What drives our passion for expert care services
To work as a united team providing the best senior care in the world, with the broadest range of services, and the most loving and consistent care anywhere
To be the leader in compassionate senior care
We are committed to providing you with the best care for your specific needs
In the mid-1990’s, just outside of Sacramento, California, Michael Newman felt frustrated by the lack of resources for seniors in his community. An owner and operator of facilities for seniors, he saw many seniors and their loved ones arrive at his facilities confused and overwhelmed after trying to find the right assisted living community. This frustration eventually shaped his vision: To create a company that would serve seniors in the community by providing trusted care, compassionate support, and professional advice.
In 1996, Michael acted on his vision and founded Always Best Care. Since that time, Always Best Care has become one of the nation’s leading providers of non-medical in-home care, senior living referral services and home health care. Always Best Care was formed with the belief and agenda of taking the burden off of the families’ shoulders and putting it on our own. People with passion have made Always Best Care what it is today. Although times may change, our foundation never will.
Michael Newman believes that a successful senior care company is built on successful relationships at every level, in all directions. The things that make every relationship work make business relationships work too – caring, trust, respect, and communication. These are the values that guide our relationships with our clients, franchisees, employees, vendors, our community, and everyone we touch. Caring relationships are the foundation of our work – a sincere concern for the betterment of life that goes beyond just doing what is required, but doing the most we can for the seniors entrusted to our care.
Always Best Care began franchising in 2007 and today provides services through a network of more than 225 franchised territories across the United States and Canada.
Since 1996, Always Best Care has helped thousands of families with non-medical in-home care and assisted living referral services. In select markets, we’ve also added skilled home care for clients that suffer from illness or injury.
Our passion for helping people maintain a safe, independent, and dignified lifestyle represents the strong foundation of Always Best Care. Every client receives extraordinary care in an inspiring environment with caring and compassionate people. Our Care Coordinators have worked with thousands of seniors across the country, and we’re always ready to help you!
Our vision:
The Always Best Care resources include an extensive library to help you make better-informed decisions on senior care and more. Our vision is to work as a united TEAM providing the best senior care in the world – with the broadest range of services, and the most loving and consistent care anywhere.

“For the past three years, this agency has been an incredible source of support for both my mom and our family. Their caregivers provided compassionate, dependable daily care that allowed my mom to remain in her home while receiving the companionship, kindness, and assistance she needed. As her daughter, there is no greater gift than the peace of mind of knowing your loved one is safe, cared for, and treated with dignity. Their team consistently gave me that sense of security and comfort. When it became clear that my mom needed around-the-clock care, they didn’t just end their services—they guided me through the difficult transition and helped me find a wonderful 24-hour live-in care facility. Their knowledge, compassion, and genuine concern made an emotional time so much easier to navigate. I am deeply grateful for everything they did for my mom and for me. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate senior home care. They truly made a difference in our lives.”
“We had a fantastic experience, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. It’s the kind of professional service I only wish I’d known about sooner. Anyone with elderly parents understands how difficult it can be to manage their needs from afar, but they made the entire process so much easier and far less stressful. My parents were paired with Idalia, who was absolutely perfect for them. She showed up every day with a warm, positive, and engaging attitude, and she truly made my parents feel cared for, comfortable, and supported.This is a solid company, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking compassionate and reliable care for their loved ones.”
“Always Best Care is an excellent company! It was pleasant end easy for us from very beginning- to to discuss our needs and signed contract. My husband had memories problems and he was on a wheelchair, So he was needed not only an assistance with meals and bathrooms but he also was needed help with making phone calls and some assistance with his office routine matters. We have a few caregivers from this company working with us. They all were very professional and were always in time. Also it was always easy to contact to the office and make changes ( days and times). Especially I want to mention Stephanie Coron – she made my life easier – she not only provided a great care for my husband, she gave me an emotional support and a piece of mind during very difficult time for my family. She was absolutely reliable and trustful help, that I only could imagine! I feel blessed to use services of company Always Best Care ! Elena A.”
“I am writing this review about Nicole Rogers who has been caring for my mom and dad for years. Unfortunately, my dad passed in Janurary and my mom had major eye surgery and was not home for a while. Still, when my mom came home, Nicole was ready to return. My mom (and dad) both love Nicole so very much. She is kind, loving and extremely caring. My siblings and I are beyond grateful for all of her help and care. She is a true blessing.”
