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 Coachella Valley Vista Point in Coachella, 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 Coachella, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“If you need care for someone do not look any further. This company is fantastic and transparent with you. I needed care for both my parents for 30 hours a week.

Always Best Care matched us with Maura who is an amazing and caring. Maura would contact me with updates since I lived 3 hours away and was always punctual and helped with any task. Maura is a true asset to the company. My mom can be challenging and she and Maura hit it off great. At Always Best Care you are not hiring just a business but you are gaining a trusted family unit. Lexi offered many resources and checked in regularly to make sure everything was going well. They were flexible and genuinely care. I highly recommend Always Best Care.”
“Barry and Lexi have been wonderful. We are very lucky to have Barry and we liked him so much we extended his hours! thank you! Hayley”
“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.”

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.

“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.”

“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.”
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 Bagdouma Park in Coachella, 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 Le Vallauris Restaurant or visit Miles C Bates 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.
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 Coachella, 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 Coachella, 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 Coachella, CA 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.

Hispanic Heritage Month is just days away, and Very Caliente is celebrating the culture, history and contributions of Latino communities across the United States.
Host Nour Milla and guest Luis Camacho discuss why the month-long celebration is important and what it means to them personally. Milla, who is Colombian, and Camacho, who is Puerto Rican, also highlight the diversity of cultures and traditions represented throughout the Latino community.
Hispanic Heritage Month begins September 15 and runs through October 15. What began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week was later expanded to a month-long observance.
The celebration recognizes the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans in areas including culture, the arts, business and communities across the country.
The Coachella Valley will have an early start to the festivities, with the McCallum Theatre kicking off its new season September 12 with a community block party.
The event begins at 5:30 p.m. and will feature Latin food trucks before the evening concludes with a concert by Ozomatli, the Grammy Award-winning group known for its blend of Latin music, funk and fusion.
Milla and Camacho say events like the McCallum celebration offer an opportunity for people throughout the Valley to experience and celebrate Latino culture through music, food and community.
The conversation also turns to one of the most popular ways to celebrate any culture: food.
Camacho shares his love of Boricua, or Puerto Rican, cuisine, while Milla talks about her appreciation for Mexican food, particularly birria tacos.
From music and food to history and cultural traditions, Hispanic Heritage Month offers an opportunity to recognize the many communities and cultures that contribute to the fabric of the United States.
For Milla and Camacho, it is also a chance to celebrate their own backgrounds while inviting the entire Coachella Valley to join in the celebration.

PALM DESERT, Calif. (KESQ) - If a major earthquake hit the Coachella Valley tomorrow, emergency officials say residents may need to be more self-reliant than they think.
September is National Preparedness Month, and cities across the valley are reviewing how they would respond if roads, communications and other services were disrupted during a large-scale disaster.
That planning includes an uncomfortable reality: even a well-prepared evacuation route may not be usable once the disaster actually happens.
Daniel Hurtado, a senior management analyst with the City of Palm Desert, said cities have to be ready to adjust their plans in real time if damage blocks a route they expected residents to use.
“You have your evacuation plan ready to go, but if something happens and that area which you had preplanned is no longer available, you need to ... create a new plan,” Hurtado said.
Hurtado said transportation is already a major concern because of the limited number of major routes in and out of the Coachella Valley. He said emergency planning also has to happen across city lines because traffic leaving one community can quickly affect neighboring cities.
Palm Springs is currently developing its first focused evacuation plan.
When News Channel 3 spoke with Palm Springs Emergency Manager Daniel DeSelms in August, he said the city had brought together agencies, businesses and other stakeholders to begin working through moderate- and large-scale evacuation scenarios.
DeSelms compared the challenge to the heavy gridlock sometimes seen during hurricane evacuations and said Palm Springs wants to reduce the chances of a similar situation during a local emergency.
Palm Desert is also preparing its own workforce for a major disaster.
Hurtado said all City of Palm Desert employees are designated Disaster Service Workers under state law. The city has more than 160 employees who can be called into the response structure if necessary.
He said the city trains staff through emergency management and incident command programs and conducts exercises that include earthquake scenarios. After a major incident, officials would begin by assessing damage, determining where help is needed most and activating the city's Emergency Operations Center as necessary.
That does not mean help will immediately reach everyone.
Dave Prieto, a member of the California Fire Foundation's board of directors, told News Channel 3 that emergency services would likely prioritize the most serious situations first after a major disaster.
“Emergency services are likely going to be tied up with the most severe issues first,” Prieto said. “Resources will be stretched thin.”
Prieto said one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding earthquakes is believing there will be time to figure out what to do once the shaking begins.
Instead, he said families should make those decisions ahead of time, including where they would meet, what supplies they would need and how they would communicate if normal services stopped working.
Hurtado similarly said residents should be prepared to remain self-sufficient for at least several days after a major disaster, particularly if multiple cities or counties are dealing with damage at the same time.
That preparation does not necessarily require building an expensive emergency kit all at once.
Emergency officials recommend starting with basics including food, water, flashlights, batteries, medications and a household communication plan.
Prieto also encouraged families to think about the needs of children, older adults and people with disabilities when preparing supplies.
Palm Desert officials shared one less obvious preparedness tip: freeze some of the water bottles stored for an emergency.
If the power goes out, the frozen bottles can help keep a refrigerator cold longer. As they melt, they can then become part of a household's drinking-water supply.
The city is also using National Preparedness Month to bring those lessons directly to residents.
Palm Desert will hold an emergency readiness event on Sept. 19 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Palm Desert Community Center. The event is being held in partnership with the Desert Recreation District and Riverside County Emergency Management Department.
Hurtado said more than 30 vendors are expected to attend, along with hands-on training, city information tables and activities aimed at teaching emergency preparedness to both adults and children.
For emergency officials, the larger message is that preparedness is not just about having supplies in a closet.
It is about having a plan for what happens when the systems people normally rely on — roads, phones, utilities and emergency responders — are no longer immediately available.

Local nonprofits are preparing to take the spotlight as Desert Fast Pitch gives organizations an opportunity to build their skills, showcase their impact and compete for critical funding.
The program brings participating nonprofits together for professional development, team building and camaraderie ahead of a semifinal event and grand finale.
Six finalists will ultimately advance to the Oct. 1 grand finale at Agua Caliente Casino, where they will have just three minutes to tell their organization's story, highlight its impact and make a case for funding.
The final presentations will take place before a live audience of community members, stakeholders, funders and business leaders.
Organizers say the program is about more than competition. It is designed to help nonprofits turn their stories and community impact into support while strengthening the organizations behind those efforts.
For the RAP Foundation, which provides programs focused on children and mentorship, participating in Desert Fast Pitch is an opportunity to build the business side of its mission.
"We love what we do, right? It's trying to help kids get instruments and mentorships and scholarships and that," a RAP Foundation representative said. "But you have to have the business behind it, right? And this is where the NPO, the Desert Fast Pitch, comes in."
Another participating nonprofit said the program offers an opportunity to expand its organization throughout the Coachella Valley.
"I think it's a great opportunity to help our organization to continue to move forward with our organization, to expand through the whole Coachella Valley," a representative said.
The organization also provides a mentoring program aimed at helping young boys develop a better understanding of themselves.
