when our care needs for our elderly friend Artie changes daily and at the last minute. Catalina does everything she can to fulfill our needs. The care givers are sensitive to changes in Arties behavior and notify me of these changes and their concerns. They all help to make a very stressful time easier on our family. Rania is an outstanding caregiver.
Thank you all at Cerna for helping to keep Artie in his home. Cerna takes a proactive approach to cognitive care and exercises. Their caregivers implement special stimulation tools and techniques to help the brain hold on to cognition and thrive.
Catalina is the Cerna Oc care coordinator. Because of her leadership Cerna OC works with and supports many charitable causes including the Alzheimer’s Association of Orange County.
Thanks again Catalina.

Laila — has done so much to assist us in caring for our Mother. As a lot of you know this is a scary time in your life. We have been taken care of by our parents and now we have to find the best care for them. Laila works with us to ensure we are getting the best care for my Mom and her condition. She has give us top notch team members that help us recognize and suggest things we can do for my Mom… I should have written this months ago but got busy… Cerna it tops in my book …

I work for a Hospice provider and use Cerna for caregivers and nurses and nurse aides. They are always available and respond quickly. Their staff are very endearing, professional and efficient. I would highly recommend this company.

I have personally worked with Cerna Homecare for many years and have found them to be professional and extremely caring, not to mention very accommodating to the families that I refer to them. The OC rep Catalina Elwell is beyond amazing and will go OVER AND ABOVE to make sure every family has their needs met. They also provide transportation and case management which sets them apart from other agencies.

After my mother was diagnosed with cancer, we met with Laila Shanedling, the outreach manager, who took down my mother’s specific needs and wants and matched up several caregivers who exceeded our expectations and became quite dear to my mother and I. They were professional, thorough and empathetic. They really came through in our time of need.

When my mother was first with Cerna, they did everything to help her. She was a difficult case in that she was not sleeping and she was quite agitated. Then one of the senior managers swooped in and in less than 30 days, fixed the problem. By getting her to a better neurologist, he facilitated change in her medication. As a result her sleep and anxiety significantly improved. She became a functioning individual who began enjoying life again.
She now attends exercise classes and is involved in other programs which Cerna helps her take part in. I do not know what I would do without the help of the Cerna staff.
They are not into labels and they never say that my mother has Alzheimers. They tell me my mom is doing better or she is having a bit more difficulty. Then they come up with a game plan. That is what makes them unique. My family is happy with them and I personally am very thankful for having met Nick Payzant and his team.

I was referred to this company by my neighbor who used them for their mom. I can’t say enough how pleased I’ve been! The whole process was smooth from beginning to end. The caregiver they sent to care for my mom was just perfect. I needed someone to drive my mom to her favorite places, doctor visits, take her for walks, and most importantly I needed a spanish speaking person. Maria was the caregiver and they became instant friends. Perfect match! Also, I can always reach someone if i need to add more days or hours to her care or if I have any questions. I am so relieved that I found them and highly recommend this company. Very caring, attentive and professional staff. Two thumbs up! Cindy

Chose this company to care for my mother who can’t walk and my father who just had hip surgery for a broken hip and was in a wheelchair as well. They FORGOT to send a caregiver out when scheduled and left my mother at home helpless until I could come to her aid. We did utilize two different caregivers from this agency and they acted like they didn’t know what to do and I had to show them how to transfer my mother from wheelchair to toilet. Also the caregivers sent out were unsure of themselves and just sat in a chair doing puzzles or looking at their phone the whole time. Do NOT use this company if you care about your loved one.
