From the first meeting with Rich at the hospital I felt secure in our choice for Home Instead Whittier, Ca. to help my husband while recovering from surgery. We had pretty much round the clock care which tapered off just from night time to early morning for two weeks. We wish to Thank the following people who were amazing..Eva, Leslie, Yolanda, Dulce, Lynus, Majesty, Lisa and Katie…these wonderful ladies did everything they could to help my husband with all his needs. Thank You to All! M Chotiner

We are so grateful that we found Home Instead, they provide top notch caregivers who actually care about the people they are caring for. We were faced with the situation where we needed to find someone to care for our mom in our home, we couldn't imagine the obstacles, until it was too late and we had hired the wrong agency. We contacted Home Instead and they managed to have someone start immediately. We never had to worry about coverage, if someone called out, there was always a replacement to step in. They would cover weekends, holidays and evenings, anything we needed. They are a very thoughtful company, if our mom was in the hospital they would visit and check on her. They invited her to join their company holiday party where she was able to enjoy seeing all of the caregivers that she had spent time with over the years. You might be able to find an agency that charges a little less; but, let me remind you, you get what you pay for. We want to personally thank Home Instead and all of the caregivers that have taken care of our mom over the years and for the past year, specifically Sagy and Arlene, you are truly appreciated.

Rosemary M., Home Instead Whittier, CA
VWith a calm presence and a gift for connection, Rosemary brings both heart and experience to her role as a Care Pro at Home Instead of Whittier. Before caregiving, she spent 15 years with the L.A. County Registrar Recorder’s Office, where she specialized in helping people navigate stressful situations with patience and empathy.
That same compassion now shapes the care she provides to older adults in her community. Inspired by the time she spent caring for her godmother and mother, Rosemary discovered her natural ability to motivate, encourage, and support others—especially those facing challenges with mobility, dementia, or daily routines.
“I love hearing their stories,” she says. “It’s like a living history class, full of different cultures and experiences. I’ve learned so much from the people I care for.”
Rosemary is especially skilled at creating structure and joy in her clients’ days—from encouraging movement and healthy meals, to simply sharing a laugh. She believes home is the best place to heal, grow, and feel at peace.

- Missed medications, meals, or appointments
- Challenges with bathing, dressing, or mobility
- Increased forgetfulness or signs of memory loss

Still unsure? A care consultation is a great place to start. We'll listen, answer your questions, and help you explore your options—with no pressure or obligation.
Here's when home care might be the right step:
- You're juggling caregiving with work, family, and your own well-being
- Your loved one's needs are growing beyond what you can manage alone
- You're noticing signs of burnout, frustration, or fatigue
- You want a consistent, trusted partner to rely on
Home Instead Care Pros provide support that fits your routine—not the other way around. Whether it's meal prep, a walk, or help getting to appointments, our care is designed to enhance—not replace—your role.
You don't have to wait for a crisis. Most families who start care with us say they wish they had done it sooner.
There's no one-size-fits-all answer—but if your loved one wants to stay in their own home, in-home care can be the most personal, flexible, and reassuring option.
In-home care vs. assisted living
Assisted living can be great for those who want a communal setting and are ready to relocate. But if your loved one wants to stay at home, in-home care offers:
- One-on-one attention in familiar surroundings
- A flexible schedule that fits your lifestyle
- Support with meals, mobility, personal care, and companionship
- Help from Care Pros who get to know your loved one—building trust and routine
In-home care vs. hiring a private caregiver
Hiring an independent caregiver can seem less expensive—but it comes with risk. As the employer, you'd be responsible for payroll, insurance, and coverage when they can't show up.
With Home Instead, we handle everything:
- Professional hiring, training, and supervision
- Background checks, insurance, and 24/7 backup support
- Personalized matches and no long-term contracts
In-home care is all about helping your loved one stay independent, comfortable, and safe—right in the place they know and love. From simple companionship to specialized dementia support, our Care Pros are here to help make life easier.
Here's how it works with Home Instead Whittier:

- We build your care team. We'll match your loved one with a trained, compassionate Care Pro based on skills, schedule, and compatibility. Many of our Care Pros speak Spanish and bring years of experience supporting chronic conditions or memory care.
- We start care quickly. We can often begin care within 48 hours. Services may include bathing, dressing, transportation, meal prep, medication reminders, and more. We also offer 24-hour care, dementia support, and hospice assistance.

It's care on your terms. Ready to get started?
At Home Instead, we don't just send a caregiver—we introduce you to a Care Pro. It's a title we take seriously, because our team members bring more than just help—they bring heart, consistency, and respect for the life your loved one has built.
Here's what sets our Whittier Care Pros apart:
- They're trained and trustworthy. Each Care Pro goes through a thorough background check, drug screening, and extensive training—including how to support Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and chronic health conditions.
- They're employees—not contractors. That means we handle taxes, scheduling, and supervision. We also provide liability insurance and workers' comp, so you're fully protected.
- They're matched with care. We take time to match each Care Pro based on your loved one's personality, preferences, and needs. It's not just about filling a shift—it's about building a relationship.
- They show up, and we've got your back. If your regular Care Pro can't make it, we'll send a qualified backup—no scrambling on your end. Our 24/7 support line means help is always a call away.
