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 City of Arlington - Texas State Historical Marker 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 Arlington, TX is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“Dear Mr. Gardner, I am writing to express my gratitude for the commitment and service of your employee, Shameka Kelly. Through your agency, Ms. Kelly was connected to our family to serve as a caregiver for my sister Victoria who was in the late states of ALS/Lou Gehrigs disease and required 24-hr. care at home. Shameka served as full-time caregiver under the direction of Victorias husband Ron, who was able to keep my sister at home until her passing this past March. This catastrophic and incurable disease rendered my sister completely paralyzed wheelchair bound, unable to speak, bathe, eat or even lift a finger to do anything for herself. Shameka did what most caregivers would not or simply could not do because of the stamina and patience required to care for Victoria. Before Shameka, we hired a multitude of caregivers who came and went sometimes only after one day because of how strenuous and taxing being a caregiver to my sister was. Day after day, Shameka arrived for the job with a smile on her face and the patience and commitment to go with it. My sister Victoria grew to love Shameka, as we all have. It was a great comfort to us because we knew that if Shameka was on duty, my sister was in good hands. Shamekas character, integrity, humor, honesty and professionalism are beyond reproach. She is an extremely caring individual who is always upbeat, optimistic, and patient. She was an answer to prayer for our family and became more than a caregiver she became part of our family. She has my highest recommendation for any task or client that may be placed before her. And we will be forever grateful. Kindest regards, Pamela Meek North Richland Hills, TX”

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 River Legacy Parks 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 Cut & Bourbon or visit First United Methodist Church of Arlington - Texas State Historical Marker, 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 Arlington, TX, 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 Arlington, TX 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 Arlington, TX 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.

It’s the home of the Dallas Cowboys, but where’s a soul to grab a decent bite outside the stadium in Arlington, Texas? We know a spot.
Here are our picks for some of the local restaurants to give a try, from high-end to burgers and beers. Get a taste of some of Dallas’s favorites with outposts out of town and some homegrown and locally owned establishments.
Eater maps are curated by editors and aim to reflect a diversity of neighborhoods, cuisines, and prices. Learn more about our editorial process.
If you want a dose of good old-fashioned Southern food, hit this spot for lunch, dinner, or brunch on the weekends. The menu is kid-friendly, with chicken fingers and quesadillas that the little ones in a group will enjoy. Adults can order a blackened chicken salad with cajun seasonings, an array of burgers and sandwiches, chicken fried steak, salmon, tilapia, and fried shrimp.
This cozy Italian restaurant serves classic dishes and has a live piano player on Wednesday through Saturday evenings. Owner Antonio Capaccioli, who hails from Siena in Italy, opened the place in 1983. Reservations are recommended, and gluten-free eating can be accommodated with advance notice.
Steak, anyone? Diners looking for an upscale meaty bite before they go should make a reservation at this steakhouse with a view — the stadium is visible from the dining room. The splurgy seafood tower is a classic to order, and while this place specializes in steaks, its seasonal pork chop and lamb chop plates are often spectacular. It is closed on Sundays.
This sports bar is great for groups and serves everything one expects, from burgers to Buffalo wings, with a few surprises on the menu. The short rib Frito Pie is a treat, as is the spicy shrimp Arrabiata pasta. It also has brunch and loads of beer on tap.
Pop by for all you can eat sushi and Japanese food at this Arlington spot — or order a la carte if going all in isn’t the vibe. Rolls, nigiri, sashimi, ceviche, bao buns, fried rice, ramen — the gang’s all here.
This speakeasy-style spot offers live music and food, just outside the stadium. Stop in for a Southern meal with dishes including shrimp and corn chowder, blackened salmon, and loads of steaks.
This Asian spot off the Loews hotel offers a trifecta of experiences: sushi, robota, and steaks. Some of the finest A5 wagyu and omakase for the table are on the menu, if you want to splurge. For something more scaled back, try the miso black cod or a simple fried rice. Go big, or don’t — there are yummy flavors to explore either way.
Some folks think of hot dogs when they think of ball games. For other folks, it’s a steak. Order up a slab, along with oysters or king crab legs, and iceberg wedge, and a side of creamed spinach here. Its also open for breakfast, brunch, and lunch.
Babe’s is a staple in North Texas. If chicken fried steak is the craving, this is where it gets satisfied. The fried chicken is also delightful. The meals are served family style — pick a main and share sides of creamy mashed potatoes, green beans, and biscuits.
Make it a barbecue night at this family-run spot that grew from pop-ups to a food truck to a few locations around the Metroplex — and the Arlington location was its first. Brisket is the thing to try, but the ribs and sausage are awfully good too.
All over DFW, Cane Rosso is revered as one of the best Neapolitan-style pies. This family-friendly spot has simple pies for the kids and adult options that go from complex to fun — we love the Honey Bastard, with mozzarella, hot soppressata, bacon marmalade, and habanero honey.
Craving something comforting but a little outside of the familiar favorites? Poutine and crispy fried pickles are on the menu alongside the Tipsy Burger, which comes with many possible combinations of fixings that will make the head spin.
If alfredo sauces for days and linguine, fettuccine, or spaghetti sound good, this trattoria serves it all, plus a meatball sub for the ages.
Owners Patrick and Fasicka Hicks cook up Texas barbecue with a side of Ethiopian flair. Order from the Tex-Ethiopian platters and get brisket with injera, tibs, berber mac and cheese, gommen, and/or various types of stew.
If you want a dose of good old-fashioned Southern food, hit this spot for lunch, dinner, or brunch on the weekends. The menu is kid-friendly, with chicken fingers and quesadillas that the little ones in a group will enjoy. Adults can order a blackened chicken salad with cajun seasonings, an array of burgers and sandwiches, chicken fried steak, salmon, tilapia, and fried shrimp.
This cozy Italian restaurant serves classic dishes and has a live piano player on Wednesday through Saturday evenings. Owner Antonio Capaccioli, who hails from Siena in Italy, opened the place in 1983. Reservations are recommended, and gluten-free eating can be accommodated with advance notice.

