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 Centinela Adobe in Inglewood, CA 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 Inglewood, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

Service AreasSince 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.

We couldn't ask for more. If you are looking for the gold standard for your loved ones care, Always Best Care is it.”
“My mother is 87 years old and is challenged with Alzheimer's and Dementia. We were referred to Always Best Care Senior Services by her physicians to allow a bit of rest for her fulltime family caregiver as well as give my mother an opportunity to experience a change for her cognitive stimulation. We were so blessed to have an amazing Care Manager, Ashley who coordinated all appointments and visits. Ashely's intake included vital questions about my mother's personality, likes and dislikes to match her with the appropriate caregiver. It worked! My mother was matched with Ms. Chyrlene. She is vibrant, and a burst of energy which was a great match. We are assessing the needs of my mother to either increase hours and or days. The companionship and time spent was thoroughly enjoyable by all.”
“I wanted to share that Ashley at Always Best Care Senior Services is an Angel! Everyone on her Team has made such a positive impact in not only my Dad's life, but in mine as well. She is always so positive and thoughtful! I cannot tell you what an absolute Blessing this experience has been for us. A shout out to all the caregivers. You make a difference, you are incredible humans! Thank you”

“I feel extraordinarily grateful to have connected with this agency, specifically with Dr. Hart, during a time in my life when my husband of 60 years was a victim of that horrible illness-Alzheimers. Dr.Hart provided a support system that helped me identify my strengths, handle my despair, and be present for my husband in a way that nurtured and uplifted him. I have continued to meet with Dr. Hart periodically when I feel the need to clarify my progress without a mate. He is so sensitive and perceptive that I always leave our meetings with a plan. I'm also grateful for the positive and loving environment created by his staff so every visit to the office is nurturing. Of course, the services available provide me the comfort of knowing when and if I find myself in need of elder care, Always Best will be my first and only choice.”
“I highly recommend Always Best Care for every aspect from the ones seeking care for a loved one or themselves, all the way to the ones seeking an opportunity to care for a senior. I personally worked for ABC, and throughout my years with them I had the pleasure of interacting with the seniors as well as with the amazing caregivers. From the stories of a much more simpler time in the elders life to the reasons from a caregiver wanting to truly care for the seniors. (Most reasons are personal to them that have impacted their life and heart). This is truly a caring company with exceptional professional staff. It's hard to find a company that demonstrates both of those traits....”
“Always Best Care absolutely saved us when my father needed immediate assistance. Maria and team were extremely compassionate, responsive, informative and truly wanted us to feel comfortable with every small detail. The caretakers were all amazing and dependable. I truly cannot say enough positive things about the level of service provided by ABC as they helped us navigate this truly impossible time.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Always Best Care in the South Bay. I was lucky to be referred to ABC when my Father suddenly needed in-home care several years ago and I hired ABC again a few months ago when my friend needed in-home care. The learning curve is steep when a family member is no longer independent. Having reliable, caring and professional caregivers is invaluable in getting through these challenges. Hiring the caregivers from ABC allowed me to be the "daughter" again. I absolutely could not have cared for my beloved Father or my dear friend without ABC by my side!”
“Always Best Care agency has been wonderful to work with. The caregivers they have provided to stay with my dear friend, who has dementia, have been outstanding. My husband, an MD, and I, an RN, have rather high standards and have found all of the caregivers to be professional, caring and extremely reliable (24/7 care in this case) They go above and beyond expectations. I have felt safe with the caregivers,as they are also down-to-earth; caring people. Dr. David Hart is the main point person in this family-run agency and he is not only a very caring person, he is extremely intelligent in his communication, yet very down-to earth at the same time. He is responsive to any issues that arise immediately…not only for the client, but also to his caregivers, who he genuinely cares about. That is perhaps why he attracts and retains such stellar employees, We feel very lucky to have found ABC Senior Care services. Ilene Watson, RN and Dr. Walter Watson,MD, Manhattan Beach, CA”
“The senior in-home care was top notch. The caregivers were caring, comforting, and always available even with our requested schedule changes. Definitely would recommend to others in our family.”
