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, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting Adams National Historical Park in Adams, CO 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 Adams, CO is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I am a current client of this provider They have a huge impact. They help the most by driving us since I do not drive. They also help change the bedding and make the bed since it is difficult for us to do. I think that they have been excellent. I am very fond of the person I am assigned to.”

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.
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 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.
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.
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 local activities, such as visiting Riverdale Regional Park in Adams, CO with friends 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 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 Grazie or visit John Adams and John Quincy Adams Birthplaces Adams National Historical Park, 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.
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 older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, 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 is 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 patients 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 - 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.
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 Adams, CO, 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.
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:
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 Adams, CO 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.
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.
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:
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:
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.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care 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. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
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.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Adams, CO 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
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.

Adams County is pleased to share the Regional Transportation District (RTD) Board of Directors’ approval of the project development funding to advance the completion of the North Metro (N) Line. This marks the next important milestone in delivering on the entirety of the FasTracks vision approved by voters more than two decades ago.
The approved funding will support the environmental review, corridor validation, and preliminary design work needed to move the remaining 5.5-mile segment of the N Line toward construction. Completing these critical pre-construction activities will position the project to compete for future state and federal construction funding.
“Last night’s vote marks a significant milestone for the North Metro communities that have waited years to see the N Line completed,” said Adams County Board of Commissioners Chair Julie Duran Mullica. “This investment honors the commitment made to voters more than two decades ago and demonstrates what is possible when local governments, regional partners, and community advocates work together toward a shared goal.”
The N Line is already one of RTD’s strongest-performing commuter rail corridors, serving approximately 3,600 average weekday riders despite operating without its final extension. The completed corridor will extend commuter rail service farther north, improving regional connectivity for Adams County residents while supporting continued residential and commercial growth throughout the North Metro area.
As one of Colorado’s fastest-growing counties, Adams County continues to prioritize and advocate for transportation investments that improve mobility, reduce congestion, and support economic vitality. Completion of the N Line is expected to provide additional transportation options for residents, strengthen connections between communities, and help meet the growing demand created by continued population and employment growth across the county. Further, the county is a steadfast advocate for creating a network of transportation options that serves all people by improving access and, where possible, ensuring transportation is not a barrier to opportunity.
Adams County has long partnered with RTD, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG), local municipalities, and regional stakeholders to advance the project. With project development now funded, those partners can continue the work necessary to prepare the corridor for future construction funding opportunities.
The total cost to complete final design and all pre-construction activities is currently estimated at approximately $55 million. The RTD Board’s approval of the initial $12 million allows regional partners to begin the work necessary to modernize the project and position it for the next phases of engineering, final design, and future construction funding opportunities for the final two stations.
“When completed, the N-Line will connect CO-7 to Denver, giving not only our residents, but people across Colorado more access to our growing region,” said Janet Lundquist, Director of Public Works at Adams County. “Importantly, this funding from RTD will allow us to bring work that was initially designed and approved decades ago up to the levels of safety, engineering, design, and more to fit in with the needs of 2026. This first $12 million is so important because we need to reevaluate things done in the past and approach this extension appropriately.”
To help maintain momentum, Adams County is working alongside the cities of Thornton, Westminster, Commerce City, as well as the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), to build a regional coalition that will advocate for completion of the N Line.
“While this is an important step forward, it is not the finish line,” Mullica said. “There is still significant work ahead to secure the funding needed to complete the final extension, but our commitment has never wavered. Adams County will continue advocating alongside our partners until the final stations are built and the promise of the N Line is fulfilled. Our residents have waited long enough, and they deserve nothing less.”
