Home Care Morongo Valley, CA

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 the historic Big Morongo Canyon Preserve 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 Morongo Valley, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

TESTIMONIALS

“Always Best Care Senior Services has been a lifesaver. I have a cousin who lives several hundred miles from me. She has Alzheimer’s and it’s very hard to take care of her from here. I’ve had other care services before and they didn’t work out because they sent a different caregiver every day and it was very confusing and upsetting to my cousin. ABCSS has been fabulous at providing continuous care. My cousin adores her caregiver Melissa. She takes her swimming and shopping etc. Also, I cannot say enough good things about Sandra Mendoza. Because I live far away, it’s hard to know what’s going on. She keeps informed and updates me by email and text message. She calls me if there’s a problem. What more could you ask for?”

“Abc has top notch people working in the office who deal with issues in a swift and caring fashion. Especially Juan and Moises who go the extra mile when there’s an issue. As for caregivers Jessica Perry who is beyond the best I’ve ever had. She’s on top of things each day and makes having someone around the house not so bad. She gets 100% my other main caregiver Daisy, is also terrific and smart. Both of these care givers know how to think, be aware of what’s happening and maintain great attitude each day. Zap-Roxie”

“I can’t say enough good things about Always Best Care. They were prompt and courteous, met with me the same day as my Mom was being discharged from the hospital, and I needed to arrange care. Janet was the caregiver provided for my Mother. She was so kind and attentive to my Mom, also very concerned about her safety. She went over and beyond what I would have expected, and my Mom really bonded with her. I also used placement services as my Mother formerly was in assisted living but needed to move to a board and care for more care and monitoring. I was shown several beautiful homes by Bonnie Zwack who was personally invested in finding the right fit for my Mother. She even visited my Mother to ensure a positive transition. Thank you so much ABC! You lifted a huge burden off of my shoulders that at first seemed overwhelming. I’m sharing a picture that Janet helped my Mom color during an activity. Moved me to tears. Sincerely, Linda Devore”

“I just wanted to give Always Best Care a very well deserved 5 star review!! As children of seniors know, it can be a hard decision to entrust others outside of the family to provide love and care for your aging parent. However, Always Best Care of Indian Wells has been incredible in so many ways in helping facilitate home care service for my 100 year old mom. Sandra, their Care Coordinator, is an excellent communicator – patient and kind, resourceful and so very competent. Yvonne, mom’s caregiver, is loving and from our first meeting, she did those “little things” without being instructed that were important and mean so much. (Like checking dates on groceries, asking about parking so as to be considerate of the neighbors, having a routine for where to put things like mom’s keys, etc., and just focusing her attention on little things that were all about mom, etc. etc.) Moses, who installed mom’s AI devices was great as well – all smiles, so friendly and sweet to mom. And Juan, who does scheduling is the best as well….always one step ahead in communicating schedules and everything else. I am very impressed with how well they all work as a team. The most important part, though, is that mom is happy! Thank you ABC!”

“Above and Beyond I was driving in a panic from Washington to California because my mother was in crisis, she has dementia and her partner/care giver was taken to the hospital and not expected to recover. From the moment of contact while driving through mountains with terrible cell service Sandra and Moses took the situation in hand and offered solutions and managed to obtain a nurse for that very night with such short notice of only 3 hours and we needed care for 12 hour shifts. They were so compassionate and supportive and made us feel safe. Mom is 88 years old and can be quite difficult in the best of times, she really liked the nurses and wanted them to come back. Anyone needing Nursing services should call Always Best Care they are top notch. Thank you again for the amazing service!”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Morongo Valley, CA?

lm-check

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.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

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.

lm-check

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.

Home Care Morongo Valley, CA
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

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 Spaghetti Western or visit Morongo Basin Historical Museum, 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.

 In-Home Care Morongo Valley, CA

Benefits of Home Care in Morongo Valley, CA

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:

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.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

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.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

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 Morongo Valley, 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.

 Elderly Care Morongo Valley, CA

Affordable 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:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your CA's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care Morongo Valley, CA

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

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 Morongo Valley, 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.

Assisted Living Referral Services

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.


Respite Care Morongo Valley, CA

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:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Morongo Valley, CA

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:

  • Ingleside Lodge Assisted Living
  • Angelic Mansions Assisted Living - Yucca Valley
  • Jasmin Terrace at Yucca Valley
  • Aaspen Village Care
  • Aaspen Village Care
  • Desert Cove Assisted Living at Desert Hot Springs
Home Care Morongo Valley, CA

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.

MORONGO BASIN — San Bernardino County Fire Chief Dan Munsey and executive staff will present information on the FP5 fire tax and Measure W at meetings in Yucca Valley, Landers and Johnson Valley.

After the presentations, the fire chief and his staff will be available to answer questions from the public.

Meetings will be held as follows.

• 6-8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3, at the Johnson Valley Community Center at 50567 Quailbush Road.

• 6-8 p.m. Monday at Belfield Hall at 58380 Reche Road in Landers.

• 6-8 p.m. Tuesday at the Yucca Valley Community Center on Dumosa Avenue north of Twentynine Palms Highway.

Measure W would repeal the special tax to fund firefighting and emergency services charged to most San Bernardino County property owners.

