As our loved ones age, ensuring they receive compassionate, reliable care becomes a top priority. Whether you're navigating this journey for the first time or reassessing your current care plan, understanding your senior care options in Sonoma and Marin Counties can bring peace of mind—and help you make informed decisions.

At CareKeepers, we specialize in connecting families with trusted, qualified caregivers through our Domestic Referral Agency model. We’re rooted in the local community, and we’re here to help you find care that feels like home.


What Is Senior In-Home Care?

Senior in-home care allows aging adults to remain in the comfort of their own homes while receiving help with everyday tasks. These services may include:

  • Personal care (bathing, grooming, dressing)

  • Light housekeeping

  • Meal preparation

  • Companionship

  • Medication reminders

  • Transportation to appointments

Compared to assisted living or nursing facilities, in-home care offers greater independence and emotional comfort—especially for seniors with strong ties to their home and community.


Signs It Might Be Time to Seek Help

If you're noticing any of the following signs, it may be time to consider in-home care:

  • Frequent falls or mobility issues

  • Missed medications

  • Changes in personal hygiene

  • Isolation or depression

  • Unpaid bills or neglected housekeeping

Early intervention can prevent hospitalizations and improve quality of life for your loved one.


Why Choose a Domestic Referral Agency?

Unlike traditional home care agencies, Domestic Referral Agencies (DRAs) like CareKeepers offer:

  • Affordable Rates – You contract directly with experienced caregivers, which often results in lower hourly costs.

  • Greater Flexibility – You choose your caregiver and the schedule that works best for your family.

  • Personalized Matches – We take the time to understand your loved one’s needs, personality, and preferences.

We’ve built a strong network of caregivers who are vetted, experienced, and committed to providing respectful, dignified care.


Local Support Makes All the Difference

Living in Sonoma or Marin County means you have access to a supportive, health-conscious community with resources designed to help seniors thrive. From senior centers to wellness programs and caregiver support groups, you don’t have to navigate this path alone.

Whether you need temporary respite care, help after a hospital stay, or long-term support, we're here to connect you with the right people and services.
