Home Care In Los Angeles, CA

Home Care Los Angeles, 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 Bradbury Building 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 Los Angeles, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

The Always Best Care Difference

Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life.

“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....”

“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”

“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.”

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.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Los Angeles, 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.

 Senior Care Los Angeles, CA

Home Care Los Angeles, 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 Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar or visit Hollyhock House, 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.

 In-Home Care Los Angeles, CA

Benefits of Home Care in Los Angeles, CA

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:

Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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.


Respite Care Los Angeles, CA

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.

Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Los Angeles, CA

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:

  • Hollywood Hills Senior Living
  • Belmont Village Senior Living Westwood
  • Senior Meridian Assisted Living Facilities & Retirement Communities Los Angeles CA
  • Sakura Gardens of Los Angeles
  • Belmont Village Senior Living Hollywood Hills
  • Apex Assisted Living & Senior Care Los Angeles CA
Home Care Los Angeles, CA

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.

Jennifer Coolidge Recalls How Garrett Morris Taught Her to Be 'Grateful' for Role on 2 Broke Girls

Jennifer Coolidge praised her former costar Garrett Morris for his positive attitude on the set of 2 Broke Girls.

While speaking at the Saturday Night Live alum’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Thursday, The White Lotus star, 62, shared how Morris reminded her to be grateful for her job on the CBS sitcom, which ran for six seasons from 2011 to 2017.

“I just wanted to say that beyond all of Garrett’s accomplishment, really his true gift is as a human being. I was on this sitcom with Garrett and I wasn't very grateful,” she said of their time working together on 2 Broke Girls. “And we had to pull into the Warner Brothers lot and I parked behind Garrett and I didn't want to get out of the car, and I would wait until Garrett got out and he would come over to my side of my car door and he'd go, ‘Jennifer, how lucky are we?’ And I just thought, ‘Oh my God, here's my opposite!’”

Coolidge said Morris — who starred as diner cashier Earl Washington on the series — is “someone who’s grateful for every moment.”

“He was so grateful to be an actor, so grateful to have the job. And he would always say that. And it never occurred to me,” she said with a laugh. “I mean, I was in my own head and it was just, you set such a good example, Garrett.”

The Legally Blonde actress shared that she also appreciated his musical talents, saying, “He comes to New Orleans, he comes down to my Halloween party, and I got to see him sing with Charmaine Neville's band down in New Orleans many times. He sings the blues better than anybody. So many great performances."

She concluded her speech by telling Morris that he is “truly one of the most extraordinary people I’ve ever met.”

“You are a true gentleman, the most elegant gentleman I've ever met, and I'm so lucky to be here,” she told Morris. “I'm so lucky to speak and just tell you how much I love you, how much you mean to me, what a great friend you are, and just helping me look in the mirror and see my jaded view of something that you appreciated so much. And I really just love you for it.”

"You are the example of just… You are true class and eloquence, you’re elegant man. And I love you for that,” she added.

Coolidge played Zofia "Sophie" Kachinsky, the Polish woman who lived above Max and Caroline and owned a cleaning company.

Three potential trades for LeBron James if he wants out of Los Angeles

The clock might be ticking on the Lakers to do something with their current situation surrounding LeBron James.

Los Angeles currently sits at 24-25 and is in ninth place in the Western Conference standings heading into Thursday, one week ahead of the NBA's trade deadline. The Lakers could opt to make another late-season push for the playoffs, similar to last, as they're 4.5 games back of a top-six seed.

However, the team has been in a rut as of late, going 10-15 in its last 25 games in the near two-month span after winning the In-Season Tournament. Furthermore, James is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, with some speculating he could opt to leave Los Angeles to sign with whichever team drafts his son (Bronny James), if he opts to leave college.

James is also in the midst of another All-Star season and could, theoretically, want to play for a team with a better chance at winning a title. "First Things Firsts" panelists Nick Wright and Chris Broussard don't believe James will do that, though.

"He's always fulfilled his contract, so I don't think he goes that route," Broussard said.

However, Broussard does think the Lakers should have a conversation with James about being traded due to his free-agent status. If they opt to go that route, Wright has a few possible trade scenarios in mind.

"If LeBron wants to be traded, I don't think the team acquiring him has to give up as much as people think," Wright said. "If he goes to the Lakers and says, ‘I'd like to be traded,' that also means, ‘I'm leaving in a few months.'"

Wright listed three Eastern Conference teams as the most "viable" options for James. Here is a look at his three hypothetical trade proposals:

Knicks receive: LeBron James Lakers receive: Julius Randle, Evan Fournier, 2024 first-round pick (Mavericks, top-10 protected), 2025 first-round pick (Bucks, top-four protected)

Randle averages 24 points, 9.2 rebounds and five assists per game, and he's been named an All-Star in two of the last three seasons. But Wright believes the Knicks might have to sweeten the pot a bit due to the two seasons remaining on Randle's four-year, $117 million deal.

"The reason they have to include picks is I don't know if the Lakers are super excited about Julius Randle's contract. [Fournier's expiring contract] is in there to make the salaries work," Wright said. "But what you get is picks for when LeBron's leaving. It's something."

76ers receive: LeBron James Lakers receive: Tobias Harris, Furkan Korkmaz, 2028 first-round pick (Clippers, unprotected)

Wright believes that his 76ers' proposal for the Lakers to get James is enticing for one reason in particular.

