The dry air, mild winters, and very warm summers give Napa a microclimate that is ideal for seniors and the famed wineries of Napa Valley. The small city is home to approximately 78,000 people, with 16.6% being in the 65+ range. Although best known for its wine, the area is also a mecca for golfers, hosting the PGA Tour Safeway Open every fall. For food lovers, there are numerous restaurants, including some awarded Michelin stars.
The health of Napa’s older residents is in good hands. The city is home to the well-regarded Providence Queen of the Valley Medical Center and numerous in-home services. Figures published in the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey reveal the average cost of home care and home health care in the city to be $6,292. These figures are above the averages costs for home care and home health care in the U.S., where the typical American pays $4,481 and $4,576, respectively. However, when comparing costs, it’s worth remembering that the average cost of living in each state can vary.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Napa 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.

I am a client of Kindred at Home and I’ve been using them on and off. The people are very good at companionship as well as their other duties. They have to stay up all night because I wake up a couple of times, like at 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Scheduling and billing are very good. I’m very satisfied. The caregivers are all very gentle, kind, and very helpful. If I give a holler, they’re there in a second. I would recommend them without hesitation.

I am a past client of Always Best Care from Feb 2017. My ABC care coordinator was Sierra Washington in Vacaville. She did an excellent job. She’s very experienced and professional. The only problem I had with ABC was the fact that they only had one home care person in my area (Rio Vista), Maria, who did a great job when she was here. Unfortunately, her schedule was very limited. Hopefully, ABC has found additional home care people in the meantime.

My husband used Honor Home Care. Services include companionship, meal preparation, and supervision of pills. I had many different caregivers. Some of them were superb, some of them were not particularly willing or able to engage with my husband. That worked OK when I was working away from home, but when I was working in the home, I found it distressing. There was somebody there with him, but it wasn’t really what I wanted to have done. There were others who were superb at getting him laughing, getting him out walking with them, and engaging with him over meals. One of the reasons I stopped Honor was, in the time of COVID, it seemed as though I had to choose between something that was stable, so that I wasn’t introduced to a new caregiver three or four times a week, or the quality care that I appreciated so much.
I would recommend Honor Home Care. The person I recommended it to has been extremely happy with it. There are a couple of things about Honor’s system that are fantastic. A couple of times a caregiver became ill or a family crisis emerged and they had to leave, and Honor got another caregiver there immediately before the person left. If a caregiver couldn’t come in, they always had a substitute. I got a report every day on how the interaction had gone. I’d give them five-stars even though I was unhappy with them at the end because the COVID has made everything so difficult. That’s where the problem really emerged, and they didn’t have any control over that. Before COVID, it was definitely five-stars, and I’ll leave it there.

Napa 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 Napa:
Address: 1301 Clay Street, North Tower, Room 1400, Oakland, CA, 94612
Phone Number: (800) 827-1000
U.S. military veterans can apply for this benefit, which is in addition to the VA pension.

ESA is a free program for low-income residents of Napa whose homes are unprepared for changes in weather and contributing towards their excessive energy use and costs. The service can include insulating parts of the home, such as attics, walls, and basements, and repairing or replacing malfunctioning refrigerators and furnaces with energy-efficient equivalents. To be eligible, seniors must meet income guidelines. For households of 1-2 people, this is a maximum of $34.480 annually.

The card can’t be used to pay delivery fees, although both online stores provide free delivery on grocery purchases of $35 or more.
Address: 433 Soscol Avenue, #100, Napa, CA, 94559
Phone Number: (707) 224-8885

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.
