Our mission at Home Care Assistance is to change the way the world ages. We provide older adults with quality care in Sonoma County, that enables them to live happier, healthier lives at home. Our services are distinguished by the caliber of our caregivers, the responsiveness of our staff and our expertise in live-in care. We embrace a positive, balanced approach to aging centered on the evolving needs of older adults.
There is no single explanation for how and why some people live so many healthier and more active years than others. But there is a place where more people live longer and healthier than any other place on earth: Okinawa, Japan. And recently, scientists have been studying this group of seniors to see if we could learn to live a longer and more productive life. Home Care Assistance has developed a revolutionary and proprietary approach to senior care based on these centenarian studies.
The Balanced Care Method™ is based on studies of the extraordinarily long-lived elders in the Okinawa region of Japan. Life spans of over 100 years are not unusual in Okinawa. More important, people in their 70s, 80s and beyond enjoy incredible good health and independence. Excellent physical health, mental awareness, and inner calm are common among the studied elders The Balanced Care Method™ seeks to capture some of the lifestyle factors that go towards creating such long-lived and healthy people. Its philosophy can be summed up in two words: moderation and variety.
Components of Balanced Care Training include:
Healthy Diet
Physical Activity
Sharp Minds
Social Ties
Calmness and Purpose
The Balanced Care Method™ is an evidence-based program built on studies that demonstrate that only one-third of our healthy longevity is based on genetics and two-thirds on lifestyle factors within our control.

When we started looking into care for Mom we were inundated with potential options. There are so many care agencies in Sonoma County, it was overwhelming. We interviewed 3 agencies and chose a provider that seemed to fit our needs. It turned out to be a nightmare. Caregivers didn’t show up, we were constantly having to call the office to figure out who was supposed to be coming next, and Mom would complain that some caregivers just sat and stared at their phones. Mom was determined she didn’t need any help to begin with and all these problems certainly didn’t help convince her otherwise. We almost gave up until we interviewed Home Care Assistance. They came in and started formulating a plan of care based around what Mom wanted. They were in constant communication with Mom regarding her schedule and would then send us any updates. We were able to voice our concerns but Mom felt as if she was in control, and that made a world of difference. I wish we had found them first!

Home Care Assistance has been a lifeline for our family! Mom went into the hospital and we didn’t realize how much help dad needed till she wasn’t around. Home Care Assistance was quick to drop everything to meet with us. Within a day they arranged care for Dad, and were able to adjust through the transition when Mom came home. There were some small bumps in the road when my parents decided they preferred one caregiver over another, but HCA responded with compassion and understanding when dealing with my parent’s quirks. They listened and worked to quickly find another caregiver that matched what my parents wanted. I thought I was going to have to manage my parent’s care, but they stepped in to handle everything, and communicated with us through every step. We are so grateful.

Just got it all set up with Home Care Assistance. The initial conversation and setting up in-home care over the phone have gone well. Looking forward to meeting our caregiver.
