At Hillendale Home Care, caring for older adults has always meant more than providing excellent in-home support. It means showing up for the communities where our clients, caregivers, and families live. Strong communities are essential to healthy aging, and Hillendale Home Care believes senior care organizations have a responsibility to help support them.

For many families in the East Bay, there comes a time when traditional hourly care no longer provides enough consistent support.

For many families in Northern California, the month of January brings more than just a change in the calendar.

For many San Francisco Bay Area families, the holidays are a time of celebration, tradition, and togetherness. But for people living with dementia (and the family caregivers supporting them), the season can bring a complex mix of joy, longing, stress, and overwhelm. Routines change, gatherings get louder, travel becomes more complicated, and emotional memories surface more abruptly than usual.

Every year on December 3rd, the world recognizes International Day of Persons with Disabilities. It is a moment to celebrate disability inclusion, challenge assumptions, and spotlight the support systems that help people with disabilities live full, self-directed lives.

Every December, Older Driver Safety Awareness Week shines a light on an issue many families quietly struggle with. Driving represents freedom, independence, spontaneity, and control. It’s often one of the last daily routines older adults want to give up, and for good reason. Driving allows seniors to stay active, social, and connected to the world around them.

When a loved one is living with Alzheimer’s disease, families often reach a point where safety concerns, sleep disruption, and emotional exhaustion make daily care feel overwhelming.

When a loved one receives an end of life diagnosis, families often ask the important question: What is hospice care at home—and is it really something we need?

In-home care is becoming the preferred choice for families in Pleasant Hill. Hillendale Home Care highlights how personalized support, familiar surroundings, emotional companionship, and safety-focused services help seniors age with dignity and comfort, while offering families peace of mind.
