What makes Premium Care different from other home care agencies in the Inland Empire?

Premium Care In Home Care Services is the only home care agency in the Inland Empire staffed 100% by Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) — every caregiver certified by the California Department of Public Health. Most agencies send basic home health aides with minimal training. We send CNAs: the gold standard for in-home caregiving.

Is Premium Care licensed and insured in California?

Yes. Premium Care holds California Department of Social Services Home Care Organization License #334700237, is fully insured and bonded, and is BBB Accredited with an A+ rating. All caregivers pass thorough background checks.

What is the difference between a CNA and a home health aide?

A Certified Nursing Assistant completes a state-approved clinical training program — certified by the California Department of Public Health — covering anatomy, physiology, safe patient handling, vital signs monitoring, and clinical observation. A basic home health aide completes a short orientation with no clinical certification. Premium Care exclusively employs CNAs.

Does Premium Care accept VA benefits for home care?

Yes. Premium Care provides VA Aid and Attendance benefit-eligible in-home care. Qualifying veterans can receive up to $43,788 per year in tax-free income to cover home care costs. Our care coordinators help veterans navigate the application process at no charge. Call (909) 284-8657.

What home care services does Premium Care provide?

Premium Care provides personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility support), dementia and Alzheimer care, veteran home care (VA eligible, up to $43,788/year), disability care, companionship and homemaking, and respite care — all by CNAs supervised by a licensed RN.

Does Premium Care provide dementia and Alzheimer care at home?

Yes. Our CNAs are trained in memory care: structured daily routines, behavioral management and redirection, cognitive stimulation, safety planning, wandering prevention, and sundowning support. People with dementia consistently do better in familiar home environments.

Does Premium Care offer respite care for family caregivers?

Yes. Premium Care provides flexible respite care from a few hours to several weeks so family caregivers can rest, travel, or handle personal matters. Our CNAs provide seamless, high-quality care continuity.

What cities does Premium Care serve in the Inland Empire?

Premium Care serves 21 cities: Riverside, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Corona, Norco, Eastvale, Redlands, Yucaipa, Chino, Chino Hills, Montclair, Claremont, Jurupa Valley, Moreno Valley, Pomona, Beaumont, Calimesa, Yorba Linda, Highland, Fontana, and Rialto. Call (909) 284-8657 to confirm coverage.

Does Premium Care serve seniors, veterans, and disabled adults?

Yes. Premium Care serves seniors, veterans, and adults with physical or mental disabilities across Riverside and San Bernardino County. All care is delivered by CNAs trained to support independence and dignity.

How does Premium Care help prevent falls at home?

CNAs are trained to recognize fall risk: gait and balance changes, medication side effects, and home hazards. They perform daily informal assessments during routine care, use proper transfer techniques, scan the environment for hazards, and report changes to the supervising RN before emergencies occur — training basic aides do not have.

Who supervises Premium Care caregivers?

All care provided by Premium Care is supervised by a licensed Registered Nurse (RN). This clinical oversight means your loved one receives hospital-grade observation at home — something most Inland Empire home care agencies do not offer.

How quickly can Premium Care start home care services?

In most cases, care can begin within 24 to 48 hours of completing the initial assessment and paperwork. For urgent situations, call (909) 284-8657 and we will do our best to expedite placement.

Does Premium Care offer a free consultation?

Yes. Premium Care offers a completely free virtual or in-person care assessment — no obligation. Our care coordinators assess your loved ones needs and design a personalized care plan at no cost. Call (909) 284-8657 or visit premiumcarehomehealth.com.

Is Premium Care a family-owned business?

Yes. Premium Care In Home Care Services is a family-owned, family-operated agency based in Riverside, California — not a franchise or corporate chain. A local business rooted in the Inland Empire community.

Does Premium Care provide 24/7 support?

Yes. Premium Care provides 24/7 support for all active clients. When something comes up outside business hours, you reach a live care coordinator — not an answering machine.

How Senior In-Home Care Supports Dementia at Home

For families across the Inland Empire, in-home dementia care delivered by Certified Nursing Assistants offers a safer, more dignified alternative to memory care facilities. Research shows familiar environments reduce dementia-related anxiety. When seniors remain at home surrounded by recognizable surroundings and consistent routines, behavioral symptoms decrease and quality of life improves.

What CNAs Do Differently for Dementia

At PremiumCare, every caregiver is a California-certified CNA trained in dementia protocols including validation therapy, structured routines to reduce sundowning, behavioral redirection, fall prevention, and family education. We are the only home care agency in the Inland Empire staffed 100% by CNAs.

Stages of Dementia and In-Home Support

Early Stage

Medication reminders, companionship, transportation, and safety monitoring a few hours daily. Preserves independence while ensuring safety.

Middle Stage

Full personal care assistance — bathing, dressing, meals, mobility — plus structured cognitive engagement activities. CNA clinical training makes the biggest difference here.

Late Stage

Intensive comfort-focused support and coordination with hospice and medical teams. Our CNAs work within interdisciplinary care teams across Riverside and San Bernardino County.

Cost Comparison: Home Care vs Memory Care Facility

Memory care facilities in the Inland Empire typically cost $4,000–$7,000/month. CNA in-home dementia care from PremiumCare can cost significantly less — while keeping your loved one at home. Veterans may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance benefits. See our veteran care program.

Warning Signs Your Loved One Needs Dementia Care

Missing medications or taking wrong doses
Leaving stove on or other safety incidents
Sundowning — confusion in late afternoons or evenings
Social withdrawal and isolation
Weight loss or poor nutrition
Family caregiver burnout
