Chajinel — Guardian of the Soul, in the Mayan Quiché. Our promise is to walk beside every aging adult with deep respect, protecting their dignity and independence through every season of the journey.
Most home care tends to the body. We care across all five dimensions of who your loved one is.
Daily needs met with dignity and skill.
Companionship that sees the person.
Engagement that keeps the mind present.
Respect for the inner life and meaning.
Connection to the world they belong to.
Specialized, patient care for Alzheimer's and dementia — built around the individual, not the diagnosis.
Everyday assistance in the comfort of home — daily living, companionship, and supervision.
A full care plan across all five dimensions, reviewed regularly to keep care on track.
Support that preserves as much independence as safely possible — because dignity lives in choice.
Steady, informed care for the long road of chronic and degenerative conditions.
Careful support through the vulnerable moments of change — hospital to home, and beyond.

“Aging deserves to be honored, not merely managed.”
For more than twelve years, Daniela Jonguitud has built Chajinel on integrative, gerontological training and a standard most families have never been offered — caregivers developed roughly three times beyond the state minimum, assessments that read all five dimensions of the person, and modalities like the Bapne Method and reminiscence work that reach the mind and spirit, not just the body.
"Daniela is a true professional and a compassionate advocate for our most vulnerable — she improved the quality of life for my clients while protecting their independence."
Recognized by the California State Senate and Assembly, and by leaders across San Mateo County.
It begins with a free, no-pressure in-home assessment. We visit, listen, and read the whole picture across all five dimensions — then propose a starting plan and a clear quote. You decide from there.
Yes. Every caregiver is state-licensed and passes CPR certification, DOJ and FBI background checks, physical exams, and drug testing — then trains far beyond the minimum, with a strong focus on dementia care.
There are four common paths — private pay, long-term care insurance, Veterans benefits, and County / IHSS. We accept 25+ LTC insurers and are contracted with Veterans Affairs and San Mateo County. We can walk you through each option so you understand what may fit.
We practice conscious, integrative care — engaging the whole person with tools like the Bapne Method, reminiscence therapy, and virtual reality. Most home-care agencies simply don’t offer this. We do it differently, on purpose.
Always. Our guided journeys are built to adapt — from a few companion hours a week to daily personal care or around-the-clock support — without starting over each time life shifts.
We serve San Mateo, San Francisco, Marin, and Santa Clara counties. Not sure if you’re in range? Call us at (650) 741-6107 and we’ll let you know right away.
A free in-home assessment, and a careful look at your loved one's wellbeing. No pressure, no obligation.
