About Pacific Palisades

Familiarity With Pacific Palisades and Its Westside Neighbors

Pacific Palisades is a coastal community within the City of Los Angeles, set on bluffs and hillsides between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Sunset Boulevard runs through its heart, connecting neighborhoods such as the Alphabet Streets, the Riviera, the Huntington Palisades, Marquez Knolls, and the Highlands, while Pacific Coast Highway follows the shoreline below. It's a close-knit, family-oriented place where many older adults have lived for decades and hope to stay.

Did you know? Pacific Palisades borders Brentwood, Santa Monica, Topanga, and Malibu, and its surroundings include open space such as Temescal Canyon and Will Rogers State Historic Park, the former ranch of humorist Will Rogers.

As a licensed home care agency serving Pacific Palisades, we know daily life here often centers on the village area around Sunset Boulevard and Swarthmore Avenue, local community groups and places of worship, and appointments in nearby Santa Monica, home to Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health Santa Monica Medical Center. For seniors who no longer drive, or who live along winding hillside streets, getting to those places can take real planning. Non-medical home care fills that gap with transportation, companionship, and consistent help at home.

Whether your loved one lives near the village, up in the Highlands, or along the bluffs above the coast, our caregivers build a plan around their routine rather than a one-size-fits-all package. Learn more About Us, or Contact Us to get started.

Services

Home Care Services for Pacific Palisades Seniors

True Amore is a licensed home care agency serving Pacific Palisades with non-medical care that fits your loved one's needs and your family's schedule, from a few visits each week to live-in support or 24-hour care through rotating caregivers.

Personal Care in Pacific Palisades

Personal care in Pacific Palisades gives your loved one dependable help with the daily routines that keep them feeling like themselves. Caregivers assist with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and safe transfers, and can prepare meals and keep up with light housekeeping between visits. Homes in the Palisades range from single-level houses near the village to multi-story hillside properties, so we consider stairs, bathroom layouts, and how your loved one gets around when we build the plan. Some clients need a caregiver only for morning and evening routines, while others benefit from support throughout the day. With your family's permission, our care team can coordinate around your loved one's existing doctors, including physicians affiliated with UCLA Health or Providence Saint John's Health Center, and keep you updated after visits. As needs change, we revisit the plan with you so support stays matched to where your loved one is today.

Companion Care in Pacific Palisades

Companion care in Pacific Palisades is for seniors who manage much of their day independently but would benefit from regular company and practical help. Many longtime Palisades residents have seen children move away or lost a spouse, and quiet days can slowly become isolating. A companion caregiver brings conversation, shared meals, card games, reading, and hobbies back into the week, and can join your loved one for errands around the village, coffee with an old friend, a neighborhood walk, or a drive along the coast when appropriate. Companion care also covers meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and transportation to appointments in Santa Monica or elsewhere on the Westside. It works well as a standalone service or as a first step before adding personal care. Because caregivers take time to learn each client's stories and interests, visits come to feel like time with a trusted friend.

Dementia Care in Pacific Palisades

Our dementia care in Pacific Palisades helps a loved one living with memory loss feel safe, calm, and oriented in their own home. Caregivers trained in dementia care use steady routines, clear and gentle communication, and redirection to help ease confusion and agitation. Many Palisades homes sit on hillsides or near canyon and bluff areas, so caregivers stay alert to wandering risk and follow the safety routines your family has established, such as keeping doors secured and walkways clear. Meaningful activity is part of every visit, whether that means listening to favorite music, sorting old photographs, simple cooking together, or a short walk when appropriate. As the condition progresses, we update the plan with you rather than waiting for a crisis. Families caring for someone with dementia in Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, and Brentwood often pair this support with respite care, and eligible families may also want to learn about the Medicare GUIDE model described below.

