What drives our passion for expert care services
To work as a united team providing the best senior care in the world, with the broadest range of services, and the most loving and consistent care anywhere
To be the leader in compassionate senior care
We are committed to providing you with the best care for your specific needs
In the mid-1990’s, just outside of Sacramento, California, Michael Newman felt frustrated by the lack of resources for seniors in his community. An owner and operator of facilities for seniors, he saw many seniors and their loved ones arrive at his facilities confused and overwhelmed after trying to find the right assisted living community. This frustration eventually shaped his vision: To create a company that would serve seniors in the community by providing trusted care, compassionate support, and professional advice.
In 1996, Michael acted on his vision and founded Always Best Care. Since that time, Always Best Care has become one of the nation’s leading providers of non-medical in-home care, senior living referral services and home health care. Always Best Care was formed with the belief and agenda of taking the burden off of the families’ shoulders and putting it on our own. People with passion have made Always Best Care what it is today. Although times may change, our foundation never will.
Michael Newman believes that a successful senior care company is built on successful relationships at every level, in all directions. The things that make every relationship work make business relationships work too – caring, trust, respect, and communication. These are the values that guide our relationships with our clients, franchisees, employees, vendors, our community, and everyone we touch. Caring relationships are the foundation of our work – a sincere concern for the betterment of life that goes beyond just doing what is required, but doing the most we can for the seniors entrusted to our care.
Always Best Care began franchising in 2007 and today provides services through a network of more than 225 franchised territories across the United States and Canada.
Since 1996, Always Best Care has helped thousands of families with non-medical in-home care and assisted living referral services. In select markets we’ve also added skilled home care for clients that suffer from illness or injury.
Our passion for helping people maintain a safe, independent and dignified lifestyle represents the strong foundation of Always Best Care. Every client receives extraordinary care in an inspiring environment with caring and compassionate people. Our Care Coordinators have worked with thousands of seniors across the country, and we’re always ready to help you!
Our vision:
The Always Best Care resources include an extensive library to help you make better informed decisions on senior care and more. Our vision is to work as a united TEAM providing the best senior care in the world – with the broadest range of services, and the most loving and consistent care anywhere.

“I could not be happier with this service. I schedule care in 15 minute or 30 minute visits for 6 visits a day. They make sure that my 96 year old mother takes her meds, walks to meals, they deliver her meals when she is too tired to walk, they water her plants, bathe her, they will help in anyway to provide the best care. Shawn Cothran, the owner, made a personal visit to her room to make sure she had all that she needs. The caregivers; Vera, Jackie, Toni, Elizabeth and many others could not be better. I highly recommend this service.”

“ABC caregivers took care of my 93 yr old father from when he came out of the hospital until he passed away 8 months later.

He would be happy to see their smiling faces. They were also very accommodating for schedule and other changes. I would highly recommend them!”

“Always Best care has provided excellent care services for our 45 yr old daughter for three months. The caregivers are professional, tender hearted, and have been a great blessing to the whole family. We are very grateful for the entire team!!”
“Oh my goodness! I was at the very bottom of my rope with no where to turn. Almost overnight, my mom went from being totally independent to needing assisted living, and I didn’t know where or how to even start. The hospital was breathing down my neck to get her out of there, and I had nowhere to take her. I couldn’t provide the care she needed at home. Then a friend sent me a copy of Shawn Cothran’s business card. She said he could help. Shawn called me when I was at my lowest point. He offered me hope with the possibility of placement the same day or next for my mom. By that afternoon, we had signed a contract and placed a bed in mom’s new home. The next day, she moved in to a very nice, beautiful and caring community. I will be forever grateful to Always Best Care Senior Services and Shawn!!”
“Our family has had very good caregivers for our elderly family member suffering from dementia. Josie and Rhonda have been very caring and therapeutic with their daily interactions, and are helping our family member live best most independent life in own home as possible. The office staff at ABC has been clear in their communication with family and check in frequently. We feel like we can breath easier and trust our family member is in good, caring hands”
“Always Best Care was recommended to me by a friend. I worked with Paige Van Lenten and she is simply the best. During a very, very difficult time, she was really there for me, i never felt like i was only a client. Paige went above and beyond to help me during this time. I can not recommend Always Best Care highly enough. So grateful for having them in my corner.”
“Nurses aide care my elderly parent receives is excellent. Aides all well trained, caring, professional, and “go the extra mile”. Aides arrive as scheduled and maintain very good communication with the family. Owner goes out of her way to respond to requests in timely fashion. We recommend this agency strongly to friends who have parents who need care. What a blessing ABC has been to our parent and entire family. A model of what quality care looks like!”
“Always Best went above and beyond to help us navigate a family crisis, and we literally could not have done it without them. Everyone we worked with was caring, patient and responsive.”
“Great people to work with!”
“My mom was diagnosed with dementia more than 4 years ago. She functioned well at first but as time went on, she needed some help. She was still living in her home and had the ladies of Always Best Care there twice a day to get her out of the house or to help with reminders or daily living. Once it became clear that she needed more assistance, I moved mom to an assisted living facility where she had a small apartment and could still be independent. That move happened almost two years ago. I kept my sweet ABC ladies and they still come in for a few hours to keep mom active. Over the last two years, I have seen many of the sweet older people at the assisted living facility pass on or move to memory care. My mom has sat with 8 ladies at the same table for most of the time she has been there. Mom and one other lady are the only two who are still in assisted living. I credit that with mom’s tenacious spirit and the sweet ladies with ABC. They have mom knitting, exercising, walking, working puzzles and playing the piano. All of the ladies have made a huge difference in mom’s life. Now, the sweet ladies include the ladies behind the scenes at ABC. Stephanie has always been an ear for me and supportive of my care plan for mom. Hannah, and now Toni, always act quickly for me when I need a change in schedule or need more help. Toni is encouraging and very easy to work with. I cannot thank ABC enough in all that they do for me and my mom.”
“Have worked with Always Best Care for a year now. It’s a conducive environment to work. No discrimination.”
“Great people to work with!”
