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 Greystone Mansion Gardens The Doheny Estate in Inglewood, 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 Inglewood, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“Always Best Care was there for us after my wife's surgery. We had a caregiver come each day for two weeks to help bath, feed, walk, and tidy the house during working hours so that my wife was not alone. Our caregiver Naomi was a God sent and so delightful. I often overheard my wife and Naomi singing together. What a joy! Thank you Loli and ABC Senior Services for making this service available to Beach Cities.”
“Loli demonstrated a level of professionalism that stood out, and her service and follow through made our experience with Always Best Care Senior Services stress free. We had a unique situation that required a specific type of caregiver and Loli was able to make a great match! Overall a great experience.”
“My dad came home from the hospital, then to hospice care for 4 months, then passed at home. Loli helped our family during multiple transitions of his care. She is professional and efficient, but also compassionate and empathic. She was a core contact for our family from in- and out-of town, and always responded quickly to calls, emails or txts. Dad's caregiver needs and schedules were ever-changing and Loli was always able to adjust, helping us to coordinate needs from hospice and family. We are so thankful Dad was able to spend his last months at home. We continue to use Loli's services for our mom. The caregivers are trained well and often became friends to my folks. I highly recommend Loli's services.”
“Excellent service. Professional staff and wonderful caregivers.”
“I would highly recommend Always Best Care Senior Servicesto help you navigate the care of your loved ones in their senior years of need. We called them when we found out my 92 year old mother in law was due to be released from the hospital but clearly not able to care for herself upon her release. It was a stressful situation but Loli new exactly the right questions to ask and heard our needs and pointed us in the right direction with all that needed to be done. She set up a call with hospice who arranged for all necessary equipment to be delivered in less than a 24 hour period. She also set up 3 very competent experienced care givers to be at the home in that same 24 hour period. The speed and professionalism in which this all happened could not have handled any better in my opinion. Working with Loli at Always Best Care Senior Services put our minds at ease and got everything set up for us to care for my mother in law. Loli was hands on in meeting with us and introducing the care givers and involved with speaking to doctors and hospice and everyone involved with my mother in laws care. She made a highly stressful time much more manageable and guided us every step of the way. She also followed up and made sure all that was supposed to be done was being taken care of. You are in good hands when calling on them for your loved ones care. I am happy to speak to anyone directly if you would like to ask any questions I give my permission for Always Best Care to give my personal phone number out to speak to anyone who is considering using their services.”

“Loli is very caring, worked with us to get the best caregiver match for my parents, was able to schedule someone when we needed a caregiver on short notice and she always made suggestions to us to help make things better and more comfortable for my parents.”
“We are deeply grateful to Loli and to two of the ABC caregivers in particular, María Flores and Soledad, for their professionalism, dedication and superb service over the course of nearly two years. They provided coverage on evening shifts on weekends and some weekdays —as well as on occasional overnight shifts— for my mother who was in the early-to-moderate stages of Alzheimer’s. (We recently moved her into an assisted living facility.) Because our need for ABC's services was sporadic and variable, Loli and her staff often had to juggle quite a bit to accommodate us — for which we are grateful. Occasionally we’d be assigned a caregiver who wasn’t the best fit but Loli was always responsive to our concerns and would work with us to find a different caregiver. We also appreciate the “added value” that Loli brought to the table — her overall expertise on elder care, knowledge about related resources, and guidance on how to make our home safer for my mother. We are pleased to highly recommend Loli and ABC for your in-home eldercare needs.”
“I needed to find an assisted living community for my dad in a hurry, and knew that I didn't have as much time as I'd like to do all of the research on my own. I was very relieved when I found Loli to help us as a consultant for our search. She was very detail-oriented in acquiring the necessary info from us, and helped us to find a few places with availability that we could visit. I very much appreciated her knowledge of so many various communities, her professionalism, her efficiency, and the wide range of items that she suggested we consider, that we may not have thought of on our own. I would highly recommend her placement services.”
