Maybe your loved one has started forgetting appointments or meals. Maybe they’ve recently been discharged from the hospital. Or maybe you are feeling stretched too thin trying to manage it all.

At Home Instead Winnetka, we’ve helped hundreds of families from Chatsworth to Tarzana take the first step toward care—without pressure or guilt.

Here are signs in-home care might be right:

• Missed medications or trouble managing daily routines
• Changes in personal hygiene or household upkeep
• Memory loss or early dementia symptoms
• Increased isolation or mood changes
• Family caregiver stress, fatigue, or burnout

Whether you’re supporting a parent near Topanga Canyon or a neighbor in Reseda, we’re here to help your loved one age safely at home.

Caring for a loved one can be one of the most meaningful things you do—but it can also be incredibly demanding. It’s okay to need help.

At Home Instead Winnetka, we’ve delivered over 540,000 hours of care so families across the San Fernando Valley can feel supported without sacrificing their own health or relationships.

Home care can help when:

• You’re balancing work, caregiving, and your own family
• Your loved one’s needs are becoming too much to manage alone
• You want someone who understands dementia or chronic conditions
• You simply need a break or a backup you can trust

From Woodland Hills to Northridge, our bilingual Care Pros provide flexible, dependable support.

It depends—but for many families in the West Valley, in-home care offers the most comfort, flexibility, and personalization.

Benefits of in-home care:

• Stay at home with familiar routines and surroundings
• Receive one-on-one attention—not shared care
• Build trust with a consistent Care Pro
• Adjust care as needs evolve—without relocating

Why Home Instead vs. hiring privately?

Hiring someone independently means you’re responsible for:

• Payroll, scheduling, and taxes
• Liability and insurance
• Finding backup care if they cancel

With Home Instead Winnetka, you get:

• Trained, background-checked, multilingual Care Pros
• No long-term contracts
• 24/7 support from a local, responsive team
• Backup care and proactive communication

In-home care provides professional, one-on-one support right where your loved one feels most comfortable: home.

Here’s how it works with Home Instead Winnetka:

1. Free consultation. We meet (in person or virtually) to learn your family’s needs, routines, and goals.
2. Custom care plan. We create a plan that may include personal care, memory support, errands, companionship, or 24-hour care.
3. Matched Care Pro. We thoughtfully pair your loved one with a trained Care Pro—many of whom speak English, Spanish, or Tagalog.
4. Start care—often within 48 hours. We move quickly but intentionally to get the right support in place.
5. Ongoing communication. We provide 24/7 local office access and regular check-ins to ensure care stays on track.

We call them Care Pros because they bring professionalism, training, and heart to every visit. Our goal is to build trust—not just provide a service.

Here’s what you can expect from our West Valley Care Pros:

• Background-checked, insured, and professionally trained
• Skilled in dementia care, fall prevention, and chronic condition support
• Many are Fluent in English and Spanish
• Carefully matched for compatibility
• Employees—not contractors—so we handle scheduling, insurance, and backup care

Whether your loved one needs memory support in Canoga Park or companionship in Tarzana, our Care Pros show up consistently—with care that feels personal.
