In-Home Care in Atherton, CA

Atherton homes tend to sit on large, quiet lots, and that privacy is part of what makes the town special. It can also mean long hallways, stairs, big yards and neighbors who aren’t a quick walk away. For an older adult who wants to stay in the family home, the right support is often a steady, consistent caregiver, sometimes for a few hours a day and sometimes around the clock.

CareMo provides non-medical home care in Atherton, including live-in and 24-hour care for people who shouldn’t be alone. We’re a licensed California Home Care Organization (HCO #414700111), founded by a family who cared for their own parents, and Atherton is on our Peninsula service list. MORE than just care, FAMILY care.

Neighborhoods we serve in Atherton

• Lindenwood in the northeast
• West Atherton
• Lloyden Park
• The streets around Holbrook-Palmer Park on Watkins Avenue

We also serve neighboring Menlo Park, Redwood City and Palo Alto.

Holbrook-Palmer Park, the town’s public park at 150 Watkins Avenue, is a pleasant spot for a supervised walk with a CareMo companion. For social programs, the closest options are just across the border in Menlo Park: the Little House Activity Center (800 Middle Avenue, run by Peninsula Volunteers) and the Menlo Park Senior Center at the Belle Haven Community Campus.

Coming home from the hospital

Hospitals near Atherton include Sequoia Hospital on Alameda de las Pulgas and Kaiser Permanente Redwood City Medical Center on Veterans Boulevard, both in Redwood City, and Stanford Hospital on Pasteur Drive.

When a loved one comes home in a large house, the first nights are often what worries families most. A live-in CareMo caregiver can be there around the clock, giving medication reminders, preparing meals, helping with bathing and dressing, so no one has to manage the stairs alone in the middle of the night. For shorter recoveries, hourly care covers the busiest parts of the day.

Call us as soon as you know the discharge date. Our office is open seven days a week, and once a contract is in place, care can usually begin that same day.
