ameriCARE is a non-medical home care agency serving seniors and families across Central Orange County.
We help seniors stay in the homes they know, in Santa Ana, Orange, Garden Grove, Tustin, Anaheim, and the cities around them. Our caregivers handle the everyday things that keep a day steady: meals, bathing and dressing, medication reminders, a ride to the doctor, and company that does not feel rushed. Every visit runs a four-hour minimum, because good care is hard to do in sixty minutes.

Why families choose ameriCARE
Three things that make the day easier
24/7 coverage available
Overnights, weekends, and holidays. When a shift changes, the next caregiver already knows the routine.
Dementia & Alzheimer's care
Caregivers who know how to redirect without arguing, and how to keep a hard afternoon calm.
Post-hospital & transitional care
The first weeks home after a discharge from UCI Medical Center or St. Joseph, when falls happen most.
The difference
Most agencies sell hours. We build a routine.
Most home care is sold in hourly blocks. We sell it in relationships.
A caregiver who knows your mom takes her second coffee at ten, hates the blue slippers, and needs the TV loud on the left side does more than any checklist. That familiarity is the whole point. It is also why we hold a four-hour minimum and keep the same caregivers on your family's schedule.
ameriCARE is non-medical home care, not home health. We do not send nurses or provide skilled medical treatment. We handle the daily, human parts of staying home safely: companionship, personal care, dementia support, and the tricky first weeks after a hospital stay. Every in-home assessment is done in person by Doug Wooley, who sits at your kitchen table, learns the routine, and builds the plan before anyone starts.

Hear it from a family we care for.
A short message from an ameriCARE family about what day-to-day care with our caregivers actually looks like.
★★★★★
Doug came out the same week, sat with my father, and actually listened. The caregiver he matched us with, Rosa, has been with Dad for five months now. She caught a medication mix-up the pharmacy missed.
★★★★★
After my mother's hip surgery at St. Joseph, those first weeks home terrified me. ameriCARE sent someone every morning. No falls, no ER trips, and I finally slept through the night.
★★★★★
I work with ameriCARE Central Orange County under the leadership of Doug Wooley, and one thing that stands out is his reliability and integrity. Doug genuinely cares about both his caregivers and clients. The company is professional and respectful.

Questions families ask us
Home care in Orange County, answered
How much does home care cost in Orange County?
Non-medical home care is billed privately, by the hour or by the shift, with a four-hour minimum per visit. Your exact rate depends on the level of care and the hours you need. We explain the numbers in plain terms at your free in-home assessment, and long-term care insurance or veterans' benefits may offset part of the cost.
What is the four-hour minimum, and why do you have it?
Every visit runs a minimum of four hours. Good care is hard to do in sixty minutes. Four hours gives a caregiver time to cook a real meal, help with a shower without rushing, tidy up, run an errand, and still sit and talk. It also keeps the same caregivers on your family's schedule, which matters most for dementia care.
Do you provide dementia and Alzheimer's care?
Yes. Dementia and Alzheimer's care is one of our specialties. Our caregivers are trained to redirect gently instead of arguing, keep familiar routines intact, and stay calm through sundowning and hard afternoons. For families managing wandering or overnight confusion, 24/7 coverage keeps someone present around the clock.
Can you help right after a hospital discharge?
Yes. Post-hospital and transitional care covers the first weeks home after a stay at UCI Medical Center, St. Joseph Hospital, or Providence St. Jude, when falls and readmissions happen most. A caregiver helps with medications, mobility, meals, and follow-up appointments so recovery stays on track at home.
Is this home care or home health?
ameriCARE provides non-medical home care, not home health. We do not send nurses or provide skilled medical treatment ordered by a doctor. We handle the daily, human parts of staying home safely: companionship, personal care, dementia support, and help after a hospital stay.
Which Orange County cities do you serve?
We serve families across Central Orange County, including Santa Ana, Orange, Garden Grove, Tustin, Anaheim, Villa Park, Fountain Valley, and the surrounding cities. If you are not sure whether your area is covered, call (714) 782-5886 and ask.
