Home Care In Chelsea, AL

Home Care Chelsea, AL

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, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting Chelsea Historic District and District Extension Marker in Chelsea, AL gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many 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 far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Chelsea, AL is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

The Always Best Care Difference

Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

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. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

TESTIMONIALS

“All of the caregivers we encountered through Always Best Care in Birmingham were top-notch. Every single one brought something of value, even if it was something that seemed relatively small, to help ease my mom's pain and increase her comfort during her final days battling cancer: Claudia, Nessa, Tomi, Veronica, Virginia, Tiffanie, Kristin, Lateria, Mary, Pat, Kristhyne, and Tiera. I truly don't know what we would have done without them. Thank you to each of them for being of such profound service during a time when our family really needed help.”

“Our new elder-care specialist is Ruby Carroll, whom my mother adores. She says Ruby has been an exceptional companion. She's observant of my mother's needs, willing to do anything requested of her, and keeps on-task to ensure difficult chores are done well. My mother says she couldn't be more delightful to be with. We're grateful for Ruby Carroll's regular help. Thank you! Yasmin Walls is our elder-care specialist. My mother confides that she is "wonderful beyond words." Today, while she was assisting my mother with checking out at our local grocery, Yasmin reminded Mom that her debit card was at home in the kitchen. Yasmin quickly zipped back to the house, grabbed the card, and returned to my mother, who made her purchase. Yasmin is enormously helpful and resourceful. We are truly grateful.”

“We are so incredibly grateful for the exceptional care that Grace Slaughter has provided for our 92-year-old grandmother. Grace is not just a caregiver; she has truly become a cherished companion and an essential part of our family. Grace's warmth and professionalism were clear from day one. She approaches every day with a positive attitude that lifts my grandmother's spirits, and she treats her with the utmost dignity and respect. One of the small things that means so much is the time they spend together, like when they share a laugh while watching Steve Harvey. It’s these moments of genuine connection that highlight how much she truly cares. Beyond her caring nature, Grace is also wonderfully reliable and proactive. She handles everything with ease ensuring the house is safe and comfortable and we have complete peace of mind knowing our grandmother is in her hands.”

I work the night shift, and they have been pretty accommodating with contacting me during the hours I am usually able to talk or get back to me whenever I leave a message. My grandmother is almost 95; she is stubborn, set in her ways, and has dementia. Sometimes it's hard to get her moving, out of bed, or to do anything. The caregiver is very patient with her. Overall, she likes having a different companion than the family member who was staying there. Having someone different in the house has been a lot better.” M. Watkins, granddaughter of the client.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Chelsea, AL?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is 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.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

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.

lm-check

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 gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Home Care Chelsea, AL
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

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 nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Station 31 Kitchen or visit Chelsea Clocktower, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, 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.

 In-Home Care Chelsea, AL

Benefits of Home Care in Chelsea, AL

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.

Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

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 - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in Chelsea, AL, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.

Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.

Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.

For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.

More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.

In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.

With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.

 Elderly Care Chelsea, AL

Affordable Care

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. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

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:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your AL's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care Chelsea, AL

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

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 Chelsea, AL 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.

Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.

Unlike some senior care companies, 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.

Assisted Living Referral Services

While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.

Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.


Respite Care Chelsea, AL

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.

Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Chelsea, AL

At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.

Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.

Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:

  • City of Chelsea Senior Center
  • Best Assisted Living Pelham
  • Chelsea Retirement Community
  • Silver Maples of Chelsea
  • Brio Living Services
  • Meadow View Assisted Living
Home Care Chelsea, AL

For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

CHELSEA – A Chick-fil-A has been confirmed to be officially coming to the city of Chelsea within the coming years according to Chelsea Mayor Tony Picklesimer.

During Picklesimer’s final State of the City address at the Chelsea Community Center on Tuesday, Oct. 7, Picklesimer discussed the major happenings to do with the city’s retail landscape, within which he addressed the Chelsea Plaza.

“The business incentive package for Chelsea Plaza has been approved by the City Council and demolition and dirt moving has begun,” Picklesimer said. “It will be anchored by the ‘Lord’s chicken,’ Chick-fil-A.”

The Chick-fil-A will sit as the anchor tenant to the development and will be the forefront of the property plat that sits directly next to U.S. Highway 280, which is also set to have a traffic signal built at it to help ease the flow of traffic.

“It is on the plat to be on that corner where the Citgo was,” Picklesimer said. “A lot of dirt work has got to be done. There’s going to be a connector road between Chesser Crane and Highway 280 that has to be built through there and that intersection will be signalized by ALDOT, so that project is probably at least 18 to 24 months away as well.”

The Chelsea Plaza is a retail development center that will sit off of the eastbound lane of Hwy 280 near the intersection of Chesser Plantation Lane and the highway itself. The plaza is set to host numerous businesses and restaurants aside from Chick-fil-A, one that is expected to be a popular commodity in the city.

