More News From Always Best Care Senior Services

Area Developer:

42-year-old Michael Newman saw a hole in the complex web of senior care services. He filled that void and in doing so created a business model that has no match in the industry for both the services it provides seniors and their families and the opportunity it offers prospective investors.

Mr. Newman is the founder and president of Always Best Care Senior Services, a franchise concept that provides non-medical In-Home Care, Assisted Living Placement Services and Personal Emergency Response Systems to seniors. Newman entered the industry in 1996 when he opened 4 small residential care facilities in Sacramento.

Time after time, Mr.Newman would see seniors and their families arrive at his facilities confused and overwhelmed by the process of finding a facility that best fit their loved one’s needs. Typically dispatched by a hospital discharge planner, case manager, social worker or doctor to find a suitable facility, they often had only a list of names from a placement service to guide them.

Realizing there was a better way, Always Best Care launched its own ‘personalized’ no-cost assisted living placement service, accompanying seniors and/or their families to various facilities, touring the facility and meeting the staff with them and helping in gathering the paperwork necessary for the senior to move into the facility that best fit their needs.

While seniors were in need of such services typically after being discharged from a hospital or nursing home, many had the capability to return home as long as they had qualified home care support. Recognizing another opportunity, Newman added non-medical in-home care services in 2000. Always Best Care rapidly grew to become the leader in senior placement services and non-medical home care within central and northern California.
