Rob Wheelock

Rob has spent his career working with seniors and their families, so he knows the importance of dependable, professional, compassionate senior care. In 2009, he co-founded Valley Home Health, a California-licensed, Medicare-certified home health agency that has cared for over 7,000 patients. Initially, Rob served as the organization’s administrator and oversaw its operations; now he continues his work as the company president. In recent years, Rob has focused on Valley Home Care, a business he co-founded. Its mission stems from his desire to help seniors maintain an independent lifestyle with safety and security. Rob credits Valley Home Care’s success to our passion for quality senior care and our dedication to the elderly and their families.