The property will consist of 14.5 acres, with the conceptual plan calling for 16 multi-tenant suites ranging from 1,000 to 20,000. square feet. The total investment for the project is estimated to be in excess of $75 million, which makes it the largest single development in the history of Chelsea.

During a regularly scheduled Chelsea City Council meeting on Tuesday, June 17, the council approved an economic tax incentive agreement with Bash & Co. LLC.

The meeting saw Picklesimer state the city will not assume any ongoing financial risk and any upfront immediate cost and that the city’s borrowing capacity, ratings and budgets will not be impacted in any way.

As part of the agreement, the developer will gain 3 cents of the total 5 cents on each dollar of retail sales. Chelsea will keep 2 cents of the sales tax with 1 going towards the 1-cent educational tax. It will carry until the monetary amount reaches $20 million or the development’s services hit 20 years of business.

The Chick-fil-A location in Chelsea will mark the 100th location within the state of Alabama should no other ones be built within its projected construction timeframe.

More updates on the Chelsea Plaza will become available as they are provided at Shelbycountyreporter.com.

Bruno Lage reveals how Chelsea blocked João Félix homecoming before Al Nassr move

João Félix desired a return to Benfica, even offering a wage cut, as revealed by former coach Bruno Lage in September 2025.

João Félix desired a return to Benfica, even offering a wage cut, as revealed by former coach Bruno Lage in September 2025. Chelsea's high demands of €30 million and a future purchase clause, however, made the deal impossible for Benfica. Ultimately, Félix joined Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia for €50 million, ending his hopes of a Lisbon comeback.

João Félix wanted to return to Benfica, but Chelsea did not allow it. Former Benfica coach Bruno Lage revealed this in September 2025 during an interview with A Bola in Portugal. Benfica tried hard to bring Félix back to Lisbon. The forward was open to lowering his wages. He also spoke directly with Lage to make his wish clear. Chelsea, however, refused the offer. They asked for more money and wanted extra clauses. Benfica could not meet those terms. In the end, Félix moved to Saudi Arabia and joined Al-Nassr.

Bruno Lage says João Félix pushed for Benfica comeback

Bruno Lage explained that Félix showed a strong desire to play again for Benfica. Lage recalled speaking to Félix on the phone after the player publicly said he wanted to return. Lage told him that if he admitted this openly, doors would open. Lage even promised to speak with the Benfica president. Benfica then began talks with Félix’s agent, Jorge Mendes. The club made an offer to Chelsea. They wanted to pay for 50 percent of the player’s rights. Félix was ready to take a pay cut to help the deal. But Chelsea said no.Chelsea demanded around €30 million, equal to £26 million or $35 million, to even consider the sale. They also wanted Benfica to promise to buy Félix completely in the future. Benfica could not afford such a deal. Lage said: “Chelsea, which paid what it did for João, was always intransigent about the fees. Despite our efforts, their demands were impossible.” With the Lisbon club unable to match the offer, the chance of a homecoming ended.Instead, Chelsea later accepted a much bigger package from Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr agreed to pay €50 million, equal to £43 million or $58 million, plus add-ons. Félix signed a two-year contract in July 2025. This move helped Chelsea recover most of their original investment. It also meant Benfica missed their chance to bring back their homegrown star.

João Félix’s career path from Lisbon to Riyadh

Félix first rose to fame as a teenager at Benfica. His talent made him one of the most exciting young players in Europe. In 2019, he moved to Atlético Madrid for a huge fee. But he struggled to fit in under coach Diego Simeone’s style. He scored 34 goals in 131 games but never found consistency. Later, he went on loan to Chelsea and Barcelona. Those spells also brought mixed results. He had injuries. He often played fewer minutes. His return to Chelsea in 2025 did not change much.Also Read: Cristiano Ronaldo Al Nassr Stats, Current Salary, Endorsements, and Net Worth in 2025By mid-2025, Benfica hoped to rescue him and make him the centerpiece of their team again. Bruno Lage believed Félix could have been key to the project he was building. But the deal collapsed under Chelsea’s price demands. With Benfica out, Al-Nassr stepped in. They met the fee. They closed the transfer in July 2025. Félix left Europe and started a new chapter in Saudi Arabia.

Cristiano Ronaldo flaunted his talents as a music tutor as he initiated streamer IShowSpeed in the art of leading a Viking clap.

Ronaldo mimed the rhythm of the drum for Speed, real name Darren Watkins Jr, as Al-Nassr celebrated thrashing Al-Fateh 5-1 to extend their Saudi Pro League advantage.

Speed, who has built much of his 45million-strong YouTube audience with content based on Ronaldo, was in the stands with Al-Nassr's fans to watch the game.

He got to see his hero score - a step closer to 1,000 goals for Ronaldo - while Kingsley Coman popped up with a strike, and former Chelsea outcast Joao Felix bagged himself a hat-trick.

At full-time, Speed, 20, assumed the role of drummer-in-chief to lead the fans through their Viking clap.

