Home Care Assistance of El Dorado Hills

In 2021, World Health Day has taken on a new meaning, building a fairer and healthier world. COVID-19 has highlighted the health inequities within our communities, so we're striving to make sure our aging clients receive the support they need.

"Finding care for your parent is so difficult. My mother has short-term memory needs, cognitive delays, mobility issues, and all of the emotions that go with her condition. I highly recommend our caregiver, Carol, to any family in need of a kind, professional, respectful and loving caregiver!" - Breann M. We understand that emotion is at the heart of care so we always work with professional caregivers who truly care.

About 60,000 people a year are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and yet the early symptoms often go unnoticed. Read more about these early signs and how to care for your loved ones living with PD.

Meet a Caregiver of the Year Nominee, Terrell Pearson. "I'm really thankful for how he makes me laugh. I get a kick out of asking him to clean where there might be a spider he’s so afraid of that!

We love when a client's adult son takes the time to let us know how we're doing! "We needed urgent home care for my father, who has progressively worsening dementia. My wife and I were referred to the team at Home Care Assistance and they were able to arrange for 24-hr care literally within a few days of contacting them. The care team is professional, skilled and kind. I cannot say enough great things about our experience with them. They have truly gone above and beyond in caring for my father. I wholeheartedly recommend them without any reservations whatsoever." Thank you, Jonathan, for your generous review of Home Care Assistance. We know that need for care can strike unexpectedly and we always strive to provide that support as quickly as possible.
