I highly recommend AmeriCare for anyone who is looking for, and is in need of a caring and knowledgeable agency that will provide the best care possible for a loved one in need of help in their home. Through AmeriCare, and the caregivers they provided, I was able to have my mother continue to live in her home, safe in the knowledge that she would have a person at her side that will help her in all her needs. The staff was wonderful, and they became good friends and companions to my mother. I am pleased to give AmeriCare a five star rating.

Donna did a wonderful job keeping my sister covered 24 hours a day. We were very pleased with our caregivers.
About AmeriCare
FROM AMERICARE
AmeriCare of the East Bay is dedicated to providing affordable and quality in-home care as an alternative to assisted living. Most people would rather stay in their own home and having a little (or a lot) of assistance with day-to-day activities allows seniors or disabled adults the ability to remain home, in their own surroundings and in the place they feel the most comfortable.
We have been helping clients in the East Bay since 2005 and are part of a franchise and locally owned and operated.
With AmeriCare, you can rest assured you or your loved one is getting the care they need by caregivers with a desire to help and a love for the work.

CAREGIVERS
Our caregivers must have at least two years of hands-on experience if personal care is required. We have a personalized screening system and verify legal work status, state certifications, check references and run a criminal background as well as a driving record check.
There is an in-depth interview and face-to-face meeting with the caregiver to become familiar with them and their personality to better allow us to place them properly.
In addition to the above, we encourage our clients and family members to interview a few different caregivers and to select the one that they feel the most comfortable with. Once the caregiver is selected, they will not be pulled away for other assignments.
All caregivers are covered under our insurance, including criminal bond and if employee-based are covered under workers comp. Ongoing training is provided.