“My experiences with Always Best Senior Healthcare has been very positive & valuable in helping us & providing care for my spouse & I both during our most difficult time thus far in our lives. I would like to express our gratitude, appreciation & trust and to commend Barry Ruthruff & Josephina both for the care, compassion, comfort & help they have provided to us. I would also like to express appreciation for the help & guidance that Sandra Mendoza has provided to us from the beginning. Carl Stevenson & Joe Granado”
“A big thank you to everyone that has helped with my mom Verla. Anna, Stacey, Rebecca, Roxy, and I know there are a few more that can’t remember right now. They have been such a help to us while we navigate vascular dementia and how it is affecting Verla. Everyone has been so kind and patient, such a great service they provide. Mike Jones,”
“We had a great experience using Always Best Care Senior Services. The caregiver they provided, Michelle, was just amazing. I highly recommend them. For more detail: I needed someone to monitor my spouse after he had an outpatient procedure. Michelle arrived on time at 7:00 PM and stayed until 7:00 AM for two consecutive nights. She was excellent in all aspects. I also appreciated that Always Best Care Services was a preferred provider with our long term care company. They were very accommodating when my spouse’s surgery needed to be rescheduled. I originally thought we would need 4 days of care. They do require a deposit for the full amount of the care but quickly refunded me for 2 days of service when we only required 2 days. They also sent the invoice directly to the long term care insurance company. Again I highly recommend them.”

“I’m extremely impressed with the care at Always Best Healthcare. I felt they went above and beyond taking care of my elderly family member. Their employees are compassionate and caring. The management was always easy to reach and eager to make sure every need our family member had was meet.”
“ABC has been an excellent source of support for our family. Esther, in particular, has repeatedly gone above and beyond with her care. We are very grateful.”
“In seeking in-home substitute caregiving for my father, I worked with Sandra and Always Best Care starting in December 2024. We utilized their substitutes off and on through 10/1/2025. The caregiving services provided were both scheduled in advance but also, a couple of times, within hours of the need. Always Best routinely came through! Sandra also assisted in helping me find a great “Room and Care” situation to which my father moved in October 2025. Thank you very much for your help over the almost one year period of time.”
“My family has had the most wonderful experience with ABC Senior Services. Sandra has been available to help us with any questions or concerns we have had about care for my aging mother. She provided in home care when we needed it and then recommended and showed us a number of retirement homes when it was time to move my mother to a care facility, one of which was just perfect for my mom. We have been so thankful to have found Sandra and ABC Senior Services to walk us through this challenging time.”
“Always Best Care responded to my needs quickly and efficiently . I was drowning with care giving and they provided a care giver with very short notice. They also worked with me for the time I would need help, even though it was not the normal working hours. Some say care giver services are too expensive but I found their rates reasonable and worth more that i paid given the peace of mind i got .”
“I am a current client of this provider I am using Always Best Care of Desert Cities for my parents. I think we are about eight weeks now. Initially, it was in-home care eight hours a day, and it has just been boosted to 24 hours a day. They provide light housekeeping, meals, and activities of daily life. The staffing is very consistent. They’re very good people.”
“Always Best provided excellent physical care as well as very caring emotional support during this very trying time for our family. Sandra Mendoza was always professional and extremely knowledgeable in her role. She was always available to answer questions. Our family would like to especially acknowledge Marissa, one of the aides, who was extremely kind and knowledgeable. She has a very kind heart, and supported us during the transition of our family member.Thank you very much”
“Our family experience an unexpected complex situation. We are so grateful for the support we received, the timely manner in which all issues and questions were worked thru and responded to, and the compassionate and professional care we received. Sandra was knowledgeable and so helpful and Maria, (a caregiver) was tender… offering a friendly smile when tears welled up. We would have been lost and struggling without Always Best Care.”
“ABC was prompt is sending us care when we needed it. Darrell is very attentive, respectful and compassionate with his care.”
“Sandra was amazing, working with me to quickly get care for my mom. Both of the caregivers that they sent were kind, attentive, and professional – exactly the people you want caring for your loved ones. We got mom settled in her new place and I was sad to say goodbye, and won’t hesitate to call them again in the future. Thank you for all you do to help families care for their loved ones, especially during challenging times. ♥️”
“I am a past client of this provider They showed up, and they helped me on the day I needed them. I like the communication and the staff, the caregiver was excellent.”
“I am a past client of this provider The impact was very helpful to my recovery. The agency was on time and helpful, the nurse knew me from a prior incident from 2019 when I had a heart attack. They knew me.”
