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.
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 Alamance, NC is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

Kelly went with me to see each home, asking great additional questions that I didn't even know to ask. My mom is now safely in her new care home, I can easily visit with her anytime of day, and for the first time in many months feel less stressed. I highly recommend Kelly and Always Best Care.”

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.
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. 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 Alamance, NC, 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 Alamance, NC 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.
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 Alamance, NC 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.

QUESTION: What’s being built near the NC 119 bypass where it goes over U.S. 70 in Mebane?
ANSWER: There are two construction projects in the vicinity identified by the questioner, on both sides of the existing Cambro Manufacturing plant off of West Holt Street.
The far larger of the two is an expansion, actually a second facility, for Cambro. The second is the transload facility, to provide rail access for local industries.
Cambro held a ceremonial groundbreaking last June, announcing that the current plant built in 2015 (now occupying 476,857 square feet) would be supplemented by a second, 379,672-square foot warehouse facility that would nearly double the company’s footprint within the North Carolina Industrial Center in Mebane.
Completion of a second facility for Cambro would bring the company’s total square footage in Mebane to a total of 856,529 square feet, based on the plans that have been filed with the city by Greensboro-based Triad Design Group.
The current Mebane facility is the Huntington Beach, California-based company’s only East Coast manufacturing plant.
The new facility is being built by Samet Corporation and is targeted to open in the fall of 2025, Cambro director of logistics Michael Ortiz had previously told The Alamance News last year.
The new plant will be equipped with 56 dock doors and two drive-in doors; Cambro expects to add up to 60 additional employees to the more than 100 who now work for the company at its Mebane location, the company said last year. Alex Talamantes is the company’s plant manager.
Cambro describes itself as a family-owned manufacturing company that produces more than 17,000 products used in the food and beverage industry.
The new facility is being built on 25.4 acres along N.C. Highway 119, near the intersection with West Holt Street. The existing site (at 1268 Holt Street) and the Cambro site under construction are both on Holt Street and are straddled by an overhead bypass for NC 119.
Cambro’s existing facility is located near a planned “transload facility” and a rail loop that Samet hopes to establish on four acres at the corner of West Holt Street and Lake Latham Road in Mebane to serve the North Carolina Industrial Center (NCIC). That is the second construction site to which the questioner apparently refers.
“The current location is a combined facility of both manufacturing and logistics,” Ortiz outlined in an interview with the newspaper last summer. “We are expanding on the manufacturing side, which means we need more room. [Cambro CEO and president] Argyle Campbell owns that land, so that is the property we’re going to [expand on]. The new building is going to be used for 100 percent storage.”
Cambro’s parent company, A Campbell Holdings of Huntington Beach, California, purchased the 25.4-acre property, now targeted for the expansion, for approximately $1.3 million in January 2020, based on documents on file with Alamance County’s Register of Deeds.
The proposed 379,672-square-foot second facility would be built on 14 acres within the overall site, based on based on preliminary plans that have been developed for the Cambro expansion. The facility would be surrounded on three sides by a 40-foot buffer with opaque fencing ranging between four and eight feet high that would be built on top of retaining walls.
Shrubs and trees would be planted along the eastern side of the property to provide a vegetative buffer between the manufacturing facility and approximately half a dozen adjacent residential properties, the plans show. Any existing vegetation also will remain in place, according to the plans that Triad Design Group has submitted to the city for the Cambro expansion. The site plans show that a 26-foot wide gravel access road for emergency vehicles also would be built along one edge of the property.
The existing facility is located near the rail line, but the new facility will not be, Ortiz told the newspaper.
Transload rail facility
The promise of a future rail spur beside Cambro’s plant was one of the things that lured the company to decide to build in Mebane 10 years ago.
Alamance County’s commissioners agreed in 2023 to provide $300,843 for the transload facility that had been planned for nearly a decade but only became viable when the North Carolina General Assembly earmarked $2.6 million for a new transload facility in the biennial state budget passed in late 2021.
The latest estimated cost to build the transload facility was $3.2 million as of early 2023, prompting Alamance County chamber officials to seek additional funding from the city of Mebane and Alamance County government to cover the construction costs.
David Putnam, then the economic development director for the Alamance County Area Chamber of Commerce, told the county commissioners in the spring of 2023 that the transload facility “would open up opportunities for manufacturers, farmers, everybody” to have direct rail access to ship and receive rail cargo.
Target Corporation has purchased 10.7 acres from the Koury Corporation to build a 128,000-square foot store along Trollingwood-Hawfields Road on the outskirts of Mebane that will be its second location in Alamance County.Target paid $1.975 million for the parcel off I-85/40, along Trollingwood-Hawfields Road, and closed on the purchase in late January, based on a deed to the property that has been filed with Alamance County’s Register of Deeds.The site of the future Target store in Mebane is part of a forthcoming 83-acre ...
