Corio Home Care offers assistance with personal care, medication cueing, household tasks, companionship, transportation and errands.
In 1999, IOA received the Palo Alto-based Older Adults Care Management (OACM) as a gift from the programโs founders, Eugene and Rose Kleiner. OACM provided home care, care management, and other services for seniors and caregivers. Today, IOA Home Care is now called Corio and is a private pay non-medical home care program.
Corio Home Care provides personalized care for aging adults in the comfort of their own homes. Certified clinicians supervise caregivers who work one-on-one with clients. The expert caregivers and program directors meet clients and their families to design and implement a personalized home care plan. Licensed, bonded, and insured caregivers are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Clients and their families can customize their home care and choose from a list of caregiver and specialty services.

โ Encourage Independence: Let your loved one do what they can. Small tasks help maintain dignity and confidence.
โ Plan for the Unexpected: Have a backup plan for emergencies, and keep important documents easily accessible.
โ Celebrate the Small Wins: Every smile, every moment of connection, every step forward counts.

Did you know that dementia can disrupt a personโs internal clock, or circadian rhythm? This can affect sleep, energy levels, and daily routinesโbut as a caregiver, you can help reset and maintain that rhythm.
Alexandra Kaplan, IOAโs Lead Caregiver Coach, shares simple ways to help:
โ๏ธ Morning: Open blinds, turn on lights, and play energizing music.
โ๏ธ Evening: Dim lights, play calming music, and offer relaxing activities like tea.
โ๏ธ Throughout the day: Keep a consistent routine with activities that bring purpose and meaning.