“I attended the free family caregivers seminar presented by Dr. David Hart. The seminar was both informative and practical. Dr. Hart is very knowledgeable and practical as he cared for his grandmother with Alzheimers. He is an unusually caring person who is very approachable. I am grateful to know him and to know he is available whenever he might be needed.”
“Dr David Hart has given me security to know that I can do it. He has such a caring and approachable demeanor. I feel I can call on him at any time for help with either one of us. Thank heavens he came along in our lives.”
“My experience with ABC Senior Services has been uniformly positive, starting with participation in their Memory Club several years ago. My wife has Alzheimer's and the challenges are severe. ABC, notably Dr. David Hart, has been a terrific source of support and advice. They take the time to understand your individual needs and circumstances. This is a great resource for those of us in the South Bay.”
“This is a long overdue review and endorsement of Always Best Care-Torrance. My family is forever grateful for all the care given to my father for more than four years. From our initial meeting with Carrie and David to selecting the most wonderful caregiver that was with Dad to the end of his days. The love and support from everyone at ABC was so appreciated especially during some very difficult times. May God bless you always - You are truly special angels. Thank you all!”
“I attended one of their monthly caregiver essentials workshop and found it incredibly informative. I now have a much better understanding of the disease progression, and have walked away with so many helpful resources. Attending made me aware that I do not have to struggle alone through this, there are support groups and resources available to assist me. Dr. David Hart is a compassionate person who is genuinely willing to help others navigate the path of caring for a loved one with dementia.”
“Carrie, David, and their team are terrific to work with. Carrie has been a lifesaver by helping us to quickly find a wonderful 24/7 board and care facility for our loved one who is suffering from both advanced dementia and a broken, severe arthritic neck. They have provided very capable temporary care givers to us to help with taking our loved one to doctor's appointments and during the time our loved one was being treated in the hospital. David has thoroughly educated us on all aspects of dementia and counseled the family members to help sort out their emotions during these difficult times. We strongly recommend Always Best Care South Bay to anyone needing advise, help, and services to find care facilities, care givers, and/or counseling.”
“From the moment I first spoke to Mark Wecker at Always Best Care, he was kind, caring and extremely knowledgeable. He made sure to ask all the right questions to help my siblings and me find the perfect place for our father who had very advanced Parkinson's Disease. He took us to places that fit the high quality we were looking for and in our budget range. Mark showed genuine concern for us and my father. And he helped us navigate through a challenging situation. We made a great decision based on his expert advice. Unfortunately, my father passed away before we could bring him to LA. But I will always be grateful for the detailed attention we received from Mark and Always Best Care.”
“My son and I have received family counseling from Dr. Hart for nearly two years. We both suffer from PTSD, among other mental disabilities, and have been seen by a number of therapists over the years. We have found Dr. Hart’s care to be among the most helpful. He is kind, understanding, and patient. Rather than employing long term, traditional psychotherapy or other limited methods exclusively, he uses different approaches to break through a person’s natural resistance. He suggests interpretations of feelings and actions, asks questions that show real insight, and then gives practical and usually appropriate advice that can be accepted or discussed further. He has treated us with respect and even with a non-intrusive, kind of professional affection. We would recommend him to friends and family without hesitation.”
“I'm glad I attended Dr. Hart's caregiver support workshop which focused on Alzheimer's disease. I knew then Always Best Care would be the right agency to handle my Dad's care. From the beginning to the end the staff were professional and courteous. My dad unfortunately decided to end services because of his stubbornness. Mark was understanding and expressed his concern for my Dad's wellbeing. He didn't push for us to continue services. I would work with ABC again if my father agrees to resume services. They definitely have your loved ones best interest in mind.”
“Experienced people, excellent service.”
