Seniors overwhelmingly want to stay in the comfort of their own home as they age. Our home is filled with memories and it’s what we’ve created over the years with our loved-ones. In Home Care has become a wonderful way that families can honor the wishes of their loved ones by keeping them at home as long as possible. When additional help is needed, in home care support can be an invaluable resource helping seniors maintain their independence and dignity in the environment they are most comfortable in.
Often times I am asked why someone should choose Your Home Care to provide home care assistance for a loved one. My response is always the same, our company will always look for ways to exceed your expectations and provide a personal touch and meaningful interactions. We go above and beyond to ensure our clients get the best care and feel loved and supported by the our wonderful caregiver team.

Each case is unique and each client presents an opportunity for us to find ways to exceed expectations. It could be preparing a special home-cooked meal, going on a favorite outing, baking a birthday cake for the special day, playing cards, reminiscing, taking them out to their favorite places, or simply being there to hold their hand. In many cases our loving caregivers become like family.
We recently spoke to Segal Ronen, President of Your Home Care Inc. about what they do and the benefits of home care services.
Q: Tell us a little bit about Your Home Care and what it is that you do.
A: At Your Home Care, our mission is to enrich the quality of life for seniors by providing compassionate caregiving services at home. We have been in business since 2002 and have roots in the community. Our agency is licensed, insured and bonded, all our amazing caregivers are vetted, trained and background checked. We service most areas of Orange County, CA with a concentration in Laguna Woods and the surrounding cities. And we also work seamlessly with all Long-Term Care Insurance plans. We are passionate about making lives better for the seniors entrusted into our care.
Q: What is the biggest gift or or blessing that you see while providing care for seniors?
A: The culture we have created here at Your Home Care is that of kindness, and compassion. The most important thing we can offer families is that we honor the people we are entrusted to care for. Our caregivers become an important part of their lives, providing connection and consistency that they lean on for support. There is nothing we enjoy more than to see our clients smiles when they are being loved and cared for. It is a gift to see our caregivers make such a positive impact in their lives.
Q: Can you tell us about the industry trend and your place in it?
A: The senior home care industry is growing and changing. The trend we are seeing is an increase in rates, add-on fees and lengthy minimum hour requirements. At Your Home Care we don’t have lengthy minimum hour requirements, nor do we up-charge. We make every effort to be as accommodating and flexible as possible to meet the needs of our clients. We are responsive and available to our clients and caregivers when they need us. We act quickly to address and resolve any issue or concern. And we strive to provide care for as many seniors as we can.
Q: How many hours does a typical home care client start with?
A: The hours vary based on the needs of the client. Some clients like to start with a four-hour, or a six-hour shift a couple of times per week. Others know they will need more care and schedule 12-24 hour days. We do our best to accommodate the needs of our clients. We work with many clients coming home from the hospital, or skilled nursing facility who require 24 hour live in care as they work to regain their strength. Another important aspect of scheduling is establishing consistency and dependability for the families we serve. We work hard to have the same caregivers work with our clients whenever possible in order to build rapport and strong relationships. We want our clients to light up when their favorite caregiver walks through the door. It’s a very special bond.
Q: Tell us about the team at Your Home Care.
A: Employees and clients say they appreciate working with us because they can see and feel that we care. They have access to the president of the company when needed and can see just how important they are to us. I, Segal, directly oversee everything from client acquisition, employee hiring, scheduling and office administration. But the real magic behind what we do is the talented, experienced and warm team of caregivers we have the pleasure of working alongside. Our team is filled with special people and it’s apparent they genuinely love what they do and have “a calling” for this work. They are service-minded, kind, loving people, who truly enjoy caring for seniors as though they are family. They love to share their client stories with us and love the time they spend with our seniors, learning about their lives.
Q: What types of services does home care typically cover?
A: We offer a wide range of non-medical home care services and customize a unique and personalized care plan for every client. These services include services such as bathing, dressing, bathroom assistance and other personal hygiene needs. We prepare meals, provide transportation for outings, Dr. appointments, and grocery shopping, as well as help with light housekeeping duties. We assist with mobility and fall prevention, helping seniors with all the activities of normal daily living they might need a hand with. Companionship and social engagement is another key aspect of what we do. Some of our seniors feel isolated and lonely or may not have family close by, so a caregiver becomes a friend to talk to and their bond is lasting. Additionally seniors with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or Dementia can benefit greatly from a caregiver who is experienced in cognitive impairments and understands the challenges they face. They are trained on the techniques used to manage behavior, keeping them safe and well supervised.
Q: What makes Your Home Care stand out above others?
A: It’s our love for the people we get to serve. We absolutely enjoy that we get to make lives better and help preserve dignity for seniors who are not able to have the autonomy over the lives and bodies the same way they used to. We truly cherish being able to support the family members who can’t always be there and want to know their loved ones are safe, cared for and enjoying life while they are not together. It comes back to our mission…to provide kind, compassionate home care services that enrich families’ lives.
