Senior resources and support services in Calabasas are in greater demand today than at any prior point in Los Angeles County’s history, as the region’s over-65 population continues to grow faster than available residential care infrastructure. According to the AARP Home and Community Preferences Survey, 77% of adults aged 50 and older want to remain in their own homes as they age — yet the majority will require structured support to do so safely. Senior Home Care Givers 24/7 is a licensed, insured, and bonded in-home senior care agency serving Calabasas and Greater Los Angeles, providing fully personalized non-medical and supportive care that allows your parent or loved one to age in their own home with dignity, comfort, and professional oversight. Our caregivers are licensed by California, certified in CPR and first aid, and background-checked through state and federal databases. To speak with a care coordinator at any hour, call (818) 796-5388.
What Is Local Care?
Local care — also referred to as in-home care or home care — is professional assistance delivered directly inside a senior’s private residence. Rather than relocating your parent to a nursing facility, assisted living community, or memory care center, local care sends a trained, licensed caregiver to the home your parent already knows. In Calabasas and the surrounding communities of western Los Angeles County, that means a qualified caregiver arrives at your parent’s door to provide the support they need, on a schedule that fits their routine and your family’s circumstances.
Understanding the distinction between home care and home health care is essential. Home health care is delivered by medically licensed professionals — registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists — under a physician’s orders, covering skilled clinical tasks such as wound care, post-surgical monitoring, IV management, and medication administration. Home care, the service Senior Home Care Givers 24/7 provides, focuses on non-medical assistance: personal hygiene, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, safe transportation, and companionship. These two service types are complementary. Many families use both simultaneously — a home health nurse manages clinical needs while a home care aide handles bathing, meals, and daily activities on the same day.
In-home care is flexible by design. Services can range from a few hours of weekly companionship to 24-hour live-in coverage, and the care plan adjusts as your parent’s needs evolve over time. For Calabasas families, local care is the most practical path to genuine aging in place — preserving the familiar environment, the established routines, and the independence that directly supports a senior’s quality of life and emotional well-being.
Who Benefits Most From Local Care?
In-home care is appropriate across a wide range of ages, conditions, and family situations. The most common scenarios that bring Calabasas families to Senior Home Care Givers 24/7 include:
Age-related functional decline. When bathing, dressing, meal preparation, or safe movement around the home become difficult or unsafe to manage alone, in-home care addresses those gaps before a fall or medical event forces a higher — and more expensive — level of care.
Post-hospitalization recovery. Following a surgery, stroke, heart attack, or serious infection, many seniors require structured hands-on support to return home safely. A home care aide bridges the gap during the transition from hospital or skilled nursing facility back to independent living, reducing the risk of readmission.
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, approximately 700,000 Californians are living with Alzheimer’s disease in 2025, and many remain at home for years with appropriate care. Trained caregivers use established redirection techniques, consistent daily routines, and environmental safety strategies to reduce behavioral symptoms and minimize wandering risk — allowing your parent to remain in the familiar home environment that supports cognitive stability.
Chronic disease management. Diabetes, COPD, Parkinson’s disease, and congestive heart failure require consistent daily monitoring, medication reminders, and lifestyle support that a trained caregiver can provide reliably and safely.
Family caregiver burnout. Adult children and spouses who serve as primary caregivers face significant physical and emotional strain over time. Scheduled respite care — from a few hours per week to extended overnight coverage — allows family caregivers to rest without leaving their loved one unsupported.
Senior isolation. Social isolation is associated with significantly elevated risk of cognitive decline, depression, and cardiovascular disease in older adults. Regular companion care counters this risk by providing structured social engagement and meaningful daily interaction tailored to your parent’s interests and personality.

How Care Works — From Free Assessment to Care Start
Beginning care with Senior Home Care Givers 24/7 starts with a free, no-obligation in-home assessment. A licensed care coordinator visits your parent’s residence — in Calabasas or wherever they currently live — to evaluate functional abilities, health conditions, daily routines, medication schedules, fall risk, and personal preferences. This conversation includes you: family input is essential to building a care plan that reflects your parent’s actual life, not a standardized template.
From the assessment, a written care plan is developed specifying the type and frequency of services, caregiver responsibilities, reporting protocols, and emergency procedures. The care plan is a living document — it is reviewed and updated as your parent’s needs change, whether due to a health event, a shift in cognitive function, or the gradual progression of aging.
Caregiver matching follows the care plan. The agency considers clinical skill requirements, specialized training needs (such as dementia care certification or Parkinson’s experience), scheduling availability, language preference, and personality fit. Care typically begins within 24 to 48 hours of the initial assessment. A supervisory care manager conducts ongoing visits throughout the course of care to monitor quality and address any concerns.
