Always Best Care has been a godsend. When I got sick I needed more care than my family could provide. The staff at the skilled nursing facility recommended Always Best Care. Bill Kammerer visited and explained how they could help me recover and stay safe and healthy. Bill is very easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable, and patient. He asked me questions, listened to my responses, suggested solutions, and developed a care plan that meets my needs perfectly. In addition, Always Best Care’s caregivers have been fantastic. They are polite, hardworking, reliable, professional, congenial, and well trained. I whole-heartedly recommend Always Best Care.

My mother reached a point in her life where she needed more attention than her continuing care community could provide. Since my brother and I live 1000's of miles away from her, the institution suggested Always Best Care and we have been incredibly grateful for that idea. Barbara, my mother's caregiver, has made a wonderful difference in the quality of her life. Her ability to create a meaningful relationship with my mother, as well as her ongoing capacity to attune to her needs and to navigate her world that is at times confusing for her in this stage of her life eases our minds regarding being so far away. Bill Kammerer himself is always available for consultation and has been extremely helpful and flexible as my mother's needs have changed over time. I cannot imagine how things may have gone without their truly caring intervention in our lives.

My parents were in a senior community that was nice but wasn’t the best fit for their needs. We asked Always Best Care to help us find alternatives that would work better. We needed a place that can provide a very high level of care, is conveniently located near us, is within budget, and has apartment floorplans large enough for both my parents. Bill has extensive knowledge of all the senior communities in the East Bay and quickly identified the places that could meet my parents’ needs. He explained each community to us, scheduled tours, accompanied us on the tours, helped us evaluate each community, provided insights and recommendations, and we ended up with a place that is a perfect fit. We couldn’t have done it without Bill’s expertise. I highly recommend Always Best Care’s service for anybody seeking senior housing options.

The caregiver we had before Always Best Care left a lot to be desired. She didn’t connect with my wife or our family and sat looking at her phone most of the time. Always Best Care provided a fantastic caregiver who is exactly what we need. What a difference. Desiree is caring and compassionate, pleasant to have in our home, has connected with my wife, is attentive to her needs, and helps with all sorts of chores and work when she’s not busy providing care. She helps our kids before I get home from work and has even driven about 80 miles to UCSF and back to get care instructions in-person from my wife’s doctors and nurses. You should definitely use Always Best Care.

My mother had a fall, went to the hospital for a hip replacement and then to a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation. We realized that my father would not be able to care for her at home so the nursing facility suggested we contact Always Best Care to help us find a care home for my mother. Bill met with us and learned all about my mother’s needs and our families desires. He then personally toured us through a variety of potentially matching care home options. With Bill’s guidance we became well prepared and informed and developed the confidence to select a solution. Bill took the stress out of what could have been a very stressful experience. My father and our family are delighted with our mother’s new home. Thanks to Bill and Always Best Care for leading us to a great solution for my mother and for our family.
