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.
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 Paramount, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.
Home Care Services
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. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

“I feel incredibly lucky to have found Always Best Care South Bay. We used a different agency when my father needed care, so I know firsthand how much agencies can vary. The difference has been night and day. Everyone at Always Best Care makes me feel like my mom and our family truly matter. Our social worker is absolutely wonderful. She is caring, trustworthy, responsive, and always willing to work with me. Most importantly, she makes me feel confident that my mom is being looked after by someone who genuinely cares about her well-being. We have also been so impressed with every caregiver they have sent. Each one has been a great match for my mom, and it's obvious that they put thought and care into pairing caregivers with clients. The caregivers are kind, dependable, and treat my mom with patience and respect. Having a loved one with Alzheimer's can be stressful and emotional, but Always Best Care has given me something priceless: peace of mind. I truly feel that my mother is in the best possible hands. I trust this team completely, and I am so grateful for the compassion, professionalism, and support they provide every day. I highly recommend Always Best Care South Bay to any family looking for quality care for a loved one.”
“I was desperately trying to find a spot for my mom here in the south bay and feeling so lost. I was referred to Colin at Always Best Care and he had a location scheduled for me within an hour. The property is amazing and we love the care my mom receives. Colin was a hero, I appreciate him so much!”
“We have always been completely satisfied with the professional and high-quality personnel and services provided by Always Best Care. The caregivers they assign us learn quickly and are very attentive to our specific case by applying and adapting their skills as required. They have met our needs without fail, and we look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.”
“I am the General Manger at Always Best Care and have been with the company for over five years. This company has changed my life- the lives of countless clients, caregivers, and employees. It’s a great, caring organization that truly puts people first, and I am proud to be part of a team that embodies that spirit daily. What stands out? Transformative, compassionate care that keeps families at ease. A clear dedication to dignity, safety, and excellence! This role has empowered me to feel truly accomplished and successful every day. If you are seeking meaningful compassionate care or a rewarding place to work, Always Best Care is the answer.”
“I have never been disappointed in the quality of the care, the professionalism and the compassion of Always Best Care. Our family has been clients for both my grandmother and mother for nearly 3 years. We are beyond grateful for the care provided by the caregivers, the counsel provided by Dr. Hart and our care manager Julia. This agency is organized, professional and compassionate. 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 can't speak highly enough of Dr. David Hart, he is a treasure. He is knowledgeable, empathetic and has supported me getting through many rough patch!”
“Dr. Hart has been volunteering his time and expertise for many years for our participants at Cancer Support Community South Bay. We are grateful to have such a dedicated and dynamic expert to empower, support, and educate our participants on a wide array of topics! He does a great job of connecting with our participants while sharing about difficult topics in a clear and understandable way. Thank you Dave!”
“I, Gary GOERINGER, Found the services and counseling invaluable in caring for my husband,, Bill schwartz, In his last days. I was given. Much needed coping skills.Oz and re assurance that I was doing the right thing For his best interest. They were always there when I reached out to them. Their professionalism and caring was beyond expectations. I continue to reach out and they are always available . The air services are beyond reproach.. I would recommend them to anyone who is in need of their services.”
“We have had the privilege and fortunate opportunity to participate in a support group led by Dr. David Hart of Always Best Care. He has become our most trusted counselor and advisor and friend, and we trust, value and appreciate the kindness, wisdom and support he offers each and every session.”
“I have Been working with always best care for more than 10 years. I have been impressed with the quality of their staff and caregivers. They have gone above and beyond for my patient s. I highly recommend them”
“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.”

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!!”

“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.
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. 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 Paramount, 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 Paramount, 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.
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 Paramount, 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.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has so far successfully fought to block the $110 billion merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery.
A federal judge has already paused the deal once, with the Writers Guild of America pressing its own case on the same schedule. Bonta’s coalition of a dozen states argues forcefully that combining two of Hollywood’s five major studios and two of its five major cable programmers would hand the merged company control of roughly a third of theatrical film and basic cable programming nationwide.
I hope the state wins. But mergers this large rarely end as clean courtroom victories. Cases settle. Judges narrow the relief they grant. Companies restructure their offers. Paramount has already shown it’s willing to negotiate delay after delay to keep the deal alive.
So it’s worth asking now: What should California demand if some version of this merger goes through?
The remedies under discussion so far — divestitures, licensing conditions, content firewalls — are the standard antitrust toolkit. But they’re subject to litigation risk and can be hard to monitor. There’s a governance option that has gotten too little attention: restructuring the merged company’s board.
If this litigation ends in a settlement, a consent decree or a court order allowing some version of the deal to close, California should insist the surviving company’s board include meaningful voting blocs — not advisory seats, not observer status, but real votes. The two groups: labor and workforce representatives drawn from the unions whose members write, produce and support this content, and public-interest representatives who can speak for California viewers, readers and communities whose access to independent journalism narrows every time the industry consolidates.
Here’s the logic: A dominant firm doesn’t just raise prices. It can suppress wages, worsen work conditions and restrict viewpoints reaching the public because workers and audiences have fewer places to go. These are effects which may not show up in a textbook antitrust analysis, but which are exactly the harms the state’s lawsuit has already spotlighted. Bonta’s own filings have raised alarm about fewer journalists keeping us informed and about the deal’s implications for CNN and CBS News.
Board seats with genuine voting power would give the people most exposed to this merger’s downside an ongoing, structural check on decisions about layoffs, commissioning choices and the diversity of what gets made and reported — rather than a condition that expires the moment regulators stop watching.
It also represents a lighter touch than more traditional remedies. A full divestiture is a blunt instrument often resulting in mini-monopolies. Embedding labor and public-interest voices in governance preserves whatever legitimate efficiencies a deal might offer while making sure the people it puts at risk have a permanent voice in later decisions. And it has precedents in stakeholder board arrangements used elsewhere in the U.S. and abroad.
This is an unconventional remedy for an antitrust case, but the harms here are unconventional: A deal fusing two major news organizations and much of the remaining scripted-television market outlasts any single ruling.
Bonta has earned credibility by fighting this deal in court rather than settling for half-measures. He should keep governance reform in his toolkit for whatever comes next, whether it’s a court win, a settlement or a modified deal that comes back across his desk.

