About HomeCareHub
The complete guide to in-home senior care — free cost calculators, care assessments, safety checklists, and step-by-step guides for families planning care for an aging loved one.
HomeCareHub was built for one moment that almost every family eventually faces: the moment you realize an aging parent or loved one needs help at home, and you have no idea where to start. We turn that overwhelming question into a clear, step-by-step plan, with free tools that work in seconds and guides written in plain English.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make planning in-home care for a senior loved one as clear and stress-free as possible. Whether you are estimating monthly care costs, figuring out how many caregiver hours your parent actually needs, fall-proofing a home, or comparing 24-hour care to a live-in arrangement, we give families a trustworthy answer fast — without sign-ups, sales pressure, or jargon.
Where We're Based
HomeCareHub is a free resource for families navigating senior home care across the United States, with deeper local coverage in Southern California. Our team is based in the San Fernando Valley, which is why you'll find detailed city guides for Chatsworth, Northridge, Woodland Hills, Encino, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, and the surrounding Conejo and Ventura County communities.
What You Can Do Here
HomeCareHub hosts more than 35 calculators, checklists, planners, and expert guides built around the real decisions families make when arranging in-home senior care:
- Plan and budget care: Care cost calculator, care needs assessment, care hours estimator, and 24-hour vs live-in comparison to model exactly what in-home care will cost in your area.
- Make the home safer: Home safety checklist, fall risk screening, bathroom and stair safety, fall-proofing room planner, walker and cane fit checker, and transfer safety.
- Manage day-to-day care: Medication schedule planner, meal and hydration planner, caregiver handover notes, hydration reminders, and protein and calorie needs.
- Track health basics: BMI, blood pressure category, cholesterol ratio, A1C and eAG conversion, resting heart rate, body temperature, sleep needs, and common medical-form unit converters.
- Read the guides: Evergreen, plain-language articles on hiring caregivers, paying for care, senior health, and aging in place safely.

How Our Tools Work
Every calculation runs directly in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or sell any of the values you enter. Care cost ranges are built from current California in-home care market data and refreshed regularly. Our health formulas follow widely referenced clinical standards, including the WHO BMI formula, the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for calorie needs, and standard guidelines for blood pressure, heart rate, and medication dosing. Default units follow US conventions (pounds, Fahrenheit, inches), with metric available where it makes sense.
Who We Serve
HomeCareHub is built for the people on the front line of a loved one's care:
- Adult children arranging care for an aging parent for the first time.
- Spouses and family caregivers balancing daily care with work and family.
- Professional caregivers and home health aides who need quick reference tools.
- Seniors planning ahead who want to stay safely in their own home.
What We Are Not
HomeCareHub is an educational resource, not a medical service. Our calculators provide estimates based on standard formulas and should never replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider for any clinical decision.
Looking Ahead
We are continuing to expand our library of tools and guides, with a focus on caregiver hiring, paying for care, chronic condition management, and senior safety at home. Our commitment stays the same: useful, accurate, free, and private.
