In Home Care Options for Sacramento Seniors 

There are many reputable In Home Care Companies in the Greater Sacramento area. In Home Care is a great option for many seniors who desire to stay in their home. In 2016 the State of California regulated in home care, and now requires licensure from the state to provide services to seniors and families. At Your Elder Care Specialist, we help you find the right in home care company for your needs. 

What Kind of Services does In Home Care Offer? 

In Home Care can help you on many levels in your home. Since the care is considered "non medical" In Home Care Companies are restricted as to what they are allowed to do in the role of a caregiver. Here is a list of some of the services they can offer: 

• Hourly or 24/7 In Home Caregivers 
• Bathing Services (Standby for safety to giving a bed bath) 
• Dressing Assistance
• Toileting and Incontinence care 
• Transferring and Mobility Assistance 
• Home Safety and Supervision
• Medication Reminders 
• Meal Preparation 
• Light Housekeeping, Laundry and Linen Changes 
• Companionship 
• Grocery Shopping and Errand Running 
• Sitter Services and Respite Care 
• And More! 

What Can't They Do? 

Non Medical In Home Care Providers and their caregivers have to avoid providing any medical care or advice when working with a senior and their family.  Some area of care are better served by a Home Health Company (prescribed by your doctor):

• Medication Administration 
• Catheter Care 
• Injections, IV's 
• Colostomy Care 
• Physical Therapy / Occupational Therapy
