Home Care In Oceanside, 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 Top Gun 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 Oceanside, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.
Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.
Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.
The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Oceanside, CA?
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:
Personal 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 Buccaneer Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
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 333 Pacific or visit Oceanside Sign, 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:
Age in Place
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.
Peace of Mind
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.
Socialization
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.
Personalized Care Plan
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.
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 Oceanside, 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.
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.
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 Oceanside, 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.
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
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:
Pacifica Senior Living Oceanside
Heritage Hills of Oceanside
Everest at Oceanside
Brookdale Oceanside
Aegis Living Shadowridge
Angel's Home Care
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. 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
01
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
02

The G League’s San Diego Clippers will play at Frontwave Arena starting in the 2024-25 season
San Diego County is getting a professional sports team to fill its new arena.
Only it’s not what you think.
The Los Angeles Clippers announced Monday they are relocating their minor-league affiliate to Oceanside. The G League’s San Diego Clippers will play staring next season at the new Frontwave Arena. The news comes amid speculation that the Stan Kroenke-backed Midway Rising project could eventually lure a major sports franchise to San Diego.
Oceanside’s Clippers — not to be confused with the NBA club — are relocating from Ontario, where they have played as the Ontario Clippers since 2017.
The relocated Clippers will have an old-school vibe. The team’s logo mirrors that worn by Bill Walton, World B. Free and Tom Chambers while in San Diego, with a wordmark that matches what the NBA club will wear starting next year. (Fans can purchase hats, hoodies and T-shirts at sdclippershq.com).
The Clippers are the first G League team in San Diego sports history, though the area has a rich — if mixed — history when it comes to pro basketball.
The old San Diego Clippers of the NBA played at the San Diego Sports Arena (now Pechanga Arena) from 1978-84 before moving north to Los Angeles. The arena was also home to the NBA’s Rockets (1967-71) and ABA’s Conquistadors (1972-75) and Sails (1975-76).
The Rockets relocated to Houston and the Conquistadors and Sails folded. So did the CBA’s Wildcards, in 1996 (and bonus points if you remember them).
The Ontario Clippers are coached by Paul Hewitt, formerly of Georgia Tech; this year’s club was 13-13 entering Monday, good for 11th place in the G League’s 15-team Western Conference. The G League regular season runs from late December until the end of March, with playoffs in April.
“We are proud to re-introduce the San Diego Clippers into this passionate sports market,” said Gillian Zucker, CEO of Halo Sports Entertainment, which consists of the Los Angeles Clippers, San Diego Clippers, Kia Forum and Intuit Dome. “Our G League team is a critical part of our business and basketball operation, and we are thrilled to be relocating to the new Frontwave Arena next season.”
The $85 million Frontwave Arena is expected to open this summer at Oceanside’s El Corazon Park. The 7,500-seat arena will also house the San Diego Sockers, who are moving north from Pechanga Arena following this season.
“I’m thrilled to welcome fans in San Diego and the Oceanside community to the G League, which has truly never been more impactful to NBA teams than it is today”, said NBA G League President Shareef Abdur-Rahim. “Bringing the Clippers G League team to Frontwave Arena through this unique partnership is exciting not only for the basketball diehards in the area, but for the players and coaches who will be able to develop their NBA-caliber skills each day.”

