Home Care Services in Pleasant Hill, CA
Every family in Pleasant Hill comes to us with a different situation, so the care we set up follows your loved one and the kind of help they actually want. These are the services families here lean on most.
Many families start with help with bathing, dressing and other personal care. Our caregivers also help with grooming, toileting, moving safely from the bed to a chair, meals, errands, light housekeeping and medication reminders, and they're good company on the quiet afternoons, too.
A parent living with memory loss needs gentle, steady supervision, and our in-home Alzheimer's and dementia care gives them that in a house that already feels familiar. Caregivers help prevent wandering, keep the daily routine on track, make sure medications are taken on time and get your loved one to doctor appointments and the store.
Some seniors need someone there all the time, and our round-the-clock care at home keeps a caregiver awake and ready at every hour, with caregivers taking turns on 8- or 12-hour shifts. We also offer live-in care, where the same caregivers stay in the home and rest while your loved one sleeps.
Cancer treatment can leave a person worn out for days at a time, and our home care for people going through cancer treatment covers the everyday things that start to slip. Caregivers plan meals around a changing appetite, drive to appointments, run errands, keep up with the laundry and even help with hair and nails. Families can set it up as live-in care, a short-term arrangement or respite care, so the family caregiver gets a real break.
Pleasant Hill is home to more than a thousand veterans, and our home care for veterans and their surviving spouses helps with all the activities of daily living. We can also walk your family through the VA's Aid and Attendance program, one step at a time.

Recovering at Home After Surgery or a Hospital Stay
John Muir Health's Walnut Creek Medical Center, a short drive from Pleasant Hill, is the only trauma center for Contra Costa County and parts of Solano County, with 503 licensed beds and specialties that include orthopedics, cancer care and rehabilitation. So when a parent here has a hip replaced or goes through a serious surgery, there's a good chance that's where they'll come home from, and often a little sooner than they feel ready.
The first days home are usually the shakiest ones. Our care at home after surgery or a hospital stay helps bridge that stretch between discharge and feeling like yourself again. Caregivers help with walking, toileting, bathing and dressing, cook meals, give medication reminders, keep up with laundry and housekeeping, and drive your loved one to post-op appointments.
Falls are a real worry after an operation, so caregivers stay close by while your loved one moves around the house. Getting up and walking each day also lowers the risk of pneumonia and bedsores, so caregivers help with that every day and follow the post-surgery instructions your loved one's doctor gives. We regularly help seniors recover from hip, knee and shoulder replacements and from cancer surgeries such as mastectomies, for a few days, a few weeks or as long as recovery takes.
HomeCare Professionals is a licensed Home Care Organization by the State of California. We have locations in the San Francisco Bay Area and in the Sacramento Area.

Often our client’s urgency dictates the manner in which we proceed. In some cases we are asked to begin services the within a few hours of the client making their initial contact. In other cases, clients may take weeks or longer before deciding to start service. HomeCare Professionals strives to be as flexible as possible which enables us to better meet our client’s needs and schedules, not the other way around.
Supporting Pleasant Hill's Growing Senior Community
About 1 in 6 people in Pleasant Hill is 65 or older. That's a lot of parents and grandparents in town, and many of them want to stay right where they are.
Nearly two out of three homes in Pleasant Hill are lived in by the people who own them, and the typical one is worth just over $1 million. For many seniors here, that house is the biggest thing they've worked for, and it holds a lifetime of family dinners and holidays. Half of the homes in town went up in 1972 or earlier, and the stairs, steps and bathtubs in an older house can get harder to manage with every passing year.
Across Contra Costa County, nearly 1 in 4 residents is expected to be over 60 by 2030, and the fastest growth is among people 75 and older. The same county plan finds that about a quarter of adults 65 and up live alone, and that grown children often move away for work or because of the cost of living. That leaves a lot of families helping a parent from across the Bay or across the country.
Our care is built for that situation. A caregiver helps your loved one stay safely in the home they've put decades into, gets to know their routine, their favorite meals and the way they like things done, and keeps you in the loop when you can't be there yourself.
