Get Care Now

Senior care that starts today — not next week.

When something changes — a fall, a discharge, a sudden decline — you don't have weeks to research. We respond in hours, with an RN-led assessment and care that can begin within 24–48 hours.

Pick what's happening

Six common moments families call us.

Each path below leads to a focused guide for that situation — including what to expect, what to ask, and how care typically starts.

How it works

From phone call to care, in four steps.

No long intake forms, no insurance pre-approvals, no waiting weeks for an opening. Here's what actually happens after you call.

Call or request

15-minute phone intake with a care coordinator. We ask what's happening, what you need, and when. No sales script.

RN assessment

A registered nurse visits the home — same day for urgent cases — to evaluate care needs, safety, and family dynamics.

Caregiver match

We match a caregiver based on care level, personality, language, and availability. You meet them before care begins.

Care begins

Care typically starts within 24–48 hours. The RN checks in at day 7, day 30, and quarterly thereafter.

What's included in every care plan

You're not just hiring a caregiver. You're hiring a team.

Most agencies hand you off to a scheduler after intake. We don't. Every Carevider client has an RN care manager, a primary caregiver, and a backup — built in from day one.

  • RN-built care plan, updated quarterly
  • Primary + backup caregiver assigned
  • W-2 employees, fully insured
  • Background-checked, TB-tested, CPR-certified
  • 40+ hours pre-employment training
  • 24/7 on-call clinical line
  • Family portal with shift notes
  • Coordinated with your doctors & hospital

Common questions

When families call us first.

How quickly can senior home care actually start in San Diego?
For most cases in San Diego County, Carevider can start care within 24–48 hours of the initial call. For hospital discharges and crisis situations, same-day starts are common. We maintain a 24/7 intake line and on-call RN team specifically for urgent needs, and we keep capacity reserved each week for short-notice starts.
What does an RN in-home assessment include?
A registered nurse visits the home for 60–90 minutes to evaluate six areas: activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, eating), mobility and fall risk, cognition and memory, medication management, home safety, and family caregiver capacity. You receive a written care plan with recommended hours, level of care, and an honest cost estimate — at no charge and with no obligation.
Do I need a doctor's referral to start home care?
No. Non-medical home care does not require a doctor's order or referral. You or any family member can initiate services directly. If your loved one is being discharged from a hospital, we coordinate directly with the discharge planner and clinical team — but the decision to begin care is yours, not theirs.
Can care be temporary, or do I have to commit long-term?
Care can be as short as a few days or as long as several years. Many families start with post-hospital recovery (2–4 weeks) or respite for a vacationing family caregiver (1–2 weeks). There is no minimum commitment beyond the 4-hour shift minimum, and you can adjust or end care with 48 hours' notice.
What if my loved one refuses help?
This is one of the most common situations we navigate. Our RN care managers are trained to introduce care gently — often starting with a "companion" rather than a "caregiver," focusing on activities the senior enjoys (meals, walks, errands) rather than the tasks they resist (bathing, medication). Most reluctant seniors accept help within 1–2 weeks when the introduction is handled this way.

Whatever's happening — we've seen it, and we can help.
