Home Care Folsom, 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 Folsom Historic District 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 Folsom, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

TESTIMONIALS

“Your caregivers were superb. It’s not easy to support those at end of life and the caregivers we had met us exactly where we were every day, blended in with our family, found ways to help us by identifying exactly what we needed and just taking care of it as opposed to waiting for us to delegate tasks. This was a huge blessing to us in our grief during a time of great difficulty. My dad had terminal agitation which took time to titrate medications to get comfortable. The caregivers moved with dad with grace and expertise to help him and us until we were able to get him settled and comfortable. This takes skill….and it showed in every way. From their soft tone of voice, redirection and agreeable attitude, flowing with his confusion and helping him feel safe until he settled. Not to mention a warm hand on our shoulder when we needed it, a snack or a drink when they recognized that we may have forgotten to take of ourselves. Zac, Tristin, Britni and Gabby were all a gift to our family as well as the organization they work for. Often times, caregivers are the lowest paid employees in their organizations. Please know, these outstanding individuals at the bedside supporting families are the face and heart of the work you do. Take good care of these amazing humans. Much love to ALL you for what you do in your community and keep up the good work! ❤️”

“I was frantic and knew very little about how to care for my father at his home. Fortunately, I found Always Best Care in Rocklin, CA. Carrie spoke to me about their services on the phone and I started crying. For the first time, I felt there was a path to follow to provide the best care for my dad. Then, I was apprehensive about bringing strangers into my dad's house. Well, Shonda came for the weekend shift and I knew instantly she was a great fit. She was kind and gentle with Dad, but firm when needed. She took care of his feeding and medication needs. I loved her. Then along came Gabrielle, Gabby for short. She was on the Monday-Friday shift. At first I thought she was too young for this responsibility. But, wow, she was awesome. She took care of Dad and his feeding, medicine, movement needs. And, without me having to direct her, she cleaned dishes, took out the garbage, vacuumed, while he was sleeping. They were better care givers than I could be. What a blessing these ladies were at a time when my father and I were the most vulnerable. Thank you Always Best Care for being there.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Folsom, 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 Folsom, 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 Sutter Street Steakhouse or visit Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park, 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.

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 Folsom, 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 Folsom, 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 Folsom, 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 Folsom, 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 Folsom, 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 Folsom, 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:

  • Oakmont of Folsom
  • Brookdale Folsom
  • Prairie City Landing, a Tenfold Senior Living Community
  • CountryHouse Residence
  • Folsom Care Center
  • Happy Memories Senior Care
Home Care Folsom, 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.

A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way

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.

At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Folsom, CA 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.

Intel plans sale and leaseback of its 150-acre Folsom, California campus — releasing capital but maintaining operations and staff

When companies experience financial difficulties, they might often sell off property to make some cash. In many cases, the companies lease the property back so as not to move their facilities, so not many things change. This is apparently what is going to happen to Intel's campus in Folson, California, reports ...

When companies experience financial difficulties, they might often sell off property to make some cash. In many cases, the companies lease the property back so as not to move their facilities, so not many things change. This is apparently what is going to happen to Intel's campus in Folson, California, reports OregonLive.

The company is set to sell its 150-acre Folsom, California campus, but keep the site operational. Intel plans to keep its Folsom site near Sacramento operational as the facility currently houses some 5,000 employees who mostly work on software, including GPU drivers, cloud software, and system software. The company aims to optimize the use of the property, which includes seven buildings with 1.6 million square feet of office and lab space. In particular, Intel plans to ink partial leaseback agreements.

The company is also reviewing its 50-acre Hawthorn Farm property in Oregon and consolidating activities at its Santa Clara headquarters. In Oregon, Intel is assessing its smallest site, Hawthorn Farm, which houses offices and labs used for motherboard technology research. The property, operational since the late 1970s, saw 124 job cuts recently but has no immediate plans for sale. Intel is encouraging employees to move to more densely occupied sites in the state. These measures target eliminating underused spaces and fostering in-person collaboration at major hubs.

