The Arcadia Step Lively Program to Reduce Fall Risk
Our home care support for clients in Walnut Creek, Oakland and surrounding cities focuses on the critical issue of fall risk for older adults. We recognize this as a major threat to one’s health, vitality and independence.
The Arcadia Step Lively Program incorporates health and safety basics as the foundation of our care plans and many caregiving duties to minimize fall risk. While each care plan is personalized, our trained caregivers are attentive to the issues that can contribute to this risk, no matter a person’s general need for home care assistance.

- Sleep problems
- Mental distraction
Safety protocols to reduce fall risk include:
- Medication reminders

- Routine walks or other medically approved physical activity
- Proper use of walking support devices
- Hydration encouragement
- Safe transfer techniques
- Nutritious meal planning and preparation
- Home safety checks and tidy environment
- Escort to medical appointments and eye exams
- Notes in the care log of any mobility changes or health issues

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Care Services in Contra Costa and the East Bay
What determines the cost of home care services?
Home care costs vary based on your specific care needs, the number of hours per week, and the type of support required. Many families choose home care because it offers flexibility—allowing you to scale services up or down as circumstances change.
During your complimentary consultation, we walk through your situation in detail, explain pricing clearly, and discuss scheduling options that fit your household and budget. Arcadia Home Care does not require long-term contracts, and we can also share information about local resources when applicable.
What types of in-home care services are available?
You receive non-medical in-home care services designed to support daily life at home. These services include personal care assistance, homemaker services, respite care, transportation and escort to medical appointments and other outings, and memory support for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
Care plans often combine multiple services to reflect the realities of life in Walnut Creek, Oakland, and surrounding communities—whether that means supporting daily routines, mobility, or safety at home.
How soon can in-home care services begin?
In many cases, care can begin shortly after your consultation. For time-sensitive situations, such as a hospital discharge or sudden change in health, assessments and agreements may be completed by phone or email.
For non-urgent needs, caregiver placement typically occurs within one to two days, depending on care requirements and scheduling preferences. Our local team works closely with you to coordinate a smooth start to care and flexibility with ongoing support.
Are Arcadia care providers screened and trained?
Yes. All care providers complete background checks, screening, and ongoing training that meet California requirements. Client safety and consistency of care remain central priorities.
Caregivers also receive continued education in areas such as communication, safe mobility, nutrition support, disease-specific care, and emergency procedures—helping ensure dependable in-home care.
Do you offer overnight or extended-hour home care services?
You can access flexible scheduling that may include overnight or extended-hour care, depending on your needs. Because of California overtime regulations, 24-hour care typically involves multiple caregivers working scheduled shifts rather than a single live-in caregiver.
Our care coordination team remains available 24/7 to help manage schedule changes, address urgent needs, and ensure continuity of care.
