We’re using EssentialCare for my mom. It’s friendly personal care. The aide’s attitude is great. They come in and out throughout the day because my mom gets medicines five times a day and they help her with any personal needs that she has. I fill the pillboxes, and they hand out the pills. They set up the nebulizer machines and make sure she takes her inhalers, and they make sure she eats. But they’re not qualified for wound care or IVs or anything like that. Communication is good. They’re very responsive, and their needs are met. California nursing care is expensive, but I think the value is good.

We have been working with Kindred at Home for four years now. They’re very accommodating. The caregiver that we’ve had for the past two-and-a-half years, Carolina, is priceless. She has been more helpful than we could ever ask for, and my mom just absolutely adores her. She’s like another daughter to her. We have one caregiver now. There are other caregivers available to us if Carolina can’t make it and we needed someone else. We have just been with Carolina for the last two-and-a-half years. It’s more comfortable for my mom to just have Carolina. She helps with everything, cleaning, cooking, and laundry. My mom is a fall risk. She is impaired, a little weak and becomes dizzy sometimes, and is arthritic and so forth. She is using a walker, so Carolina is here just to make sure that she doesn’t fall. She helps her with physical therapy, she takes her outside for walks, and she helps her bathe, basically just everything that we need.
For the entire four years that we’ve been using Kindred, if all of our caregivers were Carolina, they would get a six out of five. We had a few issues in the very beginning with caregivers that were late or wouldn’t show up. Carolina, however, has really set the bar. She’s really amazing and we’re super lucky to have her and very grateful to Kindred for introducing us to her.

San Jose 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 San Jose:
Department of Aging and Adult Services (Santa Clara County)
Address: 353 W. Julian St., San Jose, CA 95110
Phone Number: (408) 755-7600
The Department of Aging and Adult Services offers in-home supportive services, nutrition programs and adult protective sources to eligible seniors. It also provides support and resources for caregivers. Each program has different eligibility guidelines, but seniors who have Medicare health insurance generally qualify. The local Meals on Wheels program is managed by this department.
Farewell to Falls Program
Address: 300 Pasteur Drive, Stanford, CA 94305
Phone Number: (650) 724-9369
Farewell to Falls is a free program offered to people aged 65 or older who have either recently fallen or are concerned about falls. It’s offered through the Trauma Service and Emergency Department at Stanford University Medical Center. The program focuses on fall prevention and offers tips, home safety assessments, home exercise programs and more.
Health Trust (Healthy Aging Initiative)
Address: 3180 Newberry Drive, Suite 200, San Jose, CA 95118
Phone Number: (408) 513-8700
This program ensures that vulnerable populations living in California’s Silicon Valley receive the services they need to stay healthy and engaged with the community. The Healthy Aging Initiative focuses primarily on services related to housing, food and chronic diseases. There are a wide range of programs in these sectors, and most people over 65 qualify. A diverse group of volunteers help to keep the program running.
R.Y.D.E. Transportation Service
Address: 10104 Vista Drive, Cupertino, CA 95014
Phone Number: (408)255-8033
The Reach Your Destination Easily Transportation Service offers curb-to-curb transport and local trip planning for all seniors over the age of 65. Rides should be planned in advance and are available from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. or from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Fees are fixed based on the number of miles to your destination and income guidelines. Trips up to 4 miles start at 90 cents or $9 depending on income.
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 – 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.
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.
