Home care in Sacramento County
Our office is in Sacramento County, on Fair Oaks Boulevard, which means most of our caregivers live in the same county as the families they visit. It is the difference between a caregiver who arrives on time and one who is fighting the causeway twice a day.

Home care across Sacramento
Sacramento County is where almost everything we do happens, and the county is not one place. The City of Sacramento is younger than the county average, with 14.2 percent of residents 65 or older. Drive twenty minutes northeast into Carmichael and that figure is 20.7 percent; carry on to Fair Oaks and it is 25.1 percent, with a median age nearly ten years above the city's. The older population lives in the suburbs, in the county's older housing stock, and that is who calls us.
The county is also where the region's hospitals are. UC Davis Medical Center is the only Level I trauma center north of San Francisco. Mercy San Juan in Carmichael is the Level II that takes north county and south Placer. Between them, plus Sutter, Mercy General, Methodist and two Kaiser hospitals, most of our first calls come the day after a discharge, when a family realizes the person they are bringing home cannot manage the first week alone.

Read moreWhat home care costs around Sacramento
There is a published median rate for this whole metro area, and it is the honest starting point for a conversation about money. Our guide to what home care costs across the Sacramento region gives that figure, explains the assumption buried in the monthly version of it, and runs the arithmetic at the amounts of care families actually buy.
If the question is who pays rather than how much, how families pay for home care in Sacramento County covers what Medicare will and will not cover, how Medi-Cal's IHSS program works, and what VA Aid and Attendance is worth.

Does Guiding Souls cover all of Sacramento County?
We serve the county from our office on Fair Oaks Boulevard, and we have city pages for Sacramento, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Citrus Heights, Folsom, Rancho Cordova and Orangevale. If your address is somewhere else in the county, call Guiding Souls Home Care at (916) 229-8120 and we will tell you honestly whether we reach you.
Can care start straight from a hospital discharge?
That is one of the most common ways care starts. Call us while the discharge is being planned rather than after it, because what we can staff depends on the hours you need and on finding the right match, and a day of notice makes a real difference.
Is Guiding Souls a franchise?
No. Guiding Souls Home Care, Inc. is a family owned California corporation, formed in 2022, with one office at 3626 Fair Oaks Blvd, Suite 100 in Sacramento. When you call, you reach the people who will be accountable for the care.
