Phil Chandler, Owner
Phil has fond memories growing up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Every Sunday his paternal grandmother (we called her “Grandmarie”) would visit after church for lunch and we would catch up on the activities of the week. She had a delightful sense of humor, telling the family the latest spicy joke she recently heard. When Phil was in college, she began to have medical challenges, and ultimately developed severe cognitive impairment. In those days we called it Senile Dementia and not Alzheimer’s Disease, but that is probably what it was. Phil’s Mom became her primary caregiver, and he saw firsthand the effort and stress that family caregivers go through. When Grandmarie passed away she didn’t recognize any of her family and wasn’t able to feed or bathe herself. This foundational experience molded Phil’s view of elder care and the impact it has upon the family. He carries this experience with him as he performs assessments and hires and manages caregivers. He feels that this business is a calling, and strives to provide the best care to all Right at Home clients.
This is why he is so passionate to provide care to families experiencing Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias.
As a former Certified Senior Advisor, Phil seeks to empower and better the senior community in Ventura County. Certified Senior Advisors have a broad-based knowledge of the health, social and financial issues that are important to seniors, and the dynamics of how these factors work together in seniors’ lives.
Phil has worked in engineering management positions in Ventura County for the last 25 years. He holds advanced degrees in engineering and business.
Phil understands the desire of seniors to remain independent in their homes. His desire is to offer an affordable, high-quality solution to those that need care in their home. Additionally, he wants to give the family peace of mind that their loved one is being taken care of appropriately with respect and compassion.
The Ventura County Office of Right at Home is a locally owned and operated franchise office of Right at Home, Inc., a senior home care and staffing company providing care since 1995.

Christina Ramirez
Caregiver of the Month
Christina Ramirez has been a caregiver for over a decade and has worked for 6 years at Right at Home- Ventura County. She came back to caregiving after starting a family with twin girls and a young son. The children take up much of her time with slumber parties, play dates with other Mom friends and playing on the monkey bars at East Park in The Collection.
Thrifty’s Chocolate Chip ice cream is Christina’s favorite as she watches her favorite football team the New England Patriots. She doesn’t watch as much though, since Tom Brady left for Tampa Bay and the Buccaneers.
Christina loves being a caregiver because she "can engage with clients and listen to the stories that they tell." She is able to learn about all parts of the world, from the east coast of the USA to Germany and beyond. Christina's favorite story was of a client from the mid-west, who followed her military husband to Hawaii as a newlywed.
Christina feels that the "personal connections are the most satisfying part of the job. Just as long as the elderly have a safe reliable person to keep them on track and get them to where they need to be. I'm happy."
