Golden Years always goes above and beyond the minimum requirements to ensure your loved one receives the best care possible.

This provides for a safe, and effective home care experience.

Although no regulations require care manager oversight in California, Golden Years goes above and beyond the industry standard. Our clients are routinely visited by a Golden Years care manager. Each visit consists of a wellness check where our care manager discusses care needs and takes notes pertaining to the overall wellness of the client. These notes are submitted to our care team for review, where care changes are discussed and implemented after the family’s approval. We go the extra mile to ensure your loved one receives the best care possible. We ca say with confidence, you won’t find any other locally owned care provider who will care for you or your loved one like us – By the way, there is never a fee for this service, it’s always free.

Care Managers develop personal relationships with clients and their families, gaining insight into specific preferences and needs. This allows for effective communication, ensuring caregivers follow the care plan and adjust as needed.

Care Managers oversee caregivers, arrange services, make supervisory visits to seniors' homes, and conduct monthly wellness calls to families. They are specially trained to handle all client requests, providing comprehensive support for every client.
