Home care across Yolo
Yolo County has the smallest share of older residents of the four counties we cover, around 14 percent aged 65 or over. That sounds like less demand, and in raw numbers it is, but it changes the shape of the problem rather than removing it. An older adult in Yolo is more likely to be the only person on their street in that situation, and further from adult children.
We do not publish a city list for Yolo, because we would rather tell you the truth on the phone than imply coverage we cannot staff on a given week. Call and give us the address. If we can reach you well, we will say so. If we cannot, we will say that instead, and point you toward someone who can.
We do not publish a town list for Yolo
Not because we are being cagey, but because coverage here depends on where our caregivers actually live in a given month. Listing towns we might not be able to staff properly is how families end up let down in week three.
What to do instead
Call (916) 229-8120 and give us the address. If we can reach you well, we will say so. If we cannot, we will say that instead and point you toward someone who can.

There is a published median rate for this whole metro area, and it is the honest starting point for a conversation about money.

If the question is who pays rather than how much, how families pay for home care in Yolo County covers what Medicare will and will not cover, how Medi-Cal's IHSS program works, and what VA Aid and Attendance is worth.

Which parts of Yolo County does Guiding Souls cover?
It depends on the week and on where our caregivers are. Rather than list towns we might not be able to staff properly, we ask you to call Guiding Souls Home Care at (916) 229-8120 with the address. We will tell you honestly whether we reach you.
Why does the drive matter so much for home care?
Because a caregiver who lives near you is a caregiver who arrives on time, in the winter, on the day the traffic is bad. Matching for distance as well as for temperament is one of the things that keeps the same person on your schedule month after month.
Do you charge extra for travel to Yolo County?
Cost comes from the visit, in writing, once we have seen the house and agreed the hours. Ask about it on the call and we will be straight with you before you have committed to anything.