“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. David Hart for your elder-care needs. Dr. Hart is an incredibly knowledgeable and caring person who helped our family beyond measure to provide the best level of care for our mother who has Alzheimer's Disease. We engaged Dr. Hart to 1) conduct his own periodic assessments of our mother; 2) create a forum for our broader family, including our mom, to communicate and ask questions; 3) provide training and resources; and 4) help our family evaluate and implement an interim and long-term care plan for our mother. DR. HART EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS ON EVERY LEVEL. Prior to meeting Dr. Hart we had received a lot of conflicting information and our broader family was experiencing a very high level of stress and frustration. Thankfully, after engaging with Dr. Hart for several months, our family became knowledgeable, we communicated well with each other, and we just implemented a long-term care plan that addresses all of our mom's needs and one that she really enjoys. DR. HART IS THE BEST AND HE TRULY CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS AND THE FAMILIES HE WORKS WITH. Thank you Dr. Hart for all of you have done for our family. Words cannot express our gratitude.”
“Dr Hart knows so much about dealing with issues that Alzheimer's creates for those who have the disease as well as those of us who are caretakers.”
“Best in home care company in the South Bay & LA”
“Mark Wecker provided us with invaluable help both in terms of finding appropriate board &scare homes for our loved one, and explaining how this whole senior placement business works. It turns out we were quite naïve about it being a "service" as it is very territorial! That made us all the more impressed with Mark's unselfish and caring approach to helping us meet our needs. He also took time to really listen to our criteria, asked great questions when he accompanied us to look at the homes, and only showed us places that met our standards. We recommend him highly to anyone!”
““ I have been very happy with the excellent professional and loving care services ABC has provided for Kathleen who suffers from Alzheimer’s Dementia and the Andreoli family who cares for her. ABC is a full service provider that has also offered free seminars, consultation and information to me and my daughter who are Kathleen’s primary care takers. These have helped us greatly in this daunting task. THANK YOU – Leo Andreoli, Torrance, CA””
“My widowed 80-year-old mother who has Alzheimer's disease has been living alone for 3 years. She has been extremely resistant to having caregivers in her home and my brother and I had all but given up. We have been amazed at the progress we've made since enlisting the help of Dr. David Hart at Always Best Care. In a little over a month, Mom has accepted a caregiver and is considering a move to an assisted living facility. Equally important, the support and assistance we have received in making both large and small decisions has been invaluable and a huge relief. I also highly recommend the Caregiving Essentials class taught by Dr. Hart, which covers everything you need to know in a single 3-1/2 hour "bootcamp" session, including brain science, communication tips, and resources. (GPS shoe insert, who knew?!) The class would benefit anyone who has a friend or family member suffering from dementia.”
“I want to express how helpful Mark Wecker was to me and my family as we were looking for a place for my father to live. We needed to quickly move him from Kansas City to Los Angeles. Mark spent time with us to hear our needs and then appropriately guide us through this new challenging stage in our lives. His advice and dedicated time was so valuable and personable to us, I don't how we would have managed without him. Thank you again, Mark!”
“Thankful and grateful don’t seem quite good enough to express how I feel about Always Best Care South Bay and all the good work they do. They offer a support group run by Dr. David Hart. That group was my lifeline while I was caring for my husband. When it came time to place him in a memory care facility, they assisted me with that decision also. Dr. Hart and his team are extremely knowledgeable, always professional but most of all genuinely caring.”
“The attitude and professionalism of the management of a company is especially important in the field of elder care. I can think of no better way to express my experience with Always Best Care then to say the management and their hands on approach with the care givers they hire is 5 stars”
“Its always a pleasure working with a team that has their hearts and minds on the patient’s wellbeing. ABC is the way to go.”
“Always best care saved my life they have a great staff ready to assist 24/7 always available and reliable I highly recommend Always best care.”
“I am a current client of this provider This company is very professional. All the staff is very experenced. They provide top notch care..The caregivers are also so professional on time and experenced.”
“I am a current client of this provider Very professional staff. Also my caregiver was awesome”
“I am a current client of this provider Best In Home Care Company in the Southbay”
“I am a past client of this provider Helpful, compassionate, and always available to assist. I appreciate Always Best Care so much!”
“The staff are friendly and professional every step of the way.”

He also took time to really listen to our criteria, asked great questions when he accompanied us to look at the homes, and only showed us places that met our standards. We recommend him highly to anyone!”
