The Help Your Loved One Deserves
We all have a favorite uncle. You know, the one who always had great stories to tell and made everybody laugh. The one who had the coolest car. Maybe he taught you how to play golf, or took you fishing and put the worm on the hook for you. So now the tables have turned and he’s the one who needs home care assistance, but you can’t be there every day.
Or maybe it’s Mom or Dad who can’t quite manage on their own any more. They took care of you for all those years, and now you want to be there for them. But it can be tough when the dynamic changes and you’re caring for the person who once cared for you.
Making the Right Decision for Sonoma County Home Care
Whether it’s your parents, a grandparent, aunt, uncle or a cherished friend you’re looking out for, we understand how the responsibility can wear on you … at work, at home and in your relationships with family and friends. Do you fear for your loved one’s safety, but hope to find a manageable way for them to remain in their home? Do you feel like you want to be there for them all the time but can’t manage? Maybe you’ve thought about a nursing home or assisted living facility? Or you might have even considered having your loved one move in with you. At Home Instead Senior Care of Sonoma County, we have the expertise to help you discuss these important matters with your family and the experience to help you make the right decision – wherever home may be.
Home Care Could Be the Answer You’ve Been Looking For
We know how difficult it can be to make the decision to get outside help. In fact, Paul and Lori Hogan founded the Home Instead Senior Care® network following Paul’s own experience caring for his grandmother for many years. And as your local Home Instead Senior Care owners, we share the Hogans’ passion about caring for seniors. That’s why our offices offer a wide variety of senior home care services, resources and support delivered right in your loved one’s home and designed to be flexible to meet each individual’s needs.

A Little Help Can Make A Big Difference in Sonoma County
Sometimes all that’s needed for a senior to remain in his or her home is a little company or help with daily chores. Others require overnight home care or an escort to doctor’s appointments. Whether you need a few hours a week or 24-hour home care, Home Instead Senior Care provides professional CAREGivers who take the time to get to know each client and tailor care for his or her individual needs. CAREGivers are thoroughly screened, extensively trained, insured and bonded, and matched to your preferences.
Home Instead, Inc. demonstrates commitment to quality care through our proprietary PEAQ program – Pursuing Excellence by Advancing Quality. In fact, we commissioned J.D. Power and Associates to routinely survey CAREGivers and clients to ensure consistent delivery of high-quality service.
