Flexible ways to pay for care

How can I pay for home care in North County?

Most families use one or more of these options. We'll walk you through what applies to your situation at no charge, before anything is agreed to.

Private Pay

Flexible private-duty care, billed simply by the hour, as much or as little as you need.

LTC Insurance

We help verify your benefits and work directly with your long-term care insurance policy, so you don't have to navigate the paperwork alone.

Why families choose us

Why should you trust SYNERGY HomeCare with your loved one?

Every caregiver passes a thorough background check before their first shift. We're fully bonded and insured, and if your regular caregiver is ever unavailable, we send a qualified backup, so your loved one is never left without the care they depend on.

Thoroughly screened caregivers

Background checks, bonding, and insurance on every caregiver, consistent with California's HCO licensing requirements.

Reliable, never left alone

If a caregiver can't make it, we send a trained backup. Your loved one is never without care.

No long-term contracts

Care flexes as needs change. Add hours, reduce them, or pause, you're always in control.

Locally based in Carlsbad

We're a North County team, not a distant call center. Our office is at 5857 Owens Avenue, Suite 300.

“About a year ago, I was able to get approval from my long-term care insurance company for caregiving help for myself... Navigating the insurance and medical world is difficult, at best, and Synergy is great at helping with all that! The company is locally owned and I get such personal attention from their staff and owners.”
