Why Families Turn to Care From The Heart
We live and work in Santa Cruz County. We serve Santa Cruz, Soquel, Capitola, Aptos, Scotts Valley, Watsonville, and Los Gatos. Our clients are our neighbors.
We provide licensed and insured home care services Santa Cruz families can depend on. Our caregivers receive training and ongoing support. We follow state guidelines and clear care standards. Families trust us with their homes and their loved ones. We honor that trust every shift.
We Focus On:
Personalized care plans built around each client
Caregiver matching that supports comfort and trust
Consistent communication with families
A strong focus on safety and independence
We do not believe in one size fits all care. We take time to understand your loved one as a person, not a schedule.
Our In-Home Care Services
We offer flexible services that adjust as needs change. Each plan reflects health needs, routines, and preferences.
Personal Care
We assist with bathing, dressing, grooming, and daily hygiene. We protect dignity and help clients feel confident in their own homes.
Home Safety Evaluation
We review the home for fall risks and safety concerns. We suggest changes that improve mobility and reduce hazards, which is key in older Santa Cruz properties with stairs and uneven walkways.
Companion Care
We provide conversation, shared activities, and steady presence. Many seniors face isolation. We bring connection back into the day.
Respite Care
We step in so family caregivers can rest. Caring for a loved one takes strength. We give you space to recharge without worry.
Transportation
We help with medical appointments, errands, and social outings. From coastal roads in Capitola to hillside streets in Los Gatos, we support safe travel across the area.
Post-Hospital Care
We support recovery after surgery or hospital stays. We help clients follow discharge plans and regain strength at home.

Real Words From Local Families
Families often tell us they feel relief after starting care. They share that their loved one feels seen and respected. They express gratitude for steady caregivers who show up and stay engaged. These words drive our work and keep our standards high.
"When my mother was diagnosed with early dementia, we were overwhelmed. Care From The Heart didn't just send a caregiver — they sent Margaret, who has become a true companion. Mom lights up when she arrives."

Daughter of client, age 81
"After my hip surgery, I couldn't do anything on my own. My caregiver was punctual, patient, and genuinely kind. I never felt like a burden — I felt cared for. I truly couldn't have recovered without this team."
RP
Robert P.
Direct client, age 74
"My father refused outside help for years. Within a week of meeting his caregiver, David, he was asking when he'd visit next. The matching process is remarkable. They truly find the right person."
