Home Care In Murrieta, CA

Home Care Murrieta, 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 The second Murrieta Grammar School 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.

We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect.

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.

“I have worked with Always Best Care for years and with three different family members. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rebecca and Tracy who are both compassionate and supportive to both the patient and the family members. Their service truly goes above and beyond. We needed specific care for my father and they found us the perfect group home for him, they were amazing and as my mom was recovering ❤️‍???? from heart surgery she joined him there. After losing my dad in Dec of ‘23 when my mom was ready Tracy recommended the perfect Assisted Living Facility in Murrieta for her. While it’s an inevitable new chapter Tracy has even checked in to see how she is doing. I cannot recommend them enough! Our entire family is so grateful to Always Best Care!”

“From the very beginning, for about a year I spoke with Tracy Durling about my mom’s situation. Tracy came over and met my mom and we started talking about different assisted living facilities in the area. After about a year we finally were easy to tour some facilities and we decided on one, which was one that Tracy highly recommended. My mom have been there for about 7 months now and she loves it there. If it wasn’t for Tracy and her knowledge of these facilities and the huge heart she has to help people, I truly don’t know how I would have done this on my own. If anyone is looking to put a loved one in assisted living or even have home care, I would most definitely call Always Best Care Senior Services, they are the best and go out of their way to meet your needs.”

My husband can be aggressive and angry, but our ABC caregiver has the experience to handle the situation and keep them both safe. This is unlike other caregiving services we have employed, where caregivers just walked out once they found out my husband could get aggressive. 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.”

“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!

TESTIMONIALS

“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”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Murrieta, CA?

lm-check

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.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

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.

lm-check

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.

Home Care Murrieta, CA
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

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 Talia Kitchen or visit Monument Hill, 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.

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 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.

 Elderly Care Murrieta, CA

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.
 Senior Care Murrieta, CA

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 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.

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.

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

This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided.

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.

MURRIETA, CA — Cal Fire/Riverside County and Murrieta Fire and Rescue firefighters fully contained the brush fire that scorched nearly 60 acres in unincorporated Riverside County Thursday evening.

The blaze, dubbed the Baxter Fire, was reported at 3:25 p.m. Thursday in the 35200 block of Avenida Manana, near the area of Baxter Road and Kingsnake Avenue, just east of Interstate 215, according to the Riverside County Fire Department. The blaze was 30% contained three hours later, and all evacuation warnings were removed.

Fire officials announced Friday morning that the fire was fully contained overnight, and crews would be checking for any remaining hot spots within the containment lines throughout the morning.

According to reports from the scene, five Cal Fire air tankers and a water-dropping helicopter began dropping water on the brush fire at 3:50 p.m. Thursday, significantly slowing its spread.

An evacuation warning for homes west of Briggs Road and south of Keller Road was lifted at 5:30 p.m. Thursday. No road closures were in place. A full evacuation was never implemented during this incident. Riverside County residents are reminded to plan ahead, know their evacuation zone and escape routes, and prepare a list of what they would bring in case of future evacuation warnings.

MURRIETA, CA — Weather forecasters say that Murrieta will trade May gray for sunshine and heat this week.

Though the past few weeks have brought spring drizzle, cooler temperatures and cloudy skies, a dramatic shift in the weather is expected to heat up Riverside County by the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

In Murrieta, beginning Thursday, temperatures will climb to a high of 86 degrees before ascending to 93 on Friday and 96 or higher on Saturday, the hottest day of the mini-heat wave, NWS forecasters said.

"Saturday is expected to be the warmest day. High temperatures willbe as much as 15 to 20 degrees above average for the valleys withhigh temperatures for inland areas, around 35 degrees warmer thanthis very cool past Sunday," forecasters wrote on Wednesday.

On Sunday, temperatures are expected to cool to around 86 degrees in Murrieta.

Riverside County residents can expect another cooling trend after a brief heatwave, with temperatures dropping Sunday through Tuesday — up to 10 to 15 degrees below average in the mountains, Inland Empire and high desert, according to the NWS.

The rain and snowfall were welcome news last week, as the southern reaches of the state are suffering yet again from widespread drought. But these spring storms aren't expected to help much on that front.

However, the spring storm did bring significant snow above 8,000 feet to Big Bear and "heavy" snow to the top of San Jacinto Peak, which is accessible by the popular Palm Springs Tramway, according to multiple reports.

Although the region is expected to heat up quite a bit, forecasters said record-breaking temperatures aren't likely.

MURRIETA, CA — Residents of Murrieta should prepare for a drizzly spring weekend as a storm system approaches Southern California, weather officials say.

After a windy and partly cloudy but otherwise warm Friday, the area could see clouds knit together and showers beginning Saturday night, the National Weather Service reported.

"A few thunderstorms should enter the mix Sunday afternoon," the NWS said of the storm. "Storm total precipitation is not impressive, around .5 inches for the mountain spots, but less than a tenth of an inch for the coast and desert."

Here's Murrieta's rain forecast by day, according to NWS:

Warmer weather is expected to return after the weekend.

"It will be much cooler by Sunday, then gradually warmer early next week," the NWS said in its Thursday forecast discussion.

The spring drizzle comes as part of a broader storm system moving over California, bringing rainfall, wind and potential thunderstorms across the state, according to weather officials. While the storm is not expected to be intense, it is notable for May.

As the Southland heads into its dry season, a storm moving across the interior West this weekend may be one of the final chances for coastal Southern California to see significant rainfall before fall, according to a Wednesday report from AccuWeather.

The rain comes as welcome news as the southern reaches of the state suffer yet again from widespread drought. But these spring storms aren't expected to help much on that front.

"The rain and snow expected this weekend will have little to no impact on the Southern California drought since the amounts will be rather low," according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Chad Merrill.
