Typical home care providers only offer the basics. But we know our clients want independence and purpose, not just medication reminders and help with meals. Our proprietary Balanced Care Method guides our staff and care providers to focus on the whole person, in order to maintain joy and dignity each and every day. Our CEO, Lily Sarafan, along with leading elder care experts, authored _Happy to 102_ explaining the program. Get a copy here to appreciate our unique approach. OUR BALANCED CARE METHOD® IS SO UNIQUE, WE LITERALLY WROTE THE BOOK

ON SENIOR CARE.

OUR MISSION

------------------------- Our mission is to be the premier partner of choice for families seeking personalized, dignified care for their aging loved ones. We champion the well-being of our clients, deliver peace of mind to their families, and instill pride of purpose in our care teams, each and

every day.

OUR TECHNOLOGY COMBINED WITH OUR EXPERIENCE ENSURES BETTER QUALITY AND

CONSISTENCY.

------------------------- We were founded 15 years ago in Palo Alto, California–the heart of

Silicon Valley.

So it only made sense to integrate technology and ingenuity with our years of experience, by providing our caregivers with a proprietary mobile app.2 It helps us stay connected with our caregivers and team members every day to provide the updates they need, as well as maintain a consistent level of service. WE SUCCESSFULLY PROVIDE INDEPENDENT, JOYFUL, AND DIGNIFIED LIVING FOR

A LIFETIME.

Many home care providers focus on short-term services like staffing a caregiver to assist a client with recovery after a hospital visit. At Home Care Assistance, our unique program is more similar to the way senior living communities work, offering a range of services that evolve as clients age–so they can continue living at home.

BEST CARE

The 24-hour care that Home Care Assistance provided for our mom was unparalleled. She had three caregivers, each as compassionate, dedicated, and hardworking as the next. Each caregiver worked eight-hour shifts, which enabled them to stay focused and well-rested, and in turn, provide the best care possible. A Client’s Daughter

GREAT DEMENTIA CARE

We were absolutely thrilled with Home Care Assistance. They provided care to my father who had advanced stage Lewy Body Dementia. The caregivers who provided care for my father were loving, professional, honest, skilled, patient, and kind. I worked as a medical social worker in Geriatrics for years and never came across an agency as good as Home Care Assistance. A Client’s Daughter

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Home Care Assistance has provided quality home care to several of my clients over the years. As a geriatric care manager, I appreciate high-quality services and appropriate follow up to me as the care manager. I would recommend them time and again. Geriatric Care Manager CAREGIVER OF THE MONTH

JHEANELL DALEY

Congratulations to Home Care Assistance’s Caregiver of the Month for December, Jheanell Daley! Jheanell juggles being a mom to her six year old daughter, completing a double major in Health Psychology and Health and Human Services, and also working two jobs. We are so grateful for her unwavering dedication to the seniors she works with! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS I like the idea of mom staying home, but how do I know she's safe

there?

Our Client Care Manager conducts a safety assessment prior to the start of care and makes safety recommendations for the home. Caregivers help clients with activities that could otherwise lead to a fall and report any new developments to the Client Care Manager who can connect with the family on how to further improve safety. How does Home Care Assistance screen and hire caregivers? Home Care Assistance interviews 25 caregivers for everyone that we hire. We start by requiring a minimum of two years of verifiable experience with excellent references. Next, we conduct thorough background checks including local and national criminal records, driving record checks, and verify eligibility for employment. Home Care Assistance caregivers are fully bonded, insured, and licensed where required and covered by workers’ compensation insurance. If 24 hour care is required, what will that look like? We typically assign 3-6 caregivers to comply with labor laws and reduce caregiver burnout, which leads to better quality and consistency in care over the long-run. This also means we can create a well-rounded team of highly-skilled individuals who can provide a wide

range of care.
