Home Care In Los Angeles, CA

Home Care Los Angeles, 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 Bradbury Building 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 Los Angeles, 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.”

“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.”

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.”

TESTIMONIALS

“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.”

“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!”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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 Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar or visit Hollyhock House, 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.

Benefits of Home Care in Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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:

  • Hollywood Hills Senior Living
  • Belmont Village Senior Living Westwood
  • Senior Meridian Assisted Living Facilities & Retirement Communities Los Angeles CA
  • Sakura Gardens of Los Angeles
  • Belmont Village Senior Living Hollywood Hills
  • LA Assisted Living
Home Care Los Angeles, 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.

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

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

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 Los Angeles, CA 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.

Los Angeles, CA (July 15, 2025) – Emergency responders were quick to the scene Monday night after a serious vehicle collision occurred in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, leaving several people with injuries. The crash was reported at approximately 9:28 p.m. at the intersection of N Wilton Pl and W Sunset Blvd.

First responders, including fire and medical crews from Los Angeles Fire Department, arrived swiftly to assess and treat those hurt in the crash. The accident involved at least two vehicles and caused a significant disruption to local traffic as emergency teams worked to clear the scene and assist victims.

Authorities have not yet released specific details about the number of individuals injured, but confirmed that a variety of injuries were sustained in the incident. Those hurt received medical attention at the scene, and at least one individual was reportedly transported to a nearby hospital for further care.

Traffic in the area was impacted for an extended period while crews worked to investigate the circumstances and ensure safety for other drivers. The intersection of N Wilton Pl and W Sunset Blvd, a busy corridor in Hollywood, remained partially closed during the response.

At this time, the cause of the collision is under investigation by local law enforcement. Officials have not yet indicated whether impairment, distraction, or speed played a role. Updates are expected as the investigation continues.

Our thoughts are with all those affected by this crash as they recover.

Collisions like the one that occurred at N Wilton Pl and W Sunset Blvd highlight the risks drivers face daily on California’s urban roads. Heavily traveled intersections in dense neighborhoods such as Hollywood are particularly vulnerable to accidents, especially during nighttime hours when visibility is reduced and congestion remains high.

The Monday evening crash not only disrupted a central Hollywood corridor but also resulted in a range of injuries that required immediate medical attention. Events like these underscore the importance of enhanced awareness, timely emergency response, and the continued need for public education around intersection safety.

One of the critical challenges in areas like Los Angeles is balancing pedestrian activity, heavy vehicle traffic, and frequent stops. Drivers must remain alert and cautious, particularly at intersections known for frequent incidents. According to state transportation data, intersections with high foot traffic and multiple lanes—like the one at Wilton and Sunset—are among the top locations for serious crashes.

In the aftermath of such incidents, access to the right support and resources is vital. Victims may face not only physical injuries but also emotional stress, lost wages, and complex insurance claims. Understanding local traffic laws, documenting injuries, and seeking prompt legal or medical guidance can make a major difference during recovery.

USC signals layoffs as deficit surpasses $200 million amid ‘volatile external environment’

Citing a budget deficit in excess of $200 million, the University of Southern California’s interim president said Monday that an undisclosed number of layoffs and other belt-tightening measures would be implemented to “deal decisively with our financial challenges.”

Beong-Soo Kim wrote in a letter addressed to faculty and staff that USC is “experiencing significant shifts in federal support” for its research and other programs — a product of the Trump administration’s sweeping effort to cut billions of dollars in grants — and also faces “potential decreases in international student enrollment.”

At the same time, Kim said, USC’s expenses have “significantly outpaced” its revenue for several years.

Recent cost-cutting — including a hiring freeze announced in March — hasn’t been enough. Kim said that by the end of the fiscal year that concluded in June, the university’s deficit had mushroomed to more than $200 million, a notable increase from $158 million a year earlier.

In addition to layoffs, Kim said, USC will also sell unused properties and adjust compensation for its highest earners, among other moves. He added: “By taking these tough actions now, I am absolutely confident that USC can and will emerge stronger, ready to continue transforming lives and benefiting our society for generations to come.”

Universities across the country have reeled in recent months as President Trump has upended decades of norms in higher education, with tens of billions of dollars of federal funds threatened or withheld.

In March, the University of California announced a systemwide hiring freeze and cuts in several areas amid Trump’s threats to slash its research funding. In late June, Stanford disclosed $140 million in general operating fund cuts and related layoffs for the upcoming 2025-26 academic year, citing “significant uncertainty about how federal support for universities will evolve.”

