Helping East Bay Seniors Stay Safe in the Homes They Love
Your parent deserves to grow older in the home they know, among familiar streets and the routines of a lifetime. Personalized East Bay home care helps make that possible. Our caregivers give hands-on help that keeps both their safety and their independence intact. We serve families from Oakland and the Berkeley hills to Danville, Pleasanton, and Livermore in the Tri-Valley.
Family Matters In-Home Care began with a personal commitment to caregiving, not a corporate plan. Our founder, Carol Pardue-Spears, started the agency in 2002, after nearly two decades of hands-on patient care. She built a local service rooted in warmth, trust, and dignity. That same standard guides every caregiver we send into an East Bay home today.
We take time to learn your loved one’s personality, routines, and preferences before we match them with a caregiver. With that thoughtful approach, companion care feels less like a service and more like the company of someone who truly knows them.
"Trustworthy, attentive and family-oriented."

Frequently Asked Questions From
Families in East Bay
Cost depends on how many hours your loved one needs and the type of daily support involved. We give clear, upfront numbers before care begins, so nothing on the bill catches you off guard. A free consultation is the fastest way to get an estimate for your situation.
Many East Bay families use long-term care insurance or Veterans benefits toward the cost of home care. We will walk you through what your policy covers and help with the paperwork. If you are unsure what applies, we can review your options together.
Family Matters provides non-medical home care, which means help with daily living rather than nursing or clinical treatment. Our caregivers help with bathing, meals, mobility, companionship, and reminders. If your loved one also needs medical care, we can work alongside their visiting nurses or therapists.
Care needs rarely stay the same, so your plan can change as they do. We can add hours after a hospital stay, adjust for a new diagnosis, or scale back as your loved one improves. Usually one phone call is all it takes to update the schedule.
Let's Find the Right Care for Your Family
Your parents deserve to feel comfortable and cared for in the home they love. We will build a care plan that supports their independence at home. Hands-on help and genuine companionship keep them safe and content. Whenever you feel ready, a simple conversation is the place to begin.