"We are shifting our global real estate strategy to focus on fewer, more populated locations and eliminate underutilized space," a statement by Intel published by OregonLive reads. "This approach will foster greater in-person collaboration at our largest sites while also delivering cost savings for the company."

Sales and leasebacks have become a strategic tool for Intel to generate cash from its real estate portfolio. While the company is downsizing and consolidating operations, it continues to refine its long-term strategy to balance cost savings while maintaining operational capabilities. This strategy aims to strengthen collaboration, reduce waste, and position the company to recover from its current financial and competitive challenges.

The decision to adjust real estate holdings aligns with Intel's aim to reduce costs by $10 billion. This has already resulted in 15,000 job cuts globally, including 272 in Folsom and 1,300 in Oregon.

Folsom (CA) Tight End Nela Tupou Commits to USC

Three-star Folsom (CA) tight end Nela Tupou has flipped his commitment from Utah to the USC Trojans. He’d been committed to the Utes since Feb. 20.

Tupou, who catches passes at Folsom from five-star USC QB target Ryder Lyons, was offered by USC on Oct. 30 and took an official visit to Los Angeles over the Nov. 16 weekend.

Although On3 lists him as a Edge, he’ll be an addition to Zach Hanson’s USC tight ends room next year.

The December signing period is less than two weeks away and USC is fighting hard to close out this recruiting class strong. It’s gonna cost a lot of money to do it, so if the Trojans do pull it off, that’s a great sign House of Victory is rockin n rollin.

If the commitment comes from the class of 2026, we’re leaning heavily toward that pledge coming from five-star Folsom (CA) quarterback Ryder Lyons. Other strong contenders are four-star Orange Lutheran OL Samuelu Utu or four-star Rancho Cucamonga (CA) cornerback RJ Sermons. All three have been regular visitors during the season.

Either way, USC playing good looking football at home this season has left the Trojans in a strong spot from a recruiting perspective. That and a much stronger NIL situation than in 2022 and 2023.

2025 USC commits (23) after Nela Tupou

The Trojans currently have 21 verbal commits from the class of 2025, THE LATEST seven coming from Nela Tupou, Cash Jacobsen, Aaron Dunn, Stephen Miller, Floyd Boucard, Jerome Myles, Ty Jackson, James Johnson and Dee Reddick…who flipped from UCF.

A popular New York-based burger chain is opening a third location in the Sacramento area this month.

Shake Shack is expected to open at 210 Palladio Parkway, Suite 2106, in Folsom on Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Here’s all you need to know:

Shake Shack started out as a hot dog stand in New York City in 2001.

According to a fiscal year report released in February, the fast food chain has expanded to more than 510 locations since 2004.

There are more than 330 U.S. locations in 33 states and the District of Columbia, and as well as 180-plus international locations including spots in London, Shanghai and Mexico City.

The Sacramento area’s newest Shake Shack location occupies 3,699 square feet of space at the Palladio shopping center in Folsom, next to Noah’s Bagels. It’s near the plaza’s parking structure.

The north Sacramento County location is Shake Shack’s third restaurant in the capital region.

According to a Palladio news release, Shake Shack will employ 50 people.

“We are very excited for Shake Shack opening (its) location here in Folsom,” Palladio general manager Gloria Wright said. “The region has been asking for a Shake Shack for a long time. So not only will the locals be happy, but certainly the tourism up and down Highway 50, because they use this stop going up to Apple Hill or up to Tahoe.”

Wright added that the new location gives travelers “just one more reason to exit the freeway and come shop at Palladio and have a great meal at Shake Shack.”

The first Shake Shack in Sacramento opened in 2019 at the Ice Blocks shopping center in midtown Sacramento.

Another location opened inside of the Westfield Galleria mall in Roseville in 2020.

Shake Shack is known of its hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries and milkshakes.

The fast food chain serves up burgers made with 100% Angus beef from cows humanely raised and grazed in the United States, the company’s website said. Patties are never frozen and contain no hormones or antibiotics.

A single Shackburger starts at $7.99. The price can increase based on signature meals and add-ons.

Want some fries on the side? Regular crinkle-cut fries are $4.49, while cheese and black Parmesan truffle fries are $5.99 and bacon cheese fries are $6.99.