Alzheimer's Care in Pacific Palisades

Alzheimer's care in Pacific Palisades adapts as the disease moves through its stages. In the early stage, your loved one may need gentle reminders, companionship, and help keeping up with social connections and favorite pastimes. As needs increase, caregivers provide more hands-on help with bathing, dressing, eating, and moving safely through the home, always at your loved one's pace. We prioritize consistency and keep a familiar caregiver in place whenever possible, because recognizing a trusted face can ease anxiety. Caregivers structure each day around regular mealtimes, rest, and calming activities, which may help with the late-day restlessness many families notice. We also stay in close contact with you, sharing what caregivers observe and helping you plan ahead, whether that means adding overnight support, moving to live-in care, or arranging 24-hour care through rotating caregivers. The goal is comfort, dignity, and connection at home for as long as it remains the right setting.

Respite Care in Pacific Palisades

Being the main caregiver for your parent, spouse or family member is a meaningful role, but it can quietly take over your life. Respite care in Pacific Palisades gives you dependable time away, whether you need a few hours for your own appointments, a day to handle work or errands across the Westside, or several days of coverage while you travel. A trained True Amore caregiver follows your loved one's established routine for meals, medication reminders, personal care, and activities so the day feels familiar. Some families set a standing weekly respite day to help prevent burnout, while others call on us for occasional support. Respite care also offers a comfortable introduction to True Amore, letting your loved one get to know a caregiver before you decide on a longer-term plan, and it can be combined with companion, dementia, or Alzheimer's care.

Live-In Care in Pacific Palisades

Live-in care in Pacific Palisades 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 single, consistent caregiver comes to understand your loved one's habits, preferences, and rhythms, which often makes daily life feel steadier and more personal. Live-in caregivers help with personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and companionship throughout the day. For families managing care from elsewhere on the Westside or out of the area, live-in care can also simplify scheduling compared with coordinating several hourly visits. It may suit seniors living with Parkinson's, early to moderate dementia, or reduced mobility. When continuous supervision is needed, True Amore can arrange 24-hour care through rotating caregivers, so no one caregiver is expected to stay on duty without breaks.

Overnight Care in Pacific Palisades

Overnight care in Pacific Palisades offers support during the hours when families often worry most. Getting up in the dark, restlessness, and nighttime confusion can all raise concerns, especially for seniors living with dementia or those who feel unsteady on stairs. An overnight caregiver can help with bathroom trips, repositioning, medication reminders, and safe movement around the home, which can help reduce fall risk while the household sleeps. For a loved one with memory loss, a calm presence overnight can make evenings feel less unsettling. Overnight care also allows spouses and adult children to get the uninterrupted sleep they need to keep going. Shifts can be scheduled a few nights a week or every night, and paired with daytime companion or personal care for fuller coverage. If your loved one needs someone present at all hours, we can talk through 24-hour care provided through rotating caregivers.

24-Hour Home Care in Pacific Palisades

24-hour home care in Pacific Palisades is for seniors who need someone present and attentive at every hour. Continuous coverage is provided by a team of rotating caregivers who work scheduled shifts, so no individual caregiver is asked to remain on duty around the clock. Caregivers share observations at each handoff about meals, rest, mood, and routines, helping keep care consistent from one shift to the next. Around-the-clock care may be appropriate for a loved one with advanced dementia, significant mobility limitations, or complex daily care needs, or during a period when your family simply needs closer support. It includes personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility assistance, light housekeeping, and companionship. We work to keep a small, familiar group of caregivers assigned so your loved one comes to recognize each of them. Whether 24-hour care is a long-term plan to age in place in Pacific Palisades or a temporary arrangement while your family considers next steps, we build it around your loved one.

Post-Hospital and Hospital-to-Home Care in Pacific Palisades

The move from hospital to home can feel uncertain, and our post-hospital and hospital-to-home care in Pacific Palisades provides non-medical support during those first days and weeks. Many Palisades residents receive hospital care in nearby Santa Monica, at facilities such as Providence Saint John's Health Center or UCLA Health Santa Monica Medical Center. Once your loved one is home, caregivers can help with everyday activities, mobility assistance within the care plan, meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship. They can also support the client's established recovery routine, including offering encouragement with an established home exercise routine, within the caregiver's scope and care plan. True Amore does not provide nursing, physical therapy, or medical rehabilitation, and we are not affiliated with these hospitals. With the client's or authorized representative's permission, our team can communicate with family members, discharge planners, and home health providers so everyone stays on the same page. Support can be short-term or continue longer if ongoing needs are identified, helping support a safer recovery at home.