UPDATED with news conference over: California Attorney General Rob Bonta has just wrapped a news conference where he revealed details of the settlement agreement between Paramount and 12 state attorneys general over the pending $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.Bonta has just arrived and the newser is underway.
Under the agreement, Bonta announced that Paramount is legally required to distribute at least 30 movies in theaters annually and will face a financial penalty if it fails to do so.
The company also committed to spending an additional $1.5 billion on film production over the next five years, with a guaranteed increase in the proportion of movies produced within the U.S., specifically benefiting Hollywood, according to Bonta.
Additionally, Paramount agreed to establish an independent board of journalists to oversee the newsrooms of CNN and CBS News to preserve editorial integrity and prevent consolidated corporate bias, Bonta said.
The road to a resolution has been fraught. Bonta abruptly canceled a negotiation session with Paramount in late August after potential deal terms leaked. Talks restarted but tensions mounted over the nearing October 1 deadline for a $7 million a day ticking fee to WBD shareholders as the merger remained on hold.
Tensions rose as Paramount CEO David Ellison threatened to move Paramount out of California if the state didn’t ditch its effort to block the pending merger.
Four of the 12 attorneys general that took the David Ellison-run company to federal court recently broke with the Bonta-led faction that wanted to put the dispute to rest, at least for the time being. Along with the Golden State, the blue state coalition that sued Paramount and WBD back on July 13 is made up of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Washington.
Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery announced in February a formal agreement to merge. It came after WBD jilted Netflix, saying it received a Superior Proposal from the David Ellison company.
The Paramount-WBD suit was set for trial in March.

