About Encino

Encino, a Valley Neighborhood Shaped by Oaks

Encino is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley, where families have built their lives for generations. Hillside streets, oak-lined avenues near Ventura Boulevard, and a genuine sense of community define this distinctive part of the Valley.

Did you know? Encino takes its name from the Spanish word for oak, a nod to the oak groves and natural springs still preserved at Los Encinos State Historic Park, one of the oldest historic sites in the San Fernando Valley.

As a home care agency in Encino, we know families here value privacy, quality, and personal attention, and that not every senior has the same mobility, family support, or living situation. We provide home care throughout Encino, including neighborhoods surrounding Los Encinos State Historic Park, the Encino Commons shopping district along Ventura Boulevard, and the hillside streets near Mulholland Drive.

From supporting active, independent seniors to helping those with more complex daily needs, we shape our non-medical, in-home senior care around the rhythm of Encino life. We also help families near Encino Hospital Medical Center plan for a safer transition home after a hospital stay. Learn more About Us, or Contact Us to get started.

In-Home Care Choices for Encino Families

True Amore is a home care agency in Encino offering flexible, non-medical home care built around your family's needs and schedule, from a few hours of companionship each week to live-in care or 24-hour care through rotating caregivers.

Personal Care With Dignity and Discretion

True Amore's personal care in Encino focuses on the daily tasks that can become difficult with age, always delivered with dignity and discretion. Our caregivers assist with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and mobility, while also supporting meal preparation and light housekeeping so your parent's home stays comfortable and well kept. As a home care agency in Encino, we match each client with a caregiver suited to their personality and care level, not just their diagnosis. Whether your loved one needs a few hours of help each week near Ventura Boulevard or daily hands-on support, our team builds a plan around their existing routine and preferences. With your family's permission, we can coordinate with physicians and family members so nothing falls through the cracks. If your parent is managing a chronic condition or simply needs more support with everyday activities, our caregivers in Encino are ready to help them stay independent at home.

Companion Care for Fuller Days

Companion care in Encino is about more than supervision, it's about genuine connection. Isolation and loneliness can affect seniors living alone, and our companion caregivers are there to share meals, play cards, or simply talk through the day. Many Encino clients enjoy a visit to the Encino Commons shopping district, an outing to Encino Golf Course, a walk around nearby Lake Balboa, or an afternoon at Balboa Sports Center, planned around their mobility and with a familiar caregiver by their side. This senior home care service also includes light housekeeping, meal prep, transportation to appointments, and gentle reminders for medications and hydration. Companion care works well as a standalone service for active seniors who want company and a helping hand, or as a complement to more hands-on personal care as needs increase over time. Our caregivers get to know each client's interests and routines, so the relationship feels like genuine friendship.

Dementia Care That Eases Confusion

Caring for a loved one with dementia requires patience, consistency, and specialized training, and that's what our dementia care in Encino provides. Our caregivers are trained in dementia-care approaches that can help ease agitation and confusion through calm, predictable routines, and they stay attentive to wandering risks. Every stage brings different challenges, so our memory care at home plans adjust as your parent's needs change. Beyond hands-on support, caregivers provide meaningful engagement through music, familiar activities, and gentle conversation. Families throughout Encino, Sherman Oaks, and Tarzana can count on caregivers who pair dementia-care training with genuine compassion. If managing a parent's memory loss feels overwhelming, we can also provide respite care so you get a much-needed break, whether your loved one lives near the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area or anywhere else in Encino, and eligible families may also explore the Medicare GUIDE model described below.