Senior Home Care Givers 24/7 maintains 24/7 availability — a live care coordinator can be reached at (818) 796-5388 at any hour, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, for urgent needs, staffing questions, or changes in your parent’s condition that require an immediate response. Under California Health & Safety Code §1569, agencies providing home care aide services are subject to mandatory state licensing, background check requirements, and ongoing training standards. Senior Home Care Givers 24/7 is fully compliant with all applicable California regulations.

Cost & Payment Options
In-home senior care is a significant financial consideration for most families in Los Angeles. In 2026, private-pay rates for home care aides in the Greater Los Angeles market typically range from $35 to $45 per hour, depending on the level of care required, total weekly hours, and whether a live-in arrangement is involved. Several payment options are available to Calabasas families:
Private pay is the most common starting point. Families pay directly from personal savings, retirement income, investment accounts, or a home equity line of credit. Early financial planning is beneficial — care needs often increase over time, and understanding projected long-term costs helps families plan accordingly.
Long-term care insurance (LTCI) can substantially offset costs when a qualifying policy is in force. Policy terms vary significantly — daily benefit amounts, elimination periods, inflation riders, and care setting requirements differ by carrier and policy year. Our care coordinators can help you interpret your parent’s policy terms and assist with claim documentation and submission.
VA Aid and Attendance is a pension benefit available to qualifying wartime veterans and surviving spouses who require help with activities of daily living. Benefit amounts vary depending on care status, marital situation, and medical need. Application is made through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs; our team can provide guidance on the process.
In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is a California Medi-Cal program that funds non-medical home care for eligible low-income seniors and adults with disabilities. The Los Angeles County IHSS program serves tens of thousands of older adults who would otherwise be unable to afford in-home support. Eligibility is determined by functional need and income and asset criteria established by the state.
Medicare limitations: Medicare does not cover ongoing, non-medical in-home care services such as personal care, companion care, or meal preparation. Under specific conditions defined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Medicare Part A does cover short-term, skilled home health services — nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy — following a qualifying hospitalization. However, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), Medicare covers fewer than 20% of total long-term care costs nationally, making private planning essential for most families who anticipate ongoing care needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How quickly can in-home care begin in Calabasas after the initial assessment?
In most cases, care can begin within 24 to 48 hours of the free in-home assessment. Urgent situations — including same-day post-hospital discharge, sudden family caregiver illness, or a rapid decline in your parent’s functional status — are treated as priorities, and our care coordinators work to initiate services as quickly as staffing allows. To discuss your specific timeline, call (818) 796-5388 at any hour. Senior Home Care Givers 24/7 maintains 24/7 availability precisely because care needs rarely arise on a weekday schedule.
Q: Are caregivers in Calabasas background-checked and licensed by the state of California?
Yes. Every caregiver employed by Senior Home Care Givers 24/7 undergoes a comprehensive background check through state and federal databases before their first shift. All caregivers are registered as Home Care Aides (HCAs) as required under California Health & Safety Code §1569, and are certified in CPR and first aid. The agency itself is licensed, insured, and bonded under California law. Ongoing training is mandatory for all staff, covering dementia care, fall prevention, chronic disease management, and elder abuse recognition and reporting obligations under Welfare & Institutions Code §15600.
Q: Does Medicare pay for in-home care services for seniors in Calabasas?
Medicare does not cover ongoing non-medical in-home care — such as personal care, companion care, meal preparation, or housekeeping — on a sustained basis. Under CMS guidelines, Medicare Part A does cover short-term, skilled home health services (nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy) following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to strict conditions. For seniors who need extended non-medical care at home, payment options include private pay ($35–$45/hr in 2026 in the Greater Los Angeles market), long-term care insurance, VA Aid and Attendance for eligible veterans, and California’s IHSS program for Medi-Cal-eligible individuals.
Q: Can in-home care support a parent with Alzheimer’s disease living in Calabasas?
Yes. Many seniors with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia are able to remain safely at home for years with structured, consistent in-home care. Our caregivers trained in memory care use established redirection techniques, predictable daily routines, and environmental safety modifications to reduce behavioral symptoms and manage wandering risk. For seniors with advanced dementia requiring continuous supervision, 24/7 live-in care is often the most appropriate option. Each situation is assessed individually during the free in-home evaluation, and we provide an honest, needs-based recommendation rather than a one-size-fits-all care package.
Q: What is the difference between home care and home health care — and which does my parent need?
Home care refers to non-medical assistance with daily living activities — bathing, dressing, meal preparation, companionship, medication reminders, and transportation — provided by trained home care aides. Home health care involves medically licensed professionals, such as registered nurses or physical therapists, delivering skilled clinical services under a physician’s orders. Many seniors need both: a home health nurse managing post-surgical wound care while a home care aide assists with bathing and meals on the same day. Senior Home Care Givers 24/7 provides home care services and coordinates with home health providers when your parent’s care plan calls for both levels of support concurrently.
