The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in San Diego, CA for 2025

"The lady from Interim Healthcare of La Jolla was wonderful. She provided a lot of information. She brought up concerns that I didn't even think we had. And she brought in ideas on what to do and recommended different places where we could get payment for more hours for them like veterans care and some other stuff. So, she'd been very, very helpful. And she calls and checks up on the service. She was very committed and followed up a lot. My father loves the caregiver. He had a great time with her. Every time I call, the caregiver answers the phone. If there's a question about something, she answers the phone or if I have a scheduling issue that I have to take care of, she answers the phone. If there's something that comes up with the caregiver, the lady from the agency is immediately on it. When the caregiver was sick or she didn't want to get my father sick, she called. She called the staff from the agency and me and texted me. And then the staff immediately said, so I can get this person out, take care of you and she had backup right behind it. So, there was no gap in care time at all that I had to make up for. So very efficient on that one. And, the caregiver's replacement was great, attentive and she filled in right to the spot. She takes him for a walk every day. She gives him a shower, sets him for bed, makes him dinner, and works on memory skills with him. He's getting PT and OT that she has to do every night, and I'm doing it with him during the day, and she's taking care of certain ones. And so good companionship to have, and some light housekeeping making sure everything is cleaned up and put away."

"Lisa is great! She bathes, transports, assists in walking, bathing, walks the dog and many more activities. I am so fortunate to have her."

"I'm new at this & very pressured to find the right type of care that my Dad needs. So An employee from Senior helpers contacted me through a phone call or email. Sorry I can't recall. The thing is that I've been calling around, getting different places calling me & I've called places for more info but this guy D....was so sensitive for me not respectfully calling him back to confirm an appt visit. When I made the appt I had a date & time set up while the very next day they needed to reschedule to a different day. It was 2 wks in advance. So I went to the appt at my Dad's & nobody showed up. I called & left a msg asking when they we're going to make it today to the appt. They told me that the appt was at a later date & texted me later to confirm that latter date. So I said "No thank you & no need to reschedule". Here comes the date of that latter date. This time the lady that showed up was not getting an answer at my dad's house & I'm glad he didn't answer or even hear the doorbell because he was out back in the backyard. So she called me & said nobody is answering the door & I said because I never confirmed that date for the appt. I actually said just like I mentioned earlier that "I didn't want to reschedule". So that lady that went to my dad's was told that I confirmed but clearly missed the "no need to reschedule" message. D.... then called me soon after this missed appt & left me a rude voicemail & the exact same rude message to my email. He was scolding me that I confirmed that appt, it was very disrespectful to nit call him back, that I was the reason for the lady using up her gas driving all the way over there (BY THE WAY, IT WAS IN THE SAME CITY'S it wasn't that out of her way either. More like 10 mins drive)& her valuable time & travel to go all the way out there wasting her time. He sounded like he took the misunderstanding so personal. I was blown away to get his rude email & voicemail of him going off on me. He was really upset. So obviously I never called him back because he was already pissed off at me & telling me off. I don't need to explain myself after his rude attitude. Who would want to call back someone after that kind of treatment to a potential new client?! Not me! So be careful, walk on eggshells & be polite & respectful because if u get this guy D....& you're already looking at a few other places with the phone calls & emails with info. I was busy. There could have been some type of accident with me or my dad & he didn even ask me what happened remember I said "No need to reschedule...". I just couldn't believe his immature & ignorant messages he left me. He needs to work on his customer service or GET FIRED. I'm already stressing about finding a place for my dad etc. Don't call this place Senior helpers. He just made the whole company look bad & I'll never contact them again about anything. That was a mouthful but I'm only writing this review so nobody else gets caught up in a reasonable misunderstanding like I had & was blamed for it. Thanks, C......"

"I've been using AbideCare for two weeks now. They're young and efficient, and so far, they've been pretty good. The first one came in one day for four hours. The next week, I had someone for three days for four hours. They are here basically to help me. I had a knee replacement, and I'm crippled, but I can still drive because my good leg was not operated on. They help me in and out of the car and up and down the steps. When I go shopping, they help get my walker out of the car. AbideCare came out and visited me here, and I liked them very much."

"We only use Partners In Home Care once or twice a week. They do a very good job. They're very personable. We interviewed five companies and most of them were corporations. This company was more personable and down-to-earth."

"Senior Helpers of San Diego North is helping with my mom, changing her clothes, helping her in the toilet, helping her into her pajamas, reminding her about brushing her teeth, and helping her with her walk or those kinds of things. It's just a couple of hours each day. They are very kind and very patient. They seem well-trained because they speak slowly and loudly. They are aware that my parents cannot hear them.

"We are working with Homewatch Caregivers for my dad. It is generally positive. For the most part, they have been pretty receptive to our needs. My dad has unfortunately been in and out of the hospital, so we haven't needed them at times, but they're flexible about rescheduling. That is a positive aspect of the services they are providing. The caregivers themselves, according to my mom, have been very helpful. It has been pretty good. They provide basic caregiving and they help around the house. At one time they also helped with taking my dad to appointments."
