Local Senior-Care Experts in San Joaquin County
The independent professionals San Joaquin County families lean on when navigating a care decision. We simply surface these vendors and professionals — we don’t vet or guarantee how any of them are compensated by others, and whether that’s acceptable to you is something to determine on your own. What we can tell you: there’s no fee to be listed here, and we never take a referral fee ourselves.
Why some categories are still short: unlike licensed facilities, there’s no official public roster of these professionals. We add someone only after we’ve confirmed who they are and that they serve San Joaquin County — and we never take a fee to be listed. So this directory grows deliberately rather than all at once. That’s the trade-off for a list you can actually trust.
What “verified” means here: we confirm each listing is a real, currently active local business — a working phone number, a real address, genuine reviews or a license record. We don’t have an ongoing relationship with anyone listed here, this isn’t an endorsement of their work, and we don’t audit how each business is compensated by others. Details can change after we check them — do your own research and ask your own questions, including about how someone is paid, before deciding who to work with.
Geriatric care managers
Independent professionals who assess needs and help families plan and oversee care.
ApexCare
Source: Real staffed office; operating since 1992; Geriatric Care Management explicitly listed as a distinct service line. 1111 W. Robinhood Dr. Ste B, Stockton. Serves San Joaquin & Stanislaus Counties. Email confirmed via own site, Sep 2026. Verified Sep 2026.
Geriatricians
Physicians who specialize in the medical care of older adults — diagnosing and managing the conditions common with age, often coordinating with specialists. Distinct from a geriatric care manager, who provides non-medical care coordination rather than direct medical treatment.
Sunil H. Patel, MD
PremierCare Physicians
Source: Own site markets "Geriatric/Senior Specialized Care" explicitly. Board-certified in Internal Medicine (1987) and Geriatric Medicine (1994) per independent bios; affiliated with Sutter Tracy Community Hospital, twice elected Chief of Staff there. In continuous practice in Tracy/Manteca since 1988. Locations: 1470 Bessie Ave, Tracy and 531 W Yosemite Ave, Manteca — confirm current primary location by phone. Verified Sep 2026.
Ashok Daftary, MD
Sutter Gould Medical Foundation
Source: Doximity lists an active CA medical license (issued 1976) and ABIM board certification in Internal Medicine with geriatrics recertification in 1998 and 2008. Affiliated with St. Joseph's Medical Center-Stockton; faculty at University of the Pacific. In practice 20+ years. 2505 W Hammer Ln, Bldg 1, Stockton. UNRESOLVED: three independent sources give three different phone numbers for this address (955-7700 recorded here, plus 524-1211 and 466-8072 found in follow-up checks Sep 2026) — likely a large multi-physician building with several lines, or stale aggregator data. Call to confirm the correct number before using this for outreach or publishing further.
Senior living placement specialists
Help you find and tour facilities that fit your needs. Distinct from a care manager: most are paid a referral fee by the community you move into, not by you — see each listing's compensation note.
California CareGivers

How they’re paid: Site describes the service as free to families — the same pattern separately confirmed elsewhere in this network (Senior Care of Sacramento) to mean the firm is paid a referral fee by the care home on move-in. Not independently confirmed for this specific firm.