Alzheimer's Care Through Each Stage

Alzheimer's care in Encino adapts as your loved one's needs shift over months and years. Early on, a caregiver might keep calendars and appointments organized, cook alongside your loved one, and encourage the walks, hobbies, and visits that keep them engaged. As memory and judgment change, help usually becomes more hands-on, including patient assistance with bathing, dressing, meals, and moving safely between rooms, with extra time given when a familiar task suddenly feels confusing. In the later stages, the focus turns to comfort, gentle repositioning and personal care, and a soothing home environment. Whenever possible, we keep the same caregiver in place, because a recognizable face can make each day feel safer. Caregivers also pass along what they notice about sleep, appetite, and mood, so your family has helpful details to share with your loved one's physician, and we can talk through overnight, live-in, or 24-hour care when the time comes.

Respite Care for Encino Family Caregivers

Family caregivers in Encino often juggle work, children, and a parent's needs all at once, and even the most devoted caregiver needs time away. Respite care in Encino offers dependable coverage so you can rest, handle errands along Ventura Boulevard, keep your own medical appointments, or travel. Coverage can be a few hours, a standing day each week, or several days in a row. A True Amore caregiver steps into your loved one's familiar routine, handling meals, medication reminders, personal care, and favorite pastimes, so their day stays steady while you're gone. Scheduling breaks before burnout sets in can help you stay patient and healthy for the long run. Respite is also a gentle introduction to in-home care, giving your loved one time to build trust with a caregiver before more support is needed, and it can be paired with companion, dementia, or Alzheimer's care.

Live-In Care With Required Breaks

Live-in care in Encino provides extended support from a caregiver who stays in the home while receiving required rest and off-duty periods. It can be a good option for seniors who need substantial daily assistance but do not require uninterrupted supervision. A live-in caregiver gets to know your parent's habits, preferences, and routines closely, which builds trust and makes daily life feel calmer. This private home care option can be especially valuable for seniors managing Parkinson's, adjusting after a stroke, or living with dementia, where a familiar presence supports comfort and consistency. Live-in caregivers help with personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and mobility assistance, while also providing companionship throughout the day. Families near Encino Commons, Ventura Boulevard, and throughout Encino often appreciate having one steady caregiver in the home. When continuous supervision is needed, True Amore can arrange 24-hour care through rotating caregivers.

Overnight Care for Safer Evenings

Nighttime hours can bring added risk for seniors who are prone to falls, confusion, or wandering, which is why many families ask about overnight care in Encino. An awake overnight caregiver provides hands-on assistance with bathroom trips, repositioning, medication reminders, and getting safely in and out of bed, offering everyday assistance that can help reduce fall risk during the night. For clients living with dementia or Alzheimer's, a caregiver's calm presence overnight can also ease the anxiety that sometimes comes with darkness and disorientation. This in-home senior care service gives family caregivers, who are often worn down from constant worry, the chance to actually sleep through the night knowing their parent isn't alone. Shifts can be scheduled a few nights a week or every night, and combined with daytime personal or companion care for more complete coverage. If your parent needs someone present at all hours, we can discuss 24-hour care through rotating caregivers.

24-Hour Home Care With Shift Handoffs

When a parent's needs go beyond what a single caregiver or a few scheduled visits can safely cover, 24-hour home care in Encino provides continuous support through a rotating team of caregivers who work scheduled shifts. No single caregiver works around the clock, so each person stays rested and attentive, and caregivers share updates at every handoff. This works well for seniors recovering from surgery or a hospital stay, living with advanced dementia, or managing complex daily needs. We coordinate caregiver schedules so your parent has familiar faces nearby. Throughout every shift, caregivers help with personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and light housekeeping. Whether 24-hour care follows a discharge from Encino Hospital Medical Center or another nearby provider, alongside our post-hospital home care, or serves as a long-term plan for aging in place, our team builds a schedule that keeps your loved one comfortable and never alone.

