READ MOREThe 2020 U.S. Census found that 21.5% of Moraga’s almost 17,000 residents are in the 65 and over age group, which is significantly more than the 16.5% U.S. average. Home care agencies abound in the town, typically charging fees of $6,864 for non-medical services, which is high by state and national standards. Home health care costs are a bit more because it focuses on delivering medical support at home. For those in need of greater levels of care, Moraga doesn’t have a major medical facility, but seniors need only travel 20 minutes west to Oakland to find well-respected facilities, such as Highland Hospital and Oakland Medical Center.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Moraga 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 for paying 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.
