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 the historic The McCroskey House 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 Chandler, AZ is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“When I tell you their company name should be "Angel on Earth"- I really mean it! I had spent several hours on a Friday calling numerous senior care agencies, but I made zero progress. Most were too expensive or couldn't accommodate my needs. Finally, around 5:30pm, one of the owners of "Always Best Care Senior Services" returned my call. She introduced herself and let me know she received my message & was returning my call. Her name was Marcy and from the moment she started talking, I knew I was in good hands. She asked me what I was looking for in a care giver & also shared what her company offered. I thanked her for calling me even though I knew she was probably done for the day, but she let me know she's on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. After I told Marcy what I needed for my mother & what we could afford, she asked if I ever considered a "group home" for my mother's care. She explained what it was and said she could even take me to visit a few she would recommend. We agreed to meet a few days later at one of the locations and I was impressed with what the home had to offer. I was more impressed that Marcy didn't know me and still went above and beyond my expectations! She took time from her day to take me to 2 different homes, she asked questions at each location to help let me decide and let me know that she has helped place people in both locations and she trusts both owners 100%. It really eased my mind & I was able to place my mother and know she was in good hands. If it weren't for Marcy, I would still be looking for someone to care for my mom. Even though I didn't use her agency, Marcy helped me find an alternative that we could afford & I'm forever grateful!”
“We have been using ABC for almost a year and have been completely satisfied with the service and quality of their staff. They have been flexible with schedule and always on time. We trust them to take my Mom to Dr appointments and grocery shopping. Marci, who is in charge is delightful and always personally comes to visit when introducing any new caretaker.”
“I have worked with for this company for 4 years and they are great people to work for. Marcy goes above and beyond for her clients and genuinely cares for her clients. Highly recommend if you need care for a loved one or if you are looking for a job as a caregiver.”
“Absolutely unbelievable care provided. If you or a family member need assistance don’t hesitate to contact Always Best Care. They do it right with superb care and compassion!”
“Always Best Care provided in home personal care for my sister for seven years. Their caregivers were skilled, professional and most importantly demonstrated genuine concern for my sister's well-being. They provided three shift coverage, covered vacations, and recruited new caregivers when required. The owner and office staff were delightful to work with. I would highly recommend them.”
“Always provided great care for my mom and Chelsea was amazing. Thank you!”

These amazing women helped us in a very stressful and emotional time when we were under extreme pressure and they made it as easy as possible considering the situation. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
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 Desert Breeze Park 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 Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar or visit The Edwards House, 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 Chandler, AZ, 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 Chandler, AZ 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 Chandler, AZ 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.

CHANDLER, AZ (AZFamily) — A Chandler veteran became the Valley’s newest millionaire thanks to his wife suggesting going to the casino a day earlier than they usually do.
A man only identified as Michael H. won $1,033,590 on a Wheel of Fortune® slot machine at around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday at Gila River Resorts & Casinos – Santan Mountain, officials announced. They said he and his wife Betty go to the casino often.
They typically visit on Sundays, but this time Betty suggested they go a day early. “I’m glad I listened to my wife,” said Michael. “We didn’t plan on visiting the casino (Saturday), but we did and now we’re leaving big winners.”
The couple also had originally planned to go to Rocky Point for the weekend but their dog sitter canceled last minute.
Michael and Betty say they plan to use the money to buy a new home and spend more time visiting their grandchildren who live outside Arizona.
Michael is an Army veteran and a retired American Airlines employee who currently drives a shuttle bus for an independent living community. He often drives residents to Santan Mountain casino on Gilbert Road near Hunt Highway.
The casino says Michael’s jackpot was the fourth million-dollar jackpot award at one of Gila River’s four casinos. “We couldn’t be happier for Michael and Betty,” Michael West, general manager of Santan Mountain, said in a written statement. “Their story is a perfect example of the kind of connection we strive to create with every guest.”

After much research and testing, Cox comes out as the top pick for the best internet service provider for most households in Chandler. Despite not being the fastest ISP in the area, Cox still offers plenty of speed, and stands head and shoulders above its fellow ISPs when it comes to wide coverage area. Verizon 5G Home Internet is also a solid pick, with monthly plans starting at $30. Then there's T-Mobile Home Internet, another close competitor in Chandler, with prices at $35 when bundled with eligible phone plans.
For residents looking for the lowest prices or fasted speeds, we have found the very best. The cheapest internet service provider in Chandler is Cox's 100-megabits-per-second cable or fiber plan, which costs $30 monthly. However, the internet service provider with the fastest speeds is Quantum Fiber's 8,000Mbps plan, but its lack of availability outside of pocket areas makes it unreliable compared to other competitors. Google Fiber is building a network in Chandler, but it won't be operational for a while. Once it is, it will provide some seriously strong competition for Cox.

