Home Care in the Bay Area, for the People You Love the Most

Home care refers to non-medical support provided in the home (personal hygiene, meal preparation, companionship, transportation, and mobility assistance), designed to help older adults live safely and independently without moving to a facility. Home health care is a medical service delivered by licensed clinicians (RNs and LVNs) that includes skilled nursing, medication administration, and wound care. Care Indeed provides both through a single agency, so families don't need to coordinate multiple providers as needs change.

Families usually start thinking about home care when they notice difficulty with daily tasks like bathing or meal preparation, increased fall risk, signs of cognitive decline, missed medications, unexplained weight loss, or social withdrawal. A recent hospitalization or surgery is also a common trigger. If you're asking the question, it's usually worth a conversation. Our team can help you assess your family member's needs and find the right level of support.

Non-medical home care in the San Francisco Bay Area is priced hourly, with higher rates for live-in or overnight arrangements. Licensed nursing services are billed at higher rates reflecting clinical credentials. Most non-medical home care is paid privately or through long-term care insurance; Medicare does not generally cover it. We're transparent about our rates and will walk you through what to expect before you commit. Contact us for current pricing specific to your situation.

Look for an agency that employs caregivers directly (rather than placing independent contractors), conducts thorough screening and ongoing training, has a reliable backup plan for call-outs, and communicates proactively with families. It's also worth asking whether the agency can scale services, from hourly care to live-in care or skilled nursing, so you're not forced to switch providers as needs evolve. We do all of this, and we're happy to walk you through how we work before you make any decisions.

Yes — and this is one of the most common reasons families call us. The period right after hospital discharge is one of the highest-risk windows for older adults, with increased chances of readmission, falls, and medication errors. Our 72-Hour Post-Discharge service covers that critical window with transportation home, pharmacy pickup, meal preparation, and symptom observation. For longer recoveries, our Hospital to Home Transition service provides continued support as your family member rebuilds strength and independence at home.
