Hourly Home Care Sacramento
To ensure the client is always taken care of, two or more caregivers take turns on shifts to be awake and available day and night.
A trusted and alert caregiver is always awake to care for your loved one. By rotating caregivers, they are able to stay alert and ready when new situations arise with a senior who wanders at night, needs toileting assistance at night, or may become confused and just need some company and reassurance.
Live-In Home Care Sacramento
Live-in care is when a caregiver works a 24-hour shift taking care of the same client. A live-in caregiver will sleep while the client is sleeping. There must be down-time so the caregiver can take breaks and rest, however the caregiver always remains in the home to ensure the safety of the client.
The same 2 live-in caregivers will share the same 7 day a week client ensuring continuity of care and a deeper sense of comfort for the client. The heightened familiarity with the client’s favorite routines and moods help to better manage dementia diagnoses as well.
Live-In Home Care may not be the best choice for home care for seniors who needs significant or repeated assistance at night with toileting, wandering or confusion.

How Much Does Sacramento In-Home Care Cost?
According to the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Study,
The answer to this question can vary depending on several factors, including location, level of care needed, and specific services provided.
Overall, the cost of in-home care in Sacramento, CA are considerably higher than the national average. The Genworth Cost of Care Survey indicates that both homemaker and home health aide services in Sacramento are $5,863 a month (based on 44 hours per week). This is significantly higher than the national averages which place homemaker services at $4,481 and home health aide costs near $4,576 a month.
In-home care in Sacramento is fortunately slightly lower than other major cities in Northern California. San Francisco as an example – where in-home care costs $6,101 per month (based on 44 hours per week).
These numbers of course are based on 44 hours per week. Twenty four hour a day in-home care is far more hours than 44, and will impact the cost because of the hours required (168 hours – 24 hours x 7 days per week).
For a clearer picture of your potential costs, determine your loved one’s needs and contact HomeCare Professionals to inquire about companion care providers and average costs in your area.
How Our Home Care Process Works
Step 1: Contact
The client or their advocate (someone acting on the client’s behalf) decide they are interested in exploring home care. They proactively research service providers or get a referral for a company that provides service in their geographic area of need.
The client/advocate will then call HomeCare Professionals or visit our Get Started page and communicate the general needs of the client.
Home care Sacramento is not appropriate for everyone and during this initial conversation we will be able to determine if the client is a good candidate for home care services.
If the client is a candidate for home care care then an in-person assessment will be scheduled at a time and date convenient for the client should the client wish to proceed.
Step 2: The Assessment
The assessment is a thorough face to face consultation by HomeCare Professionals with the client/advocate where all relevant details pertaining to the care situation are discussed.
The exact cost, schedule, care needs and other factors are all examined and discussed.
In some situations, it is possible to do the assessment over the phone when the client’s urgency does not permit the time for an in-person assessment.
The assessment is a collaborative meeting where we couple our experience of over a decade of providing care with the client / advocates personal knowledge and history of the recipient of care.
At the conclusion of the assessment clients will have a full and complete understanding of how our services work.
HomeCare Professionals does not charge any fees to assess potential clients.
Step 3: Caregiver Selection
HomeCare Professionals has a large team of caregivers who have a broad range of experience and backgrounds.
Making the right match between caregiver(s) and client is perhaps the most important aspect of what we do.
We utilize the information gathered during the assessment and take those many factors into pairing caregivers with clients.
Depending on client preference, one-on-one caregiver interviews with the client/advocate can be conducted during this step.
But man clients simply ask HomeCare Professionals to make the caregiver selection once the assessment has been completed.
Once appropriate caregivers have been selected and confirmed, HomeCare Professionals is ready to provide service.
Step 4: Commencing Service
Once the caregiver(s) have been agreed upon and confirmed, all that is required is a signature on our service agreement and services can begin at the agreed upon time.

People hire home care services in Sacramento for many reasons. Often, family members are tasked with trying to take care of a loved one – home care services can provide relief for those family members for a few hours (or days) so they too can live their life.
Many people who try to offer home care themselves find the task overwhelming. There is a lot that goes into scheduling and having back ups in case a regular care provider can’t make it to the home. When you work with home care services, they have staff to make sure your loved one always has someone there. It can be challenging to do that yourself.
Lastly, professional home care services have the training and experience to properly care for a loved one. There is a lot that goes into knowing how to care for an elderly person or someone suffering from dementia or from severe disabilities. Home care services have the training to take care of many types of persons.
When you are looking for home care in Sacramento it is important to find a provider who has experience. It seems nearly every day a new home care agency pops up in Sacramento. It is important to ask how many years they have been in business? Do they have a good rating with the BBB? Read their reviews on Google to see what other people are saying.
Also, we recommend asking a home care company what background checks if any they perform on the people they hire? Home care workers will often be in the home of your loved one with just them and your family member. Make sure the home care company you use conducts background checks.
Lastly – ask what kind of training is provided to home care employees. At HomeCare Professionals we train our staff to help ensure they are highly skilled and knowledgeable so they can provide the best care possible.
This is a question only you can answer for yourself. But let us share some experience with you. Taking care of a loved one is almost always overwhelming for any single person to attempt. Often times the person trying to provide care is as old or sometimes older than the person being cared for. This can lead to injuries, fatigue, and illness. It is not uncommon for caregivers to become ill themselves from the strain of trying to provide home care.
Plus, unless you have undergone some training, or just happen to be a former home care worker yourself, you may lack the skills necessary to make proper judgement calls about a persons care. You might rush someone to the emergency room when a call to a nurse practitioner may have sufficed. You may fail to notice problems before they become critical simply because you are not used to seeing the signs of someone in difficult.
Lastly, who is going to take over for you when you have the inevitable appointments of your own to tend to? Finding home care staff is a challenge. Finding someone you would trust to leave home with your loved one can be an even greater challenge. When you hire a professional home care company, they have enough staff to make sure someone is always available to help take care of your loved one.