Serving the Westside and coast: Our caregivers also serve neighboring communities including Santa Monica, Brentwood, Topanga, and Malibu, so families spread across the Westside can work with one agency they already know.

Many families reach out when a parent who has lived in the Palisades for decades needs more help at home, when a spouse has been quietly carrying the caregiving load, or when adult children living elsewhere want a trusted person checking in regularly. We begin with a free assessment, learn how your loved one likes to spend their days, and match a caregiver whose experience and temperament fit. Then we stay in touch, share updates, and adjust the plan as your loved one's needs change.

Our Expertise

Everyday Needs We Help Palisades Seniors Manage

Every household is different, but these are the needs Pacific Palisades families bring to us most often.

Dementia & Alzheimer's Support

Consistent routines and calm, respectful communication help your loved one feel more settled as memory changes.

Reducing Fall Risk

Especially in multi-story hillside homes, caregivers offer steady help with stairs, transfers, and walking according to the care plan, and report observed concerns to the family and agency supervisor.

Stroke Recovery Support

Mobility assistance, encouragement with an established home exercise routine within the caregiver's scope and care plan, and attentive, non-medical observation.

Parkinson's Support

Flexible help with mobility, daily tasks, and medication reminders that adjusts as symptoms change, according to the care plan.

Returning Home From the Hospital

After a stay at Providence Saint John's Health Center, UCLA Health Santa Monica Medical Center, or another facility, caregivers help with routines, mobility, and medication reminders to support a safer recovery at home.

Timely, friendly reminders help your loved one keep a consistent medication routine throughout the day.

Aging in Place

Thoughtful support at home can help seniors remain longer in the Palisades homes and neighborhoods they know.

Staying Socially Connected

Caregivers can help your loved one keep up with friends, faith communities, clubs, and family visits so days stay full.

Veterans Care

Veterans Home Care in Pacific Palisades

Pacific Palisades is home to veterans who have been part of the community for many years, some still living in the neighborhoods where they raised their families. As they age, many would rather stay in those homes, close to family and familiar routines, than move to a facility. Non-medical veterans home care can support that goal with help for daily activities such as bathing, dressing, meals, and mobility, along with companionship and support for the spouse or family member providing care, whether the veteran sees providers at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center or elsewhere in the community.

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 individual 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 Pacific Palisades or nearby Santa Monica or Brentwood, we can explain how the Community Care Network generally works and how our services might fit into a plan for remaining at home where appropriate. Contact True Amore Home Care to learn more about eligibility and available services, or explore our Veterans Home Care services.

Medicare GUIDE Program

Medicare GUIDE Program and Dementia Care Support in Pacific Palisades

A dementia or Alzheimer's diagnosis affects the whole family, and in Pacific Palisades it's common for adult children, spouses, and longtime friends to share caregiving while balancing their own commitments. The Medicare GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) model is a Medicare program created to help eligible people living with dementia and their caregivers access additional support, which may include care coordination, caregiver education, and respite services.

Good to know: Not every Medicare beneficiary qualifies for GUIDE, and a dementia diagnosis does not by itself make someone eligible. The model also 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 Pacific Palisades.

If your family is working through the options after a diagnosis, or you've been caring for a loved one for some time and need more support, we're glad to talk it through. Contact True Amore Home Care to learn more about eligibility and available support, and read our Medicare GUIDE Program guide for a broader look at what the program may and may not cover.

Questions?

Questions Palisades Families Often Ask

Cost depends on the type of support your loved one needs and how many hours of care are scheduled, from a few companion visits each week to live-in care or 24-hour care through rotating caregivers. We begin with a free assessment so your family understands the options before care starts. If your loved one has long-term care insurance, our Long-Term Care Insurance Guide explains how coverage typically works, and our Medicare GUIDE Program guide outlines 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. If your loved one is coming home from Providence Saint John's Health Center, UCLA Health Santa Monica Medical Center, or another hospital, let us know and our team will make every reasonable effort to arrange support as quickly and safely as possible.

Our hospital-to-home care provides non-medical support once your loved one is home, including help with everyday activities, mobility within the care plan, meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship.
