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.
However, as seniors grow older, sometimes they cannot live independently without someone by their side to provide care. Unfortunately, some 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 in the comforts or their home rather than in an assisted living community. Home care in Lodi, 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 age.

We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs.
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.

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it's 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 ages, 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 or Parkinson's or dementia.
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. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite activities and hobbies while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
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 other activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress helps reduce the risks of caregiver burnout.
When it comes to non-medical home care, 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 senior family member is in expert hands.
Unlike many senior care facilities 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 are 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 clients 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.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a unfamiliar assisted living community, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
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.
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 Lodi, 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.
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.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced 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.
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.
An assessment of your senior loved one and the environment they currently live in
An in-depth discussion of the needs of your senior loved one
Reviewing a detailed care plan that will meet your senior loved one's needs
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.

LODI, Calif. —
Managers with the state's power grid said there was a miscommunication with the Northern California Power Agency, which led to some unplanned outages for thousands during Tuesday's record-breaking heat.
"It's regrettable we did have a communication issue," said Elliot Mainzer, chief executive officer of the California Independent System Operator.
The City of Lodi shared in a Facebook post that Tuesday's load shed was "in error." Nearly 1,400 residents in several neighborhoods lost power for roughly an hour Tuesday at 6:20 pm.
Around that time, Lodi resident Rocio Contreras saw her neighbor across the street waving at her trying to get her attention.
"Our neighbor wasn't able to open her garage, so my husband had to go and help her," Contreras said. "The door was stuck and she's disabled, so that's kind of hard."
That's when Contreras found out the whole neighborhood lost power. But she thought it was odd Lodi Electric Utility didn't send a warning first.
"My son has asthma and sometimes he needs the nebulizer the machine, so I have to be alert for sure," Contreras said.
Shooting in Sacramento leaves man dead Saturday morning, police say
June Aaker's father, who is in his 80s, called her to let her know he didn't have electricity.
"I was shocked," she said. "That's a big mistake. It's not to be taken lightly."
The Northern California Power Agency said a dispatcher mistook the blackout stand-by alert from Cal ISO for the real thing.
According to Cal ISO, there are two levels of Energy Emergency Alert 3. The first is to signal to power providers to “arm firm load,” a notification that means get ready to shed load.
"If grid conditions had worsened, we would have sent another notification of an EEA 3 – Firm Load Interruption, which is the order to begin rotating power outages," said Anne Gonzalez, Cal Iso Senior Public Information Officer.
Gonzalez said after they sent the first notification, a few providers misinterpreted and started outages.
"It was unfortunate, and we regret that it happened. We have reached out to our customers and tightened up the understanding to prevent a repeat of that," she said.
Northern California Power Agency serves 700,000 customers and the outages affected six cities: Alameda, Lodi, Santa Clara (Silicon Valley Power), Palo Alto, Healdsburg, and Ukiah. It said a dispatcher thought the Cal ISO alert meant to start rolling blackouts.
"Once the outages had been initiated, our dispatcher contacted the CAISO to inform them that the curtailment action had been undertaken, and was then notified there had been a misunderstanding of the initial order," said Jane Cirrincione, NCPA assistant general manager.
NCPA general manager Randy Howard explained that the measures undertaken yesterday may have ultimately helped the state’s overly stressed grid.
“The action taken yesterday by the NCPA member while inadvertent, helped to ultimately benefit and keep the overall grid stable through the most extreme heat of the day and a record CAISO load," he said.
Still, Lodi residents said it shouldn't have happened in the first place.
"It could have been a very costly mistake. It really concerns me," said Aaker.

True wine lovers know that Lodi, California is a leading producer of some of America’s favorite grapes. But did you know that it’s also a prime destination for outdoor recreation, temperate weather, fewer crowds, and natural beauty?

Once on land, take advantage of the relatively flat terrain and comfortable weather to rent bikes from local shops like Lodi Cyclery. Both avid cyclists and casual riders will love taking a spin on routes that can challenge or are a pure breeze. Choose your route, set your course, and get some exercise while soaking up this beautiful part of California.
You can even bike through wine country, arriving at Oak Farm Vineyards, a truly gorgeous estate. Take a stroll around the grounds to see the restored white colonial home built in 1876 and surrounded by ancient oak trees. Then step into the breathtaking tasting room and ask for the estate grown Fiano.
For a little peace and tranquility, or to recharge your batteries before your next winery, visit the completely unexpected and incredibly impressive Micke Grove Japanese Garden. Dedicated by the Joaquin County residents of Japanese ancestry, this secret hideaway beckons you across its red arched bridge to meander along a babbling brook, where waterfalls splash into a koi fish pond. Follow the stepping stones around the stone lanterns that rise up out of the landscape, and stop to appreciate the maple trees bursting through the sea of lush, green landscape.
To sample a variety of grapes, belly up to the tasting bar at the eclectic Michael David Winery, which offers wine for varying tastes. Sip their popular Inkblot Petit Syrah under a covered, pond-side cabana and hear the story of how their whimsical labels were designed. Grab some lunch at the on-site farmstand Cafe & Bakery, where the locals flock for homemade pies and meat sourced from the local 4H program. If white wine is more your speed, Acquiesce Winery & Vineyards is for you. Their small batch productions of Roussanne 2020 and Grenache Blanc 20202 have won Best of Class awards, and their Clairette Blanche and double gold medal 2021 Belle Blanc are divine. Bokisch Vineyards, with hilltop views of the vines and the sunset, made an Alberiño lover out of me.