“Dr. Hart has been of monumental assistance to our family during a very difficult time. We first learned of Dr. David’s practice when mom was first diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). His support groups for families and patients offered comfort and practical advice from others going through the same experience. He provided essential information—facts about dementia and lifestyle changes to slow the process—based on the latest research findings, sparing us the time and frustration of navigating the web and sorting facts from myths. But most important to me has been the emotional support Dr. David has personally provided to my sister and I, and the trusting relationship he established with mom. His professional empathy and experience with human behavior as well as his expertise in the field of geriatrics and cognition combine to provide an array of servicesthat will truly make the difference toward a successful transition for elders and their families. I could not recommend Dr. Hart more highly!”
“I want to let you know how fortunate I feel that our lives intersected with your company and with those who work there. When I realized that we would be needing a company that provided caring care-providing services, I was hoping and praying that I would find a company like yours. We could not have asked for better with the service Always Best Care provided. Even when the chemistry and/or the timing wasn't quite right, adjustments were made and reasonably so. Carrie, that introductory talk you and I first had and why you started ABC -- I want to let you know that what you created and why you created it is evident. Some of Dad's caregivers go the extra mile and above and beyond and really give of themselves. They are really top notch people. I have heartfelt gratitude for your company and for your employees who cared for my dad during our time of need. Thank you not only for providing the service that your company does, but also and in particular, for the high quality of the service that some of your employees provided.”
“I am so very fortunate to be a part of a professional, caring and supportive company. We are all family here trying our very best to be a family for all the clients we work with. Our caregivers and staff try our best to help those families in need live a peacefully, fulfilling and loving life. If you want to have a dependable, reliable and gratifying career come and work with Always Best Care South Bay!!”
“I've worked for four agencies over the last 16 years but this is the best by far! Personable, supportive, compassionate, knowledgeable, and the greatest staff!”
“Great place to work”
“Ms.Carrie Bianco (owner) is very friendly and accomodating. Ms.Rhona (staffing) is very nice, easy to approach...I would say this company is wonderful to be part of a team...Great people, great company. ABC is the answer for your help! more power!!!Ed”
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 Siminski Park in Inglewood, CA 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 Restaurant or visit Beach Boys Historic Landmark, 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 Inglewood, 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 Inglewood, 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 Inglewood, 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.

Midland High was in control for most of its football game against visiting Inglewood (Calif.) on Thursday night.
However, the Bulldogs couldn’t put away the Sentinels.
Inglewood scored 35 second-half points to stun Midland High with a 43-42 comeback victory in a battle of California vs. Texas at Astound Broadband Stadium.
The Sentinels (2-3) fought back from a 28-8 halftime deficit and a 35-15 deficit in the third quarter to down the Bulldogs (1-4) in their non-district finale.
Semaj Welch had 15 carries for 132 yards and four second-half touchdowns to lead Inglewood’s rally.
MHS squandered a 331-yard performance from its ground game and a fine showing by senior Wyatt King, who ran 18 times for 135 yards and two TDs.
Leading 42-35, the Bulldogs shanked a punt, giving Inglewood possession on their own 26 with a delay of game penalty tacked on to the end of the play.
The Sentinels took advantage of the short field when Welch scored on a 22-yard TD run with 2 minutes, 36 seconds remaining.
Inglewood followed with a 2-point pass from Lincoln Jahn to Donovin Randolph to take its first lead of the game at 43-42.
On the ensuing possession, Stanford commit Sarrell Howard sacked MHS for an 8-yard loss on fourth-and-10 at the Bulldog 32, leading to a turnover on downs and essentially sealing the game for Inglewood.
“I’m thankful for Midland, Texas, for hosting us,” Sentinels head coach Mil’Von James said. “We’re super grateful for the opportunity. It’s a wonderful atmosphere. Texas football is pretty impressive. But our team, the grit and tenacity that we talk about and resiliency. We talk about the core values of our program and discipline and resiliency are one of the key factors. The kids showed that in the second half and they fought back to a victory.”
Trailing 28-8 at halftime, Inglewood started the second half on a positive when Welch scored on a 48-yard run on the Sentinels’ first drive.
MHS responded when backup quarterback Holt Howard completed a 17-yard TD pass to Ross Blackburn, extending their lead to 35-15 with 3:37 left in the third quarter.
