We loved the details such as the background checks they do for everyone they send to your home. They not only take care of the person but they cook, clean, run errands – all a major help. The down side? They have been wildly inconsistent with who they send out. Which means my “day off” isn’t a day off because I can’t leave my family member with a stranger the first time they come over.

Home Instead provides in-home care services for my husband. He has to be bathed and dressed. We basically need somebody in the home to do light housekeeping like washing, changing his bed, cleaning his wheelchairs, and that type of thing. They try very hard to meet our needs and find a person who is able to take care of my husband, but they said they lost a lot of workers with COVID because people didn’t want to work going in homes and so forth. They’re trying to build up their staff again.
Tomorrow, we’re having a new gal who we never had before. We’ve not had a caregiver for longer than a month. We’re probably on the fourth one now. It’s just not consistent. It’s disconcerting. My husband been paraplegic for 13 years now, so we’re used to getting a get a good care worker and that you really love. After two or three years, they go on to something better or just leave the business.

My father just passed away last week, but he was under Senior Helpers’ care approximately three months before he’s moved into a facility. They were coming in, I believe, about two-and-a-half to three hours in the morning and the evening. They provided a little bit of helping to get him up when he’s waking and going to bed. More than anything, he required pretty much non-stop care and so it was to give my mom some sort of a breather to be able to take care of herself for a couple of hours, get downstairs and have a meal or just have a little mental break. The caregivers were excellent. At the onset, there were some that were a perfect fit and there were some that may not have been, but as soon as I mentioned that to my contact there, they were quickly replaced. There was a little bit of a feeling out the first few weeks, but we ultimately were left with two caregivers that were just phenomenal and above and beyond. They still kinda developed a personal relationship with my mom even though they haven’t cared for two or three months, they’re still in contact with her now and visited her last week and such. Once we found the two, then we’re really able to kinda split up the time and do his care better. They were fantastic.

We have Kindred at Home for my dad. We have been using them since 2019. It has been great. With my scheduler that I talked to now, Amelia, there have been times when someone can’t make it, but she has found someone to step in. There are times when she didn’t even have to tell me because she already got someone for him that could fill in, so I didn’t even need to stress out and know that so-and-so couldn’t make it. It’s been good. It’s been great at times. We’ve been very lucky with the caregivers that have been assigned to come in for my dad.
They come four days (Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays) and all those days, my dad needs to have a shower because he has bowel incontinence. They shower him, they do his laundry, and they’ll clean up the kitchen. They’ve even left me notes like, ‘The vacuum cleaner doesn’t work,’ or there was a power outage in the bathroom and let me know. They keep an eye out on things. They’ll fix him like snacks, make him like eggs or something in the morning if he’s hungry. They look out for him. My main thing in going to Kindred at Home is that it would relieve some stress off of me of having to shower him and be here to look after him because I have a family and it’s hard, so they’ve been a Godsend, and the two ladies I have right now are fantastic.

We’ve been using Ally Independence for the last couple of months for my dad. They make him dinner, wash dishes and clean the bathroom. My dad is very comfortable with the caregivers and they were great. Theyre caring and my dad really likes both caregivers who helped him out. They’re excellent. They’re very accommodating. There was one night that the original caregiver could not make it and they easily made a replacement with no problems for that night. It was very smooth and seamless, and I will use them again for sure. They bill twice a month.

We’re using Partners in Care. The biggest things they offered has been good assessment and good recommendations for what I need to have for my friend. The staffing on all the shifts has been good. So far, all the staff people we received have been excellent. They’re just aides, not nursing care like home assistance. They help with meals. They help clean up in the kitchen, bathroom, and his room. They change his bed, do his laundry, take his medications to him (they don’t give him his medications), and help him with transfers. He’s got to be able to do most of the getting up out of bed and into the wheelchair himself, but they assist him with that on standby.
We’ve got two shifts a day with a different person for each shift. We have four caregivers who come back repeatedly, but we still have a number of new people coming in. The big advantage is that if someone can’t make it, I have to either cover it or find a caregiver; they provide that coverage, which to me is a huge advantage. We’re doing two four-hour shifts, seven days a week.
The pricing is a little bit on the higher end of the range, but it’s been worth it. The fact that I’ve not had to worry about all these things has made it very worthwhile. They keep me up-to-date on the scheduling and all those things.

Sacramento County 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 Sacramento County:
