24-Hour Care Services
Provident Home Care offers extended shifts, most commonly in 8, 12 or 24-hour increments, although you may choose any amount of care ranging from a 4-hour mini-visit to 24-hours of care per day.
A 24-hour shift is designed for aging loved ones who need more than limited or occasional assistance.
When your aging loved-one needs help at home, you may feel very overwhelmed and at a loss for what you can do and what your options are. This can happen when your aging loved-one experiences a fall or other unplanned, accidental medical event. We also find that this can happen when your loved-one has a planned surgery that may require a recovery period after.

About Escalon, California
Founded in the late 1800s, Escalon, California, has deep roots in agriculture and transportation. Originally established as a station along the Santa Fe Railroad, Escalon quickly grew into a vital hub for farmers and ranchers throughout the Central Valley. Its name, meaning “stepping stone” in Spanish, reflects its early role as a crucial link between rural growers and major trade routes.
Over the decades, Escalon maintained its agricultural identity, becoming particularly known for its almond, walnut, and dairy production. Despite modernization, the city has preserved much of its small-town character and historic charm, with strong ties to its farming heritage.
Location
Nestled in San Joaquin County, Escalon sits in the heart of California’s fertile Central Valley. It is strategically located along Highway 120, providing easy access to larger nearby cities like Modesto to the south and Stockton to the west.
The Sierra Nevada mountains are within driving distance to the east, offering outdoor recreation opportunities, while San Francisco Bay Area is roughly 90 miles to the west for those seeking city amenities. Escalon’s location offers a perfect blend of rural tranquility and convenient connectivity, making it an attractive place for residents who value both space and access.
Community
Escalon is known for its close-knit, welcoming community. With a population of just over 7,000, it maintains a friendly, small-town atmosphere where neighbors know each other and community pride runs deep. Family-owned businesses, community events like the annual Park Fete, and a strong school district create a sense of belonging for residents of all ages.
Agriculture remains a key part of daily life, but the town also embraces growth and modernization thoughtfully, preserving its heritage while looking to the future. Escalon’s spirit of hard work, family values, and community involvement continues to define its identity today.
