About Help & Care, LLC

Our mission is to help seniors live confidently and age gracefully in their own homes for as long as possible. Our in-home caregivers choose to make a positive difference in the lives of mature adults and their families who love them. The Help & Care, LLC team will perform its collective duties with confidence, concern, commitment, cheerfulness, and care. We will treat every contact as a friend and every client as family, and we will perform every task with honor.

 

Help & Care, LLC is a family-owned home care organization dedicated to helping you through a difficult time for your family — the realization that your loved one is struggling with the natural aging process and may require more help to stay in the home.

Our home care services are for adults and seniors who are:

  • choosing to remain in their homes, rather than opting for institutional care
  • needing assistance due to chronic disabilities
  • dealing with issues related to memory loss

Help & Care, LLC was founded in 2014 by Vassilina Breitbach. Now, we have more than 130 amazing home care aides in Santa Clara county. Our home care agency is proud to employ these in-home caregivers. We are a licensed in-home care organization in California, serving the Campbell, Gilroy, Los Gatos, Morgan Hill, Saratoga, and San Jose areas.

Help & Care employees are what make our company great!

We have dedicated home care aides who work whatever hours you need and deliver high-quality care 24/7. No matter what you are looking for in an in-home caregiver, we are certain that one or more of our employees will be a perfect match to your needs and schedule.

In addition to our employee caregivers, we have an efficient and dedicated office staff. At least one staff member is “on call” for our clients 24/7 so that both clients and employees can reach us if needed. This is only part of what sets our home care services apart.


Vassilina Breitbach Founder, Managing Director

I am Vassilina Breitbach. As the founder of Help & Care, LLC, I’m truly passionate about elderly care and I understand the role of family caregivers.

My love and respect for seniors began when I was 4 years old. We moved from Germany to Kazakhstan, where my grandmother lived. My parents worked a lot and were away from home very often. I spent a lot of time with my grandma, and we had a strong relationship as a result. She was never just my grandmother, she was my friend, my guardian, my inspiration. She lived to be 85. She became ill, but she stayed at home until she passed away surrounded by her family.

I began to think about helping seniors after my grandma’s death. Caring for someone you love is one of the best experiences, but it is also one of the most challenging phases in life. Although I never regretted what it took to care for her and keep her in her home, I do regret how it robbed us of quality time with her while she was alive. Our life is so busy — as parents, spouses, and children with full-time jobs and other responsibilities — that sometimes we lose sight of what really matters: spending time with our loved ones and letting them spend time with us.

I founded Help & Care, LLC for two reasons. One is to provide respite to family caregivers, enabling them to enjoy quality time with their loved ones. The other is to assist the elderly with staying independent and enjoying that independence for as long as possible. When health and mobility begin to fade and a senior needs to depend on others for care, spirit and pride are generally lost. With our senior home care though, our in-home caregivers help preserve this pride and spirit as much as possible.

If you are a senior or a family caregiver, you can count on my staff and me to provide you with the best service and to be knowledgeable about the challenges that you face each day. We are here to help. That is what we are all about.