El Condado de Adams se complace en compartir que la Junta Directiva del Distrito Regional de Transporte (RTD) aprobó los fondos para el desarrollo del proyecto de avance para la finalización de la Línea Norte del Metro (N). Lo anterior marca el siguiente hito importante en el cumplimiento de la visión de FasTracks, aprobada por los votantes hace más de dos décadas.
Los fondos aprobados apoyarán la revisión ambiental, la validación de corredores y el trabajo de diseño preliminar necesario para dirigir el segmento restante de 5.5 millas de la Línea N hacia la construcción. Completar estas actividades críticas previas a la construcción permitirá posicionar al proyecto para que compita por futuros fondos estatales y federales para la construcción.
“La votación de anoche marca un hito significativo para las comunidades de North Metro que han esperado años para ver completada la Línea N”, dijo la presidenta de la Junta de Comisionados del condado de Adams, Julie Durán Mullica. “Esta inversión honra el compromiso que se pactó con los votantes hace más de dos décadas y demuestra lo que es posible cuando los gobiernos locales, los socios regionales y los defensores de la comunidad trabajan juntos hacia un objetivo compartido”.
La Línea N ya es uno de los corredores ferroviarios de cercanías de mayor desempeño del RTD, dando servicio a aproximadamente 3,600 pasajeros promedio entre semana, a pesar de operar sin su extensión final. El corredor terminado extenderá el servicio de trenes de cercanías más al norte, mejorando la conectividad regional para los residentes del Condado de Adams al tiempo que apoya el continuo crecimiento residencial y comercial en toda el área metropolitana norte.
Al ser uno de los condados de Colorado de más rápido crecimiento, el Condado de Adams continúa priorizando y abogando por inversiones en transporte que mejoren la movilidad, reduzcan la congestión y apoyen la vitalidad económica. Se espera que la finalización de la Línea N proporcione opciones de transporte adicionales para los residentes, fortalezca las conexiones entre las comunidades y ayude a satisfacer la creciente demanda creada por el continuo crecimiento demográfico y del empleo en todo el condado. Además, el condado es un firme defensor de la creación de una red de opciones de transporte que sirva a todas las personas mejorando el acceso y, en la medida de lo posible, asegurando que el transporte no sea una barrera para acceder a las oportunidades.
Por mucho tiempo, el condado de Adams ha estado asociado con el RTD, el Departamento de Transporte de Colorado (CDOT), el Consejo Regional de Gobierno de Denver (DRCOG), los municipios locales y las partes interesadas regionales para avanzar en el proyecto. Con el desarrollo del proyecto financiado, estos socios pueden continuar con el trabajo necesario que prepare el corredor para las futuras oportunidades de financiamiento de la construcción.
El costo total para completar el diseño final y todas las actividades previas a la construcción se estima actualmente en unos $55 millones. La aprobación por parte de la Junta del RTD de los $12 millones iniciales permite a los socios regionales comenzar las obras necesarias para modernizar el proyecto y posicionarlo para las próximas fases de ingeniería, diseño final y oportunidades futuras de financiamiento para la construcción de las dos estaciones finales.
“Cuando se termine, la línea N conectará la CO-7 con Denver, dando no solo a nuestros residentes, sino a los habitantes de Colorado, más acceso a nuestra creciente región”, dijo Janet Lundquist, directora de Obras Públicas del Condado Adams. “Es importante destacar que este financiamiento del RTD nos permitirá llevar los trabajos que inicialmente se diseñaron y aprobaron hace décadas a los niveles de seguridad, ingeniería, diseño y más para que se alineen con las necesidades del 2026. Estos primeros $12 millones son muy importantes porque necesitamos reevaluar lo que se hizo en el pasado y enfocar esta extensión de manera adecuada”.
Para ayudar a mantener el impulso, el Condado de Adams está trabajando junto con las ciudades de Thornton, Westminster, Commerce City, así como el Departamento de Transporte de Colorado (CDOT), para construir una coalición regional que abogará por la finalización de la Línea N.
“Si bien este es un paso importante hacia adelante, no es la línea de meta”, expresó Mullica. “Todavía queda mucho por hacer para obtener los fondos necesarios para completar la extensión final, pero nuestro compromiso nunca ha flaqueado. El Condado de Adams continuará abogando junto a nuestros socios hasta que se construyan las estaciones finales y se cumpla la promesa de la Línea N. Nuestros residentes ya han esperado demasiado, y se merecen nada menos que eso”.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Adams County has now added a charge for drivers at public electric vehicle stations to charge their cars.
Since 2014, the county has allowed free electric vehicle charging at seven locations to encourage drivers to switch from gas-powered vehicles. A spokesperson for the county said the fee was added August 3 after seeing the cars surge in popularity.
Those charging up at county stations are looking at $0.15 kWh fee plus an additional $0.25 per minute charge for cars who stay at the station for over an hour after powering up.
Many popular 2026 electric cars take 50-110 kWh to fill their batteries. That means a $7.50 to $17.50 charge not including added fees, including a charge just for plugging in and a $0.25 per minute idle fee for drivers that stay at the station for over an hour after powering up.
Adams County leaders said the public chargers serve about 350 unique cars for over 2,000 charging sessions. The fee is supposed to cut down on wait times and help fund new transportation infrastructure through the county general fund.
Colorado created the first state Electric Vehicle plan in 2018 with the goal of increasing EV sales in the state. The plan laid out an ambitious goal of putting 940,000 electric vehicles on Colorado roads by 2030.
In 2025, state leader boasted Colorado’s success in EV sales, claiming to be number one in the country for sale in the third quarter of 2025, making up 32.5% of new car sales in the state.
In the past few years, Colorado has seen several changes in EV incentives.

