Home Care In Federal Way, WA
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 Dash Point State Park in Federal Way, WA 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 Federal Way, WA 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

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Federal Way, WA?
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 Celebration Park in Federal Way, WA 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 Pimienta or visit Historical Society of Federal Way, 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 Federal Way, WA, 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
WA'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 Federal Way, WA 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:
Brookdale Federal Way
GenCare Lifestyle Federal Way
Brookdale Foundation House
Luxury Living AFH
Garden Terrace Healthcare Center of Federal Way
Avalon Federal Way Care Center
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
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
03
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 Federal Way, WA 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.

Tacoma – Three residents of the South Sound region have now been sentenced to federal prison for their post office burglary scheme, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Charles Neil Floyd. Paula Jean Gamboa, 38 of Federal Way, Washington, was the last of three defendants sentenced today to 18 months in prison. Burglary ringleader Justin Tate, 37, of Tacoma, was sentenced in April 2026 to 50 months in prison and Gregory Foster, 60, of Port Orchard, Washington, was sentenced in May 2026 to two years in prison. The three were indicted by a federal grand jury in May 2025.
U.S. District Judge Benjamin H. Settle noted that crimes related to identity and mail theft are “tremendously disruptive to people’s lives,”
while also reflecting on the emotional harm suffered by victims. He ordered each of the defendants be on supervised release for three years following prison. Tate was ordered to pay $10,785 in restitution.
According to records in the case, Tate led the burglary crew that targeted post offices in the Puget Sound region. The break-ins spanned Kitsap, Thurston, Pierce, King, and Island Counties. The thieves kept cash and other valuables from the stolen mail. Tate went on to use identity and financial documents obtained from victims’ mail to commit bank fraud. The specific burglaries are these:
Ringleader Justin Tate pleaded guilty to conspiracy and two counts of bank fraud. Tate opened a bank account in the name of one of the victims and then transferred or attempted to transfer more than $3,500 for his own use. He attempted to deposit more than $13,000 in fraudulent checks. Tate also ran up $7,200 in point-of-sale charges with a stolen debit card. Tate and Gamboa would go to area casinos after the burglaries to launder the stolen funds.
Gamboa was the last to be sentenced because she repeatedly fled pretrial supervision and custody. In asking for a 21-month sentence, prosecutors wrote to the court, “Gamboa’s crimes were carried out with little regard not only for the United States property they destroyed, but for the victims whose privacy was violated through these illegal activities. Arms full of mail representing hundreds of Washington citizens were swept up, to be opened and rifled through later – all so Gamboa and her co-conspirators could pocket their contents. Bank cards, checks, registrations, social security documents were taken and used by the defendants.”
The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS). The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Victoria Cantore.

Effective Jan. 1, 2027, Washington state’s new minimum wage will be $17.73 an hour, an increase of 3.5 percent.
The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) made the announcement Sept. 30, adding that the increase also changes the minimum salary for workers that are overtime-exempt.
“State law requires L&I to calculate Washington’s minimum wage for the coming year using the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). L&I compares the CPI-W from August of the previous year to August of the current year and adjusts the minimum wage based on the percentage change,” said the announcement.
By law, employers can pay workers who are 14- and 15-years-old 85% of the minimum wage, which will be $15.07 an hour on Jan. 1.
Currently, the state’s minimum wage is $17.13 an hour, while the federal minimum wage has remained at $7.25 an hour since July 24, 2009. Several cities and areas in Washington currently have minimum wages that are higher than the state: Seattle, SeaTac, Tukwila, Renton, Bellingham, Everett, Burien and unincorporated King County.
Large employers with 51 or more employees currently must pay overtime-exempt workers at least 2.25 times the minimum wage. When the minimum wage increases, so will the overtime-exempt multiplier, which will become 2.5 times the minimum wage; an employee must earn at least $1,773 a week ($92,196 a year) to be exempt from receiving overtime pay.
Small businesses with up to 50 workers will not have an increase in overtime-exempt until 2028, when it is scheduled to increase from 2.25 to 2.5 times the minimum wage.
