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.

“I live in Texas and my Mom was in California, so communication was key to me in knowing how my Mom was doing, and what she might need. ABC did all the right things; from setting up an online portal that would allow my siblings and I to see what each caregiver was doing during her in-home care, to billing questions, medication requirements, etc. Everything was transparent, and that's so important when it comes to caring for an older family member. Their office staff is outstanding as well. From billing questions to change requests, they never made me feel like I was asking for too much, or that they didn't have time to make sure my Mom was always taken care of. Always Best Care took the time and effort to make sure my mom was taken care of in the best possible way, and for that I will be eternally grateful. Highly recommend their service!”

“My nickname for Bill is Clarence the Angel from "It's a Wonderful Life". At the worst possible time, in the middle of a pandemic, my elderly mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. I had 1 week to find a place for her to live and set up hospice care. In addition I had no other family support. That is when I found Bill/ABC. What a joy! He listened to my needs, concerns, budget and general stress all with great patience and concern. He guided me through the process, set up home tours and advised me what to look for while interviewing prospects. Within 1 week we were able to place my mom in a wonderful home where she can spend her remaining days happy and cared for. The relief I feel cannot be measured and I will be forever grateful to Bill and team.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in dublin, 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.

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. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

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

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

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

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

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

With the help of elderly care in dublin, 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 Dublin, 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 Dublin, 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 dublin, 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 Dublin, 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 Dublin, 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.

Home Care Dublin, 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.

 In-Home Care Dublin, CA

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

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

lm-right-arrow

A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive

lm-right-arrow
02

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.

At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in dublin, CA 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.

U.S. News & World Report released its 2026–2027 Best Places to Live in the U.S. rankings, and a small East Bay city has quietly taken the crown as the top place to live in California: Dublin.

Just 40 minutes from San Francisco, Dublin made a strong appearance in the report thanks to its mix of high incomes, robust job market, and suburban lifestyle.

Here’s a closer look.

Dublin: the top California pick

Dublin lands at the top of the ranking for California thanks to its connection to the Bay Area economy while offering a more residential feel than San Francisco or Oakland.

With about 71,400 residents and a median age of 37, Dublin’s community is family– and career-focused. The median household income of $211,868 and the unemployment rate of just 3.4% are both far stronger than national averages. That said, the median home value is $1,283,390, resulting in a low Value Index score of 0.9 out of 10.

With an average commute of around 31 minutes and regional access via both I-580 and BART, Dublin also stands out for being commuter-friendly for people who want Bay Area career opportunities without living in the city.

How the study ranked U.S. cities

For the 2026–2027 edition, U.S. News evaluated 250 major U.S. cities using data from sources including the U.S. Census Bureau, the FBI, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Each city received scores in four key categories: quality of life, value (housing and cost of living), job market, and desirability, which includes factors like migration trends and survey responses.

Top national spots went to cities with strong economies and relatively lower costs of living, with the top spot in the nation awarded to Carmel, Indiana. Other high-ranking cities were found in Texas, Iowa, Georgia, Alabama, and Missouri.

While Dublin ranked #1 in California, it placed #119 in the United States out of all 250 cities studied.

MAYORAL CANDIDATES

Sherry Hu (incumbent): Sherry Hu has served as mayor of Dublin since 2024, and has served on the Dublin City Council since 2020. Hu says her guiding question toward any policy is, “Will this make life better for the people who call Dublin home?” She lists her top priorities as supporting public safety, supporting community businesses, maintaining the city’s budget surplus, maintaining quality of life through investing in parks, infrastructure, and public services; maintaining high-quality public education, and improving traffic and environmental concerns.

“As your Mayor, I have focused on what families feel every day: safety, community, business vitality, and responsible financial management. Dublin has strengthened public safety, opened three new parks, welcomed over 100 new businesses, supported students and schools, expanded cultural programs, and maintained a strong budget surplus while many cities face financial pressure,” she said in a candidate statement.

Michael McCorriston has served on the Dublin City Council since 2020, and has also served as mayor in 2024, and as vice mayor in 2023.

Kiran Mohammad is a writer who listed their top priorities as thoughtful growth, public safety, transportation and mobility, supporting local businesses, using public resources responsibly, and creating neighborhoods where people feel connected to their community.

“My work in human-centered systems design starts with a simple idea: systems work better when they are designed around the people who use them. I want to bring that approach to City Hall – listening to residents, identifying where our systems create unnecessary friction, and developing practical solutions around how people actually live,” Mohammad said in a candidate statement.

CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT 2 CANDIDATES

Daniel Hor currently serves on the Dublin Unified School District’s Citizens Bond Oversight Committee and the Shamrock Hills School Parent Faculty Club, in addition to other volunteer initiatives. Hor said he wants the city to maintain its strong quality of life and welcoming atmosphere. He also said he would use his experience as an experience researcher to improve the city.

“My job is to understand people's experiences, identify what works, and use evidence to make things better for people. I'll bring that same approach to City Council: listening, asking questions, and making informed decisions - just as I've done at work for over 10 years,” he said in a candidate statement.

Steve Lorey is a retired U.S. army intelligence professional who holds a bachelor's degree in public safety administration, a master’s degree in public safety administration, and a master’s in leadership studies with an emphasis in community engagement. His top priorities include strengthening public safety, supporting a strong economy, remaining fiscally prudent, and maintaining an inclusive culture.

“As a Dublin resident in District 2, I am committed to pragmatic, people-first public service. My approach centers on connection, collaboration, and community,” he said in a candidate statement. “I will bring steady leadership, thoughtful decision-making, and a collaborative mindset focused on preserving what makes our city special while planning responsibly for its future.

Tejpreet Singh holds a Master of Laws in Business Law and a Bachelors of Law/Juris Doctorate from UCLA. He listed public safety, fiscal responsibility, traffic and infrastructure improvements, thoughtful planning, and support for local businesses, parks, and recreation as his top priorities.

“As a resident, I understand the importance of safe neighborhoods, quality parks, responsible growth, excellent public services. I believe City Hall works best when it listens to residents, is transparent in its policies, and is accountable for every taxpayer dollar,” he said in a candidate statement.

Richard Thornbury is a research chemist in biotech and parks commissioner who listed his top priorities as fiscal responsibility, public safety, and supporting housing affordability through infill and transit-oriented homebuilding. He currently chairs the Dublin Parks and Community Services Commission.

“Dublin is a safe, diverse, vibrant, and family friendly community. I am running for City Council to make sure that we sustain that high quality of life and strive to make Dublin a more affordable place to live,” he said in a statement.

CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT 4 CANDIDATES

Shivraj Singh is a business executive who listed enhancing public safety, supporting high-quality public schools and local businesses, maintaining attractive parks and neighborhoods, and planning responsibly for the future as his top priorities.

“Dublin has become one of California's most vibrant communities because of the dedication of its residents and civic leaders. I want to contribute by serving our community with honesty, accountability, and hard work,” he said in a candidate statement.

Kashef Qaadri (incumbent): Qaadri was elected to the Dublin City Council in 2022, and serves on a number of regional and county committees. He listed “thoughtful growth and development,” investing in smart infrastructure that eases traffic congestion, and supporting public safety, parks, and programming that supports families, seniors, and youth.
