It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting Lindsay Museum And Gallery in Lindsay, CA gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Lindsay, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“My family has been fortunate to have Always Best Care provide care for my elderly”
“Love the information the office provide and how wonderful the office looked. Chelsea provide me”
“I am writing in regards to my husband’s caregiver, Angeles. We appreciate her so much.”
“My mother was under the care of Always Best Care from 2018 until her untimely”
“My family has been fortunate to have Always Best Care provide care for my elderly mother for approximately two years. My mother is in her late 80s and not an easy person to deal with at times. Subsequent to her hospitalization and release, we coordinated with Always Best Care for caregiver, Chelsea to come into her home every week to assist my mother with her daily life, chores, etc. Chelsea has literally been a gift from God to us. I honestly don’t know what we would do without the professional help of Chelsea. She handled my mother’s many needs and moods with a very delicate and compassionate touch. She is simply the best. I cannot recommend her professional qualities and services highly enough. Please feel free to contact me should you require any additional information. Thank you very much.”
“Love the information the office provide and how wonderful the office looked. Chelsea provide me with enough information.”
“I am writing in regards to my husband’s caregiver, Angeles. We appreciate her so much. When she first started caring for my husband, he was not sure he liked her and would call me to send her home. She worked really hard to try to work with him as he can be stubborn and angry at times. Over time they have developed a real bond. She is attentive and wherever he is, she is right behind him. When I get home from work , my husband is always in a good mood and I’m very appreciative of the relationship Angeles have built with my husband and the care she has provided him. Also, Angeles went above and beyond the tasks assigned to her and I have nothing but praise for all the Caregivers that Always Best Care Senior Services have.”
“My mother was under the care of Always Best Care from 2018 until her untimely passing in 2022. She had a number of physical disabilities and the staff from Always Best Care provided quality care in assisting with her hygienic needs, attending to light housekeeping, food preparation and providing transportation to and from medical appointments. My mother always felt well cared for by the staff of Always Best Care. When my mother passed away in mid-December 2022, the staff at Always Best Care recognized the emotionally vulnerable position of my 87 year old Father and decided to continue assigning a compassionate Caregiver for him. Their ability to recognize the importance of this continuum of care is greatly appreciated by our family. Ultimately, our family has been very satisfied and pleased with the service that Always Best Care has provided to both our parents. They have demonstrated sincere concern, care and compassion when it comes to our parents’ physical and emotional care and we would recommend their services to anyone.”
Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Lindsay City Park in Lindsay, CA with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local El Molcajete or visit Allensworth Historic Town Site (California Historical Landmark #1047), don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Lindsay, CA, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Lindsay, CA understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Lindsay, CA 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

If Fenelon Falls resident Nancy L’Estrange has her way, the village will benefit from a $1 million civic improvement project courtesy of HGTV’s new Home Town Takeover Canada series. The Canadian version is the first spin-off from the popular US-based Home Town Takeover.
The premise is that producers and designers from the show choose a town of less than 20,000 people that could benefit from some type of community undertaking, based on a lengthy application that highlights the people and features of the community.
HGTV announced the nationwide call for nominations on Sept. 16, as part of Rogers Sports and Media’s slate of new Canadian original unscripted series for 2026.
L’Estrange says she was motivated to begin the application process because, “Spending all my summers up here as a kid, I have just come to love Fenelon Falls so much. But, living here, I feel we are missing some things that we had when I was growing up. I thought this was such a wonderful opportunity to improve an already great community.”
In a matter of days, she had assembled a team of interested residents to put together the submission including Ward 5 Coun. Mike Perry, Tim Wisener – the force behind the Grove Theatre – and Lynn Manning who helped steer recent Fenelon Falls Downtown improvements.
“There’s a lot of movers and shakers in this town, and it did not take me long to gather all these people. Once I talked to Chris Handley, (he) suggested, ‘you’re going to want to get this person’, and then from that person, they suggested, ‘oh, please invite this person.’ So, it was a real collaborative team effort of bringing people together to make this town a better place.”
According to Rogers Sports and Media, Home Town Takeover Canada hopes to initiate a “nationwide small-town revitalization movement, starting with one special town. Inspired by the success of three seasons in the US, the new Canadian series will shine a light on a Canadian small town facing real challenges and give it the boost it needs to get back on its feet.” Home Town Takeover Canada will see support from familiar faces as HGTV’s American stars Ben and Erin Napier (Home Town, Home Town Takeover) will lend support along with Canadian designers and builders.
The written application process is well underway, and the video submission is nearing completion. “We have assembled interviews with community leaders and included photos and video of key community events like Santa Day, and places around town,” said LeStrange.
“We’re hoping to have hundreds and hundreds of people, and we’ve had big signs donated reading, ‘Ben and Erin, please come to Fenelon Falls’. So, if you’re reading this, come on out and support us. Please park down at the beach or over at the old arena site and walk over”, says L’Estrange.
Glenn Walker who sparked the revitalization of the Fenelon Falls Museum, known as Maryboro Lodge, has been instrumental in acquiring both historical and current media content to include in the video and will take the photo from a drone camera.
Producers from the show will then go through submissions and determine the lucky town. Home Town Takeover Canada, is set to premiere on HGTV and stream on Citytv+ in the fall of 2026 and the winter of 2027.

