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 the historic San Mateo County History Museum 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 San Mateo, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

After his stabilization, Angela helped me find a wonderful Board & Care facility where my Dad has been living for two years. Last year, when I found that I could no longer take my Dad on outings by myself, Angela started sending Mark to accompany us on outings. ABC has been there for us every step of the way. I would not think twice about calling them for help and I would recommend them in an instant.”

Her experience just facilitates any transaction because she has already thought of what is needed and its already taken care of before the situation arises. Just fabulous! Can't get Best Care Senior Services than what Angela offers!”
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 San Mateo Central Park 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 All Spice or visit San Mateo Japanese Garden, 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 San Mateo, 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 San Mateo, 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 San Mateo, CA 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

A "yes" vote supported this charter amendment to allow the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors to remove the elected sheriff from office for cause through a four-fifths (4 of 5) vote. The amendment would expire on December 31, 2028. |
A "no" vote opposed this charter amendment, meaning the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors would continue to lack the power to remove the elected sheriff from office for cause. |
A simple majority (50%+1) was required for the approval of the charter amendment.
The ballot measure allowed the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors to remove the sheriff from office for cause through a four-fifths (4 of 5) vote. To do so, the Board of Supervisors would be required to provide the sheriff with a written statement of alleged grounds for removal and give a "reasonable opportunity [for the sheriff] to be heard regarding any explanation or defense." The charter amendment was set to expire on December 31, 2028.[1]
The causes for which a sheriff could be removed are:[1]
The Board of Supervisors voted 4-0, with one member absent, to refer the charter amendment to the ballot. Supervisors, in an official statement, said the "ballot measure is the fastest way to give voters a voice" regarding Sheriff Christina Corpus. The board cited an investigative report from retired Judge LaDoris Cordell, which said, “Lies, secrecy, intimidation, retaliation, conflicts of interest, and abuses of authority are the hallmarks of the Corpus administration.”[2] The Board of Supervisors also voted to demand Sheriff Corpus to resign.[3]
Sheriff Corpus said the board pursued "amendments that erode democratic accountability."[4] She added, "Resigning from my position or relinquishing the independence of this Office is not the answer. Such actions would set a dangerous precedent, jeopardizing the progress we've made and the meaningful change our voters entrusted me to deliver."[5]
In California, the state constitution requires sheriffs to be elected, a requirement that was approved via ballot measure in 1978. In San Mateo County, voters elect the sheriff to a six-year term. The last election was on June 7, 2022, when Christina Corpus defeated incumbent Carlos Bolanos. Corpus received 56.9% of the vote.[6]
In 2005, the California Fourth District Court of Appeal held that charter amendments allowing a board of supervisors to remove an elected sheriff for cause are constitutional.[7] In 2022, voters in Los Angeles County approved a charter amendment, Measure A, allowing the board of supervisors to remove the elected sheriff from office for cause through a four-fifths vote.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Result | Votes | Percentage | ||
| Yes | 90,880 | 84.00% | ||
| No | 17,313 | 16.00% | ||
The official ballot title was as follows:[1]
| “ | Shall the measure amending the San Mateo County Charter to grant the Board of Supervisors authority until December 31, 2028 to remove an elected Sheriff from office for cause, including for violation of law related to a Sheriff’s duties, flagrant or repeated neglect of duties, misappropriation of public funds, willful falsification of documents, or obstructing an investigation, by a four-fifths vote of the Board of Supervisors, after written notice and an opportunity to be heard, be adopted?[8] | ” |
The ballot measure added Section 412.5 to Article IV of the San Mateo County Charter. The following underlined text was added:[1]
Note: Use your mouse to scroll over the text below to view the ballot language.
412.5. Removal of Elected Sheriff for Cause
a. The Board of Supervisors may remove a Sheriff from office for cause, by a four-fifths vote, after a Sheriff has been:
b. For the purposes of this Section 412.5, “cause” shall mean any of the following:
c. The Board of Supervisors may provide for procedures by which a removal proceeding pursuant to this Section 412.5 shall be conducted.
d. This Section 412.5 shall not be applied to interfere with the independent and constitutionally and statutorily designated investigative function of a Sheriff.
e. This Section 412.5 shall sunset and be of no further force and effect as of December 31, 2028 unless extended by voters of San Mateo County.[8]In 1978, voters approved California Proposition 6, which required that county sheriffs be elected offices in all counties, whether chartered or non-chartered. The vote was 60.8% 'Yes' to 39.2% 'No'. Before Proposition 6, state law required county sheriffs to be elected in non-chartered counties, but charter counties could decide whether to have a sheriff and whether the position was elected or appointed.
In 2022, voters in Los Angeles County, California, approved Measure A, which allowed the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to remove the elected sheriff from office for cause through a four-fifths (4 of 5) vote. The vote was 71.8% 'Yes' to 28.2% 'No'.
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0, with one member absent, on December 3, 2024, to place the charter amendment on the special election ballot for March 4, 2025. Supervisors Dave Pine, Noelia Corzo, Ray Mueller, and Warren Slocum voted for the amendment. Supervisor David Canepa was absent.[1]