“Always Best Care was an excellent caregiving service for the short time they tended to my ailing mother, a late-stage pancreatic cancer patient. She passed away shortly after we began the caregiving service. In the short time that Always Best Care tended to my mother, the caregiver Maria demonstrated excellent experience. She tended well to my mother and assisted in any other way that she could. Thank you Maria and Always Best Care for your service. I wish you all the kindness and wellness in the world. Colin”
“reliable with excellent oversight”
“We have had 24/7 care for my mother with ABC for over 2 years. The care and compassion they showed for her really touched my heart. I have had to ask for last minute help when another caregiver (not from ABC) could not show up for a shift, Loli and staff always came through for me. She has always been available to work out problems and last minute requests, I can't say enough about how important that has been to me when I live out of state.I have really been able to rely on their judgement once they got to know my moms likes and needs, they always tried to match her with a caregiver that she would also feel comfortable with personally.The caregivers were long term, they did not come and go, mom really became attached and appreciated them. The caregivers speak highly about Loli as their employer, they have mentioned to me they really feel like she cares and looks after them as well. Touches like Loli dropping by for a visit to chat with mom, or remembering her birthday with a bunch of flowers was so great. I would definitely recommend!”
“Loli Ramezani and her staff are top notch when it comes to the service they provide. They are very accommodating on all levels from helping you think things through from start to finish, as well as remaining flexible through each process with the ultimate changes that always seem to arise. I highly recommend them and will be using them again if/when the need presents itself”
“Loli was excellent to work with. She really took the time to understand my father in-law and the family's needs. We had a wonderful caregiver for my father in-law and when it came time to move him from our home, Loli was instrumental in finding a Room and Board that was a great fit. We had used a different service and we can tell you Always Best Care is MUCH higher quality.”
“This was a wonderful experience. The care giver did a fantastic job taking care of my mother. I would recommend them to anyone. The care giver was kind, helpful, and provided all the help we needed. Their service was instrumental in my mother being able to get her independence.”
“Loli and the staff at Always Best Care were very professional, compassionate, and resourceful in providing in home care for my Mom. Loli was responsive when I needed to talk to her about changes or adjustments to my Mom’s care. With her experience and knowledge in the field of senior care she always had recommendations and resources to reach out to when we needed to consider options and alternatives for my Mom’s care. Loli was very compassionate and respectful of my Mom’s wants and needs. I would highly recommend Loli and Always Best Care for senior care services.”
“Outstanding service. I would recommend Manhattan Beach Always Best Care to anyone who needs to have care for a family member. I've had personal experience with Carrie’s organization and was very impressed with her and her caretakers.”
“I needed to find someone for taking care of my poor mom without being worried. When I talked to Loli I got the feeling she understood and she went through A to Z on everything with me. Care and quality care is truly what she delivers.”
“Loli truly cares about her clients and their families ! , She is compassionate professional”
“Was a pleasure to meet Loli and be introduced to her at Always Best Care Senior Services. Rarely have a met someone that offered so much warmth, care, and genuine concern for the well-being and happiness of her clients. Loli will be my first call when my family members need assistance.”
“Loli and Always Best Care was a blessing to have as care providers for my aunt. Loli spent countless hours herself with my aunt as a liason to help my aunt become comfortable with the transition of her employees into her house as her 24/7 care providers. All of the Always Best Care employees where very caring and professional, and they all showed great compassion for my aunt during her final months. We will be forever grateful to Loli and her staff for helping us during our time of need. There are few truly caring souls, who will give their all for those in need. Always Best Care is owned and operated by such a person, and her employees share this great gift.”
“I am a current client of this provider Always Best Care is good. At this point, I’m just having compassionship, encouragement, lighthousework, and preparing meals. I would recommend them because they’re good, efficient, and caring.”
“Very pleased with Loli and her entire team. Top to bottom great service and very professional. Would highly recommend here and her excellent staff to anyone seeking this form of service in the South Bay”
“Loli and Best Care was the perfect fit to take care of Mom for the last 2 years. Loli insured that we had the wonderful and attentive care givers. I never had to worry about Mom. I knew she had the best care and was able to stay in her home because of the care and support provided. I would recommend Loli and Best Care to all her are looking for care for someone they love. Thanks Loli for everything.”
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 Center Park in Inglewood, 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 1010 Wine and Events or visit Centinela Adobe, 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 Inglewood, 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 Inglewood, 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 Inglewood, 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.

Tom’s Watch Bar, a national sports bar chain known for its immersive viewing experience and expansive menu, is getting ready to open in Inglewood at 3900 W Century Blvd.