“I dealt with Lexie as we needed a caregiver for 2 weeks while on vacation in the desert. Lexie was ON IT, every step of the way and so was Shannon, the caregiver supervisor. These ladies even dashed over on Christmas Eve to deliver a gift to our family. Who does that? Our caregiver, Olga, was AMAZING!! She worked non-stop to give us the caregiving we needed. Don’t hesitate using this agency. You will be pleased and happy.”
“My care was terrific. My care giver was awesome and a terrific cook. I will miss her terribly.”
“I am a current client of this provider They have cooperated and tried to help us when we had problems. I like this group; they are so much better than our previous group. So far, they have provided a caregiver that I like and is honest, and they have cooperated with me.”
“Best Care Services provided outstanding care of my sister while she was ill. The Caregivers were compassionate and professional. Best Care’s Management team kept me informed regarding scheduling and other necessary details. I highly recommend Best Care Services.”
“Very professional caregiver service. We needed a caregiver to help out with our 86 year old mom after her leg surgery. Reyna and Eunice provided excellent care and comfort during her recovery. We highly recommend Always Best Care!”
“My 95 year old mother in law fell and we needed help with her home care. Sandra came out quickly to access the situation and she was able to set us up with a wonderful caregiver. Thomas came and gave my MIL excellent care. His cheerful personality and excellent care giving experience exceeded our expectations. I am so thankful to Always Best Care for their first class service.”
“My son in law, just diagnosed with lymphoma, needed care at the last minute. Sondra at Best Care sent Meghan, who was excellent. She helped tremendously with assisting in showering, wheelchair, etc and most importantly gave my exhausted daughter a chance to rest. I highly recommend Meghan and Best Care.”
“I am a current client of this provider They make life easier by being by our side with taking care of something we can’t. They tend to listen to what your needs are.”
“Excellent customer service by organization, timely, courteous and professional . I would definitely use them again when we come down to the desert. Our caregiver, Beatrice, was excellent! I will ask for her again. She couldn’t be kinder or more helpful.”
“Always Best Care provided wonderful in-home care to my uncle while he was on hospice. He came to trust them and enjoyed their companionship. Magon and Rosa were especially excellent. They were diligent about his care and communicated with me.”
“I can’t thank Sandra enough for her care, time and quick responses when I was searching for care for my 92-year-old mother. She took the time to really understand mom’s needs. Mom was so appreciative of Jan, who first took care of her for a one day stay. And then while I was gone for a week, Reyna was an absolutely incredible caregiver. She would ask mom what options she wanted for breakfast lunch and dinner, managed her medication’s, and checked on her throughout the day. What I thought was so special, was my mom said, that Reyna would sit where she could see my mom at all times from any part of the room. It made my mom feel safe. Reyna was helpful around the house, and mom appreciated the meals she cooked. Reyna took notes and left us with dates when food was fixed, etc… Can’t thank the team enough,”
“I am a current client of this provider The people that they have working for them are very thoughtful and caring. They are very responsive and they get coverage when anyone is out sick.”
“Provided my family member with excellent care. Communication was always clear. Returned calls immediately as needed. I will definitely refer my friends and family for their home care needs.”
“I am a current client of this provider They do a good job on the night and day shifts. I would recommend them, but they need to train all their caregivers the same because not all of them are trained the same.”
“When I contacted Always Best Care they sent a caregiver to help my wife do her Activities of daily living. I met the caregiver named JAN MERYLL BELENO and she is really very pleasant woman and my wife and I really enjoyed her company.”
“I love JAN MERYLL BELENO because she cooks great, very lovely and I feel very safe when I am with her. She’s very professional and if ever I will request again a caregiver for my day I will always request her presence because I really only trust her, very caring and attentive with my needs. I really love her when she’s around. Thank you always best care. Jan is the best caregiver ever.”
“Always Best Care Senior Services came highly recommended to me as I needed assistance with finding an assisted living facility for a dear friend and they did not disappoint. Sandra sat down with me and went over exactly what my friends needs were and then provided a list of facilities for me to view and even set the appointments with the administrators for me. She also asked if I would like her to accompany me. She could not have made the process any easier. Many thanks to everyone at Always Best Care for the terrific service they provide, Judy”
“Today Sandra and Bernadette came for the first day with my father. He has had a drastic health decline in the past month and we had to make the decision to hire a caregiver quickly. My father could not have been happier with the care he received from both Sandra and Bernadette. He felt like they treated him like family and made him feel good, despite the many struggles he is having right now. We are so thankful for this wonderful care!”
