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 California Historical Landmark 698 Fifteen Mile House 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 Rancho Cordova, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

Always Best responded to our request with this caretaker after a bad experience with another agency's caretaker who was content to play with his phone whenever he could and only doing tasks when asked/directed to do so - and then sullenly.

“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.”
“Tori Burke has been great. She's doing a awesome job helping my mother with all her needs. Tori has a very special personality that makes my mom feel very comfortable. Tori has made this past year so much easier. Thank you for sending Tori to us. Tori is a definite 5 star. Secret word OCEAN”
“Grateful for my health aide Shannon. She’s a great listener, always ready to hear my stories, wants and needs. Thanks for sending me off to dialysis with a smile and waiting for transport to arrive.”
“My husband has been with Always Best Care since the end of last year recommended by the VA. The office staff is friendly, they answer phone messages quickly and work with our schedule to assign a health aide. We love our current health aide Shannon Rauson, as does our dog Luna. She preps meals, does light housecleaning around my husbands hospital bed, and washes my husband to get him ready for his dialysis day. Thank you Always Best Care.”
“I recently used Always Best Care to help me find a place for elderly mother. I worked with Kathee and she set up appointments for me to visit and find a place for my mother. Kathee was knowledgeable and Professional. Every home I visited was vetted in a nice neighborhood and home with the proper staff at had. She was great to work with and I definitely would recommend Always Best Care to anyone that is in needs of their service.”
“A big shoutout for Destiny with ABC who helps Larry navigate through his day, helping him with his walk,fixing lunch, as well as other varied and sundry things. A great personality and willing to adjust to our schedule.”

