Caring Choices Programs
Since 1993 Caring Choices has provided unique services in Northern California in answer to our residents’ often special needs.
Northern Californians take pride in helping neighbors and supporting their communities. This caring and self-sufficient spirit is part of what makes our valley and mountain towns such a wonderful place to live.
In response to the need for a coordinated system of volunteerism and to meet the need for dedicated volunteers to support the work of our non-profit organizations, Caring Choices has developed the Volunteer Center of Northern California with the help of many organizations.

Our Mission
Caring Choices provides innovative, low or no cost health and wellness services to seniors, disabled adults, families affected by cancer, and persons living with HIV/AIDS.
The staff of nurses and case managers plays a pivotal role in identifying and filling the region’s special needs. Caring Choices’ mission of “…providing services that are currently non-existent” has resulted in staff developing and implementing a wide range of unique programs to address the area’s unmet needs. We take pride in our home and community-based services to residents of Northern California. Please contact us with questions regarding any of our programs.