LODI — Dozens filled the Lodi Unified School District board room on Tuesday ready to fight for their school.
Some had harsh words for district officials as parents lined up in a last-ditch effort to keep them from voting to shut down Houston School in Acampo. The school has seen a dramatic drop in enrollment in recent years, putting it on the chopping block.
The board voted 7-0 to shut down Houston School in two years.
"Well, I've been going there since kindergarten. I've been going there my whole life. It's a good school," said 8th-grade student Algon Padilla.
"It's a legacy. This school is a legacy. I'm a property owner. I pay property taxes to make sure my kids go to school down the street," said parent Lisa Graci.
Graci went to Houston School and so did her children. She said shutting it down will lead to disaster, including safety and transportation problems getting kids to different schools in the area.
"I understand this is difficult," said Associate Superintendent Neil Young.
Young said larger school campuses can offer more support for students. Houston School has a near-500 student capacity but only has roughly 200 students enrolled.
"We know that is a concern of our families," Young said. "It really is more difficult at a smaller school site. This board has a fiscal responsibility as well as looking at what is best for students."
Houston School is hardly alone with schools across California battling declining enrollment. Young blames declining birth rates and the number of families living within the Houston School boundaries continuing to shrink.
Parents like Graci don't buy it, saying school officials aren't doing enough to boost enrollment and retain students.
"It's all about saving the dollar. It's every child comes first unless you can save a few bucks," said Graci.
It will be a two-year process to close Houston School with the first round of 7th and 8th graders switching to Lockeford and Millswood for the 2023-24 school year. Then, K-6th students will move to Victor the following school year.

Widespread downpours and snowfall are expected to hit Northern California this weekend, bringing with them potential flooding throughout the Central Valley.
The National Weather Service said gusty winds and heavy rain will arrive Thursday via the latest atmospheric river. An atmospheric river is a long, narrow band of tropical moisture that can transport enormous amounts of water vapor from regions near the equator to Northern California.
When atmospheric rivers move over land, they can produce intense rainfall and strong winds, and colder systems can produce significant snow at higher elevations.
According to the NWS, the Sierra Nevada Mountains could see as much as four feet of snow at elevations between 7,000 and 8,000 feet, and as much as eight feet of snow above elevations of 9,000 feet from this weekend’s system.
Increased run-off from rain and snowmelt will lead to swollen waterways in the foothills and the Central Valley, particularly on Friday, the NWS said.
The Central Valley could see as much as three inches of rain between Thursday and Sunday, the agency said.
Flooded roadways and and moderate rises on small streams, rivers and creeks are expected.
Andrea Pook, spokeswoman for East Bay Municipal Utilities District, said the agency will be monitoring both the rainfall and the snow pack on a daily basis throughout the weekend.
During the rainfall that hit the region over the last few days, Pook said EBMUD increased the release of water at Camanche Reservoir from 1,300 to 1,700 cubic feet per second.
The agency might have to increase that to between 2,500 and 3,000 cfs, depending on what happens this weekend, she said.
As of March 7, EBMUD reported the reservoir was 75% full. Pardee, upstream of Camanche, was at 89% capacity.
“We have plenty of flood control space available, which is good news,” Pook said. “But we will want to adjust our releases based on how severe the storms are this weekend.”
Tiffany Heyer, San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services director, said her department is currently working with several other entities in preparation for the storms.
Those entities include San Joaquin County Public Works, Human Services Agency, Sheriff’s Office, and cities.
“We will likely see water ponding in low-lying areas or on roadways due to rainfall amounts, so residents are encouraged to not go around barricades or drive through flooded roadways,” she said. “Residents can also sign up for alerts and get more information by visiting SJReady.org.”
Mary Campbell, spokeswoman for the City of Lodi, said public works and electric utility crews are prepared to act as needed throughout the duration of the incoming storm.
The Public Works & Electric Utility Hotline is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week during significant weather events, she said, and residents can call 209-368-5735 to report emergencies.
Use Option 2 to report roadway flooding, downed trees, or clogged storm drains, and Option 1 to report power outages.
The city’s live power outage map can be found online at www.lodi.gov/915/Power-Outage. For downed power lines or other storm-related emergencies, dial 911.
The self-serve sandbag station for Lodi residents is open at west end of Century Boulevard at Stockton Street and Salas Park, and will be available through the weekend while supplies last.
Residents are asked to bring their own shovels, but bags will be provided
The city said minor street flooding should be anticipated, and if you encounter flooded roadways, turn around and take an alternative route if possible.
“We want residents to stay safe and be prepared as we enter into another round of storms in our region this week,” she said. “We expect to see rain, high winds, and thunderstorm activity, which may result in localized flooding, road closures, and damaged trees and power lines. We encourage residents to exercise caution while driving and avoid driving through flooded streets if possible since vehicle ‘wakes’ can cause further damage.”
