SOLVANG, CA
Age Well Care, a licensed in-home senior care agency serving Santa Barbara County, today announced the opening of its new Solvang office — a meaningful step that strengthens the agency’s already-established presence in the Santa Ynez Valley. Age Well Care has long served families across Solvang, Santa Ynez, Buellton, and Los Olivos, and the new office gives the agency a dedicated local home base to better support clients, families, and community partners throughout the valley.
The office complements Age Well Care’s continued service to Santa Barbara, Montecito, Goleta, Carpinteria, Summerland, and Lompoc, and reflects the agency’s commitment to being not just a provider in the valley — but a true neighbor.
“We’ve been caring for families in the Santa Ynez Valley for some time, and opening a local office was the natural next step,” said Ralph, founder of Age Well Care . “It’s about being more accessible, more present, and more rooted in the community we already love serving.”
Office Open by Appointment
Because the Age Well Care team spends most of their time in the field — with clients, in homes, and alongside the families they support — the new Solvang Home Care office operates by appointment only. Families, referral partners, and community members are warmly invited to schedule a visit by calling (805) 900-0829 ahead of time. This ensures that every meeting is unhurried, private, and led by a team member who can give each conversation the attention it deserves.
A Pattern of Local Giving
The Solvang office announcement also reflects Age Well Care’s broader commitment to giving back — not only to elderly-focused causes, but to the full fabric of community life in the valley. Recent contributions include support for the Santa Ynez Valley Children’s Museum, which nurtures hands-on learning and intergenerational connection, and sponsorship of the Bethania Preschool and After School Touch-A-Truck event, a beloved community gathering that brings local families, children, and first responders together.
Beyond financial giving, volunteer hours, and everyday client work, Age Well Care is also a proud participating provider in the GUIDE Program (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) — a Medicare pilot initiative designed to bring respite care and structured support to families navigating the daily realities of dementia. Participating in GUIDE allows Age Well Care to extend its trusted caregivers to families struggling with dementia who might not otherwise have access to professional respite, ensuring family caregivers receive the relief, rest, and support they need. The agency views its participation as an extension of its mission — a way to make compassionate, high-quality dementia care reachable for more families in the community, regardless of circumstance.
“A community that thrives is one where every generation is supported,” Ralph added. “Children’s enrichment, family caregivers caring for someone with dementia, local schools and first responders — these are all part of what makes the Santa Ynez Valley home. We want to be a small part of keeping that alive.”

24/7 Home Care Solvang, Hospice Support & Post-Hospital Recovery
Beyond routine companion and personal care, Age Well Care offers higher-acuity in-home support for families navigating some of life’s most difficult transitions. 24/7 care — delivered through live-in or around-the-clock shift coverage — ensures that a trusted caregiver is always present for clients who cannot safely be left alone. Post-surgery and post-hospital recovery care helps clients return home safely after a hospital stay or procedure, reducing the risk of readmission and giving family members peace of mind during a vulnerable window. And hospice support care works alongside hospice providers to ensure loved ones are comforted, dignified, and never alone in their final chapter — while easing the emotional and physical weight on family caregivers.
Eligible for Long-Term Care Insurance Reimbursement
Age Well Care’s services — including 24/7 care, hospice support, and post-hospital recovery — are typically eligible for reimbursement under long-term care (LTC) insurance policies. Families who carry an LTC policy may be able to claim all or a portion of their care costs through their insurer. The Age Well Care team is experienced in working alongside policyholders and their adjusters to provide the documentation, care logs, and verification needed to support a claim. Families are encouraged to call (805) 900-0829 to discuss how their specific policy may apply.
