About Us

We are driven by our mantra “You Deserve Great Care©.”

Our clients have made great contributions to their families and society throughout their lives, and they deserve the best. Our goal is to provide a great care experience that enables our clients to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes without sacrificing their independence or dignity. They deserve no less!

Why I Started A Better Living Home Care Agency

The health care system has pushed many more responsibilities onto patients, calling it “patient directed care”, that most have difficulty managing.  It wasn’t long too long ago that if you were going to the hospital you would be admitted, prepped for your procedure or treatment, recover, then go home.  Those days are gone forever.  Jay Bloodsworth, Co Owner

Now, you have to prepare for your admission on your own at home.  The procedure or treatment is administered and the facility discharges you as fast as they can.  There is very little recovery done in facilities.  You have to preside over your own recovery in your own home.  Many patients are discharged who are unable to cope with their self-care responsibilities.  Having worked as a hospital administrator, physician practice manager, and a large home care enterprise I have a unique knowledge of the health care “system” and help our clients navigate through the many challenges they face so they may recover and live safely at home.

A Better Living Home Care Agency opened its first office in Sacramento, CA to serve the four counties of Greater Sacramento in December of 2000, and was welcomed as a breath of fresh air by the eldercare community. Our personal and professional understanding of client and family needs, combined with our client-centered approach to in home care was unique and refreshing. In August, 2001 a second office in Concord, CA was opened in response to the needs of the eldercare community of the East San Francisco Bay Area.

What Makes Our Home Care Services Unique?

First, our experienced seasoned staff of professionals takes the time to understand the situation and challenges each client and their families are facing. While discussing your situation we complete a comprehensive care assessment. Then we determine which caregiver from our large community of care providers is best suited to each client and their family. A Better Living Home Care Agency excels in matching the most compatible and well-suited caregivers with clients. We feel so strongly about finding the right caregivers and senior helpers for clients that we guarantee compatibility. If a client is not satisfied with a caregiver, just ask us and we’ll provide a new caregiver within two business days, usually sooner than that.

Providing a highly compatible, qualified caregiver or senior helper is only the first ingredient to a great care experience. The second ingredient is to allow the client, their family and the caregiver to develop strong, caring, trusting relationships. We realized long ago that no agency can micromanage the complex relationship between clients, families, and their caregivers. In our client-centered approach the clients, their families, and the caregivers work together to define the roles and responsibilities around the client’s needs.

The third, and final ingredient to a great care experience is our care coordinators and supporting office staff. They are knowledgeable, experienced, considerate, and professional. They strive to exceed our clients’ expectations in every way. Whether you need a temporary or permanent caregiver or need help with your insurance, they really do go the “extra mile” to provide the best possible service. Personalized, superior customer service and friendly, courteous and informative answers to your questions are the hallmarks of our service.

Jay Bloodsworth , MA, MBA With over 25 years’ experience as a health care executive, he founded A Better Living Home Care Agency in late 2000, “at the turn of the century” as he says. “As an executive of one of the largest corporate home care agencies in California, I saw that bigger was not better when it comes to personal care, so I started A Better Living.
