Available Services for Seniors

Every senior’s needs are different. Some need a hand around the house. Others want someone to finally explain how their iPad works. Many need both.

I offer flexible services that meet you where you are, whether that’s light assistance a few hours a week or comprehensive care coordination for your whole family.

Caregiving and Companionship

From meal prep and light housekeeping to walks, puzzles and genuine conversation, I provide the practical help and friendly presence that makes staying at home comfortable. Available for errands, outings and even travel companionship.

Personal Tech-Support

Smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, video calls with family... technology should make life easier, not harder. I'll help you use what you have, learn what you need, and discover tools that can genuinely improve your daily life.

Senior Care Management

When life gets complicated, having someone coordinate the details makes all the difference. I handle scheduling, appointments, medication reminders, caregiver coordination and family updates so nothing falls through the cracks.

Matt Lobanoff - Caregiver, Technology Coach and more

Patient Care. Honest Help. A Friendly Face.

I’ve been helping seniors and adults with disabilities on an off for over a decade, starting with in-home support services (IHSS) and companionship work in the early 2010s. That experience included working closely with a deaf autistic adult and others in the disability community, where I developed patience, adaptability and basic ASL skills.

For the past nearly five years, my caregiving work has become even more personal. I recently became the full-time primary caregiver for my parents, including my father who’s battle Alzheimer’s gets worse every day. These experiences, plus more, have taught me what families really need: not just someone who shows up, but someone who genuinely cares, stays calm under pressure and looks for ways to make life better.

I’m a fully background checked, CPR Certified, California Registered Home Care Aide and certified Caregiver.

But more than these credentials, I bring a natural ability to connect with people and a keen eye at finding ways for technology to improve one’s quality of life.

Caregiving & Tech Support Client
Matt is a gem. He helped me figure out my phone and computer, which I never thought I'd understand, but somehow with him I did. He made me laugh and feel comfortable, even when I was confused. And the way he helped and got along with my husband after his stroke warmed my heart. He didn’t rush us, didn’t talk down to us, just made everything easier. He’s the kind of person you don’t forget.

Matthew helps me with all the things I forget. Which honestly is a lot these days. He always figures out some clever way to make things easier. From keeping track of bills to setting reminders on my phone (which I still don’t totally trust, but he does), he’s got it handled.

I randomly met Matt and I'm sooo glad. I was trying to launch a small business, but I had some anxiety about tech. He really helped me get the confidence to try some new tools and boy am I glad he did. Not only was I able to build a brand I was proud of, but I did so using tools that I was always scared to try. I have some memory issues and sometimes get overwhelmed, but he was always calm, kind and listened really well. He never made me feel behind or "less than," he helped me feel confident. He really made a difference for me.

General FAQ's

I’m based in Walnut Creek and serve Contra Costa County, including Walnut Creek, Rossmoor, Alamo, Danville, San Ramon, Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Clayton, Martinez surrounding communities.

For travel companionship services, please contact me with details.

We’ll talk about your situation, what kind of help you’re looking for and whether I’m a good fit. There’s no pressure and no obligation. It’s just a conversation to figure out if working together makes sense.

No. I’m not a nurse or medical professional. I provide non-medical caregiving, companionship, tech support and care coordination. I don’t do bathing, toileting or medical procedures. For seniors who need that level of care, I can help coordinate with appropriate providers.

I charge hourly rates that vary depending on the type of service (Caregiving, Tech Support, etc). I also offer package rates for care management. We’ll discuss specific pricing during our consultation based on what you need. I try to be flexible and work with families to find arrangements that make sense. In addition to cash, I accept credit/debit cards (or bank-to-bank ACH transer) via Stripe.com.

Yes. I have personal experience as a caregiver for my father who has Alzheimer’s, so I understand the patience and approach that memory care requires. However, for advanced dementia requiring specialized medical care, I may not be the right fit and can help you find appropriate resources.

When you work with me, you get me. Not a rotating cast of caregivers you’ve never met. I’m an independent provider, which means more consistency, more flexibility and a more personal relationship. The tradeoff is that I’m one person, so if you need round-the-clock coverage, we’d need to coordinate with other providers.

That’s exactly what the free consultation is for. Many families aren’t sure what they need until we talk through the situation. I can help you figure out what would actually be helpful and we can start small and adjust as needed.

Absolutely. I encourage it. For care management clients especially, keeping family informed is a core part of what I do. I can set up regular updates, share reports and even build online dashboards to keep everyone in the loop.

No hard feelings. Fit matters in caregiving. If it’s not working for either of us, we part ways respectfully. I’d rather help you find the right support than force something that isn’t clicking.

Fill out the consultation request form on the homepage or give me a call. We’ll set up a time to talk, I’ll learn about your situation, and we’ll go from there.
