Encino is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, CA. Out of the city’s nearly 4 million residents, more than 481,000 are seniors aged 65 and older. According to research performed by the Los Angeles Times, more than 44,000 people live in Encino where the concentration of seniors is one of the highest in the entire county.
Whether it’s to admire the thousands of blooming Pink Cloud cherry blossom trees during the spring, play and watch sports such as golf, baseball and cricket or just to enjoy an afternoon picnic by the water, Encino’s Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area has something to attract seniors of all interests. The picturesque Pacific coastline and the heart of Hollywood with its numerous entertainment attractions are also just a short drive away.
For either homemaker or home health aide services, Encino’s seniors can expect to pay around $5,243 a month, over 19% more than what seniors pay on average across the country, but consistent with the area’s overall cost of living.
Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Encino, so data for the closest city, Los Angeles, was used.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Encino 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.

Based on these great reviews, I took a chance with this company. One of the most difficult decisions I have ever made was using this type of service for my mom, who has rapidly fallen to poor health.
I called and spoke to the director and discussed my mom’s situation, namely that she has become very weak and frail, and that she tends to fall more frequently. She also lives alone and has become very depressed.
The very next day Dr. Fox arranged for a meeting with myself, my sister and mom. He even brought along & introduced a home care aid Marilou who was a total doll! During our first few days he wanted to be sure there was a good "connection" with my mom, and that we were all satisfied and happy so far.
My mom was literally holding hands with the caregiver the next day. She has already taken our mom for walks outside the house, drives her to her doctors appointments, and they watch Netflix movies together! She’s even a very good cook and prepares Filipino dishes.
We could not be happier with Perfect Fit home services. Clearly the owners are totally empathetic, they really do care about their clients and families.
This is a class-act business and I could not thank or recommend them enough!

My family couldn’t have been happier with the service our mother received from Amazing Tender Love Home Care Agency. Although we started services to accommodate live in care giving/home companionship for our mother after our father passed away, our mother was diagnosed with cancer ~6 months after our care started. Having the support of their team soon became critically important for my entire family. They were always there to check on us as a family and keep us well informed, as well as take wonderful care of our beloved mother. My mother adored her Caregivers, and they were family to all of us. Having them with us supporting our entire family as my mother’s health deteriorated, was such a blessing. Even though our mother has been gone for 3 years now, they still stay in touch with us, sharing memories, and sending us well wishes on special occasions. Being surrounded with such love and devotion was far beyond what we were hoping for and my family will never forget it.

Encino Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more.

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 – often times 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.
