The Silicon Valley community of Mountain View is home to a senior community that accounts for 11% of its estimated 81,000 residents. Despite the city’s relatively young population, it offers a wealth of benefits and amenities for older adults, including public transportation services, low crime violent and property rates and high access to affordable health care. El Camino Hospital’s Mountain View Campus is located on the city’s south side, promoting access to medical services, and numerous home care agencies meet seniors’ nonmedical care needs. These agencies administer services such as personal care, meal preparation and housekeeping and charge monthly rates of approximately $6,864. For seniors who need light medical care and monitoring at home, home health care may be more suitable.
Below we've compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Mountain View area – complete with services offered and reviews from families who've actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we've compiled resources to help seniors and their families to access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help to pay for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