The tax funds the entirety of county fire’s services in Twentynine Palms. It pays for about half of the county fire department’s services in the rest of the Morongo Basin. Morongo Valley is exempt, as it has its own fire department.

The county board of supervisors can adjust the assessment amount up to 3% every year. It is currently $171.85.

The tax is charged to every property in San Bernardino County that is in Fire Protection Zone 5. That zone has expanded over the years to encompass most of the county, barring communities like Morongo Valley that have independent fire departments.

It pays for firefighters, equipment and fire stations.

This will be the third ballot initiative seeking to repeal it.

The first failed in 2020. The second, Measure Z, was approved by voters in 2022 but was invalidated by a San Bernardino County judge, who ruled that the petition used to collect signatures had false or misleading information.

Measure W will be the third attempt.

Munsey told the Twentynine Palms City Council that if the tax is repealed, the county may close Twentynine Palms’ fire station. Throughout the Morongo Basin, it could result in longer response times and higher insurance premiums, he said.

The county, he warned, will not likely make up the loss with money from the general fund.

Proponents of Measure W say the county can use other funding sources to fill in the hole in the fire department budget.

Their ballot argument points out that people who own small homes must pay the same tax rate as large luxury hotels.

MORONGO BASIN — Forecasters predicted Morongo Basin communities could experience heavy rainfall and potential flooding as Tropical Storm Hilary moves inland. Parts of the desert could get a year’s worth of rain in a couple of days.

The latest models from the national Weather Prediction Center show at least a 40% chance of heavy rain creating the risk of flash floods in the Basin Saturday through Monday.

Joshua Tree National Park managers will close areas vulnerable to extreme flooding Friday night ahead of the arrival of Tropical Storm Hilary.

A flash flood watch will begin Saturday morning and last through Monday afternoon for the Basin as well as other parts of the Mojave Desert.

National Weather Service models predicted up to 5-7 inches of rain could fall on parts of Southern California including the Mojave Desert in the next six days.

The storm won’t bring constant rainfall, but several rounds of rain ranging from light to heavy starting Saturday and lasting through at least Monday, according to the NWS.

There won’t be much time between rounds of rain for the precipitation to soak in, forecasters predicted. Sometimes areas might have slowly compounding flood conditions, while at other times flash floods might occur in normally dry creeks, washes and low-lying areas.

Gusty winds will blow into the desert Sunday night and Monday morning; the NWS warned to watch out for trees that may uproot out of rain-saturated soils.

The weather office advises residents to check weather conditions before they travel and take an emergency kit with them.

In Joshua Tree National Park, the public is advised against driving Geology Tour Road.

Rangers advise everyone to reconsider outdoor activities for this weekend, be prepared to turn around if you experience moving water on roadways and be alert for lightning.

A news release from the town of Yucca Valley advises residents to take precautions and avoid unnecessary travel.

“The town street department is preparing to respond to emergencies, but all local motorists should be alert to the adverse conditions with wet and flooding roadways,” the news release states.

“Depending on the storm severity, access to some local roads may be limited.”

The town will direct its resources to clearing primary roads first.

Sandbags are available for residents to pick up at the following locations:

Emergency management officials urge everyone to follow the guidance of local officials and to take the following steps.

MORONGO BASIN — As forecasts strengthened for a coming tropical storm, Joshua Tree National Park managers announced Friday the entire park will be closed over the weekend.

“We have started to cancel campground reservations,” ranger Donovan Smith said Friday afternoon. “Now we’re monitoring the situation and closing areas the best we can with the resources we have.”

Campers already in the park will be able to stay Friday night but will be asked to leave by Saturday morning, and the gates will be closed to new visitors. A flash flood watch for the national park and the entire area starts at 11 a.m. Saturday and will last until 5 p.m. Monday.

The storm may also affect schools if roads are flooded. The school year in the Morongo Unified district starts Monday.

“We want you to know, that we take the safety of your children and our staff seriously. We are continually monitoring the weather forecast and will provide you with updates as we see the impact of the storm,” Morongo Unified School District spokesperson Laura Hall said in a Friday afternoon announcement.

At the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, all personnel were removed from training areas and the current service-level training exercise was paused, Lance Cpl. Justin Marty said Friday afternoon.

The Marine Corps said a storm of the expected severity of Tropical Storm Hilary has not happened since 1939.

Combat center officials advised all personnel and their families to take precautions and beware of flooding and high winds that could lead to downed trees and power lines and power outages. Military personnel were told to call their supervisors for details on reporting for duty.

High chance of flash flooding

According to the national Weather Prediction Center, there is a slight to moderate chance that enough rain will fall to cause flash floods in the local desert on Saturday, rising to a moderate to high chance on Sunday and Monday.

By 2 p.m., the National Weather Service was warning, “Life-threatening and potentially catastrophic flooding is likely over much of Baja California and Southern California this weekend and early next week.”

Most flood deaths occur with vehicles, the NWS said, so everyone should consider postponing non-essential road travel to avoid danger.

Parts of the Morongo Basin, including Burns Canyon, were put under a tropical storm watch. It is the first time the National Hurricane Center has issued a tropical storm watch in California.

Sandbags are available for residents to pick up at the following locations:

• The public works facility at 58928 Business Center Drive, Yucca Valley. Sand is available here too. There is a limit of 20 bags per household.
