Alegra Home Care & Staffing sits in Santa Rosa, with offices at 101 Brookwood Ave Suite 204 and their newer location in Solstice Senior Living at 101 Brookwood Avenue Suite 205, and they've been around since 2014. They work as a locally owned home care agency and have spread out with nine offices in Northern California, including places like San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. The main focus at Alegra Home Care is helping seniors, people living with dementia, and folks with disabilities stay safe and comfortable either at home or in their community, as they offer in-home care, assisted living, memory care, independent living, and skilled nursing services.
They have a vibrant setting with easy access to nearby cafes, parks, restaurants, pharmacies, theaters, hospitals, and public transportation, so people don't feel stuck too far from daily life, which is something some people really appreciate. The community offers a range of care options, from short visits to 24-hour or Live-In Care, with caregivers that help with personal care, daily tasks, medication help, wound care, companionship, and even transportation if someone needs to get to appointments or run errands. The place has different room types, meals prepared for residents, regular activity programs, and even complimentary transportation for those who need a ride.
Caregivers with Alegra go through background checks, interviews, and training, with many holding certifications like CNA or CHHA, and they'll help caregivers get registered if needed through the Home Care Services Bureau. They do require caregivers to be at least 18, able to lift up to 50 lbs and push 300 lbs, and they prefer people with a year's experience, so the staff usually know what they're doing. They match caregivers based on what each person needs, whether that's help after an injury, child care, or memory care, and they're careful about these matches, which can matter quite a bit for comfort.
The facility is known to be diverse and inclusive, and is the only LGBT-Certified in-home care agency in Northern California, which some families see as important. They're also the on-site home care agency for residents at Solstice Senior Living. Ancillary and medical staffing services are also available, and they can help with hospice care when that becomes necessary. People can get benefit options like medical coverage, paid time off, referral bonuses, and ongoing training, so the caregivers tend to stick around and know the residents.
Alegra Home Care has a reported average price of $275, but exact prices aren't posted. Meals, care assistance, activities, and personalized services are all included, with care plans designed to fit each resident's needs. Complimentary transportation, parking, and easy access to local spots help keep people active and connected. The agency aims to provide a comfortable, friendly, and safe space, making senior care feel less overwhelming for families and their loved ones.
