Home Care in Berkeley, CA
Berkeley, home to UC Berkeley and served by Alta Bates Summit Medical Center, has a strong local culture of aging in place and skepticism toward anything that feels overly institutional — not unlike Santa Cruz in that regard. Many residents are longtime homeowners, retired academics, or former city employees with strong opinions about how they want their own care to go.
