GUIDE Program available to eligible California residents
Who we help

Wherever you are in this, you're not walking it alone.

HōttoCare wraps around caregivers, families, clinicians, and community partners with the kind of dementia support we all wish existed — warm, expert, and built for real life. Built in California, supporting families nationwide.

We understand

You're carrying more than anyone sees.

Dementia changes the shape of a family. The appointments, the worry at 2 a.m., the roles you never expected to play — it's a lot. You don't need a pep talk. You need someone in your corner who already knows the road.

  • Exhausted, but afraid to admit it.
  • Guilty for needing a break.
  • Lost in a system that wasn't built for you.
  • Watching someone you love change, and grieving while still caring.
  • Wondering if you're doing this right.
  • Tired of being told to "take care of yourself" with no real help to do so.
Setting the record straight

The stories that keep families from getting help.

Shame and second-guessing keep too many families waiting until they're in crisis. Here are four myths we hear most — and the truth that opens a door.

"Asking for help means I've failed."

Reaching out is what experienced caregivers do first, not last. You can't pour from an empty cup — and you were never meant to do this alone.

"It's too early to call."

The best time to build a care plan is before a crisis. Early support means more choices, less panic, and better days for everyone.

"This will cost us money we don't have."

For eligible families enrolled in Original Medicare, HōttoCare's GUIDE Program services — including a $2,500/year respite benefit — are 100% covered.

"No one really understands what this is like."

Our care navigators have walked this road, professionally and personally. You'll be heard by someone who actually gets it.

Why families trust us

Built by clinicians. Trusted by caregivers. Rooted in community.

"I didn't feel heard by the teams in the hospital—the doctors and social workers. It was so helpful for the HōttoCare physician to step in and give us a voice."

You don't have to figure this out alone

There's a real human ready to help — today.

A short, no-pressure conversation with a HōttoCare navigator is often the most hopeful thing a caregiver does all month. For eligible families, our support is 100% covered.
