Message from our COO – Jackie McMahon

I’m proud to serve as the Chief Operating Officer at Home Helpers of Thousand Oaks. With 17 years of experience in the home care industry, my passion for helping seniors live safely and comfortably at home has only grown stronger. After speaking with thousands of individuals and families navigating the challenges of caregiving, one of my favorite things to do is educate them on all their options and serve as a trusted referral source. Whether it’s connecting them to local resources, answering questions about care, or guiding them through next steps, I find it incredibly fulfilling to help families make informed decisions. I am also blessed to work alongside an amazing team of dedicated caregivers, case managers, and staff who share the same commitment to compassion and excellence. Together, we make sure every client and family feels supported. I also encourage families to explore long-term care insurance while you’re younger and healthy—it’s often more affordable and can ensure access to quality care when it’s needed most. If you ever have questions about care options or planning for the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always available—24/7—to support you and your family however I can. You can call or text me anytime at 805-405-5550.

Honoring Our Veterans with Care

Because They Served Us, We Serve Them

Here at Home Helpers Home Care, we’re proud to serve those who served!

As a VA-credentialed provider, our caregivers support Veterans and surviving spouses with dignified in-home help, including personal care, companionship, meals, medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and family respite. If you or a loved one may qualify for VA benefits (such as Aid & Attendance or the VA Homemaker/Home Health Aide program), we can help you navigate the options and start care quickly.

To learn more or check eligibility, call our Thousand Oaks team at 805‑777‑8111. We’re honored to be part of your care journey.

BGA PREMIER INSURANCE

Long-Term Care Insurance

Long-term care insurance helps cover the costs of care that health insurance typically doesn’t, such as in-home caregiving, assistance with daily activities, or assisted living. When you have a long-term care policy, it means more choices, less financial stress, and peace of mind knowing they can receive the care they need while protecting their savings and independence.

We’re proud to collaborate with BGA Premier Insurance to help families explore the best long-term care insurance options available.

We’re excited to share some great news!

Skills Training

We are launching a new and improved Skills Training Program for our caregivers. This upgraded training is designed to be more detailed, interactive, and focused on the essential techniques that make a real difference in delivering exceptional care. The session will be led by our Care Manager, Christina, who will be guiding caregivers through this valuable learning experience.

From advanced caregiving techniques to practical, real-life scenarios, our enhanced program will ensure our team is better equipped, more confident, and always ready to deliver the highest quality of care to our clients and their families.

We believe in continuous learning and growth because when our caregivers are empowered, our clients thrive.
