Fresno is surrounded by 1.88 million acres of prime farmland in the San Joaquin Valley. It’s within a 90-minute drive of three national parks and has a cost of living that’s 2.6% lower than the national average, which is ideal for seniors looking for affordability and beautiful scenery. The city’s diverse arts and culture scenes have something for everyone whether its Shakespeare, live events or the abundance of museums. With a population of more than 531,000, 10.9% of whom are 65 years or older, Fresno is California’s fifth-largest city.
There are many home health care programs serving the community’s older residents. The Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2019 found that the average cost of homemaker services was higher than the national average of $4,290 at $4,862, while home health aide services, at $4,862, were also higher than the national average of $4,385. Fresno seniors can take advantage of health care services provided by Community Medical Centers, a nonprofit that operates four hospitals, a cancer institute and several long-term care and outpatient facilities across the city.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Fresno 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.

We needed care for my father, who had had a fall and spent 3 months in hospital and skilled nursing. We weren’t exactly sure how much time he would need or what services would/could be provided. Shirene, who was fantastic, met with us and went over all options. We decided on starting with 16 hours a day, as he needed quite of bit of care while he was up and awake. Over time, his needs would change so Shirene, and the rest of the staff, continually worked with us while we adjusted his schedule. He is now having caregivers come three mornings a week. The caregivers are always on time, so helpful, and delightful to have around. We could not be happier with the staff, both the help in the home, and those in the office. My dad has had every need met with care and respect. The office staff has been available for conversation and advice every time we have reached out. I am very impressed with EVERLIGHT and would highly recommend them.

We used Around the Clock Home Care, but it wasn’t the same person each time so I had to keep training someone every day. I could never get away like how I’m supposed to be. They helped bathe my husband and transfer him to and from his wheelchair. We have them for around 2 months. The ladies are nice in their office but their scheduling sucked. One of the caregivers we had from them was a man, but most of them were very inexperienced. I had one leave in the middle of the shift because she said my cat is making her sick.

They said they could provide the 24 hours post-knee surgery I needed. They sent someone out to assess and decided, 5 days before my surgery, that my house smelled like cat and ratted out. Totally pulled the rug out from under me.
I had done a careful cleaning beforehand. Yes, I have cats and don’t notice the smell. They could at LEAST have warned me that it was a possibility, before dashing my hopes. If I cannot find a replacement company I’ll have to cancel my needed surgery. Too bad that I have to give them even ONE star.

Initial communication with Tonya, the principal of this agency, was positive. We hired them and paid a deposit equal to the value of 2 weeks of services. The selected caretaker worked one day and decided it was not a good fit. Tonya attempted to find a suitable replacement, but after a month or more went but, we needed a caretaker and so we hired someone else.
We requested the balance of our deposit to be returned. That was about 3 months ago.
Understandably times have been hard for many this past year or so. We offered help, in that they could pay back the deposit in payments, if cash flow was an issue. Thought we came to an agreement, but have yet to see a penny of our deposit returned, no returned calls, texts or emails.
The lack of respectful communication and professional integrity is unacceptable.

Carefully read. My father who is 92 and has an onset of dementia was being "helped" by Seniors Helpers.
Their ads on their site say how careful they are with their helpers going into a patient’s home and they wear masks. An absolute lie.
Here is what their under trained "help" have done to "help" my dad.
My dad takes a lot of medication which is to be administered at certain times and in certain delivery methods.
I found out the aides were crushing all his medicine together and giving them to him all at once in a spoon. That could have killed him, period.
None of the aides wore masks not ever. When I asked an aide to wear a mask when she comes into my dad’s home she left and never came back. I called the case manager at the Senior helpers and the secretary told me to call the VA. The case managers did not want to come to the phone. I called the day before because the aides were not cleaning at all. I came back from overseas on business to my dad’s home after an aide just left and his toilet had crap caked all over it not cleaned for weeks. Floors were thick with grease and dirt. The rug was never vacuumed probably for months. I called the case manager and she said all their aides had to do was a light dusting, run a vacuum and wipe down counters. That’s it! The case manager informed me that my dad’s place was filthy and had to be deep cleaned. That’s interesting before I left for overseas I had a real professional come in and clean my dad’s apartment. His place became filthy because the aides without any real supervision didn’t do a dam thing. They don’t wear masks and they don’t wash their hands after I observed them through my cameras. There is no supervision of their help. It appears they think I am the problem the managers were ridiculously unprofessional! They don’t check their help background some had criminal records and one lady keeps coming around and asking my dad for money. This was after she was fired a year ago! Their so-called help reports everything including private phone conversations to social services and other government agencies. I know this because I found paperwork left by an aide! I can prove every bit of this as a R.N has observed the same issues in other homes. Senior Helper is an absolute disaster! This isn’t the end of it

Fresno 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. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Fresno:
Address: 4991 E. McKinley Ave., Suite 123, Fresno, CA 93727
Phone Number: (559) 237-4102
This nonprofit service uses the skills of volunteer construction and home repair workers to assists seniors in and around Fresno. It offers low-cost solutions for homeowners whose properties need general repairs, such as fixing broken rails and ramps, defective HVAC systems or damaged roofs. Additionally, Habitat for Humanity offers affordable construction services for those who need to make their homes more accessible. Seniors can also apply for sponsored and nonsponsored support through the program.
Address: 1900 Mariposa St., Suite 260, Fresno, CA 93721
Phone Number: (559) 263-1588
The California Weatherization Assistance Program is available to homeowners and renters whose annual household income before taxes is less than 60% of the state median. For example, a two-person household would need an income of $36,044 or less before taxes to qualify. The program’s services include insulating exterior walls, ceilings and roofs, replacing refrigerators and cooling systems and sealing gaps in the home’s doors and windows.
Address: 1900 Mariposa St., Suite 260, Fresno, CA 93721
Phone Number: (559) 263-1588
Seniors in Fresno can take advantage of the Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission’s meal delivery services. There are two plans to choose from: the basic plan supplies one main meal every day for $32 per week, and the basic-plus option provides a main meal and a breakfast every day for $48 per week. All food is freshly prepared and delivered in divided trays. Menu items include three-cheese ravioli, mixed vegetables and muffins.
Address: Hall of Records, 2281 Tulare St., Room 201, Fresno, CA 93721
Phone Number: (559) 600-3534
Homeowners can apply for an exemption on their property tax if it’s their main residence and isn’t a rental, vacation or second home. Applicants who qualify get a reduction of $7,000 on the value of their homes, which generates an approximate savings of $70 a year on their tax bills.
Address: 1371 Stanislaus St., Fresno, CA 93706
Phone Number: (559) 263-8300
Qualifying residents can receive one payment per program per year from LIHEAP, a federally funded program designed to help low-income households with their energy bills. For example, a home with two occupants whose combined monthly income is $3,003.67 or less could qualify. Other factors can influence the assessors’ decision, so it’s worth contacting the Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission to determine eligibility.
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.
