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 Tank 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 Lake Elsinore, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

She even jumped in and helped when I needed her most. I would totally recommend Rebecca and her team to anyone with an elder that has dementia and needs care.”
“Always Best Care has been a blessing for my Mother. Mom was very resistant to having someone in her house to help her. And don't use the word caregiver with Mom, that would set her off on a angry rant, she was convinced that she didn't need any help at all, but with Mom's developing dementia amongst other things she was forgetting to eat and drink on a regular basis, and if she did remember to eat she would put dirty dishes away in the cupboard. And there are many other examples of Mom truly needing help. Along comes Always Best Care and after a month or so, Mom now claims her caregiver is a "very good friend". A friend that she spends time with, and can talk with and who helps her with shopping etc. (she still does not use the word caregiver). Everyone at Always Best has been very accommodating. Holly in scheduling keeps me in the loop and is very easy to work with for schedule changes when I need them. I would recommend Always Best to anyone that is looking to take care of a loved one in need. Sincerely, Joe”
“I was very pleased with the care my brother received from always best care services. The caregivers where outstanding, loving and clean. This company wants nothing but the best for the residents and the families. I always felt very connected with the staff. They always kept the family aware of the residents needs. Thank you Rebecca”
“I had another person recommend a place 43 miles from my home after telling her what I needed, which was not helpful. I spoke to Rebecca about two weeks ago and explained I live in Temecula and needed senior home care for my brother closer to me, because he currently lives in Corona. She listened carefully to my concerns and needs, and suggested a home in Murrieta, 8 miles away that worked out perfectly! Very helpful and I highly recommend Always Best Care!”
“I live out of state and for the first time needed to find temporary in-home care for my elderly parents in Murrieta. Tracy came to our home and put my parents at ease explaining everything to them. Both of the caregivers we had were wonderful. I will definitely use Always Best Care again when the need arises.”
“We had such a wonderful Caregiver come to help with my mom on Christmas Day! Esmerelda was a God send!!! ABC was so helpful and provided us with such a sweet caregiver! Thank you Esmerelda and ABC for creating such a memorable holiday for our Family!❤️”
“My husband, Don was recently a patient of Best Care until his passing. They were wonderful, could not have asked for more dedicated and caring women to help my family thru the most difficult time of our lives. Thankyou.”
“I started my Residential Care Facility For the Elderly last 10/2022 and the first agent that came to visit my facility is Donna from Always Best Care Senior Services in Temecula. Donna was an amazing staff of the team, and she told me about the owner which is Rebecca and the rest of the team that worked with ABC. Finding a home for a love one is difficult to find unless you have an agency like Rebecca and her team in terms of placing elderly someone you can trust and this is the team that i trusted for finding patient for my homecare. I truly believed their remarkable work thru the years of experience and great communication. I highly recommend Always Best Care in Temecula. I thank you you so much Rebecca and Donna and the rest of your team for helping families for placing their love ones and owners of homecare like me for the support you have given me since I started to open my facility for the elderly.”
“Jazell is amazing, a great communicator, and her mom loves her. Thanks for all she does!”
“Patti & I are doing well thanks, in large part, to Jeanine's excellent care. You could not have a better representative for your company. She is wonderful with Patti. When Jeanine is around Patti is a different person. She is upbeat and happy much of the time. Jeanine is a self starter, she doesn't require supervision. She sees something that needs to be done and she does it. Together we have established a routine that makes my life much less stressful. Patti and I both tell her that regularly.”
“As an owner of a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, I have utilized Always Best Care for my staffing needs for the last two years. Rebecca and her team have always been consistent, sent reliable staff and communicated with me the entire time! This is what sets them apart from any other staffing agency within a 40 mile radius. Thank you Rebecca and the entire Always Best Care staff for being nothing but amazing. You will always be my first choice when I have staffing needs.”
“I highly recommend Always Best Care of Temecula. They give outstanding service from the owner, Rebecca, to all the caregivers. I always know that my mother, who is 99 years old, is being assisted in her own home by a skilled and loving caregiver. That gives me great comfort.”
“As families make meaningful and tough decisions for their loved ones , it’s not easy to find the right expertise and support. I really appreciate Rebecca’s advice, recommendations and responsiveness. It was easy to navigate the website, fill out a request form or call. Rebecca spent time to talk with me about my family and what our options are. There aren’t many businesses or business owners willing to spend that type of quality time discussing or even provide expert knowledge based on her years of experience with elderly care. I can’t thank you enough Rebecca for your help. I plan to contact Rebecca for our family needs now and in the future.”
“Jazell is amazing, a great communicator, and her mom loves her. Thanks for all she does!”
“Patti & I are doing well thanks, in large part, to Jeanine's excellent care. You could not have a better representative for your company. She is wonderful with Patti.

