Portola Valley is a town in the hills above Palo Alto. Aging in place here is about winding roads, a small town center, and clinics down on the flat land. California Home Help is an education site operated by Sevah. A Sevah care advisor can talk through companion care, personal care, and county programs such as IHSS. Ask any organization you hire whether caregivers are bonded and insured. This page does not publish a license number, a fee, or a wait time.
More About Home Care Services
Respite for family caregivers
A few hours so the person who usually helps can rest, work, or keep a medical appointment.
Companion care
Conversation, a walk, a meal together, and someone who notices when the day is off.
Personal care
Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and meals when a care plan includes hands on support.
Fall prevention at home
Steady routines around stairs, bathrooms, and nighttime trips. This is daily support, not a therapy program.

Meals and light housekeeping
Simple meals, laundry, and light housekeeping that keep a household going.

Portola Valley families use Stanford Health Care for the hospital and treat the drive down Alpine Road as part of care, not a detail. The Portola Valley Library and Town Center are the local public rooms. Windy Hill Open Space Preserve is the landscape people love and also a reminder that the roads are steep. A power outage or a fallen limb is a bigger event on these lanes than on El Camino. There is no senior high rise district and no rail station. Caregivers need a car and clear directions. Los Altos Hills is the Santa Clara County neighbor over the ridge, which matters if someone almost files the wrong IHSS county. The home county is San Mateo.
