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 Old Sacramento Waterfront in Sacramento, 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 Sacramento, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

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 Belle Cooledge Park in Sacramento, 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 The Firehouse Restaurant or visit Sutter's Fort 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.
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 Sacramento, 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 Sacramento, 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 Sacramento, 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.

Looking for a thrilling, mind-bending and puzzling journey?
Sacramento-area residents don’t have to travel far to experience the nation’s best escape room, according to USA Today readers.
The publication recently ranked the top 10 escape rooms in the United States in 2025, searching for attractions where you can “unleash your inner detective.”
“There are thousands of escape rooms across the United States, immersing players in adventures that range from escaping laboratories to pulling off the ultimate heist,” USA Today said in an Oct. 1 news release. “Whether you’re looking for a fun outing with friends or doing some team building, escape rooms are a great way to test your skills and have a blast at the same time.”
Here’s which local escape room topped the national list:
Enchambered, 2230 Arden Way, Suite C, in Arden Arcade, was the No. 1 escape room in the nation in 2025, according to USA Today.
Teams of three to 12 people are locked into a “custom-built, challenging and entertaining environment,” Enchambered said on its website.
Patrons can choose from a total of five rooms with their own themes, stories and challenges.
For instance, you can try to solve the mystery of the missing scientist, escape the terrifying Skull Witch or help Patches the bear build a toy in a more child-friendly adventure, according to the Enchambered website.
“We always believe that to truly enjoy a themed experience is to have it driven by a story,” company representatives said on the Enchambered website. “We work tirelessly to add a narrative to each of our game spaces.”
Enchambered is open daily from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.
You can book an experience at the Sacramento-area escape room for $35 to $40 per person.
The minimum number of players required depends on which adventure you choose.
According to USA Today, these were the top 10 escape rooms in the United States in 2025:
To narrow down the top escape rooms in the nation, USA Today asked a panel of experts to nominate their favorites.
The publication then asked readers to vote for their top picks.
The escape rooms with the most reader votes landed on the top 10 list, USA Today said.

A car collision with injuries reported at US-50 and CA-99 caused significant disruption to Monday afternoon’s commute, October 27, 2025, at the busy US-50 West and CA-99 South interchange in Sacramento. The 4:00 p.m. collision resulted in injuries, prompting a multi-agency emergency response and major traffic slowdowns. Paramedics treated several people at the scene, and at least one person was taken to a local hospital for further care.
The collision caused significant congestion as multiple lanes were blocked. California Highway Patrol officers managed traffic control and assisted with scene cleanup while tow crews worked to clear the roadway.
An investigation into the cause of the crash remains underway. Authorities are looking into whether merging conflicts, sudden lane changes, or distracted driving may have contributed to the incident, a common risk in high-speed interchange areas like this one.
Busy freeway interchanges, such as the US-50 and CA-99 connection, are among the most dangerous areas for collisions. Drivers should reduce speed when merging, check blind spots carefully, and avoid abrupt lane changes. Maintaining a safe following distance and anticipating other drivers’ movements can significantly reduce the likelihood of multi-vehicle accidents. When possible, plan your route in advance to minimize sudden decisions that could lead to a crash.

After being injured in a collision, dealing with insurance companies can be frustrating and confusing. Insurers often prioritize minimizing payouts, even when victims are clearly hurt. Hiring a personal injury attorney who specializes in auto accidents ensures that your case is handled by someone who knows how to negotiate fair settlements, gather key evidence, and protect your rights from the start. An attorney’s experience can make the difference between a quick lowball offer and full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
A program available at farmers markets across California is helping people who receive food assistance stretch their budget for fresh fruits and vegetables.
Food assistance through the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), known as CalFresh in California, was suddenly cut off over the weekend amid the ongoing government shutdown. That's impacted more than 5.5 million people in California, including 270,000 people in the Sacramento region.
On Monday, President Donald's Trump's administration said it would partially fund SNAP after two federal judges ordered the government not to cut off assistance.
Benjamin Brumer, who works with Market Match — a nonprofit that helps CalFresh recipients stretch their food dollars — said on Saturday that the impact of the cuts had been immediate.
“People’s benefits have gone down. They’ve reached near zero now. And this is a lifeline,” Brumer said. “Without SNAP, without CalFresh, and without our booth — it hurts. It hurts the customers who rely on it, and it hurts the farmers who sell their produce here.”
Market Match provides vouchers for fresh fruits and vegetables, offering up to $15 in matching funds. Customers can withdraw money from their EBT cards and receive an additional $15 to spend on produce. Recipients can visit market information booths for tokens or paper vouchers redeemable for CalFresh-eligible food items.
“At some of our busiest markets, it could even reach 600 people,” Brumer added.
One CalFresh recipient at the Midtown Farmers Market over the weekend said the extra support made a real difference.
“Always good to have some extra when you don’t have anything,” they said, adding that the holidays will be especially tough. “It’s going to be a hard time for the holidays. A lot of families and kids will be out of school.”
Market Match has an interactive map where individuals can find a nearest booth near them to use for EBT purchases.

SACRAMENTO – The Central Valley wakes under a calm, golden dawn this Halloween morning. A faint layer of mist hovers over the fields west of I-5, glowing in the rising sun. The air feels mild — almost springlike — but this is California’s version of fall: a final run of warmth before November’s first brush with rain.
The National Weather Service in Sacramento calls for a string of bright, dry days through the weekend. Highs will reach the upper 70s, with calm winds and clear skies from Friday through Sunday. Those planning Halloween festivities or early outdoor decorating will have ideal conditions — dry sidewalks, crisp twilight, and just a touch of cool air after sunset.
By early next week, however, the pattern begins to shift. Clouds will increase Monday night, with the first rain chances appearing Tuesday into Wednesday. A broad Pacific system will push inland, bringing scattered showers across the Sacramento metro and along Interstate 80 toward Auburn and Truckee. While accumulations should remain light, the change signals California’s gradual transition toward wetter, more unsettled weather.
Residents should enjoy this final stretch of sun for outdoor projects, leaf cleanup, and early holiday prep. Temperatures will ease into the upper 60s by midweek — a gentle reminder that the long, dry season is nearly over.
After all, November marks the return of California’s true weather rhythm: brief warmth, cool nights, and the steady drip of long-awaited rain.
Five-Day Outlook for Sacramento, CA:Sat: 78/53 – Sunny and calm.Sun: 78/55 – Bright and mild.Mon: 75/55 – Mostly sunny; clouds late.Tue: 72/56 – Increasing clouds; light showers possible.Wed: 68/55 – Rain likely; cooler breeze.
