"The agency has always been responsive and quickly matched our caregiver. She has been our only caregiver to date. We would not want to change. She is a fit for my mom. My mom is now doing things she hasn’t been able too for a really long time. Highly recommend CSC. "

"Gentiva has made all the difference in the world in caring for my father. His caregiver, Denise, and account manager, Poonam, have been instrumental in meeting his needs. My Dad is a 100% disabled military veteran and his care is overseen by the VA. Both agencies have been a blessing in his life for their contributions to his wellbeing. He is 86 and lives alone at home by choice. His skill set in terms of self care and meal prep is greatly diminished. There is no doubt that he would be in an assisted living facility if not for Gentiva. Denise is there on time, every day and works her rear end off to ensure my Dad’s needs are met. Poonam is always available anytime I need to speak to her and makes house visits to ensure that my Dad is content. Our family is grateful, and very satisfied with their service. Highly recommended!"

"Right at home provided truly caring caregiver for my mother. The caregiver was always on time, really hard working and cheerful! She took my mom for doctor's appointments, did errands and helped her a lot around the house! She even did some gardening with my mom. She went above and beyond to make her happy! I already recommended RAH to our friends and neighbors! "

"We were extremely pleased with the Senior Helpers team. My father could be quite difficult, often refusing to even let his helper for the day in upon arrival, but the various caregivers persisted, communicated with us about his behavior and what they felt he needed, and were able to keep him safe, fed, and happy at home for 7 months before he moved into assisted living. Once there, one of the team members continued to see him weekly to look after his personal needs and take him for social outings, to help keep him from feeling trapped, lonely, or depressed, as well as taking him to doctor appointments, and she did so with genuine care, compassion, and kindness, advocating for him, and regularly communicated with me about what she felt he needed so that I could facilitate that. We recommend them highly, and thank them for everything they've done to help my father and us through this challenging period."

"Home Instead cost higher than the other agency. We only had them for two months. Also unlike the agency we have now, it was not that easy to terminate Home Instead's service with us; we had to give them a month's notice. Sometimes you don't have that. Nevertheless, the caregiver we had from them was very good. She also seemed to be very willing to work. Unlike the caregiver that my mother has now, this one wasn't talking on the phone a lot. The only thing though is that she was very young and we didn't know how much experience she had. However, she was very strong and had energy. She was also kind to my mother. My mother in turn liked her. "

"Firstlight Homecare was very professional. My experiences with the caregivers and staff has been so much better than some of the agencies I have dealt with in the past. Truly compassionate, skilled, and friendly! They were very quick to find a last minute caregiver for my mom. The last caregiver from another agency did not show up and we had nowhere to turn. When I contacted FirstLight, the staff was very understanding and quick to act. They came to the house accompanied with a caregiver and introduced the caregiver to us. They are truly great people. "

"We were in a tough situation and needed caregivers for my dad on very short notice. He needed pretty involved care since he had later stage Parkinsons. Their team was able to work with all of our requests and matched us with a caregiver in less than a day. The caregiver even had great advice for us when we were looking for different treatments for his sore. We would highly recommend Polaris to anyone in need of a caregiver"

"I used Starlight Caregivers for 24-hour care toward the end of my father's life. The same devoted caregivers showed up regularly and were good at communicating with him as well as with me. They arrived on time, kept careful records, and enjoyed my father's company as much as he enjoyed theirs. The agency was very good at sharing information with me. I have recommended Starlight Caregivers to friends and would be very happy to turn to them again should the need arise."

"Over two years ago I was in need of immediate home care for my Auntie who had fallen and broke her arm. I had interviewed several agencies while she was in a nursing facility but once we met with Gulraj, I knew Right at Home was going to be our choice. Meeting him in person with my Aunt while she was still in the nursing facility, I never felt so relieved about how she would be cared for. She was suppose to be in the facility for another week so I had plenty of time to get things organized and set up the house as needed. But Auntie threw me a curb ball , the next day she decided she was not staying there any longer and signed herself out. I had less than 24 hours to arrange her in-home 24-hour care. Once I was informed of this challenge, I called Gulraj immediately and he assured me not to worry he would get coverage which meant 2 people full time. What a relief! I can't say enough wonderful things about the Right at Home staff especially Gulraj! Gulraj and his staff treat you like family and the care they have provided my Auntie is testimony of the loving care they provide. Gulraj and Nicole both of you always stayed on top of my Auntie's needs and keeping me well informed, communications were always superb. I want to shout out to her caregivers who truly provided the best care for her and the love and compassion they provided! To Kay and Seebee THANK YOU SO MUCH for the top notch care you provided. Auntie referred to you two ladies as her Dream Team! I called them Auntie's Angels!!!!"

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local 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 Los Gatos:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farewell to Falls Program | (650) 724-9369 | 300 Pasteur Dr., Stanford, CA 94305 | This program run by the Stanford University Trauma Center provides free training in fall prevention to seniors 65 years or older living independently in Santa Clara or San Mateo Counties.

The Critical Repair Program repairs problems with the roof, heating, plumbing and electrical system and other issues that might make a home uninhabitable.

Meals are provided at no cost, with a suggested $3 donation, and may be able to accommodate special diets. Low-income seniors who are registered with SNP may also qualify for transportation assistance in the form of monthly bus passes, gas cards or subsidized paratransit rides. |
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.


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.