"We are proud to re-introduce the San Diego Clippers into this passionate sports market," said Halo Sports and Entertainment CEO Gillian Zucker. "Our G League team is a critical part of our business and basketball operation, and we are thrilled to be relocating to the new Frontwave Arena next season."
According to the organization, Halo Sports and Entertainment — the new umbrella brand encompassing the Clippers and their G League team, the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome — will partner with Frontwave Arena to run the business operations of the San Diego Clippers.
Clippers President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank will continue to oversee basketball operations for both teams.
"We are excited to show off our new home Frontwave Arena and welcome the San Diego Clippers next season," said cofounder and CEO of Frontwave Arena Josh Elias. "Working with a world class organization like the Clippers and people like Steve Ballmer and Gillian Zucker to create a new home to showcase their commitment both on and off the basketball court is a slam dunk."
Frontwave Arena is set to open this summer and will host concerts, comedy shows, community events and games for the San Diego Sockers professional indoor soccer team. The 7,500 capacity arena will also have an outdoor plaza.
The Clippers have their own history in San Diego County, moving from Buffalo, New York, in 1978 to play as the San Diego Clippers. Former owner Donald Sterling controversially moved the Clippers to Los Angeles in 1984 without NBA approval. As a result, the league sued to move the team back to San Diego but ultimately let Sterling off with a fine.
A total of 12 of the 18 players on the Clippers' current roster have spent time in the G League during their career.
"I'm thrilled to welcome fans in San Diego and the Oceanside community to the G League, which has truly never been more impactful to NBA teams than it is today," said NBA G League President Shareef Abdur-Rahim. "Bringing the Clippers G League team to Frontwave Arena through this unique partnership is exciting not only for the basketball diehards in the area, but for the players and coaches who will be able to develop their NBA-caliber skills each day."

1Oceanside’s crown jewel
The Plot has quickly become one of the most adored vegan restaurants in California. If you’re fixing for brunch, the Sausage & Biscuits is a delicious surprise with its huge slab of succulent breakfast sausage atop a cheesy country gravy-slathered biscuit—especially when paired with a chicken nugget-topped Bloody Mary.

2Elevated vegan Japanese
The vegan tasting menu at fine-dining Japanese restaurant Matsu is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. Esteemed Chef William Eick transforms seemingly simple vegetables into plant-based masterpieces in Matsu’s omakase (roughly translating to “I leave it up to you”) style of dining. The 10-course meal of chef-selected bites—which can range from tempura carrot with Dynamite sauce to the signature charred cabbage-skin dumpling filled with cabbage pulp in a cabbage dashi—is a commitment, but it’s worth every bite for those with an appreciation for the art of dining.
Eris Vegan Food Co.
3Good smoothies, good coffee, better bites
For a no-frills, casual vegan eatery with top-notch local kombucha on tap, pop into Eris Vegan Food Co. If you can’t choose between lighter fare or a more indulgent dish, try the Triple Taco Combo, featuring adobada seitan, sweet potato-pepper jack, and coconut fish tacos. After you nosh, take the short walk west to stroll along the oceanfront boardwalk. Or hit up the light and bright Communal Coffee for an iced blueberry-Earl Grey oat milk latte before you head to the beach.
The Privateer Coal Fire Pizza
4Not just vegan pizza
For a hyper-local and lively atmosphere, The Privateer Coal Fire Pizzashould top your dining list with its large menu chock-full of vegan options (the OKC Pie with green romesco sauce, cashew mozzarella, sunflower sausage, roasted shallot vinaigrette, and Brazil nut parmesan is a winner). If you happen to be in Oceanside on Tuesday, check out the free comedy night which has a rotating roster of comics doing short sets in the evening. Go early to get a seat, order a couple of vegan potato tacos and a drink, and prepare to be entertained.
Dija Mara
5A Balinese culinary experience
For Balinese-inspired fare, Dija Marawill spin your taste buds into a tizzy. Don’t let its laid-back vibe and industrial setting fool you—the numerous vegan options and drinks are first-rate and packed with flavor. The Charred Eggplant is easily veganized and accompanied by a smoked tomato sambal and fried shallots, while the tofu-and-tempeh rendang served with pickles, peanut sauce, and fragrant coconut rice perfectly balances savory, tangy, sweet, and salty flavors. And don’t forget to ask for the perfect pairing with a selection from the natural wine list.
Valle
6Michelin-starred Mexican

Next, head to your special vegan reservation at Michelin guide-honored, fine-dining hot spot Valle, which transforms its standard Baja California-inspired meals into a next-level plant-based night of eating that’s completely worth the splurge for a special occasion.

