"I had a recent outpatient procedure at PAMF in Mt. View scheduled for 4 p.m. on Monday, July 3rd which many consider part of the long weekend. Due to that factor, my usual local transport was unavailable and others too far away. I was searching online and came across CSC home care. I am so happy that I did! I was pleasantly surprised with how many services they actually do offer outside of transport and know many others who might need one of their many services. Once I contacted them, I was quickly given an estimate which was very reasonable and was sent a contract online. I explained a few concerns and was put at ease right away by Natalie who was very caring and quick to answer any questions I had. The contract was easy to complete, and I was sent confirmation that everything was in place, and they don't charge until following the transport. I was contacted regarding the completed contract and any specific instructions and then received a call the day before my event to confirm everything was ready. Natalie and Destiny arrived right on time and had me at the location with time to spare. They gave me a card with contact info to put on the admittance form. When I was released, they were right there ready to get me safely home and offered any further assistance I might need if I wasn't feeling well. They are lovely, caring people. I found the entire event from the initial contact to them waving goodbye to me once I was safely at the door as one of the highest service provided. Most importantly, they care about you as a patient and a person. I know I will be using them again in the future and will recommend them to anyone who might have a need for one of their many services. They are wonderful! "

"We have just started using 1Heart Caregiver Services - Campbell Campbell, CA. They're great. When we called the agency, they listened to what we wanted and quickly followed up. We had an in-home visit with the girl who runs it. She came out with one of the client managers who helped with the scheduling. They came out and talked to my mom to get a clear picture of what she wanted. Then they matched her with the first caregiver, whom my mom loved. She was very outgoing and was attentive to my mother. She looked for things to do and did everything. She chatted quite a bit and communicated with my mom. Sometimes we'll get caregivers from other agencies that just sort of sit there and don't do anything, don't say anything, and you have to keep prodding them, but this one did a great job, and my mom is thrilled with her. They're going to be covering every weekend, both Saturday and Sunday. They do some housekeeping and cook breakfast on the weekends. The caregiver cleaned the bathroom and helped with some personal care for my mother. She helps her bathe and take a shower. She did some laundry, too. Then, she is her companion. My mother had a nice time. They're very easy to communicate with. We text if we have any questions or whatnot. Yesterday, we discussed the dates of who was coming for every weekend. We got the names, and everything has been summarized and scheduled."

"We had an excellent service with Gentiva Personal Care. We called them on a Sunday afternoon and asked for a caregiver for my spouce with very little notice. They were able to assist us and bring us someone the following morning. The caretaker was the perfect choice for our needs. Calm, caring, clean, she took great care of my wife for several weeks. And on the weekends we had a second person since we needed help 7 days a week. We will very likely need home care services again in the future and Gentiva will be our first choice. Thank you for taking such a good care of my wife."

"My parents are using FirstLight Home Care Silicon Valley. They've helped us on and off for the last month. They've been great and very flexible in terms of timing and working with my parents. They've been very good. They're providing transportation services and some limited care services at this point. The caregiver has been really helpful and good. They come about once a week and as needed, and the billing and the scheduling have been fine. The fact is that with most in-home care services, the caregivers come regularly, and I appreciate that FirstLight has been flexible with my parents' schedule."

" We have, my wife Bonnie and I, been contracted to Essential Care since August 2020, are ongoing clients, and are very satisfied with the services received. Any problems with cover have been rapidly resolved and all the Caregivers have been kind, considerate and efficient. We are Seniors each with our own health issues, and had experienced care from previous Agencies which did not come up to our desired standards. This is not the case with Donna and her staff who have our complete trust. Peter Ashurst MD, FRCP.” Regards Peter and Bonnie "

"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"

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 |
---|---|---|---|

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.
