Mom & Dad Check-In: Affordable Support for Seniors Living at Home

Caring for an aging parent or loved one from a distance—or even across town—can be stressful, especially when they’re still mostly independent but might need a little help now and then. You want to be there. You want to check in. But life is busy, and geography doesn’t always cooperate. At Bay Area Senior Care Placement, we’ve created a simple, affordable solution: the Mom & Dad Check-In Service. This service is not home care, and it’s not a replacement for medical or personal assistance. Instead, it fills the often-overlooked gap between independence and full-time caregiving—offering practical, flexible support that helps your senior loved one remain safe, supported, and connected in their daily lives. What Is a Check-In Visit?

Each visit is tailored to your loved one’s needs and might include things ...

What Is Proactive Senior Care Planning? Proactive senior care planning means taking steps before an emergency or rapid health decline forces your hand. It involves: Recognizing early signs of physical, emotional, or cognitive decline Starting honest ...
