Are you looking for referrals to good in-home care services in the Pittsburg, CA area?

While specific provider recommendations aren't available here, there are several ways to find quality in-home care options for Parkinson's:

Resources to explore:
- Contact your local Area Agency on Aging, which can connect you with home care services in your area
- Use the Eldercare Locator (a government service) to find local resources
- Ask your neurologist or healthcare team for referrals to trusted home care agencies
- Check with the American Parkinson Disease Association and Parkinson's Foundation for caregiver resources

Consider multiple care options:
A MyParkinsonsTeam member shared their experience using a variety of caregivers including VA benefits, hospice, private caregivers, and help from friends and family. This combination provided support while giving their primary caregiver needed breaks.

If you're a veteran, you may qualify for VA benefits that include home care services. Community health centers in your area might also offer information about local caregiving resources.

Talking with a social worker can help you explore all available options for intermittent, part-time, or full-time home care that fits your specific needs.
