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 Fritz Guenther Statue 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 Murrieta, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

I would highly recommend ABC for the care of your loved one.”

“Highly recommend the entire team at Always Best Care in Temecula! We knew absolutely nothing about in-home care when my mom fell ill, but Tracy came in and was a lifesaver. She was compassionate, thoughtful, full of information, and listened carefully to our needs and concerns and then took care of it. We never had to divert our attention away from mom because Tracy was on it. We needed 24/7 assistance, and every single caregiver who came in was so helpful and kind with my mom and with us. They took care of all of her needs and were so considerate to my dad's needs as well. I don't know how we would have gotten through her passing without these special people by our side. We were so impressed that we decided to continue with several of the caregivers to help with my dad's needs and his grief. They have been absolutely amazing with him. The communication with us is phenomenal, from the caregivers to the office team, so we are always kept in the loop. Holly and Rebecca have been beyond patient and have been so very friendly, understanding, and gracious with us and our many requests. We can't thank them enough for their support through these difficult and emotional times. Our family can always breathe just a little bit easier when the team is with him as we know he will be in good hands.”
“Rebecca does amazing work at ABC. She is very compassionate & knowledgeable. Always making sure all the needs of her clients are met in the best possible way. Highly recommended”
“Although my wife and I are not quite ready for in-home care services, we like to plan ahead. We had a lot of questions so we called Always Best Care. Holly was happy to answer all our inquiries. She was very patient with us even though we told her we were not ready to use them yet. We felt good about the info provided and will use their services if the need arises.”
“Always Best, specifically Rebecca, was there when I needed them. I was given information to help me make the best decisions for the care of my dad even if every option wasn’t income for Always Best. The nurses were wonderful, compassionate, comforting and extremely helpful as my dad’s health declined.”
“After my dad was hospitalized and needing 24 hour care, I got in touch with Rebecca at ABC. She was so knowledgeable and helpful with helping me find a safe place for my dad to go. What sets her apart from the other companies is that she is passionate about what she does. She truly wants the best for her elderly clients. I am an RN myself, and trust her 100%, I have seen firsthand that Rebecca will always do what’s best for the client even if it doesn’t benefit her. She even checks in on my dad from time to time and wishes him well. Thank you again Rebecca!”
“After a great deal of research to pick a home care service for my mother-in-law we chose this one. IT WAS A GREAT CHOICE! Melanie was our first point of contact and she made a GREAT first impression. With only a 1 day notice she was able to schedule Christina to spend a 16 hour shift with my mother-in-law overnight the first night she was home after 1 week in a Kaiser hospital and 2 weeks in a skilled nursing facility. My mother-in-law is sometimes very difficult to please, especially when she is spending money for ANY service! She was delighted with Christina and even gave her hugs when she left the next morning! We highly recommend Always Best Care!”
“Rebecca and her team are astoundingly helpful. Having worked in senior care for 10 years as an OT and now owner of a board and care, I can say with confidence that these are tremendous people. The caring way they guide seniors and their families through finding placement is top notch. I recommend anyone seeking a great helpful guide to reach out and get the help they deserve from this team.”
“Without Tracy, not sure how we would have gotten the time, care, and understanding of placement for mom. Senior care and assistant living facilities are not all the same. So glad we had Tracy to guide us through the process. Love moms permanent home in Murrieta!”
“Rebecca is incredible and helped me relocate my mother with dementia from Seattle to Murrieta. She had all the information about the local care community that I needed. 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.

“Rebecca and her team at Always Best Care in Temecula are the kindest, caring and most qualified home care agency! I have worked with Rebecca and her team for 7 years and love them! They are the best choice if you want the best care for your loved ones!”

“trustworthy and compassionate senior care in Temecula. this company will exceed your expectations! best in-home care provider in the area.”
“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 needed an occasional helping hand after a surgery. This company quickly sent a representative so we could decide on what was needed, and provided a smart, savvy, young woman, who was very helpful.”
“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.”
“I have been a caregiver for over a decade and have been with for ABC for the last four years. This company has some of the best people I have ever worked with in the industry. Staff that is helpful and understanding and caregivers that are attentive and compassionate. Working here is a constant reminder of why I fell in love with caregiving as a career. Thank you Rebecca, Jim, and Holly.”
“It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with such a sweet and understanding staff.”
“I worked for Rebecca, Holly and the rest of the AMAZING women at Always Best Care….. I would still be there if I hadn’t moved back to Ohio. The staff is so compassionate towards the community, whether you are in need of assistance, caregiver….. They are there for all your needs…. I so enjoyed being apart of ABC, being apart of the different families I assisted….. Thank you…..”
“Always Best Care is a great place to work. I have been working as a caregiver for over a year. Senior care is a very rewarding job and having a great team to work with makes it so much better. Rebecca and Holly are wonderful people who truly care not only their clients but also their employees. I am so grateful to have this company as my employer.”

“Rebecca was wonderful to work with. My friend who recommended her gave me her number I called and we literally had my mother in law placed in a wonderful residential assisted living facility that very same day. Rebecca is very particular about where she places her clients.she is very passionate about what she does. Taking care of our elderly parents can become so difficult and knowing there are people like Rebecca to help when the time comes to place them for more needed care is a Godsend ???? would highly recommend.”
“They are very thorough and personal take the time to match you up with someone that can meet your needs always professional and cheerful we are very happy with who they matched my mother with????????????”
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 Murrieta Barratt 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 Anthony's Lounge & Ristorante or visit Murrieta Museum., 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 Murrieta, 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 Murrieta, 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 Murrieta, 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.

MURRIETA, CA — Saturday, Nov. 30, is crucial for independently owned local businesses in Murrieta and across Riverside County. It’s Small Business Saturday, the kickoff to “shop small” events emphasizing the power of dollars spent in local communities.
Founded by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday is sandwiched between the major Black Friday retail shopping holiday, which tends to favor national brands, and Cyber Monday, an online shopping event that this year takes place on Dec. 2.
Numerous small businesses in Murrieta are participating in Small Business Saturday, including retail stores, restaurants and cafes, services and spas. To see which businesses near you are participating, click here.
Since it started in 2010, consumers have reported spending an estimated $163 billion at small businesses across all 12 Small Business Saturdays combined.
There are more than 4.2 million of small businesses in California, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s 2024 state profiles.
Between 2022 and 2023, 211,941 small businesses opened in California and 1.9 million jobs were added. The most common small businesses in the state are for professional, scientific and technical services, transportation and warehousing, and real estate.
Local businesses depend on increased sales in the last few months of the year to help them reach their revenue goals, and you’ll find plenty of in-store cheer and holiday happenings that will make the shopping experience fun.
Locally owned businesses recirculate a far greater percentage of revenue locally compared to absentee-owned businesses, according to the American Independent Business Alliance.
Independents return about 48 percent of their revenues back into the local economy, compared to 14 percent returned to the local economy by chains.
Small businesses are typically defined by the federal government as those with fewer than 500 employees.
They are responsible for two of every three jobs over the past 25 years. Even a partial collapse of small businesses could weaken the overall U.S. economy, according to the Labor Department.
