Preferred Care at Home of Folsom & El Dorado Hills

Preferred Care at Home of Folsom and El Dorado Hills provides in-home care services in Folsom, California, serving seniors who wish to age in place within their own homes. Since 1984, the company has offered compassionate caregiving throughout the greater Sacramento area, including El Dorado County.

The agency provides a range of non-medical and medical care services tailored to individual needs. Personal care assistance includes help with bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, toileting, and medication reminders. Homemaker services cover meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, and errands. Companion care addresses loneliness through genuine social interaction and emotional support, whether through walks along the American River Parkway, visits to Historic Old Town Folsom, or shared meals at home. Specialized services include Alzheimer's and dementia care, live-in 24-hour care, hospice support, post-hospital discharge coaching, and skilled nursing coordination for families with complex medical needs.

Preferred Care at Home uses a 7-step caregiver screening process that includes background checks, reference checks, and skills assessments. Caregivers are matched by personality and compatibility rather than availability alone. The agency employs experienced professionals, including certified nursing assistants and home health aides. Families receive real-time access to schedules, caregiver notes, and updates through a Transparency Room portal.

The local office is independently owned and operated by Hardeep Mand, who brings healthcare finance expertise, financial and operational management, and personal understanding of family caregiving decisions. Clients speak directly with the local owner from their first call, and home consultations are conducted to understand specific needs and preferences. Care can typically begin within days, with flexible scheduling from a few hours per week to round-the-clock coverage and no long-term contract requirement.

Preferred Care at Home serves specific neighborhoods in the area, including Serrano, Empire Ranch, Cameron Park, and El Dorado Hills Town Center. The agency addresses regional challenges such as the geographic spread of medical appointments and errands across El Dorado County and Sacramento, multi-level homes where mobility and bathing present safety concerns, and lengthy waiting lists for county-funded programs.