Editorials Kawartha Lakes Weekly
Back in January, this space greeted the city’s new organic waste collection program in the four main urban areas of Kawartha Lakes with encouragement and high hopes. The green bins lined up along curbs on Friday mornings likewise seemed to indicate enthusiastic participation and a promising avenue for reducing the garbage we send to landfill.
Nine months later, those hopes have collided with reality. City staff report that a little more than one in three eligible households — buildings with five or fewer units in Omemee, Fenelon Falls, Lindsay and Bobcaygeon — are taking part in the program. To meet the province’s target, at least 50 per cent of these households need to be participating. To make a meaningful difference in the waste we send to landfill, that rate must be higher still.
Council recently approved measures for those who should already be participating in the organics program using the bins provided.
Specifically, as of June 15, 2026, these residents must not have any organic waste in their garbage, down from a 10 per cent limit that was virtually impossible for waste collectors to gauge. Starting at the same time, organic collection will happen on the household’s regular garbage day, making it even easier to take part. Households with the organics program available to them will only be allowed one bag of garbage picked up for free each week.
Urban dwellers who compost their own organic waste won’t be affected. Rural residents aren’t involved in the organics program at all, so they can still put out two bags of garbage (although ideally they’d compost or, where appropriate, feed food waste to animals).
The new rules are both necessary and sensible. Sensible because obviously a lot of people in the four areas covered by the program require stronger incentives. Necessary because several city landfills will be full within a decade, including the largest site northeast of Lindsay.
The changes won’t necessarily all be popular, but that doesn’t make them wrong. It was disappointing to hear Councillor Ron Ashmore say he couldn’t “sell” the idea of a single weekly bag of garbage to his Omemee constituents. Doing the right thing for the environment shouldn’t have to be soft-pedalled because someone can’t be bothered to use a separate container for some items, nor does such quibbling do anything to slow down the rapidly approaching end dates for our dumps.
It’s up to every single resident of Kawartha Lakes to cut back on the garbage they create in any responsible way they can. This isn’t a problem that will go away or fix itself. Separating organic waste is the least we can do to play our part.

Fenelon Falls officially has a brand new youth after-school centre at 30 Colborne St. called The Loft, operated by BGC Kawarthas, where teens aged 12-17 will be able to meet after school. There is no cost for attending drop-in, and youth can register for the after-school program on their first visit.
“I’m really excited about the new place,” said Lily McAulay-Hunter, main supervisor of the new Fenelon program, in a press release. “I think we’re gonna grow a lot more than we did now that we’re on the main strip, which will give kids a lot more opportunities.”
BGC Kawarthas originally opened the program in February in a temporary location at Fenelon Falls United Church, operating twice a week until the end of the school year.
Now in its new location, The Loft will be operating three days a week: Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 – 6 p.m. There will also be special events every day – cook together Tuesdays, creative Wednesdays, and game on Thursdays. You can find more information here.
“The church provided us with a great start, and now we’re thrilled to move into a space we can dedicate to young people,” said Amy Terrill, executive director of BGC Kawarthas. “This beautiful space is so welcoming, visible to the community and closer to the schools – it’s a great combination to allow us to expand our hours, develop more programming, and attract more support and partners.”
The community will have an opportunity to come see the new space at the official Open House on Tuesday, Nov. 4 from 2:30 – 6:00 pm. Watch for more details at www.bgckawarthas.com .

Residents of Kawartha Lakes can now enjoy faster, smarter access to municipal services, events, and information with the launch of three newly redesigned websites: municipal, tourism, and library. This digital redevelopment project is part of the City’s ongoing commitment to making it easier for residents, visitors, and community partners to connect with the services and resources they rely on.
The new Kawartha Lakes.ca website delivers on what residents asked for in public engagement during the project planning stages, namely, making information more accessible and making it simpler to navigate services, including municiPal AI – An AI feature right in the search bar that answers your questions with conversational responses drawn from across the website, eliminating the need to hunt for information; By-law Module – Searchable, up to date access to By-laws; ServiceHub – A secure portal where you can find a dashboard of online purchases, service requests, custom news feed, recreation programs and more.
“This project reflects Council’s commitment to putting residents first,” said Cheri Davidson, manager of communications, advertising and marketing, in a press release. “By leveraging the latest technology, we can introduce tools like municiPal AI, to make it easier than ever for our community to access services, stay informed, and interact with their local government.”
The tourism site showcases their newly redesigned “Explore Kawartha Lakes” brand and highlights local attractions, events, and experiences, supporting visitors and residents alike to learn about everything that makes Kawartha Lakes ‘Quietly Incredible.’ The Library site provides improved access to programs, events, and digital resources for patrons of all ages.