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 Hagan Community 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 Il Forno Classico or visit Kavala Ranch 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.
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 Rancho Cordova, 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 Rancho Cordova, 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 Rancho Cordova, 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.
One veteran said hearing planes and seeing different military personnel associated with the nearby base evokes a sense of nostalgia from her time in the service.RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. — Rancho Cordova is home to the highest percentage of women veterans relative to its population size out of all seven Sacramento County cities.Nearly one-third — or 1,060 out of 3,6...
One veteran said hearing planes and seeing different military personnel associated with the nearby base evokes a sense of nostalgia from her time in the service.
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. — Rancho Cordova is home to the highest percentage of women veterans relative to its population size out of all seven Sacramento County cities.
Nearly one-third — or 1,060 out of 3,635 — of Rancho Cordova veterans are women, according to 2023 U.S. Census Bureau population estimates. Among them, over half are within the 18-54 age group.
Suzy Choi, 47, said she chose to reside in the city later in life. She joined the U.S. Air Force in 2001, deployed to Iraq in 2006, then enrolled in the University of California, Davis, physician assistant program in 2009. Originally from Orange County, she needed a place to live.
“When the realtors asked me what I desire, (it) was just anywhere that's close to the river within my budget,” Choi said. “A lot of people don't know about Rancho, but…I just love it. I can walk to the river.”
Choi now works as a PA in the Mather Air Force Base emergency room.
Stacey Welch, 40, served six years on active duty for the U.S. Army in the early 2000s before moving to Rancho Cordova in 2010 because her husband lived there.
“We've stayed for two reasons. One, we have bought our home, and that's been a good experience, but also the (Mather) VA is really handy,” Welch said.
Maria Chacon Kniestedt, a Rancho Cordova spokeswoman, said the city boasts significant ties to the armed forces.
“The city of Rancho Cordova has a rich military history with the former Mather Air Force Base,” she said. “Today, the city is home to the California Military Department Headquarters, and it is also adjacent to Mather Field, where the Sacramento VA Medical Center is located, as well as the California National Guard.”
Rancho Cordova’s proximity to military landmarks provides some sentimentality, according to Shatayia Baker, 48, who served almost four years in the U.S. Air Force before being medically discharged in 1999.
“I absolutely love it,” Baker said. “I almost feel like it's the nostalgia of being near what used to be a base, hearing the planes, seeing different…military personnel that are around. It's this nostalgia of driving along the flight line.”
Sacramento houses the most women veterans in the county largely due to the city’s population size, but about 15% of Sacramento veterans are women compared to Rancho Cordova’s 29%.
According to 2023 population estimates (unless otherwise noted), here’s how the rest of the Sacramento region stacks up:
According to 2022 census estimates, no women veterans call Isleton home.
The percentage of women in the military has increased in recent years, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.
In 2023, roughly 17.6% (230,000 out of 1.3 million) of active duty military personnel were women, according to the Military Health System. In 2022, 17.5% of active duty military and 21.6% of the selected reserve were women, according to DOD demographics.
From 2005 to 2022, the percentage of active duty military women rose by 2.9% while the percentage of women in the selected reserve rose by 4.4%, the Pentagon said last year.
Choi said it’s hard to be a woman in the military.
“We don’t even acknowledge that we are here,” she said. “I’m a woman veteran, but when I go out, for instance, I’m with somebody else. They think I am the dependent.”
Welch said during her time with the U.S. Army, she deployed on a 15-month tour to Iraq and would go on to earn the rank of sergeant.
“I've had people look at me and say, ‘Oh, you're a veteran? Did you serve in the Air Force?’ No, I was in the Army. ‘Oh, so you were in the reserves?’ No, I was on active duty,” Welch said. “We get a very different response than men do…I actually had somebody say to me, ‘You’re in the army? But, you’re pretty.’”
She said it’s much more socially acceptable for a man to tell stories of their military service and be seen as rough and tough.
“If you just say the word ‘veteran’ in society, people think of a guy,” she said. “They don't think of a woman, and that's just what it is. We already as females are not in the public conscience as what constitutes a veteran.”
Local companies and government agencies offer women veteran-specific services.
One example of a women veteran-specific resource deals with the data point that about one in three women compared to one in 50 men respond "yes," that they experienced military sexual trauma (MST), when screened by their veterans services provider, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Sacramento County Veterans Services employs five veteran claims representatives, three of whom are women, according to department spokeswoman Allison Harris.
“The Veteran Services Officer is a retired female Air Force veteran and understands the unique challenges and needs of women veterans,” Harris said. “The Sacramento VSO staff are highly trained and sensitive to the needs of these veterans during the claims process and treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve.”
Melissa Washington, founder and CEO of the Placer County-based Women Veterans Alliance, said her organization aims to uplift women veterans by assisting in reintegration to civilian life, helping them find jobs, empowering small business owners and building a supportive, educated community.
“(It’s) providing women a safe space to be seen, heard and connect with other women who have served,” Washington said. “Women are more likely to open up to other women veterans than male counterparts.”
The state of California also offers its own women veterans resources.
To celebrate Veterans Day in the Rancho Cordova community, the city said the Cordova High School football team placed 500 flags along a three-mile stretch of Folsom Boulevard from Rod Beaudry Drive to Kilgore Road. The flags were placed Saturday and will stand until Tuesday.
A blood drive is also being hosted 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday at Rancho Cordova City Hall. Participation is by appointment only, and those interested can book a time slot HERE.

Rancho Cordova, CA (November 10, 2024) On Friday, police arrested 33-year-old Owen Cruz after a fatal crash on Douglas Road that claimed the life of a person.
According to Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District, the deadly crash happened around 9:15 p.m. near the intersection of Borderlands Drive and Douglas Road.
Reports say that the hit-and-run collision in Rancho Cordova left one person dead and injured three others, including two children.
Sac Metro Fire reported that the crash involved two vehicles and a total of four people, all of whom were in the same car. One person, who had to be extricated, succumbed to their injuries. The other three, including two juveniles, were transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Authorities have arrested Cruz, also known as Ogan Gencer, in connection with the incident early Saturday morning. Westbound Douglas Boulevard remains closed near Security Park Drive as investigators continue their work.

With the right legal support, your family can focus on grieving and healing, knowing that your rights are being protected.
It’s also important to understand that there are time limits for legal action in a wrongful death case, known as the statute of limitations. If this deadline passes, the family may lose the opportunity to file a lawsuit, which could prevent them from holding the responsible party accountable and receiving the compensation they deserve for their loss.
Missing the statute of limitations could leave you without the financial support you need and deny you the chance to seek justice for your loved one.

