Aging at home should feel safe, supported, and comfortable – no matter your health challenges – so you or a loved one can thrive with in-home care in the San Francisco Bay Area throughout every stage of life. Institute on Aging’s Support at Home is here to make that possible.
We provide compassionate, professional in-home caregivers trained to support older adults and adults with dementia. Whether your loved one needs help a few hours a week or 24/7 support, we deliver care that promotes independence, dignity, and peace of mind.
We know many families come to us after feeling let down by rushed, impersonal care. At Institute on Aging (IOA), we reject that approach. Our caregivers are carefully selected, highly trained, licensed and bonded. Supported by a professional team with decades of experience in aging services, our caregivers consistently rank IOA one of the best places to work, winning the Home Care Pulse’s Best of Home Care: Employer of Choice award annually since 2021. What’s more, the home care services we provide receive national awards, including both the Home Care Pulse Leader in Excellence and Home Care Provider of Choice awards annually since 2021, and The J. Weekly Reader’s Choice Home Care Provider in 2022 and 2024.
Backed by IOA’s reputation for compassionate, dignity-focused senior in-home care, our caregivers provide the personalized support your loved one deserves – whether it’s help at home, companionship, or specialized dementia care.
5 stars!?!? Forget that - it’s more like 7 stars!!! All of the IOA caregivers have been more than professional, empathetic and willing to do anything to care for my wife. They have done everything to accommodate us and I could not ask for more. They try 100% and are my first choice when it comes to my wife's needs. You don't need any other agency or group.
IOA’s assistance has been a godsend to me. You are fast and professional, and even for a small bit of assistance like I need, you respond as if I were a high paying customer.
Support at Home is more than in-home help – it’s your gateway to a full continuum of aging services. From dementia support to care management, emotional counseling or engaging with your community, our holistic model means your care can grow with you as your needs continue to change, and never left to navigate aging alone.
The IOA program representatives I encountered were encouraging and positive. This is important because this process of aging does not come easily.
You don’t just get a caregiver – you gain a care partner who understands your family’s journey.
