Supporting Seniors and Families in Scotts Valley

Scotts Valley sits above the fog line, six miles up Highway 17 from Santa Cruz. That shapes care here in two practical ways: family is frequently coordinating from San Jose or Los Gatos, and a lot of local homes are built into slopes with stairs between the driveway and the door.

Flexible Scheduling and Quick Start Options

Care needs rarely arrive with notice — a fall, or a discharge date from Dominican that lands with two days’ warning. We hold flexible scheduling and quick start times for exactly those weeks.
Care can often begin:
  • Within 24 hours
  • On a part-time or full-time basis
  • With the ability to adjust as needs evolve

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide home care throughout Scotts Valley?
Yes — including the hillside streets and the areas out toward Glenwood, Mount Hermon and Camp Evers. Scotts Valley is part of our regular service area, not an out-of-area exception, so you get the same caregivers and the same scheduling reliability as clients in town.
How quickly can care start?
Often within 24 hours, depending on the hours you need and the caregiver match. Hospital discharges are the most common urgent case — most Scotts Valley discharges route through Dominican in Santa Cruz, and we can usually start the day your loved one comes home if you call before the discharge date rather than after it.
What types of services do you provide?
We provide non-medical home care: personal care, companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping and mobility assistance, plus respite, dementia care and 24-hour and live-in care. We are not a home health agency: no skilled nursing, wound care or therapy, and caregivers give medication reminders rather than administering medication. If skilled care is what you need, we will say so and point you to the right provider.
Is home care covered by insurance?
Most home care in Scotts Valley is private pay. Some long-term care insurance policies reimburse it — see long-term care insurance for how to check a policy and file, and paying for home care for the other options families use.
How much does home care cost in Scotts Valley?
Curesa Health charges generally $45 to $60 per hour across Santa Cruz County, Scotts Valley included, with the level of support needed determining where you fall in that range. Overnight and live-in arrangements are priced differently to hourly visits. See pricing for what actually drives the number.
Will Medicare pay for a caregiver at home in Scotts Valley?
Medicare does not cover non-medical home care — the personal care, companionship and household support described on this page. Medicare may cover intermittent skilled nursing or therapy at home if a doctor orders it and your loved one is homebound, which is a different service delivered by a home health agency. Some Medicare Advantage plans include limited supplemental in-home support; check the plan directly. Most families here use private pay or long-term care insurance — see paying for home care.