Soft beverages start at $3.99, with lemonades ranging in price from $4.49 to $4.99.

Signature shakes cost $6.49 to $6.99. You can add whipped cream or make it a malt for 49 cents.

Shake Shack in Folsom will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

According to Wright, Palladio is adding a total of three businesses this fall, filling nearly 9,000 square feet of space in total and creating 68 jobs.

Tru Bowl Superfood Bar, an acai bowl restaurant chain that started in southern California, celebrated its grand opening at the Folsom shopping center on Monday, Nov. 11.

Wright said Tru Bowl has a total of nine employees.

Another new store opening at Palladio is Carter’s, a retail chain specializing in baby clothing, accessories and essentials.

Carter’s will open its 3,603-square-foot store on Thursday, Nov., 14, employing nine people in total.

Wright said Carter’s is the second children’s store to ever open in Folsom.

“(Cater’s) has such a great reputation that we’re pleased to bring this needed concept to the community as well,” Wright said.

“Folsom is very family orientated, and it’s growing like crazy,” Wright said. “South of (Highway) 50 is adding 13,000 new homes, and to be able to provide healthy options like Tru Bowl (or) family-oriented concepts (suchas) the new Carter’s ... really rounds out the regional draw for the local community. It’s really great for us.”

The city of Folsom released a Central Business District Master Plan last month to "densify" the commercial corridor on East Bidwell and Riley streets.

Released for public review Sept. 30, the master plan area spans 220 or so acres from Sutter Middle School at the edge of the Historic District to Blue Ravine Road.

The original 20th Century Folsom core business area now includes key city attractions such as the Steve Miklos Aquatic Center and Lembi Park. The district features several standard shopping centers, including Walmart, Raley’s, Target, Trader Joe’s and Lowes.

Revitalization of the neighborhood has been a city priority for years, addressed in the 2018 Folsom general plan. The district continues to provide vital services, but is “an underutilized development area,” staff said in the report.

“The study area is intended to be densified by promoting mixed-use development and creating a walkable, bikeable and resilient community, using the concept of the '15-minute city,' " staff said.

The 15-minute city is an urban plan where daily tasks like work, shopping, education, healthcare and leisure can be easily reached by a 15-minute walk, bike ride or public transit ride from any point in the city.

The plan is the result of a year-long effort by a citizens advisory committee, offering a long-term vision to guide future development by aligning land use, infrastructure and branding.

"The plan does not propose any land use changes or specific development projects. Instead, it outlines potential public and private improvements to revitalize the district as funding becomes available," staff said in the report.

Constraints in the neighborhood include poor traffic circulation, safety issues, inconsistent lighting and landscaping and limitations with water and sewer services.

"The area provides vital commercial services, but walkability is hampered by narrow or missing sidewalks, lack of shade in some areas, and absence of multi-modal connectivity systems," staff said.

Waiting times are lengthy at bus stops in the neighborhood, and fail to encourage ridership in wet weather or heat waves.

Locals can view the draft plan and learn more about the project at folsom.ca.us/Central Business District.

For more information, contact Kathy Pease, City of Folsom planning consultant, at 916-812-0749, or email [email protected].

The community advisory committee includes Edward Igoe, Tom Econome, Gary Eckhardt, Dan Deher, Jeremy Deher, Julie Lofgren, Jen Lee, Mark Johnson, Anthony Powers, Margie Donavan, Tim Kuntz, Dean Williams, Brian Wallace, Joe Gagliardi, Shannon Rob, Ardie Zahendani, Kris Steward, Monica Flores Pactol, Elija Tiglao, Anuva Shekar and Liz Ekenstedt.

The committee held a final meeting Monday, Oct. 21, and was expected to recommend approval of the plan by the Planning Commission and City Council.

Upcoming meetings: Oct. 30, Planning Commission hearing, 6:30 p.m., City Hall Council Chambers, 50 Natoma Street; Nov. 12, City Council hearing, 6:30 p.m., City Hall Council Chambers, 50 Natoma. St.
