About Us
Omatochi
Omatochi is a modern, high-tech home care agency based in the United States. The organisation focuses on a "holistic and senior-centric" approach, combining physical care with mental and social engagement to help seniors age in place safely and happily.
Registration & Organisation Type
- Registration Status: Registered as a Home Care Organization (HCO) in the state of California. Because they operate in the US, they are not CQC or CIW registered (as those are UK bodies). They are licensed through the California Department of Social Services (CDSS).
- Organisation Type: Private For-Profit Company. While they partner with many non-profits and community-based organisations, they operate as a private business entity.
Who We Are
Omatochi operates as a family-focused care provider, functioning throughout the state of California.
Headquartered in Dublin, California, the organisation is known for its "high-tech and soft-touch" philosophy. Their model is built on addressing the isolation often felt by seniors by matching them with caregivers based on shared interests and lifestyle needs. They are particularly recognized for their proprietary Family App, which provides real-time updates to family members, bridging the gap for relatives who may live far away or have demanding work schedules.
They pride themselves on being a Medi-Cal provider, offering specialized care plans that integrate with government-funded health programs in California to make professional home care more accessible to a broader range of families.
What We Do
Social Companionship
Matching seniors with In-Home Health Aides who align with their personality. This includes creating a personalized social activities calendar to keep the senior mentally and socially active.
Medi-Cal In-Home Care Plans
Providing structured care pathways for seniors enrolled in California’s Medicaid program (Medi-Cal), including Virtual, Blended, and Total Care Plans.
Personal Care Assistance
Assisting with daily living activities (ADLs) such as grooming, bathing, meal preparation, and mobility support, all monitored through their digital platform.
Virtual Care Integration
Offering remote support and monitoring options through their app to ensure seniors have 24/7 oversight without always requiring a physical presence in the home.
24/7 Family App Support
A central communication hub where families receive instant health updates, care logs, and direct access to the care team for complete transparency.
Approach & Values
Omatochi focuses on Holistic Health, Transparency, and Intentionality.
They prioritise familial peace of mind, ensuring that the "sandwich generation" (those caring for both children and aging parents) can stay informed without the stress of constant manual check-ins. Their approach is designed to be smarter, using data from their app to adjust care plans in real-time based on the senior's health and mood trends.
A strong emphasis is placed on "Soft-Touch" interaction, valuing the human connection between the caregiver and the senior as much as the medical or physical tasks being performed.
Industry Role
Omatochi plays a pivotal role in the California home care market, acting as a leader in the digital transformation of senior care.
As a Medi-Cal partner, the organisation contributes to the state’s efforts to reduce nursing home placements by providing high-quality, tech-enabled home support. They act as a strategic advisor for families, offering a Senior In-Home Care Checklist to help them determine the urgency and level of care required for their loved ones.
They offer a modernised caregiving environment, making them a preferred choice for tech-savvy families who want to remain deeply involved in the daily life of their aging parents despite geographical or professional barriers.
