Hear From Our Senior Families

As the Community Director of Priya Living – Warm Springs in Fremont, I have spent the past ten years overseeing our independent senior living community and working closely with many senior caregiving organizations in the area. During that time, I have had the opportunity to evaluate numerous providers, and I can say without hesitation that Carenami is the only caregiving organization I consistently recommend to our residents and their families.

I am incredibly grateful for Carenami and for Barnan's leadership. Barnan possesses a rare level of empathy and compassion, and he personally trains his caregiving staff to reflect his values of respect, dignity, and genuine human connection in every interaction. That commitment is evident in the quality of care Carenami's team provides.

Carenami's approach is culturally relevant, highly personalized, and exceptionally responsive to each client's unique needs. Whether seniors need companionship, transportation, meal preparation, housekeeping, or more specialized support, the caregivers consistently provide thoughtful, compassionate, and professional care.

Most importantly, the feedback from residents and families has been overwhelmingly positive, and the level of trust Carenami has earned within our community is remarkable.

If I could give Carenami 10 stars instead of 5, I would. Their dedication to serving seniors with empathy, respect, flexibility, and excellence sets them apart from every other caregiving provider I have encountered. I wholeheartedly recommend Carenami to any family seeking outstanding care for a loved one.

After my husband Paul suffered a stroke, we needed someone we could trust to help care for him. He was having frequent nightmares and needed a lot of support, especially at night. We started with overnight care from Carenami and eventually increased it to 16 hours a day. Throughout that time, the caregivers were wonderful. They were always on time, incredibly compassionate, patient, and genuinely caring toward Paul. They treated him with kindness and dignity, and I could see how much their presence helped him. Over time, Paul began to get better, and I truly believe the care he received made a difference in his recovery. I'm very grateful to the entire Carenami team for everything they did for our family.

When my mother was discharged from a skilled nursing facility, we needed someone who could step in and provide the care she needed at home. Carenami arranged for a caregiver to support her for eight hours every day. Unfortunately, my mother passed away just ten days after we started care. Although our time with Carenami was brief, having someone there to help care for her during those final days meant a great deal to our family. I'm grateful that we were able to have that support when we needed it most.

I started Carenami because I am the primary caregiver for my 85-year-old father. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find reliable help for someone you love. When I was looking for care, I found that most agencies expected families to work around their schedules and minimum hours, rather than understanding what we actually needed. Even then, there was little clarity about who would be walking through our door. I knew there had to be a better way.

So I built the company I wished existed for my own family: one that offers flexible care, with trusted, vetted caregivers and real people you can reach when you need them. Caring for someone you love is already hard enough. Finding the right help shouldn't be.
