Home care in Auburn, Placer County

In-home care for Auburn, the county seat in the foothills

Auburn is the northern edge of our service area and one of the oldest communities in Placer County, in both senses. Our caregivers serve Old Town, downtown, North Auburn and the neighborhoods off Highway 49 and Bell Road, about 25 minutes from our office on Interstate 80.

What we know about caring for people in Auburn

Auburn sits at about 1,200 feet in the Sierra foothills, and that shows up in home care in practical ways: hillside lots, steps to the front door, winter mornings with frost, and homes that were built in the 1950s through 1980s with narrow bathrooms and no thought given to walkers. It is also a town with a strong retiree population and a real sense of community, anchored by Old Town, the courthouse and Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital.

Auburn has established home care providers, and we respect that. What we bring is a younger, locally owned agency with a licensed owner who does the assessments herself, caregivers who are employees, and a plan you can verify on the state's website before you sign anything.

About 25 minutes from our office in Roseville, CA via Interstate 80.

Care patterns

What Auburn families most often need

Hills, steps and older bathrooms

Auburn's housing stock and terrain make fall prevention the first conversation. Our assessment covers the walk from the car to the front door as carefully as the bathroom.

Post-hospital care from Sutter Auburn Faith

Auburn residents discharged from Sutter Auburn Faith often go home to hillside houses with nobody there during the day. Short-term transitional care covers the first two weeks.

Independent people who want to stay that way

Auburn retirees tend to be active, outdoorsy and stubborn about it. Care plans here work best when they support the client's routine rather than replace it.

Questions

Auburn questions

Is Auburn really in your service area, or is it a stretch?

It is in our area. Auburn is about 25 minutes from our office and several of our caregivers live in the foothills. We would rather tell you honestly if a specific schedule is hard to staff than overpromise.

Can you help after a stay at Sutter Auburn Faith?

Yes. Call us before discharge if possible and we will build the plan from the discharge instructions.

Do you serve Meadow Vista or Colfax?

Sometimes, depending on caregiver availability and the schedule. Call and ask; we will give you a direct answer.