There was just one problem: the American didn't really know what he was doing.

Fortunately, Ronaldo, 40, came near the edge of the pitch to act out the motion for Speed to copy, and thus a musician was born.

Speed grew into it, playing up theatrically for the cameras, and looked to enjoy his newfound role leading the adulation of his favourite player.

The youngster is something of a CR7 super fan.

In June 2023 he finally met his favourite football icon, having missed out on close encounters in the past due to bad luck.

After Portugal beat Bosnia & Herzegovina, Speed fell to the ground at Ronaldo's feet after meeting him outside his car.

He shouted 'Oh my God I love you' at the 38-year-old and took a selfie, while the forward seemed amused by the interaction.

They recreated Ronaldo's famous celebration together and shared an embrace while surrounded by confused-looking security staff.

And he is such a fanatic that last year he burst into tears while livestreaming after Portugal were knocked out of Euro 2024 by France.

Speed, followed by tens of millions on YouTube and TikTok, watched the game live on camera and donned a red Portugal polo shirt for the occasion.

But after Theo Hernandez netted the winning penalty, he began sobbing.

The 19-year-old also seemingly cut his hand after smashing a glass, saying: 'That's it, that's his last game, bro. He ain't ever coming back, y'all.

'He's not playing at the World Cup, he's about to retire. That's it.'

Speed later took to Instagram to pose his full response, writing: 'Damn, man. It can't be only me whose [sic] feeling like this. I can't stop crying.

'Knowing this is his last game with Portugal just makes me feel like I'm dead inside.

'I'll forever support this man. WE LOVE YOU Ronaldo and I love everybody else on [the] Portugal national squad. Keep y'all heads up.'

Except that wasn't Ronaldo's final game. Indeed, he is still going for Roberto Martinez's side, and scored twice against Hungary over the international break.

Manchester United breathed life into their stuttering Premier League season when goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro earned them a thrilling 2-1 home victory over Chelsea.

A frantic first half got off to the worst possible start for Chelsea on Saturday when goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was sent off in the fifth minute for a flying lunge at Bryan Mbeumo, upending the United forward as he was through on goal.

The hosts, with just one victory to their name previously this campaign, made their numerical advantage count, with Fernandes and Casemiro putting United 2-0 in front inside 37 minutes.

Casemiro’s needless dismissal just before halftime evened up the numbers and gave Chelsea a way back into the contest, but Trevoh Chalobah’s late header was all the visitors could muster as a nervy United held on for a vital three points.

The pressure has been mounting on United coach Ruben Amorim after defeat in the Manchester derby last weekend left the Portuguese with a win record of just eight from 31 league games since taking charge last November.

The visit of Chelsea offered Amorim the opportunity to start rectifying that meagre return, with the Blues winless at Old Trafford since 2013. Sanchez’s rash tackle significantly aided the beleaguered United manager’s cause.

Along with the added setback of Cole Palmer being withdrawn through injury, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca was forced into an early reshuffle, making three substitutions in the first 21 minutes, the earliest a side has ever done that in a Premier League game.

It was not long before Fernandes added to Old Trafford’s euphoria in the driving Manchester rain, the skipper nudging home his 100th goal for United in all competitions.

Casemiro then seemingly put United in an unassailable position after determined work from Luke Shaw to keep alive the attack, the veteran Brazilian heading in his first goal of the season.

A second booking soon turned Casemiro from hero to villain as he became the first player to score and be sent off in the first half of a Premier League match since Emmanuel Adebayor for Spurs against Arsenal in November 2012.

Even when chasing the game, Chelsea offered very little attacking threat until Chalobah’s header 10 minutes from time. United looked ragged from there on in, but Altay Bayindir remained largely untroubled in the home goal as the hosts held on.

Amorim praised United’s aggression and urgency in a post-match interview, although he wishes his side could have been more clinical to put the game out of sight.

“I have nothing to say to the critics, and most of the time they are right. Today, we won and it is a good day for us,” he told Sky Sports.

“We can lose against Grimsby, [but] we can beat any team. I’m just thinking about the next one. It is really good to win. We need the urgency to win again, that is really important for us.”

Maresca, meanwhile, lamented Sanchez’s early red card.

“We need to start the game better. We cannot concede a red card at Old Trafford after three minutes,” he said.

Elsewhere in the Premier League on Saturday, Liverpool maintained a perfect start in their campaign after Ryan Gravenberch scored and assisted in a 2-1 win over Everton at Anfield.

In another bad day for West Ham coach Graham Potter, his team lost for the fourth time in five games, going down at home to Crystal Palace 2-1.

Wolves lost at home to Leeds 3-1, leaving Vitor Pereira’s team bottom of the table and still looking for their first points after five games.

Trailing 2-0 at Brighton, Tottenham came back to salvage a 2-2 draw.

And former Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou got his first point as Nottingham Forest coach in a 1-1 draw at Burnley.
