We have had occasion in the last couple of weeks to reflect on Eda’s work, and want to let you know more specifically why we feel so thankful for her care of Mary. We found Eda to be trustworthy, reliable and truly focused on Mary’s care. We feel so fortunate that such a capable person, with such heart and positive approach, was by Mary’s side and provided the care she needed – and went the extra mile to make it as comfortable as possible in all respects.

Beacon Home Care is a trusted home care provider in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Walnut Creek sits at the heart of Contra Costa County — a city that consistently ranks among the most desirable places for older adults in Northern California. With its walkable downtown along Locust Street and Broadway Plaza, world-class healthcare at John Muir Medical Center, excellent BART access for regional travel, and the award-winning Rossmoor active adult community just minutes away, Walnut Creek is an excellent city for those wanting to age-in-place.

But even in a community this well-designed for aging, there comes a time when daily tasks can become harder. The walk from the parking garage to the doctor’s office feels longer. Meal preparation becomes a chore instead of a joy. A loved one’s memory begins to slip, and suddenly the person who’s always handled everything at home needs help themselves.

That’s where Beacon Home Care comes in. Our Contra Costa County team provides compassionate, non-medical in-home care to Walnut Creek families — from Rossmoor residents who want to stay active and independent in their own homes to families in the Tice Valley, Northgate, and Rudgear neighborhoods who need dependable daily support for an aging parent.
