It does not provide clinical care of any kind, and a caregiver reminds someone to take medication rather than giving it to them. Anyone who needs clinical care at home needs a different type of provider, and the agency will say so on the phone rather than take the work. ## Services - [24-hour home care](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/services/24-7-home-care): Caregivers in shifts so the house is never without help. - [Live-in care](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/services/live-in-care): One caregiver in the home, with a scheduled rest period. - [Alzheimer's and dementia care](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/services/alzheimers-dementia-care): Familiar faces, steady routine, patient redirection. - [Personal care](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/services/personal-care): Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting and medication reminders. - [Companion care](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/services/companion-care): Company, conversation, errands and getting out of the house. - [Respite care](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/services/respite-care): Time off for the family caregiver, an afternoon or two weeks. - [Hospice support](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/services/hospice-support): Comfort care at home, alongside the hospice team. - [Light housekeeping](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/services/light-housekeeping): Laundry, dishes, and floors clear enough to walk safely. - [Meal preparation](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/services/meal-preparation): Home-cooked meals your loved one will actually eat. - [Transportation](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/services/transportation): Rides to appointments and errands, door to door. ## Where it works - [Home care in Sacramento County, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-sacramento-county) - [Home care in Placer County, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-placer-county) - [Home care in Yolo County, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-yolo-county) - [Home care in El Dorado County, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-el-dorado-county) - [Home care in Sacramento, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-sacramento): Sacramento County - [Home care in Roseville, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-roseville): Placer County - [Home care in Citrus Heights, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-citrus-heights): Sacramento County - [Home care in Folsom, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-folsom): Sacramento County - [Home care in Rancho Cordova, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-rancho-cordova): Sacramento County - [Home care in Carmichael, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-carmichael): Sacramento County - [Home care in Fair Oaks, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-fair-oaks): Sacramento County - [Home care in Orangevale, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-orangevale): Sacramento County - [Home care in Lincoln, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-lincoln): Placer County - [Home care in Auburn, CA](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/home-care-auburn): Placer County ## Guides - [What home care costs in Sacramento](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/blog/cost-of-home-care-sacramento): There is a real published number for this region, and most pages that quote it quote it wrong. Here it is, where it came from, what the monthly figure quietly assumes, and how it compares to the alternatives. - [How to pay for home care in Sacramento, California](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/blog/how-to-pay-for-home-care-sacramento): Most families arrive believing Medicare covers this. It does not. The program that does is Medi-Cal, and it has its own application and its own gate. Here is every source of money there is, in the words of the agencies that run them. - [Home health care and home care are not the same thing](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/blog/home-health-care-vs-non-medical-home-care): Two services, two different orders and two completely different bills. Families use the names interchangeably and then find out on the phone that they asked for the wrong one. - [How to choose a home care agency in Sacramento](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/blog/how-to-choose-a-home-care-agency-in-sacramento): Most agency websites in this region say the same eleven things. Here is what actually differs between them, which of it you can verify without asking, and the questions worth asking out loud. - [Caring for someone with dementia at home](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/blog/dementia-care-at-home-sacramento): Most of what helps is not clinical.

Most of them are practical, and several are fixable. - [How to tell when a parent needs help at home](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/blog/signs-your-parent-needs-in-home-care): Most families work this out during a visit, from small things that would not mean anything on their own. Here is what to look at, and what separates a bad week from a change. - [How to talk to a parent about accepting help](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/blog/how-to-talk-to-a-parent-about-home-care): It goes wrong for a reason that has nothing to do with care. You think you are discussing safety and they are hearing a conversation about whether they still get to run their own life. ## Other pages Three routes that were missing from this file, each of which answers a question an assistant is routinely asked about a home care agency and none of which is reachable from the lists above. - [About Guiding Souls](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/about): who owns it, how it started, and who answers the phone. - [Contact](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/contact): the phone number, the office, a contact form and a booking calendar for the free in-home assessment. - [Caregiver jobs](https://guidingsoulshomecare.com/careers): open roles and how to apply. The agency hires directly and trains through its own Training Academy. ## About the figures on the guides The cost and payment guides publish market data from third parties, not this agency's own rates, and they say so on the page. Every figure is attributed in a source line attached to the table or quotation it belongs to, and every verbatim quotation of a government page links to that page. The agency does not publish its own rate, because the rate depends on hours, times of day and the house, and it is put in writing after a free visit. Last updated 2026-08-12.