And last week, Boston University announced it would give pink slips to about 120 staff members in an attempt to reduce its budget by 5%.

Kim said it’s possible that a university with the scale of USC could lose federally sponsored research funding worth more than $300 million annually.

Referencing today’s “volatile external environment,” Kim said that the university would “continue to advocate for the vital importance of research and our academic mission,” but added, “we cannot rely on the hope that federal support will revert to historical levels.”

Some at USC see things differently from the interim president.

In interviews, two university employees acknowledged how grave the federal funding losses could be — but they also cited several pricey projects that they believe have hurt USC’s finances. Those endeavors include the construction of the Bloom Football Performance Center, which broke ground in November; the installation of enhanced security measures in the aftermath of spring 2024 protests over Israel’s war in Gaza; and the opening of the university’s Capital Campus in Washington, D.C., in 2023.

Sanjay Madhav, an associate professor of practice at the USC Viterbi engineering school, said that these and other costly ventures were part of a “series of poor decisions” made by university leadership in recent years.

“The administration has made a lot of irresponsible financial decisions,” said Madhav, who is involved in a union organizing effort for non-tenure track professors. “The regular employees, they ultimately pay the price for the poor decisions.”

In an email, The Times described some of the criticism and asked the university for comment. In response, a spokeswoman for USC said that the “information that is available” was in Kim’s letter.

The interim president did not indicate how many people would lose their jobs or provide other details about the cuts. “That USC is not alone in having to take these difficult actions does not make this news any less disappointing or painful to hear,” he said.

Kim’s letter comes just days after The Times reported on a trim within USC’s athletics department, including the laying off of six people and elimination of another six positions. Among the departures was Paul Perrier, an executive senior associate athletic director.

It’s not clear if the cuts at the athletics department are part of the layoffs described by Kim; asked about those reductions, the university spokeswoman again referred The Times to the interim president’s letter.

Uncertainty over the size and scale of the looming job cuts has left workers demoralized, said Phil Turner, who has worked at the university since 2009 and is associate director of USC Housing. He also serves as president of the USC Staff Assembly, which advocates for employees.

“Staff morale is in tatters — I think it is the worst it has ever been in the 16 years I’ve been here,” said Turner, who was speaking as an employee and not in an official capacity. “I think everybody is just aching for some sort of win or positive momentum, but it is not there. Obviously, we need to course correct as a university.”

Kim’s letter said that he welcomed feedback and directed readers to a web page where they could offer suggestions about the university’s “financial resilience efforts.”

But Madhav said that it would be hard to weigh in with so few details known about the university’s plan. Instead, what he’s hoping for is concrete information about the impending job reductions.

“If anyone is going to be laid off, they’d like to know with as much notice as possible,” he said. “Especially given how difficult the job market is now.”

PLAYA VISTA, CA — Propel off towers several feet tall, free-fall and glide through a slide and swing around the sky this summer through a children's day camp offered at a Los Angeles County rock climbing gym.

Sender One, with locations in Westwood and two near the South Bay, opened up their children's day camp earlier this month, with interactive ways for children ages 6 to 13 to enjoy their summer break.

The day camp runs through Aug. 15, and features several activities, including bouldering, art projects, slacklining, wall climbing and king swinging.

"With 29,000 square feet of fun, Sender One goes beyond the average summer camp," according to the company. "Kids can learn to climb and participate in fun group activities that build confidence, encourage teamwork, and improve coordination and strength."

Sender One's LAX location features Sender City — an interactive wall climbing center exclusive to the location — with several adrenaline-filled challenges, including jumping off a platform several dozen feet in the air and a free-fall slide.

Here are the prices and times for each camp, which run Monday through Friday until Aug. 15:

Sender One LAX ($549 per camper) — Split into two time sessions, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., this camp includes access to Sender City, bouldering, games, rope climbing, slacklining and king swinging.

Sender One Playa Vista ($229 per camper) — This summer runs from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and includes the same activities as Sender One LAX, except for Sender City.

Sender One Westwood ($229 per camper) — This summer runs from 9 a.m. to noon and includes the same activities as the Playa Vista location.

Sender One also has locations in Lakewood and Orange County, but those do not offer children's day camps.

At least four firefighters injured while battling Northern California wildfires

At least four firefighters have been injured over the last week while battling three wildfires in Northern California forests that are burning amid extreme heat in steep, bone-dry terrain, fire officials said Monday.

One firefighter combating the barely contained Green fire in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest sustained a blunt force trauma wound while working on the fire line Saturday, said Deanna Younger, a spokeswoman for California Interagency Management Team 10, the incident command team overseeing the fire response.