Paramount and California Attorney General Rob Bonta will sit down for two straight days at the end of October to explore a deal settling the state’s lawsuit challenging the studio’s $111 billion bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Hixson told both sides on Friday to tell him the specific dates for the settlement conference by next Tuesday. The directive was issued after a hearing to schedule the talks, which will include the Writers Guild of America.
Lawyers for Paramount and California are “ordered to meet and confer regarding scheduling” and inform his clerk “by close of business 9/15/2026 regarding the two consecutive days in the end of October that work for an in-person settlement conference beginning at 10:00 AM,” reads the note.
The meeting will be introductory, meaning there’s no guarantee it’ll be substantive. Still, it could move the needle on resolving the case before a trial next year as both sides seemingly refuse to budge on their positions relating to what a settlement could look like.
Bonta has maintained he’ll only accept structural remedies, which typically involve companies selling off parts of the combined business. So far, Paramount has only offered behavioral concessions, including a pledge to release at least 30 movies with 45-day theatrical windows.
Movement on settlement talks have been slow to nonexistent. Bonta last month canceled a meeting with Paramount scheduled for the following day, accusing the studio’s representatives of acting in bad faith by leaking and misrepresenting details of a recent meeting they held.
At the time, Paramount denied the accusations and said the studio didn’t share confidential information. It stressed that it’s prepared to enter deal discussions.
The settlement conference will take place nearly a month after the so-called $7 million-per-day ticking fee starts accruing. Paramount has threatened to leave California, with Gov. Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Xavier Becerra expressing a preference to settle the case.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has revealed terms of a settlement with Paramount allowing it to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, stressing that the agreement is “not a blessing” of the mega-merger.
Speaking at a news conference Monday, Bonta detailed a list of items to which Paramount is committed. The list ranges from stepped-up film production in the U.S., an editorial oversight board for CNN and CBS News, commitments to theatrical releases and more. Not on the list, surprisingly, were any structural remedies. Repeatedly, Bonta has emphasized that only structural, not behavioral, remedies would be deemed acceptable by the AGs.
The closest thing to a structural remedy is a requirement in the consent decree that the companies negotiate pay-TV deals as separate companies. If they fail to adhere to that provision during the 5-year span of the agreement, they can be forced to sell off cable networks as punishment.
California and 11 other states sued in July to block the deal on antitrust grounds, as did the Writers Guild of America. The agreement announced Monday addresses both suits and removes the final hurdle for Paramount as it looks to close the $111 billion transaction, which will transform Hollywood and join together two century-old studio operations.
“This settlement is not a vote of support for this merger,” Bonta said. “It is not a blessing for the broader merger … which doesn’t serve the economy or consumers well.” Later, the official added more bluntly, “I don’t think these companies should merge.” He noted several high-profile transactions his office has thwarted, including the merger of supermarket chains Kroger and Albertsons and airlines Spirit and JetBlue.
Outweighing that sentiment, he added, was the conviction that he works for the people of California and had an obligation to help their situation. “I’d rather resolve the case in the boardroom rather than the courtroom, and that’s what happened here,” he said.
The combined company, which Bonta said currently produces just 5% of its projects in the U.S., has pledged to spend $1.5 billion more over five years on shoots in the U.S. It will raise the share of domestic production to 20% if the U.S. passes an uncapped federal tax incentive plan for film and TV production, and if California or New York pass uncapped state tax plans the number would hit 40%.
Mirroring oft-repeated promises by Paramount CEO David Ellison in recent months, the company has agreed to produce 30 theatrical releases in the first two years, with that number rising to 32 films over the next three years.
Bonta called the arrangement “the opposite of Disney-Fox,” and a framework that “locks in a massive upside.” Since the Disney-Fox deal closed in 2018, as many Paramount-WBD deal opponents have noted, the film output and workforce at 20th Century Studios has declined markedly.
At least four of the films must be independent films and 20% must be blockbusters. (The former was left undefined, while the latter was specified as films costing at least $50 million.)
Paramount must also establish a $5 million independent film fund and pay $9.5M annually for workforce training. It also will establish a news editorial independence board “to assure independent fact-based reporting” at CNN, Bonta said. Recent overtures to Donald Trump by Ellison and his father, billionaire Larry Ellison, have raised concerns that the extensive makeover of CBS News and signature shows like 60 Minutes would be replicated at CNN – or even that the two would be completely melded together.
While the settlement provides some influx of funding and support for the entertainment industry in California, preserves two fabled Hollywood lots and prevents Paramount from making good on threats to leave the state, the ultimate impact on jobs remains unclear.
The company has promised to deliver $6 billion in cost savings from the merger, which is likely to entail significant layoffs. A study by the L.A. County Economic Development Corp. estimates that at least 4,000 jobs could be lost – though there have been mounting worries about the limbo state persisting given the industry’s many challenges. A trial in the antitrust case had been set for March 2027, but California Gov. Gavin Newsom, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, presumptive Newsom successor Xavier Becerra, as well as Hollywood unions, major exhibitors, media CEOs and other have publicly called for a settlement.
Bonta’s comments represent only the states’ part of the story. Despite the specifics offered up by the attorney general, there are many details to be filled in on the corporate side of the deal. The same company will find itself with two studios, two large-scale news operations and two general entertainment streaming services, among other assets, and an extensive org chart to overhaul. It is expected that the deal will formally close within the next couple of days, especially given that Paramount will owe a $7-million-a-day “ticking fee” starting October 1.

Paramount’s CEO David Ellison is threatening to leave California as it fights for its $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.
Sources tell Deadline that Paramount executives told the offices of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Attorney General Rob Bonta that they’re planning to leave the Golden State.
The mayor’s office says she’s focused on protecting L.A. jobs including those in the entertainment industry.
“Creating a film-friendly environment is our first and foremost priority,” said Steven Kang, Bass’ liason with the film industry to Variety. “We’re hoping they don’t leave. We’re hoping all sides are speaking to one another. This is an issue between the attorney general and Paramount. All we can do is encourage discussions among all parties.”
In the meantime, Bonta’s office claimed that Paramount has made this claim before adding that the state will continue to enforce the law and remains open to good faith talks.
“We cannot comment on a company’s plans,” Bonta’s office told Variety. “It’s no secret that Paramount has been making this threat, despite its alleged commitment to California and Hollywood. What Paramount decides to do is Paramount’s choice alone. We’ll continue to apply the law without fear or favor and continue to be open to coming to the table for good faith discussions.”
Back in August, Ellison told Paramount’s brass that the company would begin leaving California on Oct. 1 if Bonta does not agree to settlement talks, Puck reported. That’s when Paramount would begin racking up millions in “ticking fees” of $7 million each day, payable to Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders if the deal eventually closes.
Those fees could surpass $1 billion by the time the trial starts March 2. A California federal judge temporarily blocked the merger last month.
In July, Paramount agreed to press the brakes on its merger with Warner Bros. Discovery until next June at the latest. This after a judge ordered a temporary restraining order to review an argument made by 12 states, including California, that are against the acquisition. The other states joining the Golden State in this lawsuit are Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Washington.
Bonta requested that the merger not close until after a judge fully evaluated their claims. When the two media giants refused, the states filed a restraining order.
A court-supervised settlement is set to take place on the matter on Oct. 14-15.
When KTLA 5 reached out to Paramount about the possible move, the company responded by saying “no comment.”
