READ MOREOrange, CA, is listed among the best places to retire in Caring’s 2024 Senior Living Report. The city’s captivating blend of historic homes in Old Towne and its nearness to the ocean and scenic drives in the Santa Ana Mountains may be a factor. Others may be the low crime rates and below-average health care costs. Reflecting this is the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey recording home care services as $5,911 per month — 3.1% cheaper than the state average. Home care shouldn’t be confused with home health care, which is a limited medical care service. Orange also offers quality medical care via Providence St. Joseph Hospital-Orange, which ranks as one of California’s top 25 facilities.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Orange area – complete with services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled resources to help seniors and their families to access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

Data published in the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey reveals seniors in Orange pay less for home care than the average Californian, who pays $6,101. However, the city’s median monthly fee of $5,911 is higher than the national average of $4,957. As a result, seniors relocating from out of state may find Orange costlier. Those looking for more affordable alternatives may want to consider Oxnard, where the median fee is $5,815, or Bakersfield, where it’s $5,506. Seniors considering cities such as San Diego and Riverside may be disappointed, as the former averages $6,387, and the latter, $6,101.

Despite home care providing nonmedical services and home health care offering medical support, both share a median monthly fee of $5,911. The fee is based on 44 hours worked per week. Adult day care is the most affordable option, at $1,652, but will require the senior to make daily trips to the center. Assisted living also costs less, at $5,250, but will mean moving into a residential community. Nursing home care is the most expensive option, typically costing $9,125 per month.

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.

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.
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.