“Always Best Care was amazing with helping me find a board and care for my mother. I first met with Tracy, and we set up for my mom to stay in her apartment with the help of caregivers. Before we were able to start, my mom had a few medical issues and could no longer live on her on. Charmain and Rebecca then helped find a place for my mom to live with caretakers helping her 24/7. We were in an emergency situation and they came through for us. Can't say enough good things about them.”

“I have used Always Best Care for several years now. The caregivers are always kind and willing to help with all your needs and wants. I have tried a couple of other services in the past and had some really bad service. I would recommend Always Best Care to anyone.”

Thank you Rebecca, Jim, and Holly.”

I so enjoyed being apart of ABC, being apart of the different families I assisted….. Thank you…..”

“Always Best Care Senior Services came to me HIGHLY recommended and their services was everything I had hoped for! Everyone was endearing and worked to meet all the needs for my mother who was just out of a 30 day rehabilitation stay for pneumonia. I do have high expectation for the care of my mother and in a heart beat I would utilize Always Best Care again. Thank you Donna, Holly, Charmain and the rest of the caring people.....this world needs you so badly! I am so thankful I found you all!

“I postponed having a medical procedure because I do not have family close by for transportation to and from the surgery center. It was my lucky day when the surgery center told me about Always Best Care, which is one of two companies approved by the surgery center for transportation of patients after having procedures that require anesthesia. Rebecca, the owner of Always Best Care, personally picked me up from my house, walked me into the surgery center, and returned promptly to pick me up when notified I was ready to go home. Rebecca was kind and professional, and I felt comfortable in her presence. I would highly recommend Always Best Care, and I will be using Rebecca for transportation again when I have a follow up procedure in the next few weeks.”

I could go on and on but I will end this review by saying Always Best Care lives up to its name!”

She tried to match very good quality caregivers when I needed help. The company always is very efficient and very open to any unforeseen circumstances.

“Great staff, friendly caregivers. These people love helping seniors. This company helped a family friend with in-home care, then transition to an assisted living facility in Temecula, and I can't speak highly enough about their help.”
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 Lakepoint 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 Vincenzo's Olive Tree or visit Armory Hall, 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 Lake Elsinore, 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 Lake Elsinore, 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.

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.

The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator.