SAN MATEO, CA — A San Mateo County measure giving the Board of Supervisors temporary authority to potentially remove the county sheriff appeared to be overwhelmingly approved by voters in an updated tally of semi-official results that showed most ballots had been counted as of Thursday afternoon.
With nearly 108,000 ballots counted, and just 640 left to process, 84% of voters who cast their ballots voted in favor of Measure A.
There were also 216 ballots that were challenged because of signature or other errors, which can be fixed, or "cured" until April 1.
The measure was spurred by an investigation into alleged misconduct of county Sheriff Christina Corpus, who has resisted calls to resign from supervisors, elected city officials in the county, and a retired judge who conducted a review of her alleged conduct last fall at the request of the Board of Supervisors.
The report from retired judge LaDoris Cordell alleged a pattern of lying, accused Corpus of creating a paid position for someone she allegedly had a personal relationship with, and ordering a subordinate who had criticized her to be arrested for allegations of improperly clocking in. No charges were brought by the district attorney against the deputy arrested.
Under the amendment to the county charter that would be established by Measure A, removal of an elected official would require a four-fifths majority vote by the Board of Supervisors. That official would have an opportunity to argue their case if selected for removal. The board's authority would expire at the end of 2028.
Out of about 445,000 registered voters in the county, about 108,000 ballots were cast, representing just under 25% of the total registered electorate.
For comparison, about 76% of registered voters voted in the November general election, with just over 443,000 voters registered at the time.
Corpus was elected in the 2022 primary election, which declares a winner without advancing to a general election if a candidate receives more than 50% of the vote. She received about 57% of the votes for sheriff in a contest that saw about 38% of registered voters cast a ballot. There were about 433,500 voters registered at the time.
She received 82,622 votes in her election. With a few hundred votes left to count, county voters had cast 90,466 votes in favor of Measure A.
Corpus did not respond to a request for comment on the results and whether they would influence her decision to reject calls to resign.
Thomas Mazzucco, a legal representative for Corpus in a lawsuit challenging the election, previously said that a legal challenge would likely resume if the Board of Supervisors actually acted to remove her.
In that case, San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Nicole Healy ruled that there was no basis to stop the actual election but declined to hear other legal challenges raised until action authorized by the measure potentially occurred.
Corpus has filed a separate $10 million lawsuit against the county alleging discrimination and harassment. Mazzucco is not representing her in that case.
The next vote tally update will come on Monday at 4:30 p.m. The results will be certified on April 3.

After six years of discussion, the owners of the Hillsdale Shopping Center have submitted plans to the city of San Mateo for the site’s redevelopment, which includes demolition of the indoor mall, while adding a mix of commercial buildings, retail and 1,392 new housing units.
According to the proposal, the businesses north of 31st Avenue — such as Apple and Cinépolis — would remain and that a new retail village will integrate into this current “North Block” area. A mix of office, retail and multiunit developments would replace what is now the main 1.5 million-square-foot shopping center with more than 2 million square feet of new retail, office and garages, and 1.9 million square feet of residences that will extend to the current retail area south of Hillsdale Boulevard as well.
According to a preapplication letter to the city, the new proposal “advances a new network of pedestrian-first streetscapes and open spaces, evolves the site’s retail to remain relevant and successful” and aligns with the city’s stated goals of increasing high-density development near public transit. The Hillsdale Train Station is across El Camino Real.
The decision to replace the mall was largely the result of a national trend in the decline of indoor shopping centers, said David Bohannon, president of Bohannon Properties, which owns the site.
“Malls have been disappearing, and many of them are gone already,” he said. “If you look at the Bay Area, all of the traditional, department store-anchored malls are in some form of redevelopment. There are a few, like Stanford and Valley Fair that continue on, but most of the others are either already gone or in some form of reconception.”
The plan proposes building eight- to 10-story commercial buildings along El Camino Real, with five- to eight-story multiunit residential buildings close by. Townhomes would be situated closer to the single-family residential neighborhood bordering the site. Despite a sluggish office market, which has stalled several developments in San Mateo due to tough lending conditions, Bohannon said the commercial plans are meant to provide long-term need in the community.
“Real estate is subject to cycles, so cycles come and go. There are times when interest rates and the economy are not supporting developments, so development slows down,” he said. “I don’t have that fear about Hillsdale. This is an extremely well-located project that will take multiple cycles to build out.”
The commercial developments will likely comprise traditional offices, as well as research and development space, with ground-floor retail included as well. Out of the 1,392 housing units, a little over 200 below-market-rate homes would be part of the development.
“We aren’t targeting any particular commercial office type … they could include biotech, tech or professional offices,” Bohannon said.
A formal application must be completed by August before it is reviewed by the City Council.
