With 274,492 residents, including 33,200 seniors, Chula Vista is one of the largest cities in Southern California. This thriving community is a smart choice for seniors who want to enjoy art, culture, recreation and entertainment while aging in place. Named for its beautiful views, the community inspires locals and travelers with its miles of scenic coastline. Local attractions include the OnStage Playhouse and the Living Coast Discovery Center on San Diego Bay. The area is also known for its sunny climate that makes it possible for retirees to enjoy outdoor activities year-round.
There are numerous home care programs available to help Chula Vista seniors age in place safely and successfully. Seniors who need assistance to remain living independently can expect to pay $5,716 for either in-home care or home health care services, according to Genworth Financial’s 2020 Cost of Care Survey. This is well above the national averages of $4,481 for homemaker and $4,576 for home health aide services.
Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Chula Vista, so data for the closest city, San Diego, was used.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Chula Vista area – complete with types of care provided, services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help seniors and their families access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