The company’s second Los Angeles location appears to be opening at The Lum Hotel Los Angeles Stadium District, which is already home to Cork & Batter, according to a recent liquor license application. While an exact opening date has not been announced, the application suggests plans are underway. Guests can expect Tom’s signature wall-to-wall screens, a wide-ranging food and drink menu, and a game-day-focused atmosphere.
The Inglewood site would be the brand’s first location outside of Downtown Los Angeles, where it currently operates at 1011 S. Figueroa St., near Crypto.com Arena. The sports bar is renowned for its 360-degree viewing environments, featuring over 180 screens, oversized stadium displays, and programming that includes “every game, every day.”
Founded in Denver, Tom’s Watch Bar has expanded to over a dozen major markets across the U.S., including Las Vegas, Phoenix, Orlando, Houston, and Washington, D.C. The brand often targets entertainment and sports hubs, aligning its concept with high-foot-traffic areas near stadiums and arenas.
Menu highlights include pickle-brined chicken tenders, birria mac and cheese, butter-poached lobster and shrimp tacos, and poke bowls. The restaurant also offers dietary options such as vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free items, along with a full bar featuring specialty cocktails, mocktails, beer, and wine.
The upcoming Inglewood location positions Tom’s Watch Bar in proximity to SoFi Stadium, YouTube Theater, and Kia Forum, likely aiming to attract sports fans and concertgoers. Based on public records, the addition would further solidify The Lum Hotel’s emerging status as a dining and entertainment destination.

Midland High was in control for most of its football game against visiting Inglewood (Calif.) on Thursday night.
However, the Bulldogs couldn’t put away the Sentinels.
Inglewood scored 35 second-half points to stun Midland High with a 43-42 comeback victory in a battle of California vs. Texas at Astound Broadband Stadium.
The Sentinels (2-3) fought back from a 28-8 halftime deficit and a 35-15 deficit in the third quarter to down the Bulldogs (1-4) in their non-district finale.
Semaj Welch had 15 carries for 132 yards and four second-half touchdowns to lead Inglewood’s rally.
MHS squandered a 331-yard performance from its ground game and a fine showing by senior Wyatt King, who ran 18 times for 135 yards and two TDs.
Leading 42-35, the Bulldogs shanked a punt, giving Inglewood possession on their own 26 with a delay of game penalty tacked on to the end of the play.
The Sentinels took advantage of the short field when Welch scored on a 22-yard TD run with 2 minutes, 36 seconds remaining.
Inglewood followed with a 2-point pass from Lincoln Jahn to Donovin Randolph to take its first lead of the game at 43-42.
On the ensuing possession, Stanford commit Sarrell Howard sacked MHS for an 8-yard loss on fourth-and-10 at the Bulldog 32, leading to a turnover on downs and essentially sealing the game for Inglewood.
“I’m thankful for Midland, Texas, for hosting us,” Sentinels head coach Mil’Von James said. “We’re super grateful for the opportunity. It’s a wonderful atmosphere. Texas football is pretty impressive. But our team, the grit and tenacity that we talk about and resiliency. We talk about the core values of our program and discipline and resiliency are one of the key factors. The kids showed that in the second half and they fought back to a victory.”
Trailing 28-8 at halftime, Inglewood started the second half on a positive when Welch scored on a 48-yard run on the Sentinels’ first drive.
MHS responded when backup quarterback Holt Howard completed a 17-yard TD pass to Ross Blackburn, extending their lead to 35-15 with 3:37 left in the third quarter.
However, Inglewood followed with a 63-yard kickoff return by SMU commit Andre Nickerson, which set up a 10-yard TD run from Welch. The Sentinels trailed 35-21 with 3:16 left in the third.
MHS gave Inglewood a chance to get back into it when it fumbled on its next possession.
The Sentinels cashed in when Jahn threw a 30-yard TD pass to Allen Wilson on third-and-22, narrowing their deficit to 35-27 with 23 seconds left in the third quarter.
The Dawgs answered on their next drive when sophomore Evan Taylor scored on a 13-yard run, pushing MHS to a 42-27 lead with 10:03 remaining.
Inglewood had slim chance to win when it faced a fourth-and-8 on its own 27 on next possession, but Jahn completed a 41-yard pass to Wilson to keep the Sentinels’ hopes alive.
Two plays later, Welch scored on a 9-yard TD run and the Sentinels added a 2-point conversion, narrowing their deficit to 42-35 with 7:59 left.
