Heart disease can change everyday life in ways families don't always anticipate.

A senior may come home from the hospital needing help with meals, medication reminders, transportation to follow-up appointments, mobility, or simply keeping up with daily routines while they regain strength.

The right support at home can make that transition easier for everyone.

Our latest article covers practical ways families can support a loved one living with heart disease, including what to consider after a heart attack, with heart failure, or when ongoing cardiac care becomes part of daily life.

Hillendale has been helping Bay Area seniors remain safe and independent at home for more than two decades.

There’s something special about the way music can bring people together.

We recently arranged a special visit from Skylar Wondrush to sing classic favorites for seniors in our community. Skylar gets dressed up for the occasion and brings plenty of warmth and personality to every performance.

The smiles say it all. A familiar song can spark memories, encourage connection and bring a little extra joy to the day.

We love finding meaningful ways to give back to the seniors in the communities we serve.

Strong bones matter. So does creating an environment that helps older adults stay safely on their feet.

More than 1 in 4 adults age 65+ reports falling each year, and for someone living with osteoporosis, a fall can have especially serious consequences.

This World Osteoporosis Day, we’re sharing a few simple ways families can help reduce fall risks at home, from improving lighting and clearing walkways to supporting strength, balance and safe daily routines.

At Hillendale, our caregivers help older adults navigate everyday life at home with greater safety, confidence and independence.

Because protecting independence often starts with the little things we do every day.

Meet Shareefa — Recruiter

We’re excited to introduce Shareefa Mobeen, one of the recruiters behind Hillendale’s caregiving team.

Before joining Hillendale, Shareefa worked as a recruiter for MV Transportation in San Leandro, where she hired Class B drivers who helped transport seniors throughout the Bay Area. Her career has given her a unique perspective on just how important reliable support can be for older adults.

For Shareefa, that connection is personal, too. She feels fortunate to still have both of her grandmothers in her life and understands firsthand how significant care needs can become as we age. That’s part of what makes her role at Hillendale so meaningful: helping connect seniors and their families with caregivers who can provide the support they need.

What Shareefa appreciates most about Hillendale is the culture and the support she receives from her team and managers.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find her spending time with family, trying new restaurants, or exploring new places with her daughter. She also holds a certificate in Medical Coding and Billing from Everest College and previously worked in her family’s automotive business.

We’re so glad to have Shareefa helping us find the caregivers who make Hillendale’s work possible every day.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

As an organization made up largely of women, this is a cause that touches our Hillendale community in many ways. Our caregivers, nurses, care managers, clients and families all include people who have been affected by breast cancer.

This month is an important reminder to take care of ourselves, too. Early detection can make a difference, and staying informed about your individual risk and recommended screenings, including mammograms, is an important part of protecting your health.

To those who have faced breast cancer, those undergoing treatment today, and the families, friends and caregivers supporting someone they love, we’re thinking of you this month.

Aging at home takes more than a safe house. It takes the right support around you.

We recently sat down with Christine Sevier of Creating New Hope, a Dublin-based senior care expert, to talk about what helps older adults continue living safely and independently at home in the Tri-Valley area.

She shared some of her favorite local resources and practical advice for families in Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin and San Ramon, from transportation and meal support to social connection, home modifications and knowing when a little extra help at home might make a difference.

One of our favorite takeaways from Christine:

“Inspect what you expect.”

When care enters the home, the people surrounding the caregiver matter, too.

Sometimes the need for home care comes with very little warning.

Kim recently shared what happened when her mother decided she was ready to leave post-operative rehab, but still wasn’t safe to recover at home alone:

“My mother is just starting with post op in home care from Hillendale and I couldn't be more pleased with their responsiveness. My mother had been in a post op acute rehab which was dragging out for longer than she initially expected for a variety of reasons. She finally couldn’t take it anymore and messaged her daughters late at night that she wanted to go home. She still wasn't safe post operatively to be alone so I reached out to Hillendale on a Saturday morning at 7 am and by 11 AM one of their client care managers named Allison was at my mothers bedside with my sister working to understand her needs and how best to offer her the care she needed to go home safely. When we were able to arrange discharge from rehab, Hillendale was able to quickly arrange 24 hr care for her in her home within less than two hours notice after she was discharged. So far the caregivers assigned to her have been very competent and professional. Knowing someone is keeping my mother safe while she recovers post operatively at home offers a tremendous peace of mind for me and my sister. So far everyone I have interacted with from Hillendale has been friendly, compassionate and incredibly responsive. I am very impressed so far.”

— Kim S., Daughter of Client

Thank you, Kim, for trusting us with your mother’s transition home, and to Allison and our caregiving team for making it possible to respond so quickly when this family needed support.

Recovering after surgery can bring needs families don’t anticipate until discharge day. We recently put together a guide on what to expect during recovery at home and how in-home care can help.
