Caring Network

Caring Network is a homecare agency serving Elk Grove, California and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In California, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the California Department of Social Services and generally must maintain a Home Care Organization (HCO) Registration. California requires registration as a Home Care Organization. Caregivers are generally required to be registered through the Home Care Aide Registry.

Payment Options: In California, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), Home and Community-Based Alternatives Waiver. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact California Department of Health Care Services or visit https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Pages/AssistedLivingWaiver.aspx to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit California Department of Social Services for more information about homecare services in California.