The fresh juices and smoothies are abundant (and varied, ranging from an ultra-green spinach-broccoli-ginger juice to a PB&J smoothie with raspberry-chia jam), but that’s only the beginning—all of the grab-and-go salads, artisanal toasts, and superfood banana bread muffins are delectable. Hunker down in the kid- and dog-friendly courtyard with a coconut bacon cobb salad to fuel an afternoon of boutique exploration in nearby Carlsbad Village.
Bliss Tea & Treats
9Fancy tea service goes vegan
Back in Oceanside, you may not expect to find a high-tea parlor in this laid-back beach town, but Bliss Tea & Treatsis a welcome surprise with its bright and joyful teatime experience. On the main downtown stretch of Mission Avenue, this Black-owned tea parlor has a vegan tasting that pairs tea with goodies like cream cheese-and-cucumber sandwiches on housemade focaccia, along with a seriously delightful apple and cookie butter finger sandwich.

City Council Unanimously Approves RE:BEACH Project
RE:BEACH is a Coastal Resilience Design Competition that brought together three design teams from around the world to develop innovative sand retention pilot projects for the City of Oceanside.Following the third and final Public Workshop for the RE:BEACH project, a Jury/Advisory Panel comprised of a diverse group of coastal scientists, community leaders and regional representatives recently met to evaluate proposals from the three international Design Team finalists: Deltares/MVRDV, Scape/ESA/Dredge Research Collaborative, and Intern...
RE:BEACH is a Coastal Resilience Design Competition that brought together three design teams from around the world to develop innovative sand retention pilot projects for the City of Oceanside.
Following the third and final Public Workshop for the RE:BEACH project, a Jury/Advisory Panel comprised of a diverse group of coastal scientists, community leaders and regional representatives recently met to evaluate proposals from the three international Design Team finalists: Deltares/MVRDV, Scape/ESA/Dredge Research Collaborative, and International Coastal Management (ICM).
Recommended Project
The Jury/Advisory Panel had an opportunity to meet one-on-one with each Design Team to further discuss the technical, societal, environmental, and financial components of each proposal. Following these discussions, the RE:BEACH Jury expressed their unanimous support of a preferred alternative, International Coastal Management’s “Living Speed Bumps” concept. The “Living Speed Bumps” concept includes the construction of two small headlands that will aim to stabilize sand on the back beach, with an offshore artificial reef aimed at slowing down nearshore erosive forces. ICM, based in Australia’s Gold Coast, has decades of experience implementing “speed bumps” on their own coastline, bringing forward a new concept for Oceanside’s coast, but with a proven track record of success on the East Coast of Australia.
The Jury’s selection of this option was based on the proposal’s ability to meet the RE:BEACH project goals and design criteria. According to the Jury, ICM’s concept clearly demonstrates potential positive impact in retaining sand, while leveraging existing infrastructure to further extend the effectiveness of sand placement.
Based on the Jury/Advisory Panel deliberations and public feedback, two key modifications to the design will be promoted: (1) refinement of the top of the headland space to use more environmentally or aesthetically pleasing elements that blend with Oceanside’s character, and (2) utilization of rock instead of geotextile bags for construction of the artificial nearshore reef.
Through the RE:BEACH process, teams collected hundreds of comments, in person and online, from the numerous residents and community groups who showed up by the hundreds to the Public Workshop series. Working with local community organizations like Save Oceanside Sand, Surfrider Foundation, the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce, and others, the Design Teams each engaged in robust community conversations on the long-standing issue of beach erosion in Oceanside.
The City Council met at a Workshop on January 31, 2024, to discuss the project, and unanimously approved moving forward.
Next Steps
The Project Team will develop final engineering plans and pursue environmental compliance for project. The planning and environmental review process is anticipated to take 1-2 years, and construction could begin as early as 2026.
Follow along via the RE:BEACH website at rebeach.org to stay up-to-date with the decision process.