“Anytime you lose the lead like that, it falls on one guy and that’s on me,” Bulldogs head coach Thad Fortune said. “I’ve got to find a way to help our team to close out games better than I did tonight. We just didn’t execute, frankly, in all three phases of the game in the second half and credit to Inglewood, who made some outstanding plays. They’ve got great players and they found a way to get them the ball and get stops when they needed to and make big plays when they needed to.
“It’s crushing for our kids and our staff and our community and a lot of people work really hard for this thing. It’s disheartening to let them down like that. We’ve got to bounce back and get ready for district play.”
MHS hosts Wolfforth Frenship in its District 2-6A opener at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 10.
The Bulldogs went into halftime with 28-8 lead when Love scored on a 1-yard run as time expired. Love rushed for two TDs.
“I don’t think for one second that anyone on our side underestimated these guys,” Fortune said. “We’ve seen three games of tape on them. We knew how talented they were and how explosive they could be. We were able to bottle them up for a little bit, but we just couldn’t hold on. A lot of credit to them for traveling and playing the way they did tonight. It was an unbelievable job by Coach James and his staff, an outstanding job. I’m disappointed that I couldn’t get it done for our players and our staff and our community.”
Carter Anderson had six carries for 75 yards for the Bulldogs; Jordan McGowan had 36 rushing yards and 28 receiving yards on two catches; and Izaiah Miller had four carries for 32 yards and a TD.
MHS safety Carson Ham had his team-leading fifth interception in the first quarter.

Midland High, for the second straight year, has sought competition from a highly regarded high school football state to fill its fifth pre-district date.
The Bulldogs (1-3) host Inglewood, California, (1-3) at 7 p.m. Thursday at Astound Broadband Stadium.
MHS beat Lantana (Fla.) Santaluces, 56-31, at Astound Broadband Stadium during its fifth game of the 2024 season.
Bulldogs head coach Thad Fortune said the school district used Brian Hercules to arrange the matchup with Inglewood after he set up last year’s meeting with Santaluces. Hercules is based out of Scottsdale, Arizona, and runs a service setting up out-of-state football games.
Inglewood is coming off a 10-1 season in 2024 and has gone 58-7 since Mil’Von James first took over as head coach in 2019.
MHS had to look to the Golden State to fill its fifth game because during 2024 UIL realignment there were only three six-team Class 6A districts in the state with District 2 and Districts 31-32 in the Rio Grande Valley, which can play each other.
“Everybody is in district play already, so you can't find a game and so we just had to do everything we could,” Fortune said. “Last year we were able to bring in a team from Florida and this year a great, great football team from Inglewood, California. They’re really athletic and have talent all over the field. They fly around, they're big, they're fast, so we're gonna have to really prepare well. We’ve got a short week, and we’ve got to have a great week of preparation and get ready to go.”
The Bulldogs’ triple-option offense amassed 556 rushing yards during a 70-35 road win over El Paso Montwood last Friday.
MHS wasn’t stopped once on offense as senior quarterback Tristan Love threw two touchdown passes; senior slot Jordan McGowan scored three TDs and had 162 total yards from scrimmage; sophomore running back Evan Taylor ran eight times for 157 yards and two TDs; senior running back Wyatt King had 13 carries for 106 yards and a TD; and senior Izaiah Miller had 11 attempts for 85 rushing yards and two TDs.
The Bulldogs will face a talented Inglewood front that includes Stanford commit Sarrel Howard at edge rusher and two four-star defensive linemen Elija Harmon and Myels Smith.
Harmon holds offers from the likes of Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas Tech and USC, while Smith has received offers from Nebraska, Ohio State, UCLA and USC.
Two other Inglewood defensive linemen also have D1 offers.
The Sentinels’ offense is highlighted by a pair of talented tight ends in SMU commit Andre Nickerson and Division I recruit Luke Lopez.
“They've got skill guys everywhere that can go to the house, and then on defense, they're long and they're big and they can run,” Fortune said. “It’s really going to be a big-time test for us. We'll have to do what we do really well with our with our fundamentals and our pad level. Like we talked about every week, offensively, we've got to stay on schedule and not turn the ball over.”
Fortune says one of the goals this week is to play complementary football as the offense played its best game of the season against Montwood, but the Bulldog defense struggled to slow down a Rams offense that put up 419 total yards and scored 35 points.