Most home internet plans in Chandler start at $50 per month -- excluding the entry-level Cox plan which costs $30 per month. That includes the entry-level Cox, Quantum Fiber and Verizon 5G Home Internet plans. Be sure to budget the equipment rental or purchase cost if the gear isn’t included in the price. Phone customers with Verizon or T-Mobile can look into bundling plans to bring down the monthly price of home internet. These can go as low as $35 per month.

The best internet deals and top promotions in Chandler depend on what discounts are available during that time. Most deals are short-lived, but we look frequently for the latest offers.
Chandler internet providers, such as Cox and T-Mobile, may offer lower introductory pricing or streaming add-ons for a limited time. Many, including Quantum Fiber and Verizon 5G Home Internet, tend to run the same standard pricing year-round.
For a more extensive list of promos, check out our guide on the best internet deals.
Cox has upgraded speeds across its coverage area, raising the top tier to 2,000Mbps. That multi-gigabit speed isn’t yet available everywhere in Chandler. Based on an Ookla speed test report, Quantum Fiber offers the fastest speeds in Chandler with its 8,000Mbps plan. Chandler’s median fixed internet download speed registered as 300Mbps, placing it above the Arizona state average of about 268. Chandler compares favorably to Phoenix’s 236Mbps. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)

Most internet connection plans can now handle basic productivity and communication tasks. If you're looking for an internet plan that can accommodate videoconferencing, streaming video or gaming, you'll have a better experience with a more robust connection. Here's an overview of the recommended minimum download speeds for various applications, according to the FCC. Note that these are only guidelines and that internet speed, service and performance vary by connection type, provider and address.
For more information, refer to our guide on how much internet speed you really need.
Internet service providers are numerous and regional. Unlike with the latest smartphone, laptop, router or kitchen tool, it's impractical to personally test every internet service provider in a given city. What's our approach? For starters, we tap into a proprietary pricing, availability and speed database that draws from our own historical ISP data, partner data and mapping information at FCC.gov.
It doesn't end there: We go to the FCC's website to check our data and ensure we consider every ISP that provides service in an area. We also input local addresses on provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP's service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes; all information provided is accurate as of publication.
Once we have this localized information, we ask three main questions:
Although the answers to those questions are often layered and complex, the providers that come closest to "yes" on all three are the ones we recommend. When selecting the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, although we also factor in things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively straightforward. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and consider real-world speed data from sources like Ookla and FCC reports.

Due to sheer coverage alone, Cox is the big dog among ISPs in Chandler. However, its fiber network doesn’t have nearly the reach of its cable network. Quantum Fiber is a solid choice if it services your address, and it might even offer multi-gigabit download speeds. If Cox isn’t your cup of tea, consider testing the waters of 5G home internet with Verizon or T-Mobile. Chandler’s home internet scene will go through a major shakeup when Google Fiber’s under-construction network begins to go live. Until then, expect Cox to continue its domination.

CHANDLER, AZ — Developers tell ABC15 that a proposed affordable housing development in Chandler will be scrapped.
Dominium was planning to build hundreds of apartments for seniors and veterans who qualify for low-income housing.
While the plan had support from groups like the Valley Interfaith Project, it faced heavy pushback from neighbors and the city over the location near Arizona Avenue and Ocotillo Road.
Now, the developer plans to sell the land.
“That location was just not the right fit. It didn’t go along with the general plan. It was a risky location. It was a noisy location,” neighbor Derek Logan said.
Dominium Senior Vice President and Mountain West Development Leader Owen Metz released a statement:
“Dominium works tirelessly to improve Arizona’s ongoing housing crisis that is resulting in rents that are out of reach for our essential workforce and seniors on fixed incomes. The only way to solve the issue is to build new housing for all incomes. Arizona’s housing shortage is a challenge in each community in the Valley. It is unfortunate that nearly 300 seniors will not get to call Sonoran Landings in Chandler home and receive much needed housing security and financial relief as well as connections to vital services. We respect the role Democracy played in that process and look forward to continuing to provide quality affordable housing for Arizonans who need it most.”
For the Valley Interfaith Project, their advocacy for affordable housing continues, despite the Chandler project stalling.
“The conversation is not at an end,” Valley Interfaith leader Barbara Quijada said. “We are interested in what properties the city of Chandler owns around the city and what might be done with those.”