Target Corporation has purchased 10.7 acres from the Koury Corporation to build a 128,000-square foot store along Trollingwood-Hawfields Road on the outskirts of Mebane that will be its second location in Alamance County.
Target paid $1.975 million for the parcel off I-85/40, along Trollingwood-Hawfields Road, and closed on the purchase in late January, based on a deed to the property that has been filed with Alamance County’s Register of Deeds.
The site of the future Target store in Mebane is part of a forthcoming 83-acre mixed-use development along Trollingwood-Hawfields Road.
Mebane’s city council had voted in December to approve conditional rezoning for 19 parcels along Trollingwood-Hawfields Road, which is located within the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, where Koury Corporation intends to build the mixed-use development. The 83-acre development will be built across the interstate from the future Buc-ee’s travel plaza that Mebane’s city council approved in early 2024.
Koury’s site plan calls for the construction of a retail shopping center, parking lot, offices, and outparcels on the front half of the property along Third Street Extension.
The back portion of the 83-acre site would have 645 apartments and 38 townhouses, based on a site-specific layout that Mebane’s city council approved for the Koury Corporation in December of last year.
The future Target store in Mebane is one of four new stores in North Carolina (and 36 across the country) that the company has announced on its website.
No timeframe for construction of the Target store in Mebane has been given. A Target Corporation spokesperson had not responded to an inquiry from The Alamance News by press time on Wednesday.
The existing Target store in Alamance County is located in the University Commons shopping center at 1475 University Drive in west Burlington. That store was built in 2004 and spans 124,170 square feet, according to the county’s tax department.
In addition to the Mebane store, the other new stores Target is also planning: a 148,000-square foot store in Fuquay-Varina; a 128-000-square foot store in Myrtle Grove (New Hanover County); and a 130,000-square foot store in Selma. Target currently has nearly 2,000 stores throughout the U.S., according to the company, which is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Conditional rezoning contingent upon two entrances to residential component
One of five agreements that Koury Corporation has inked with Target (a 107-page“Operation and Easement Agreement”) references certain “Additional Property” that is adjacent to the Target parcel, but notes, that property “in not currently owned by Developer, nor is it part of the Shopping Center as of the Effective Date [of the agreement].”
That “additional property” referenced in the operation agreement between Koury and Target appears to be a 1.67-acre parcel along Third Street Extension that Alamance County government purchased in July 2023 for a future EMS substation to serve the eastern part of the county.
A representative for Koury had told Mebane’s city council in December that the 1.67-acre parcel would provide a necessary access point to the site required by the state Department of Transportation (DOT).
Attorney Nathan Duggins, one of two lawyers with the Greensboro-based Tuggle-Duggins law firm who represented the Koury Corporation for the rezoning request to the council in December, had said that the county-owned parcel as a key part of the development that would serve as a second entrance from South Third Street into the residential component of the project. This outlet had been added to the company’s site-specific plan at the behest of DOT and was one of numerous conditions attached to the conditional rezoning request presented to Mebane’s city council.
The layout for the shopping center that was presented to the council on December 2, 2024 showed the county-owned land as providing one of two entrances off of South Third Street into the mixed-use development.
A representative for Koury Corporation had included that parcel in its rezoning request to Mebane’s city council in December, based on a “Property Owner Authorization” that Alamance County manager Heidi York signed on November 8, 2024, authorizing the developer to seek rezoning for the county’s parcel as part of its overall request for the 83-acre mixed-use development.
The Alamance News later learned that Koury’s lawyers had told Mebane city officials that the company had the 1.67-acre property owned by Alamance County under contract.
Alamance County officials initially denied any involvement with the Koury rezoning but ultimately admitted to having allowed the developer to incorporate the county property in its rezoning request “as a necessary step in the rezoning” for its future EMS station, as Alamance County manager Heidi York described the arrangement.
In subsequent conversations with the newspaper following the December 2 rezoning, county attorney Rik Stevens and assistant county manager Brian Baker reluctantly admitted that they were “in negotiations” to swap the 1.67-acre parcel on Third Street Extension for part of another 48.77-acre parcel that Koury owns at the northeast corner of Smith Drive and N.C. Highway 119.
Documents that The Alamance News obtained through a public records request revealed that county government officials had been discussing a potential land swap for a future EMS station on Mebane’s outskirts at least two months before Koury presented its rezoning request to Mebane’s city council – and absent any public discussion with the county commissioners.
Alamance County officials have yet to finalize a land swap, or a sale of the parcel along Third Street Extension, with Koury Corporation, based on documents on file with the county’s Register of Deeds as of press time Wednesday. The 1.67-acre site is still listed as being owned by Alamance County, which bought the vacant land in July 2023 for $300,000 from Alamance County Rescue Unit, Inc.
County officials alluded to the incomplete status of the “swap” discussions during a daylong budget retreat on February 17.