“We’ve got to work on putting it all together, just playing great offense, playing great defense, working together with complementary football,” Fortune said. “We're getting closer. We're getting closer to that every week, and we’ve just got to keep working towards that as we get into closer and closer district to district play.”
BULLDOG BITES
– Six different Bulldogs scored touchdowns against Montwood.
Even some unexpected players scored late in the game after nearly a two-hour weather delay as sophomore quarterback Holt Howard had a 4-yard TD run and senior linebacker Chris Bowers intercepted a pass for a 35-yard TD return.
“Our kids did a good job staying focused and came out after the weather delay, and we kind of separated ourselves a little bit,” Fortune said. “We were able to get the ground game going and of course that opens up everything else for us. Then we were able to get some guys in like Holt getting in there and playing. He's been doing great on special teams, and he is going to be a great quarterback for us one day. We were able to see guys make plays.”
–Senior defensive back Jayden Guzman had a team-high 12 tackles against Montwood, followed by eight tackles each from senior linebacker Lucas Ramirez, senior safety Jojo Lievens and junior safety Carson Ham. Ham had his fourth interception of the season. Ham has an interception in all four games for MHS. Guzman and senior linebacker Robert Hardin led the team with two passes defensed.

LOS ANGELES (September 10, 2025) – KPC Development Company announces the topping out of Kali Hotel and Rooftop, Autograph Collection, a $300-million, 300-key hotel rising at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California. This milestone brings the only hotel permitted within the Hollywood Park Specific Plan one step closer to its anticipated opening in September 2026.
The symbolic raising of the ceremonial steel beam marks the topping out achievement, signaling completion of the building’s structural frame. With this major phase complete, visible progress continues throughout the site, with windows already installed on the third floor and advancing on higher levels, while concrete has been poured for the hotel’s 12th-floor rooftop and helistop.
At the ceremony held on September 10, 2025, local dignitaries and leadership from the City of Inglewood, Clayco builders, Hollywood Park, and KPC Development Company recognized the contributions of individuals instrumental in the project’s construction phase.
“Kali Hotel represents KPC’s inaugural luxury project in Los Angeles, with more developments planned for the market,” said Dr. Kali P. Chaudhuri, Chairman and Founder of KPC Development Company. “We broke ground less than 11 months ago on this project driven by vision and passion. Today’s ceremony demonstrates substantial progress on what is the only hospitality destination of its kind in Greater Los Angeles. The hotel has already received great interest ahead of premier sporting events in 2027 and beyond.”
Located next to SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater, Kali Hotel and Rooftop sits within walking distance of Intuit Dome, Kia Forum, NFL Los Angeles West Coast headquarters, and the forthcoming Hollywood Park Studios. The hotel is ideally positioned to serve visitors to the area’s world-class entertainment venues, business travelers, and residents of Inglewood.
Upon opening under the management of Crescent Hotels & Resorts, Kali Hotel and Rooftop joins Autograph Collection Hotels, the distinctive premium brand of independent hotels in Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary brands. Kali Hotel and Rooftop embraces Los Angeles’ dynamic spirit—equally playful and fresh, eclectic and glamorous—delivering the art of hospitality with an authentic sense of place. Featuring a 12th-floor restaurant and bar, the expansive rooftop is poised to become a signature destination for elevated dining and entertainment with spectacular views.
The hotel also comprises 300 guest rooms, including 34 suites, and offers a signature all-day dining concept, lobby bar, pool and yoga deck, spa, fitness center, and nearly 20,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Construction continues with exterior work, interior buildout, and design installation led by builder Clayco, architect Lamar Johnson Collaborative (LJC), and Sixteenfifty Creative Intelligence in collaboration with global design firm Gensler on interiors.
Kali Hotel and Rooftop complements the thriving ecosystem taking shape at Hollywood Park, the largest urban mixed-use development under construction in the Western U.S., being built by Los Angeles Rams Owner/Chairman E. Stanley Kroenke. The live, work and play destination recently announced the addition of a state-of-the-art movie studio and production facility to the 300-acre campus. Hollywood Park Studios is under construction and will initially serve as the host site of the International Broadcast Center for one of the world’s biggest sporting events in 2028, housing hundreds of global media rights holders. The nearby NFL Los Angeles has been designated the Main Press Center, further solidifying Hollywood Park’s position as a hub for media, entertainment and technology.
