It’s not always easy to know when it’s time for extra help. Maybe you’ve started noticing your loved one’s mail piling up or meals being skipped. Maybe you’re feeling stretched too thin as a caregiver. Either way, asking the question is the first step.
At Home Instead Castro Valley, we’ve supported more than 2,000 local families through this moment—helping older adults stay safe and independent in the home they love.
Here are a few common signs it might be time for in-home care:
- Trouble with bathing, dressing, or managing medications
- Missed meals or declining nutrition
- Forgetfulness or increased confusion
- Isolation from friends or daily activities
- Caregiver fatigue or burnout
We provide personalized support throughout Castro Valley, Hayward, Fremont, and Pleasanton, so families can worry less—and loved ones can stay connected to the life they enjoy.