Another firefighter suffered a heat-related injury Sunday, she said. Both were treated at a hospital and released.

Two firefighters working on the Orleans Complex — two blazes burning in Del Norte and Siskiyou counties — were stricken with heat illness amid temperatures that have topped 110 degrees in recent days, said Paul Meznarich, a spokesman for the multi-agency team coordinating the response to those fires.

“Everyone is very mindful of the heat effects,” Meznarich said.

With nearly 700 firefighters working for multiple days in triple-digit temperatures, crews are “managing the heat well under the circumstances,” he added.

For those fighting the blazes — which, combined, have charred more than 21,000 acres of forest since July 1 — the conditions have been extremely challenging, fire officials said. The remote areas are steep, thickly forested and bone-dry.

“It is very, very dry right now, and we’re still around 100 degrees,” Younger said of the Green fire region Monday morning. “We are not getting good humidity recovery at night.”

The Green fire — burning on the eastern side of Shasta Lake near the Pit River between Interstate 5 and Highway 299 — was sparked by lightning the evening of July 1, according to the U.S. Forest Service.

It had burned 13,366 acres and was 5% contained as of Tuesday.

On July 1 and 2, the Shasta-Trinity National Forest saw more than 3,100 lightning strikes, which sparked more than two dozen fires, most of which were small and quickly extinguished by firefighters who had been “positioned throughout the forest in anticipation of wildfires caused by lightning strikes,” according to the Forest Service.

“The Forest Service was able to catch all of them except this one,” Younger said of the Green fire. “That’s because this one was so inaccessible.”

Firefighters are gaining access to some areas that are unreachable by vehicle or foot by taking boats to more accessible areas and climbing in with their gear, Younger said. Fighting the blaze by air, she added, has been complicated because there is a thick tree canopy, and water cannot reach the fire burning in vegetation close to the ground.

Planes also have not been able to fly amid heavy smoke, fire officials said.

More than 1,400 firefighters were assigned to the blaze as of Monday. Two so-called Super Scooper airplanes — each of which can hold 1,600 gallons of water — arrived from Canada on Sunday, according to the Forest Service.

The Super Scoopers, which require a mile of open water to refill their onboard tanks, are expected to use multiple arms of Shasta Lake, which fills with recreational boaters during the peak summer tourist season.

“The physics involved in the contest between a fully loaded plane and recreational watercraft are unfortunate at best,” the Forest Service said in a statement asking boaters to avoid areas where firefighting aircraft were operating.

To the west, two blazes — the Butler and Red fires — were being managed by the same incident command team as the Orleans Complex fire.

The Butler fire, which was reported amid a lightning storm July 3, had burned roughly 8,156 acres in the Six Rivers and Klamath national forests and was completely uncontained as of Tuesday afternoon, Meznarich said.

The fire was burning between the tiny towns of Orleans and Forks of Salmon, the latter of which was, on Monday, under an evacuation warning issued by the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office.

It was burning within the 2024 Boise fire, the 2020 Salmon fire and the 2013 Butler fire footprints, according to the Forest Service.

Firefighters, some patrolling on boats, were working to keep the fire from jumping the Salmon River because areas east of it had not recently burned and had more dense vegetation, Meznarich said.

The 116-acre Red fire, which was 95% contained on Tuesday, was burning in the Siskiyou Wilderness in Del Norte County, Meznarich said. It started July 6.

In rural San Luis Obispo County, the massive Madre fire — the largest in California this year — was 91% contained as of Tuesday.

The Central Coast blaze began July 2 east of Santa Maria near the town of New Cuyama and has burned nearly 81,000 acres. As of Tuesday, 336 firefighters were battling the blaze.

Homelessness Declines In LA County For 2nd Year: Annual Numbers Released

Despite the decline, officials warned that more housing will be needed to continue the downward trend.

LOS ANGELES, CA — The Greater Los Angeles region experienced a second consecutive year-over-year decline in people experiencing homelessness, according to figures released Monday, but authorities warned that more housing will be needed to continue the downward trend.

The annual point-in-time homeless count showed there was a 4% decrease in homeless people across the county, while in the city of Los Angeles, there was a 3.4% drop, according to data released by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, which was created as a joint city-county organization overseeing funding and programming to address the homelessness crisis. Los Angeles County has since opted to pull funding from the agency and create its own homelessness department.

"Homelessness has gone down two years in a row because we chose to act with urgency and reject the broken status quote of leaving people on the street until housing was built," Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement responding to the latest numbers.

