When Angela and Vinny DiNicola found themselves in the position of providing care for an elderly family member following a stay in the hospital, the couple learned firsthand the importance of quality in-home services. And it was that experience that led them to open HomeLife Senior Care in Brentwood.

“Considering the needs of our own parents,” said Angela, “our desire was to use what we learned to create a premiere, affordable, in-home care service built on a foundation of compassion and dependability, offering families peace of mind by providing their loved ones with the best-trained caregivers in the industry, and the dignity and compassion they deserve.”

Serving all of East County as well as Rio Vista and Tracy, the DiNicola’s company is family-owned and operated with a staff of 50 and 24-hour phone service.

“We are not a franchise,” said Vinny. “HomeLife Senior Care is different because of the passion that we personally bring as owners to be the best. Our focus is on our clients, their families and on training our caregivers. We are constantly honing our systems and procedures. We personalize our service, we customize it, and we are always improving on it.”

HomeLife Senior Care provides personal care and companion care services to help seniors remain in their homes for as long as possible. The services are available on an as-needed basis with no minimum, as well as 24-hour care. All of HomeLife’s caregivers are trained as Certified Companion Aides, a nationally recognized certification program. The DiNicolas offer free, no-obligation in-home assessments to determine how HomeLife Senior Care can best meet their clients’ current and ongoing needs.

“Our clients tell us how excellent our office staff and caregivers are – and we think they’re right,” said Angela. “It’s the training we provide our caregivers and staff, our own passion, but also their compassion for seniors and their commitment to excellence that make the difference.”

But for the DiNicolas, the best part of their job is helping seniors stay independent and in their own homes. “One fear that seniors have is of losing their independence,” said Vinny. “The best part is helping them to stay in their homes longer, remain independent and not experience the loss of their familiar surroundings. We make it possible for families to enjoy their aging parents or loved ones when they are visiting, instead of care giving.

“Our service also provides the family with peace of mind that their loved ones are well-cared for by caregivers who are well-trained, experienced, certified, bonded and insured … We’re different because of the passion we personally bring as owners to be the best and keep our focus, always, on the clients. It’s very rewarding.”
