The award reflects Hillendale Home Care’s ongoing commitment to delivering reliable, compassionate, and high-quality in-home care to older adults and families throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including Contra Costa, Alameda, Sonoma, Santa Clara, and San Mateo Counties.

“Congratulations to Hillendale Home Care on earning the 2026 Best of Home Care – Provider of Choice Award,” said Bud Meadows, Chief Executive Officer of Activated Insights. “This recognition reflects the dedication their team shows every day in delivering an exceptional care experience.
