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!

Steve impressed me immediately with how quickly he responded and was able to provide support. He really took the time to understand and address my concerns, asking great questions to get to know my mother so the team could provide the best care in ways that were comfortable for her. PSW’s Jennifer and Rose were both great fits for my mom, really connecting with her. Each morning I received an update on how the night went – these gave me assurance, and also helped me understand how to better communicate with my mother, so we can spending time together again instead of me always focusing on taking care of things.”
“I want to say how amazing our experience with Always Best Care has been. The PSWs that took care of my mother were wonderful with her: caring, patient and treated her with compassion and dignity. The service from the company was flexible, organized, accomodating and their focus was on our needs, not what worked for them. If we ever needed this service again, I would not hesitate to call them. Thank you to all of you for taking care of her.”
“Steve Kelly from Always Best Care is truly exceptional. I’ve seen firsthand how much knowledge he brings to families navigating dementia and Alzheimer’s — including my own, with a mother-in-law who’s affected. His breadth of knowledge, the depth of understanding, the tools he offers, and the support he provides are incredible. What stands out most is Steve himself: compassionate, friendly, and genuinely invested in helping people feel supported during an overwhelming time. If you ever need guidance with senior care or dementia-related challenges, Steve is someone you can trust completely. Jacquie Manore”

“Right from the beginning I knew Always Best Care was the right choice to help support my mother for post-surgery care for her hip-replacement. From my initial phone conversation followed by in-person consultation, Coree the Executive Director was outstanding. She was professional, supportive, attentive and reassuring, taking time to answer our questions. As my mom’s needs changed, Coree was easily accessible and flexible in accommodating scheduling requests. Not to mention she would call to check up on my mom to see how she was progressing.Thank you to Coree and the PSW team at Always Best Care for being reliable, empathetic and caring. We will definitely reach out again when needed.”
“My mom had a fall and broke both wrists. After being released from respite care Coree and her staff from ABC came highly recommended. Mom’s home care was amazing, the staff were so kind and attentive to her needs. When it was time to reduce the number of weekly visits she was accommodated immediately. I can’t thank them enough for their ongoing communication with us. It was also a very emotional time, from being totally independent to all of the sudden needing assistance. My mom said to me on several occasions ‘the PSWs treated me with dignity and kindness, they were like friends’. I would highly recommend their services. It gave our family peace of mind knowing mom was being so well looked after and we noticed how her spirits improved along with her recovery.”
“We have used Always Best Care for almost a year and the service is wonderful. Made my elderly mother feel so comfortable and enjoyed the company immensely. Thank you for being so caring!”

They are also very flexible with cancellation requests last minute service requests and overall scheduling. Our most valued aspect of this service is having the same two nurses on a consistent basis, we have come to know them well and trust them in our home. We would recommend ABC without reservations to anyone looking for this type of service. Thank you to Steve, Coree and the rest of the team, you have made our life challenges a little easier to manage.”
