At Hired Hands Homecare, we understand that beginning the process of seeking home care in California for your senior loved one can be a daunting process. We’ve compiled the following list of questions to ask as you talk with potential home care agency candidates, to help make the task a little easier and enable you to make a well-informed decision:

Service listing. Do they offer services specific to your loved one’s listed, required needs? Is someone available to provide information on all services, eligibility requirements and funding sources? Is that information available online or can they send it to you?
Training and supervision. What formal training programs and certifications does the agency require of its direct care providers? What level of professional supervises the care? How often and how do the supervisors oversee the caregivers on location to ensure proper care is … Read More »

What Really Makes Us Different…
At Hired Hands, we truly take great pride in not only what we do, but equally important, HOW we do it. As time goes on, there will continue to be more and more options for senior care. We’re firmly committed to being among the best options in the communities that we serve.
This morning, we received the following accolade from a new client in the Tri-Valley area. As their family has been dealing with the challenges of caring for a loved one, they have run into several obstacles and less than ideal situations with different care providers. Needless to say, their compliment put a definite smile on our faces!
“First and foremost, Thank YOU. You and your team have brought faith back to this journey we are on. It didn’t just start with the last agency that let us down. It has not been pleasant … Read More »

Advance Care Planning & The Conversation
April 16, 2014 was National Healthcare Decisions Day and I was fortunate enough to take part in an amazing event at the Kaiser Center in Oakland. In collaboration with several passionate volunteers and exhibitors from local hospices and healthcare industries, we broke down some of the stigmas and got to talking. Hundreds of people from all walks of life attended; many, sitting down to have The Conversation and complete their Advanced Healthcare Directive.
In our culture, it is taboo to discuss death; it is unsavory to discuss medical care; it is uncomfortable to talk with your friends and family about your wishes should you not be able to speak or act for yourself. But, it is a conversation that has the power to assure that all are put at ease should a serious illness or injury occur. Why aren’t we having … Read More »