However, Inglewood followed with a 63-yard kickoff return by SMU commit Andre Nickerson, which set up a 10-yard TD run from Welch. The Sentinels trailed 35-21 with 3:16 left in the third.
MHS gave Inglewood a chance to get back into it when it fumbled on its next possession.
The Sentinels cashed in when Jahn threw a 30-yard TD pass to Allen Wilson on third-and-22, narrowing their deficit to 35-27 with 23 seconds left in the third quarter.
The Dawgs answered on their next drive when sophomore Evan Taylor scored on a 13-yard run, pushing MHS to a 42-27 lead with 10:03 remaining.
Inglewood had slim chance to win when it faced a fourth-and-8 on its own 27 on next possession, but Jahn completed a 41-yard pass to Wilson to keep the Sentinels’ hopes alive.
Two plays later, Welch scored on a 9-yard TD run and the Sentinels added a 2-point conversion, narrowing their deficit to 42-35 with 7:59 left.
“Anytime you lose the lead like that, it falls on one guy and that’s on me,” Bulldogs head coach Thad Fortune said. “I’ve got to find a way to help our team to close out games better than I did tonight. We just didn’t execute, frankly, in all three phases of the game in the second half and credit to Inglewood, who made some outstanding plays. They’ve got great players and they found a way to get them the ball and get stops when they needed to and make big plays when they needed to.
“It’s crushing for our kids and our staff and our community and a lot of people work really hard for this thing. It’s disheartening to let them down like that. We’ve got to bounce back and get ready for district play.”
MHS hosts Wolfforth Frenship in its District 2-6A opener at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 10.
The Bulldogs went into halftime with 28-8 lead when Love scored on a 1-yard run as time expired. Love rushed for two TDs.
“I don’t think for one second that anyone on our side underestimated these guys,” Fortune said. “We’ve seen three games of tape on them. We knew how talented they were and how explosive they could be. We were able to bottle them up for a little bit, but we just couldn’t hold on. A lot of credit to them for traveling and playing the way they did tonight. It was an unbelievable job by Coach James and his staff, an outstanding job. I’m disappointed that I couldn’t get it done for our players and our staff and our community.”
Carter Anderson had six carries for 75 yards for the Bulldogs; Jordan McGowan had 36 rushing yards and 28 receiving yards on two catches; and Izaiah Miller had four carries for 32 yards and a TD.
MHS safety Carson Ham had his team-leading fifth interception in the first quarter.

Midland High, for the second straight year, has sought competition from a highly regarded high school football state to fill its fifth pre-district date.
The Bulldogs (1-3) host Inglewood, California, (1-3) at 7 p.m. Thursday at Astound Broadband Stadium.
MHS beat Lantana (Fla.) Santaluces, 56-31, at Astound Broadband Stadium during its fifth game of the 2024 season.
Bulldogs head coach Thad Fortune said the school district used Brian Hercules to arrange the matchup with Inglewood after he set up last year’s meeting with Santaluces. Hercules is based out of Scottsdale, Arizona, and runs a service setting up out-of-state football games.
Inglewood is coming off a 10-1 season in 2024 and has gone 58-7 since Mil’Von James first took over as head coach in 2019.
MHS had to look to the Golden State to fill its fifth game because during 2024 UIL realignment there were only three six-team Class 6A districts in the state with District 2 and Districts 31-32 in the Rio Grande Valley, which can play each other.
“Everybody is in district play already, so you can't find a game and so we just had to do everything we could,” Fortune said. “Last year we were able to bring in a team from Florida and this year a great, great football team from Inglewood, California. They’re really athletic and have talent all over the field. They fly around, they're big, they're fast, so we're gonna have to really prepare well. We’ve got a short week, and we’ve got to have a great week of preparation and get ready to go.”
The Bulldogs’ triple-option offense amassed 556 rushing yards during a 70-35 road win over El Paso Montwood last Friday.