Post-Hospital Care in Encino

The days after a hospital stay, surgery, or rehab can feel like a lot to manage, with discharge instructions, new prescriptions, and follow-up appointments arriving all at once. Our post-hospital home care in Encino offers non-medical support during that transition, whether your loved one is coming home from Encino Hospital Medical Center or another facility. True Amore is not affiliated with these facilities. Caregivers can help with bathing, dressing, meals, light housekeeping, mobility within the care plan, medication reminders, and rides to follow-up visits, and can offer encouragement with an established home exercise routine, within the caregiver's scope and care plan. Our caregivers do not provide nursing, physical therapy, or medical rehabilitation. With the client's or authorized representative's permission, our team can keep family members, discharge planners, and home health providers informed. Support can be short-term or ongoing, helping support a safer recovery at home.

Our Expertise

Everyday Challenges We Help Encino Seniors Manage

Every family's situation is different, but these are some of the most common needs we help Encino families navigate.

Memory Loss, Handled Gently

From early memory lapses to more advanced stages, caregivers use structured routines and calm redirection to help ease confusion and anxiety.

Lowering Fall Risk at Home

Help with transfers and walking according to the care plan, whether at home or on a stroll around Lake Balboa, can help reduce fall risk, and caregivers report observed concerns to the family and agency supervisor.

Stroke Recovery Support at Home

Mobility assistance, help with daily tasks, and encouragement with an established home exercise routine, within the caregiver's scope and care plan.

Adapting to Parkinson's

Parkinson's symptoms can change day to day, so caregivers stay flexible with mobility, medication reminders, and daily tasks, according to the care plan.

Recovering After Discharge

After a hospital discharge from Encino Hospital Medical Center or a nearby facility, caregivers help with mobility, routines, and medication reminders to support a safer recovery at home.

Steady Medication Reminders

Friendly prompts support consistent medication-reminder routines within the caregiver's role and care plan.

Aging in a Familiar Home

Most seniors want to stay in the home they love, and the right level of support can make aging in place in Encino more manageable.

Safe Movement, Indoors and Out

From safe transfers to steady support on stairs to a walk near Balboa Sports Center, caregivers help preserve independence and help reduce fall risk.

Veterans Care

Non-Medical Care for Encino Veterans

Many veterans in Encino and across the San Fernando Valley hope to stay in their own homes as they age, close to family and familiar routines. Non-medical veterans home care can help with bathing, dressing, meals, and mobility, provide companionship and transportation, and give a spouse or family caregiver time to rest.

VA Community Care Network: True Amore Home Care is approved to provide care through the VA Community Care Network (CCN). Eligible veterans may be able to access covered home care support through the VA Community Care Network. The VA determines eligibility and covered services based on each veteran's circumstances, so not every veteran qualifies and not every service is covered. True Amore does not determine VA eligibility.

If you're caring for a veteran in Encino or a nearby community, we can explain how the Community Care Network generally works and how our services may fit into a plan for remaining at home where appropriate. Call 323-615-3964 to learn more about eligibility and available services, or explore our veterans home care services.

Medicare GUIDE Program

Dementia Care Support and Medicare GUIDE in Encino

Families supporting a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer's disease often look for education, coordination, and time to recharge. The Medicare GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) model is a Medicare program designed to help eligible people living with dementia and their caregivers access additional support, which may include care coordination, caregiver education, and respite services. GUIDE services are delivered through participating program providers and are separate from the non-medical caregiving True Amore provides.

Important: Not every Medicare beneficiary qualifies for GUIDE, and a dementia diagnosis alone does not guarantee eligibility. Enrollment is not automatic, and the model does not cover every home care service. Eligibility is determined through the program, not by True Amore Home Care. We can explain how GUIDE may work alongside our dementia care, Alzheimer's care, and respite care for families in Encino.

Whether your loved one was recently diagnosed or you've been caring for them for years, we're glad to help you understand your options. Contact True Amore Home Care to learn more, and read our Medicare GUIDE Program guide for details on what the program may and may not cover.

