"We've gotten help from ResCare HomeCare in San Luis Obispo. They found us a caregiver right away on the same day. The manager is really wonderful. We have several caregivers since we need help several hours a day, and they're really amazing. I think that Robert does a really good job and is always on top of everything. For what they do, I think the price is fair."

"I recently found myself caring for my aging mom, It was unexpected and fast, I was frightened and nervous, I found Sunshine In-Home Care one night at 2 in the morning after a hard day and night of struggling with my own thoughts of what I should do with my mom after I return to work. I called Sunshine in home care early the next day I was nervous and did not know what to ask, as I was thinking to hang up the phone call, an angel came on the other line. She was soft spoken and the love exhumed from her words, needless to say she put me at ease right away, I was able to talk to her like a sister she listened to me with out interrupting, when I was done she helped me understand what kind of care my mom would need. I absolutely recommend giving them a call it was life changing. I receive the sweetest Emails from them just wondering how we are doing,I now sleep better and care for my mom with patience and understanding knowing we will be in good hands with Sunshine In-Home Care. I will be using there services soon and will be able to return to work calm because my mom will be safe and loved. Thank You Sunshine In-Home Care for the piece of mind you brought to my life. "

Home health care is significantly higher than assisted living, which runs $5,300, but it allows seniors to remain in their homes.