Area prices were down 0.4 percent in August and September, up 2.6 percent over the year
Prices in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), declined 0.4 percent for the two months ending in September 2024, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Assistant Commissioner for Regional Operations Michael Hirniak noted that the energy index decreased 7.4 percent, with the index for gasoline contributing most to the decline. The all items less food and energy index remained unchanged, while the food index rose 1.1 percent in August and September. (Data in this report are not seasonally adjusted. Accordingly, bi-monthly changes may reflect seasonal influences.)
Over the last 12 months, the CPI-U increased 2.6 percent. The index for all items less food and energy advanced 3.1 percent over the year, and food prices rose 2.8 percent. Energy prices declined 3.1 percent, entirely the result of a decrease in the price of gasoline. (See chart 1 and table 1.)
Food
Food prices advanced 1.1 percent for the two months ending in September. The index for food away from home (restaurant, cafeteria, and vending purchases) rose 1.7 percent and the index for food at home (grocery store prices) increased 0.7 percent for the same period. Within the food at home category, the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs (+3.2 percent) led the rise. A decline in the index for other food at home (-1.4 percent) partially offset the increase.
Over the year, food prices advanced 2.8 percent. Prices for food away from home increased 3.9 percent since a year ago, and prices for food at home rose 2.0 percent. Over-the-year increases in the indexes for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs (+6.5 percent) and dairy and related products (+5.2 percent) contributed most to the rise in the food at home index.
Energy
The energy index fell 7.4 percent for the two months ending in September. The decrease was mainly due to lower prices for gasoline (-11.8 percent) but a decline in prices paid for electricity (-3.7 percent) also contributed. A 1.5-percent rise in the index for natural gas service partially offset the fall in the energy index over the two-month period.
From September 2023 to September 2024, energy prices decreased 3.1, entirely due to lower prices for gasoline (-16.2 percent). Prices paid for electricity rose 9.3 percent, and prices paid for natural gas service increased 14.8 percent during the past year.
All items less food and energy
The index for all items less food and energy was unchanged in the latest two-month period. Higher prices for apparel (+8.7 percent), public transportation, and household furnishings and operations (+1.6 percent) led advances. Index increases were entirely offset by lower prices for recreation (-1.4 percent), education and communication (-1.5 percent), and new and used motor vehicles (-0.7 percent).
Over the year, the index for all items less food and energy increased 3.1 percent. Components contributing most to the increase included owners’ equivalent rent of residence (+5.2 percent), rent of primary residence (+5.1 percent), and medical care services. Partly offsetting the increases were price decreases in new and used motor vehicles (-4.7 percent) and medical care commodities.
The November 2024 Consumer Price Index for the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, December 11, 2024.
Technical Note
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The Consumer Price Index for Dallas is published bi-monthly. The set of components and sub-aggregates published for regional and metropolitan indexes is more limited than at the U.S. city average level; these indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a much smaller sample size than the national or regional indexes and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local-area indexes are more volatile than the national or regional indexes. In addition, local indexes are not adjusted for seasonal influences. NOTE: Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices between cities; they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period.
The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX, Core Based Statistical Area includes the counties of Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Hood, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Somervell, Tarrant, and Wise in Texas.

The home of the original Buffalo wings has come to Arlington.
At least, the Anchor Bar of Buffalo, New York, claims that.
The Anchor supposedly popularized Buffalo wings 60 years ago, which was also when the Buffalo Bills won their last championship.
Now, the 90-year-old Anchor has dropped a location into the Village at Ballpark, 2150 E. Lamar Blvd. That’s north of Interstate 30, 1½ miles from AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field.
Here’s the surprise: For a chain far from home, it’s pretty good.
The wings and tenders spare no heat. They come with a choice of 13 sauces and four rubs, all atop traditional wings, white-meat “boneless wings,” full-size tenders or grilled tenders, plus cauliflower or plant-based bites.
The original Buffalo sauce, billed as medium, is plenty hot.
Anchor Bar has seven flavors that are hotter.
The menu offers more than just tenders and wings. It includes Buffalo-blue cheeseburgers, Buffalo-blue chicken pizza and even Philly-Buff-Tex cheesesteaks with Buffalo sauce and queso.
There’s also a western New York favorite, the “beef on weck.” It’s a roast beef sandwich with au jus on house-baked kummelweck, a German bread.
The Anchor Bar in Buffalo claims to have originated Buffalo wings on March 4, 1964, when the Bellisimo family fashioned them from discarded chicken parts as a late-night snack for a son and friends.
But another restaurateur, John Young, had been serving them at his Wings & Things restaurant in the Black business district as early as 1960, his family has said. Several Buffalo restaurants had advertised “barbecued” wings.
The founder of national competitor Duff’s Famous Wings, Ron Duff, has said he dined at Young’s before Anchor Bar contends it first served wings. Duff’s operates a North Texas location at 2787 E. Southlake Blvd., Southlake.
At the Anchor Bar one midday during opening week, north Arlington had yet to get in touch with Buffalo culture. The sports bar side, lined with giant TVs, wasn’t busy.
Yet a lunch of green-chile Gouda mac-and-cheese with Buffalo chicken bites came out perfect. Chicken tenders were a generous size.
Advice: Upgrade the side dish from fries to tater tots, onion rings, mac-and-cheese or sweet-potato fries.
There are chocolate desserts and apple pie, if you need something to counter the spice.
Anchor Bar is open for lunch and dinner daily; 682-248-3937, anchorbar.com.
