Working with the Menlo Park Area Medical Community

Currently representing over 16% of the population, the senior population in Menlo Park and Atherton is expected to increase to over 20% by the year 2030. With more than one in six of the city's residents currently over the age of 65, Homecare California stands ready to serve this sector of the community for years to come with care at home services. In addition to our direct in home care services, Homecare California works closely with nearby Menlo Park hospitals and medical facilities, such as Stanford University Hospital and Palo Alto Sub-Acute Skilled Nursing upon our clients' discharge. Further, we often provide caregiving services to clients living in local independent and assisted living residences such as Canyon House and Crescent Villa.

​

As a home care provider, our services go beyond the safety and comfort of our clients. We encourage our clients to take part in meaningful daily activities both in their homes and in their own communities. With the rich variety of resources and interesting activities in Menlo-Atherton and the surrounding areas, Homecare California facilitates participation each and every week.

Some local activities might include:

• Visiting the Menlo Park Farmer’s Market to buy fresh fruit and flowers

• A shopping trip to nearby Stanford Shopping Mall to enjoy open air surroundings

• Attending a Menlo-Atherton High School theatre production

• A weekly outing Holbrook-Palmer Park (or a favorite nearby park) to get some sunshine

• Having lunch at Café Baronne after selecting a new book from Kepler’s Book Store

• Dining at the open air Carpaccio’s in downtown

• Enjoying a summer jazz concert on the Stanford University campus

• A stroll down Santa Cruz Avenue and a scoop of ice cream