A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive

LAKE ELSINORE, CA — Spurred by Gov. Gavin Newsom's order for local governments to "urgently" address homeless encampments, Riverside County has received $12.6 million in state funding to assist those living along the Murrieta Creek Trail, authorities said.
The trail travels through Murrieta, Wildomar and Lake Elsinore.
"We are honored to receive this award from the state," a spokesperson from the County of Riverside Housing Workforce Solutions told Patch.
The funding will provide direct housing assistance for 100 people and cover the cost of interim shelter, security deposits, move-in expenses and rents, the county said.
To ensure that those displaced from encampments get wraparound care such as case management, housing navigation, behavioral health, workforce and more, the funding will also go toward building a new multidisciplinary team of various county departments. Two other encampment resolution funding awards went toward addressing the Santa Ana and San Jacinto Riverbeds, according to the county.
The county says more than 80% of people served in the past have remained housed for more than three years.
The Inland Empire was collectively awarded some $34 million to help clear encampments on the heels of Newsom's executive order for encampments to be cleared across the state. Statewide, Newsom awarded $131 million for two dozen cities and counties to address encampments with stricter measures.
"We’re supporting local communities’ efforts to get people out of encampments and connected with care and housing across the state," Newsom said earlier this month. "The state has committed more than $27 billion to help local governments tackle the homelessness crisis — and we want to see $27 billion worth of results."
Here's how the state funding was distributed in the Inland Empire:
The news comes as the city of Riverside passed a local ordinance on Tuesday, outlawing encampments in most public spaces.
The proposal for the ordinance came after the U.S. Supreme Court decided on June 28 that local governments could arrest people camping or sleeping on public property — even if there weren't enough shelter beds available for them.
But not all were in support of the move.
"We have enough research to know that we cannot criminalize our way out of the crisis. We have enough experience to know what happens when we sweep encampments and tag tents in our city," said Dr. Chris Obert, CEO of Path of Life Ministries.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, Calif. — Throughout the 'California's Dying Lakes' series, we've seen some sobering images of some of California's beautiful blue lakes going green. Eagle Lake, Clear Lake and Lake Tahoe are each unique in the factors that most contribute to the water color and clarity changing, but they are unified on one front — finding a solution.
ABC10 meteorologist Rob Carlmark took a trip to Southern California's largest natural lake, Lake Elsinore. This lake is facing the same scenario, but the leaders of the community surrounding the lake are taking the next step. They put forth real action and are getting results.
If you haven't heard of Lake Elsinore, it’s a place that has what you would want in a smaller town. It has a quaint main street, with trees lining brick blocks of a downtown with mom and pop shops. It has a barber shop with an old barber pole and a popular dive bar, the Wreck.
Lake Elsinore’s Historical Society says it's kept people coming and staying since the 1800s. Celebrities like Steve McQueen and the original Dracula, Bela Lugosi, visited often decades ago for work and leisure, but the star of the town is the lake.
It's the largest natural freshwater lake in Southern California. It is fairly shallow but six miles long and the surface area is nearly 3,000 acres.
"The lake is the jewel of the city and it is the centerpiece. We attract visitors from all over the world," said mayor Steve Manos.
When the lake turned green with toxic cyanobacteria algae in 2022, the town was heavily impacted. They've had numerous periods of the water turning green, but the outbreak prompted a six-month closure.
Residents demanded Lake Elsinore’s mayor and city council address the issue.
"It tends to have this particular problem with cyanobacteria where the algae blooms come about each summer. In past years it's caused massive fish kills which then in turn cause other problems and feeds the ongoing annual problem of the large algae blooms," said Manos about the lake.
All lakes have different factors aiding algae growth. At Lake Elsinore, treated wastewater adds elements like phosphorus that helps algae grow. The water quality can also be affected by decades of hotter years with longer periods of drought. A prolonged warmer, shallow water table adds to more devastating blooms. The lake went through one of its most dangerous outbreaks of toxic green algae in March 2023.
Before the outbreak, the city spent millions upgrading businesses and boat launches at their Launch Pointe facility. These campgrounds and restaurants were not used to their full potential when the lake closed.
The mayor says the residents spoke up.
"They want to see something done and no matter how difficult that is, they'd like to go ahead and see us make the effort," said Manos.
He tasked the city council and others, like community support manager Adam Gufarotti, to come up with a plan to save the lake.
"We are really pushing hard to make changes now. Our residents deserve this, the region deserves a lake that they can swim in year-round and we are going to deliver on that," Gufarotti said during a tour of the lake in August.
He also adds they planned to move quickly, something even residents may not have expected. The city passed a sweeping lake management plan during the lake’s closure and within months, they had the first pieces of a purification puzzle in place.
Among the many things the city of Lake Elsinore has tried to do in the lake to help the water quality is a floating nanobubbler. They say they are getting results.
A barge keeps the nanobubbler in place, which emits very tiny bubbles in a test portion in the lake that are suspended in the water column instead of floating up. This process is designed to disrupt the typical lifecycle of algae growth and improve clarity.
The city installed a test bubbler on the north side of the lake. That year, mother nature also provided ample rain over the winter, and officials saw results within the first year.
During the visit in August, Gufarotti compared satellite images of the outbreak in March 2023 to the much cleaner lake in March 2024.
The color and clarity of the lake changed. In March 2024, people could see 16 feet under the surface of the lake, and good healthy algae was growing at the bottom.
Gufarotti said the locals were sounding off on social media.
"People were posting photos and other ones were like, 'That can't be Lake Elsinore,' and sure enough, more and more people came down, saw it and said, 'Yes, that's Lake Elsinore,' and then we had our 30 year residents come and say, 'I've lived here my whole life ... and I've never seen Lake Elsinore that clear,'" said Gufarotti.
Manos says the nanobubbler plan will expand with plans to spend $8 million on more, larger nano-bubblers.
"Redemption and certainly hope sprung anew. During the spring time, we saw some very clear water and a very good result that I believe changed a lot of opinions as to what was possible," he said.
For Lake Elsinore, this is just the beginning. In future years, it will likely be warmer with more droughts. Keeping phosphorus in check will also be a challenge.
It's a big problem with no silver bullet, but people are fighting for this little lake town.
"We all as humans deserve a place to swim and enjoy. We need that as part of our life. It's part of our mental health. We need a place to stretch our legs and swim," said Gufarotti.
This approach and effort to keep Lake Elsinore from going dramatically green is gaining international attention. A group from South Africa paid a visit to their first "Global Water Summit" in September to discuss their similar green lake issues and to find solutions, too.