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. — Cordova High School’s drama department can solemnly swear that it is up to no good.
Last month, they reportedly became the first in California to perform the high school version of the “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” play, according to a news release from the Folsom Cordova Unified School District.
Drama teacher Amanda Boyce directed the play and led the project alongside Matthew Compton, a theater production specialist, the district said. Students transformed the Cordova High School Performing Arts Center into a large magic-like experience during the play’s run.
“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” documents the titular character’s life after the events of the original seven books but focuses most on his headstrong son, Albus, who befriends the son of his father’s fiercest rival, Draco Malfoy.
The script book was first published July 31, 2016, and was widely available in bookstores. Simultaneously, it premiered as a two-part play in London’s West End.
Parts one and two together ran roughly five hours and 20 minutes not including intermissions. Both parts were either performed on the same day across two shows, or across two days — one show on each.
American performances began March 16, 2018, on Broadway in New York. It won a Tony Award for Best Play later that year.
In 2021, the play was condensed and restaged. It’s now roughly three and half hours and currently on tour in Chicago before it heads to Los Angeles then Washington D.C. in 2025.
The high school edition is anywhere from two to two and a half hours, according to Broadway Licensing Global. Cordova High School held its final performance Saturday, Oct. 26.
“Congratulations to the entire Cordova High Drama Department for achieving this exciting first and for the dedication they bring to arts in our community,” the district said.

Since 2017, we've been following an Asian supermarket chain's plans to open a location in Rancho Cordova.
Shun Fat Supermarket, also known as SF Supermarket, is filling part of a former Sam's Club site at 2738 Sunrise Blvd. The project has experienced delays with material and labor shortages as well as with the permitting process, the Business Journal previously reported.
But now, an opening is within reach. SF Supermarket will hold a Nov. 15 grand opening in Rancho Cordova, according to a sign posted at the business.
The former warehouse retail building is being redeveloped to include SF Supermarket as well as an indoor shopping center called Cali Saigon Mall.
Signs posted at the site indicate the mall will include Qing Shu Spicy Hot Pot, Pho Tasty Vietnamese Restaurant, Bober Tea, The Boiling Crab, a salon and a pharmacy and medical office. It's unclear when those businesses will open. It appears additional spots are still available for lease in the mall.
A boba tea and ramen shop in Folsom's Broadstone Marketplace has closed less than a year after opening.
Boomba Tea opened at 2784 East Bidwell St., Suite 300, in April, offering a menu with a variety of boba teas, smoothie teas and food items like ramen, spam musubi and popcorn chicken. A notice has been posted at the business stating Boomba Tea in Folsom has "closed indefinitely."
Boomba Tea's replacement appears to already be in the works. A fictitious business name statement indicates a new eatery called Chennai Bamboo Garden is filling the space.
Reporter Jake Abbott has the latest on the former Boomba Tea space in Folsom.
West Sacramento's Engstrom Properties Inc. has extended its reach a bit outside the Sacramento region to buy land for a property with a mix of uses in Marysville.
The retail development company bought 5.1 acres at 1317 B St. in Marysville for a project planned to have a four-story hotel, Grocery Outlet and Starbucks with a drive-thru, according to Marcus & Millichap.
Senior Reporter Ben van der Meer has details about Engstrom Properties' Marysville land purchase.
I'm currently reciting the lyrics to "Pink Pony Club" — for a good reason.
We celebrated our 40 Under 40 honorees with a big party Thursday night at The Pavilion at Haggin Oaks.
Both the event and our 40 Under 40 publication included a theme of music. Honorees were asked to select theme songs for their careers.
Yes, someone chose "Pink Pony Club."
Here's your guide to all this year's 40 Under 40 honorees — and their soundtracks.
Nashville-style hot chicken restaurant Angry Chickz has been added to leasing materials for a prominent Elk Grove center, which would be the Southern California-based chain's third area site.
Angry Chickz features a menu of hot chicken sliders and tenders, loaded bowls and side dishes such as macaroni and cheese.
Earlier this month, the chain announced on Instagram that it was planning to open an Elk Grove location. Details about a potential location and opening date were not included, only that it would be "coming soon."
Leasing materials for the Elk Grove Commons shopping center have since been updated to include Angry Chickz.
Reporter Jake Abbott explains what Angry Chickz is planning in Elk Grove.
Have a great day, folks. Thanks for reading.
