Situational Help Index — Find the right help by situation: hospital discharge, urgent placement, far-away caregiving, sibling disagreements, more.
Find help by your situation
Every family's path to senior care is different. Here are the most common situations we help with — click any to learn more, or call us and describe what's happening.
Hospital discharge — need care fast
The hospital is pushing for discharge within 24–72 hours. We help families find available, appropriate placement quickly — including Medi-Cal options if budget is tight.
Memory care / Alzheimer's diagnosis
A new dementia diagnosis changes what care looks like. We explain the difference between RCFE memory care units and secured facilities, and what triggers the move.
Exploring assisted living options
Not sure if assisted living is the right step? We help families understand what RCFE (Residential Care Facility for the Elderly) covers, what it costs, and how to evaluate a facility.
Budget concerns — Medi-Cal / low income
California's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) pays for care in an RCFE for eligible Medi-Cal recipients. Availability is limited — we know which San Diego facilities accept it.
Staying at home — in-home care / IHSS
Many families prefer to keep a parent at home. We help coordinate IHSS applications and connect families with licensed home health agencies in San Diego County.
Managing from out of state
You're in another state and a parent needs help in San Diego. We act as your eyes and ears — touring facilities, attending care conferences, and keeping you informed.