"Korkmaz is in there to make the money work, but that's a valuable draft pick, getting the Clippers unprotected [first-round] pick in four years, because we have no idea what the Clippers are going to look like," Wright said. "The 76ers basically switch out Tobias Harris for LeBron James."

However, Broussard believes the Lakers might ask for Tyrese Maxey, which would be a no-go for the 76ers.

"If you're Philly, you're saying, ‘Well, LeBron's got Anthony Davis playing some of his best ball, and they're not even in the playoffs,'" Broussard said. "They're in the play-in. Are LeBron and [Joel] Embiid going to get us over the top? I don't know."

Herro might have the highest upside of the players Wright included in his three proposals. The 2021-22 Sixth Man of the Year is currently averaging 21.2 points per game this season. The sharpshooting 24-year-old is looking to average at least 20 points per game for the third straight season.

"You don't get any picks [from the Heat], but you get Tyler Herro under contract and Duncan Robinson's [contract] to make it work,' Wright said.

As Wright explained how all three teams are "better positioned to win a title than the Lakers are," Broussard was a bit skeptical of those trade offers.

"I didn't really like any of those for the Lakers," Broussard said. "So, I don't know if I'd do [those trades]. … If I have to take on some deals that have years on them, I don't know how I feel [about that]."

Broussard shared his own trade offer, tossing out an idea that the Warriors should trade Klay Thompson, Jonathan Kuminga and an unspecified amount of draft picks to get James.

"Klay, his dad was a Laker and there's always been thoughts of Klay playing for the Lakers at some point," Broussard said. "He's an expiring contract, so you'd get that [salary cap] room if you're the Lakers. I would do it if I'm Golden State. Why not? I think they're done with that future plan. Try to maximize Steph's time left. You bring LeBron there, I don't know what it'd look like, but it'd be fun to watch."

LOS ANGELES -- Since Jim Harbaugh accepted the Los Angeles Chargers' head-coaching job last week, he's been reaching out to several players, including Quentin Johnston, whom Harbaugh faced two years ago as the coach at Michigan in the College Football Playoff semifinal.

Johnston and TCU won that game over Michigan, 51-45, with the star receiver snagging six catches for 163 yards and one touchdown. Harbaugh will be entering a TCU-laden locker room that includes Johnston, receiver Derius Davis and quarterback Max Duggan, who were all on that Horned Frogs team that beat Harbaugh's Wolverines.

Harbaugh joked about that point in his and Johnston's first interaction, before telling the rookie his excitement about coaching him this season.

"His past experience with the 49ers and then going to college, I have no doubt in my mind that he can get that done with this team at this level once again," said Johnston, the Chargers' 2023 first-round pick. "So we've got a world of confidence with him. I've been texting back and forth with some of the players, and we're very excited to get back to work."

Harbaugh, who will have his introductory news conference Thursday, coached the 49ers from 2011-14, when his teams made three conference championships and a Super Bowl. Under Harbaugh, receiver Michael Crabtree had some of his best seasons, including career highs of 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns in 2012.

The Chargers selected Johnston with the No. 21 pick last year. He showed flashes of the potential that made him a top pick, such as a 51-yard reception in a loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 14, but Johnston's season was more bad than good as he struggled with drops (3). He finished with 38 catches for 431 yards and two touchdowns.

Johnston has acknowledged his struggles but is confident he can turn it around with Harbaugh.

"I didn't really get a chance to show who I really was and what type of player I am, but I still got the world of confidence in myself even if nobody doesn't," Johnston told ESPN. "And so, you know, going into this next season, I can't wait. Like I said, I feel like I'm due for a breakout, so I'm very excited for that."

SNL Alum Garrett Morris Celebrates Long-Hoped-for Walk of Fame Star on His 87th Birthday: 'Had to Wait a While!'

Garrett Morris's legacy as an entertainer has been cemented — the Saturday Night Live alum has been honored with a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame nearly 50 years after his first appearance as the iconic sketch comedy show's first-ever Black cast member.

"I got this news at 86 years old!" Morris tells PEOPLE with a laugh about receiving the honor on Thursday, which also happened to be his 87th birthday. "But still, whenever it comes is all right. I'm grateful."

Growing up, the New Orleans-born actor tells PEOPLE he never dreamed he'd one day be on a show like SNL. Dirt-poor, he was raised in his grandfather's Southern Baptist church where he became part of the choir at 4 years old.

When he moved to New York, he set out to be a Broadway star and eventually landed a gig with the Harry Belafonte Folk Singers that took him around the country.

He was also a playwright and was initially hired on SNL as a writer, but Morris says creator Lorne Michaels realized they needed a Black actor for some of the sketches he was writing. Morris was then tasked with finding talented and funny Black actors to bring in to audition.

"Gilda Radner and Laraine Newman, they told Lorne Michaels, 'Hey you've got Garrett bringing in these actors, but he's an actor himself,'" Morris recalls. "So he called me and offered me the job, but I told him I'd only do it on the condition that I didn't also have to be a writer."

Morris would go on to play memorable characters like the translator for the hard of hearing on "Weekend Update" and a pastor collecting money for the "White Guilt Relief Fund."

As for turning 87, Morris says that he feels pretty good.

"Except that I have to hang out with my friend Arthur ... Arthur-itis," he jokes, adding that there's only one bummer about getting older: "Being old!"