MHS wasn’t stopped once on offense as senior quarterback Tristan Love threw two touchdown passes; senior slot Jordan McGowan scored three TDs and had 162 total yards from scrimmage; sophomore running back Evan Taylor ran eight times for 157 yards and two TDs; senior running back Wyatt King had 13 carries for 106 yards and a TD; and senior Izaiah Miller had 11 attempts for 85 rushing yards and two TDs.
The Bulldogs will face a talented Inglewood front that includes Stanford commit Sarrel Howard at edge rusher and two four-star defensive linemen Elija Harmon and Myels Smith.
Harmon holds offers from the likes of Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas Tech and USC, while Smith has received offers from Nebraska, Ohio State, UCLA and USC.
Two other Inglewood defensive linemen also have D1 offers.
The Sentinels’ offense is highlighted by a pair of talented tight ends in SMU commit Andre Nickerson and Division I recruit Luke Lopez.
“They've got skill guys everywhere that can go to the house, and then on defense, they're long and they're big and they can run,” Fortune said. “It’s really going to be a big-time test for us. We'll have to do what we do really well with our with our fundamentals and our pad level. Like we talked about every week, offensively, we've got to stay on schedule and not turn the ball over.”
Fortune says one of the goals this week is to play complementary football as the offense played its best game of the season against Montwood, but the Bulldog defense struggled to slow down a Rams offense that put up 419 total yards and scored 35 points.
“We’ve got to work on putting it all together, just playing great offense, playing great defense, working together with complementary football,” Fortune said. “We're getting closer. We're getting closer to that every week, and we’ve just got to keep working towards that as we get into closer and closer district to district play.”
BULLDOG BITES
– Six different Bulldogs scored touchdowns against Montwood.
Even some unexpected players scored late in the game after nearly a two-hour weather delay as sophomore quarterback Holt Howard had a 4-yard TD run and senior linebacker Chris Bowers intercepted a pass for a 35-yard TD return.
“Our kids did a good job staying focused and came out after the weather delay, and we kind of separated ourselves a little bit,” Fortune said. “We were able to get the ground game going and of course that opens up everything else for us. Then we were able to get some guys in like Holt getting in there and playing. He's been doing great on special teams, and he is going to be a great quarterback for us one day. We were able to see guys make plays.”
–Senior defensive back Jayden Guzman had a team-high 12 tackles against Montwood, followed by eight tackles each from senior linebacker Lucas Ramirez, senior safety Jojo Lievens and junior safety Carson Ham. Ham had his fourth interception of the season. Ham has an interception in all four games for MHS. Guzman and senior linebacker Robert Hardin led the team with two passes defensed.

Tom’s Watch Bar, a national sports bar chain known for its immersive viewing experience and expansive menu, is getting ready to open in Inglewood at 3900 W Century Blvd.
The company’s second Los Angeles location appears to be opening at The Lum Hotel Los Angeles Stadium District, which is already home to Cork & Batter, according to a recent liquor license application. While an exact opening date has not been announced, the application suggests plans are underway. Guests can expect Tom’s signature wall-to-wall screens, a wide-ranging food and drink menu, and a game-day-focused atmosphere.
The Inglewood site would be the brand’s first location outside of Downtown Los Angeles, where it currently operates at 1011 S. Figueroa St., near Crypto.com Arena. The sports bar is renowned for its 360-degree viewing environments, featuring over 180 screens, oversized stadium displays, and programming that includes “every game, every day.”
Founded in Denver, Tom’s Watch Bar has expanded to over a dozen major markets across the U.S., including Las Vegas, Phoenix, Orlando, Houston, and Washington, D.C. The brand often targets entertainment and sports hubs, aligning its concept with high-foot-traffic areas near stadiums and arenas.
Menu highlights include pickle-brined chicken tenders, birria mac and cheese, butter-poached lobster and shrimp tacos, and poke bowls. The restaurant also offers dietary options such as vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free items, along with a full bar featuring specialty cocktails, mocktails, beer, and wine.
The upcoming Inglewood location positions Tom’s Watch Bar in proximity to SoFi Stadium, YouTube Theater, and Kia Forum, likely aiming to attract sports fans and concertgoers. Based on public records, the addition would further solidify The Lum Hotel’s emerging status as a dining and entertainment destination.