Data showed that unsheltered homelessness in the county declined by 9.5% in 2025 compared to the prior year, and it has dropped by 14% over the last two years. Additionally, there has been about an 8.5% increase of unhoused individuals entering interim housing, such as shelters and other forms of temporary housing.

In the city of L.A., unsheltered homelessness declined by 7.9% in 2025, and it has dropped by 17.5% over the last two years. LAHSA reported there has been a 4.7% increase in unhoused individuals entering temporary housing in the city.

The 2025 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count was conducted over the course of three days, Feb. 18-20, after it was postponed in January due to the devastating wildfires that ravaged areas of L.A. County and city.

LAHSA cited city and county initiatives such as Inside Safe and A Pathway Home for the decline in unsheltered homelessness. The agency also touted an increase in permanent housing placements, a record high of 27,994 in 2024, which has contributed to the positive results.

LAHSA noted that the region still needs more than 485,000 affordable housing units to meet the need in the region.

County Supervisors Lindsey Horvath, Kathryn Barger, and Hilda Solis hailed the homeless count results, and also noted that more work remains.

"But 72,308 people are still living without permanent shelter. We can, and must, do more," Horvath said in a statement. "At this pace, it would take three centuries to end homelessness in Los Angeles County. Every day, seven lives are being lost on our streets — an unacceptable reality that demands bold, coordinated action."

She noted that the county's new homelessness department will meet the urgency of the moment, adding that it is expected to "streamline services, break through bureaucracy, and deliver results across all 88 cities and unincorporated communities."

Solis and Barger echoed their colleague in statements issued Monday afternoon, which similarly noted that the new county entity will strengthen efforts to reduce homelessness.

Homelessness in the county in 2019 stood at 58,936 people, with the city of Los Angeles accounting for a majority of that figure with 35,550 individuals.

In the following years, homelessness ballooned across the L.A. region as a result of several factors, such as a lack of affordable housing and the coronavirus pandemic. The crisis reached its highest point in 2023 when LAHSA recorded 75,518 homeless people in the county with 46,260 of them in the city.

Elected officials and homeless service providers marked 2024 as a pivotal point when the annual homeless count showed the first decline — a slight decline — in homelessness. That year, LAHSA recorded 75,312 homeless people in the county with 45,252 of them in the city.

In 2025, those figures further dropped to 72,308 homeless people in the county, with about 43,669 of them in the city.

Across the region, there was a 12.6% decrease in various encampments on streets, LAHSA reported, meaning there was a reduction of people living in their cars, vans, recreational vehicles, tents and other makeshift shelters.

The city of Los Angeles experienced a similar reduction in temporary street encampments of about 13.5%. In 2024, LAHSA recorded 12,717 street dwellings compared to 11,010 of these structures in 2025.

The homeless count encompasses what is known as the Los Angeles Continuum of Care, covering most cities and unincorporated areas in the region except Pasadena, Glendale and Long Beach.

According to the 2025 Homeless Count, data continued to show a disproportionate number of Black people experiencing homelessness, while Latinos remain the largest ethnic group experiencing homelessness in the region.

Benjamin Henwood, director of the Homelessness Policy Research Institute at USC, told City News Service in a telephone interview there was a margin of error of about plus-or-minus 1,300 people, based on a 1.75 multiplier.

The USC team conducted a separate survey, during which members interviewed about 5,000 unsheltered people, who were encountered at randomly selected Census tracts through the county. Henwood said the margin of error comes from estimating the number of unsheltered people who live in those dwelling units.

"For most people seeing these numbers and seeing fewer people on the streets, and more people in shelters, is interpreted as a step in the right direction," Henwood told CNS.

"To be clear, and we have seen an overall decrease in numbers, which again is a positive sign, but shelter, in and of itself, is not a solution to homelessness," he added.

He emphasized that the homelessness crisis is challenging to address but he hoped that we will continue to make progress.

"I don't know that this should be regarded as a celebration of sorts, given the difficulties ahead, especially with the changing federal landscape," Henwood added.

The Trump administration has stated its intent to reduce federal funding for an initiative known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, or Section 8, which helps low-income families, elderly people, veterans and disabled individuals afford housing.

At the state and county levels, due to budget constraints, funding for homeless services was also reduced.

Meanwhile, federal immigration enforcement activities are a cause for concern as well.

"...That could have an indirect impact, or really a direct impact on our homelessness rates, given how those ICE (U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement) raids affect the labor market," Henwood added. "So, that's also a big concern beyond just like the homeless service system."