While those stations are no longer free, surrounding areas still offer free charging stations.
Denver has five free stations across the city:
The city of Aurora has 20 free chargers at two locations:
Adams County isn’t the only municipality making a change, though. In 2025, Boulder added fees to several of its previously-free chargers.
Tuesday, Broomfield Council is considering changes to its fee structure, possibly adding a $0.15 kWh or $0.25 kWh fee to their 12 public chargers.

Canva co-founder Cameron Adams gained important insights into building technology while working on Google Wave, a communication tool that combined messaging, document editing and real-time collaboration. Despite its ambitious features, the product struggled to attract users, teaching Adams that even innovative technology needs to meet users’ needs to succeed.
In a recent interview with the BBC World Service's Business Daily, Adams reflected on how the experience shaped his approach to building products, including Canva, which he co-founded with Melanie Perkins and Cliff Obrecht in 2013.
Google Wave was designed to bring email, instant messaging and collaborative documents into one platform. It introduced features such as real-time typing and the ability to edit content together, but its wide range of functions proved difficult for many users to understand.
In August 2010, Google announced that it would stop developing Wave as a standalone product because it had not achieved the expected user adoption. The service was eventually shut down in April 2012, although some of its technology continued to influence other products.

Reflecting on the experience, Adams told the BBC that Wave combined so many capabilities that it confused people. Despite its impressive underlying technology, users struggled to see how it fitted into their everyday lives.
"Sometimes the world isn't just ready," he said, explaining that timing and luck also play a part in whether a product succeeds.
The experience stayed with Adams as he moved from Google to entrepreneurship. He later co-founded Fluent, a collaborative email startup that attracted around 80,000 prospective users almost overnight. However, the unexpected demand created a financial challenge. According to Adams, accommodating those users would have cost the company around $400,000 in its first month, and the founders could not secure suitable investment.
He eventually shut down Fluent and joined Perkins and Obrecht to build Canva, drawing on his experience in design and technology.
The lessons from his earlier ventures also influenced the team's approach to launching Canva. Rather than rushing the product to market, the founders spent months developing and testing it before its 2013 launch.
"We knew, however, that we needed to launch a product that had a certain level of quality in it," Adams told the BBC.
He said the team understood its intended users and what they needed from the product. Despite pressure from investors to launch sooner, the founders chose to focus on creating something customers would value.

For Adams, his experiences with Google Wave and Fluent taught him the importance of understanding what users need, choosing the right time to launch a product and solving real problems. He learnt that even a technically impressive idea needs to be easy to use and have a clear purpose to succeed.
Now Canva's chief product officer, Adams continues to focus on making creative tools accessible to more people. He told the BBC that he would not change his journey, adding that his advice to his younger self would be to "have faith and belief through all of the down moments".