Questions Encino Families Often Ask

Cost depends on the type of care, the schedule, and your parent's individual needs. We offer flexible options, from a few hours of companion care each week to live-in support or continuous 24-hour care provided through rotating caregivers. We start with a complimentary assessment so you know what to expect before care begins. Long-term care insurance may apply — our Long-Term Care Insurance Guide explains how coverage typically works, and our Medicare GUIDE Program guide covers what Medicare does and doesn't typically pay for when it comes to home care.
True Amore Home Care is able to start care within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the client's needs, requested schedule, location, and caregiver availability. For urgent situations, such as a hospital discharge from Encino Hospital Medical Center or another Valley hospital, we move as quickly as safely possible to help keep care continuous for your loved one.
Live-in care provides extended support from a caregiver who stays in the home while receiving required rest and off-duty periods. It can be a good option for seniors who need substantial daily assistance but do not require uninterrupted supervision. When continuous supervision is needed, True Amore can arrange 24-hour care through rotating caregivers who work scheduled shifts.
Absolutely. Every caregiver is thoroughly screened, background checked, and trained. As a licensed California Home Care Organization (HCO #194701217), your family's safety is our top priority and never optional.
Yes. Our caregivers are trained in dementia and Alzheimer's care, using patient, structured approaches that support dignity, safety, and calm through every stage. Care remains non-medical and is adjusted as needs change.
Companion care focuses on conversation, activities, light housekeeping, and reducing isolation for seniors who are largely independent but shouldn't be alone all day. Personal care includes those same benefits plus hands-on help with bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility. Many families start with companion care and add personal care as needs increase, and our caregivers can adjust the plan as your parent's situation changes.
No. True Amore provides non-medical home care, which means our caregivers assist with daily living tasks, companionship, mobility, and household support. We don't perform medical procedures, administer injections, provide physical therapy, or manage treatment plans. With your family's permission, we coordinate around your parent's existing doctors and home health providers rather than replacing them.
Yes. Many families start with respite care, a short trial period, or reduced hours to see how the fit works. We're flexible and work with you to build confidence and comfort with your caregiver.
Home care can't guarantee outcomes, but everyday support can make a real difference. Caregivers help with safe transfers and walking according to the care plan, provide consistent medication reminders, and offer supervision that can help reduce fall risk. We also work closely with families managing a hospital discharge from Encino Hospital Medical Center to help support a safer recovery at home.
Many long-term care insurance policies include benefits for non-medical home care, and our team is happy to help you understand what your policy may cover. Coverage depends on your specific plan. Our Long-Term Care Insurance Guide explains how coverage typically works.
Yes. We proudly provide compassionate home care for veterans throughout Encino, Sherman Oaks, Tarzana, Van Nuys, Studio City, Woodland Hills, and surrounding San Fernando Valley communities. Our team can help you explore VA benefits that may help pay for non-medical home care services, including personal care, companionship, dementia care, Alzheimer's care, respite care, and post-hospital support. If you're not sure what benefits you qualify for, we'll gladly discuss your options during a free care assessment. Eligibility depends on each veteran's circumstances and VA determination; learn more about our veterans home care services.
Generally, Original Medicare does not pay for non-medical home care, such as help with bathing, dressing, or companionship, when that is the only care someone needs. Medicare may cover certain short-term, medically necessary home health services ordered by a doctor, which differ from the non-medical care True Amore provides. The Medicare GUIDE model is a separate program that may help eligible people living with dementia and their caregivers access support such as care coordination, caregiver education, and respite. Eligibility is determined through the program, not by True Amore. Our Medicare GUIDE Program guide explains more.
We start with a free in-home or phone assessment to understand your parent's personality, routine, needs, and preferences. From there, we select a caregiver whose experience and temperament fit the situation, not just the first available match. If the pairing isn't quite right, we'll work with you to adjust it, because a good relationship between caregiver and client is central to quality care.
Yes. Along with Encino, we support families in Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, Studio City, Valley Village, North Hollywood, Tarzana, and Woodland Hills. Call 323-615-3964 to confirm coverage for your address, or see our full Areas We Serve list above.
