Home Care Flower Mound, TX

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 Flower Mound 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 Flower Mound, TX is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“We are so grateful to Always Best Care for the exceptional care they provided to my father-in-law. From the very first conversation, we felt supported and reassured that we were in good hands. Their team went above and beyond, treating him with kindness, patience, and genuine compassion every step of the way. The care service providers that we worked with were professional yet warm, and they quickly became like family to us. They didn’t just meet his medical needs—they truly cared about his comfort, dignity, and well-being. It gave us so much peace of mind to know that he was in such capable and loving hands, whether it was with personal care, companionship, or simply making him smile throughout the day. The communication was seamless, and the staff was incredibly responsive to any changes or needs. We always felt heard, understood, and valued as a family. Having Always Best Care involved made such a difference in our lives, and we cannot thank them enough.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Flower Mound, TX?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

lm-check

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

lm-check

The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.

lm-check

At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Home Care Flower Mound, TX
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local 1845 Taste Texas or visit Bethel Community 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.

Benefits of Home Care in Flower Mound, TX

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

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

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

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

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

With the help of elderly care in Flower Mound, 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.

 Elderly Care Flower Mound, TX

Affordable Care

In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.

Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.

In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:

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

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.

Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.

At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Flower Mound, 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.

Assisted Living Referral Services

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

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


Respite Care Flower Mound, TX

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

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

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Flower Mound, TX

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:

  • Flower Mound Assisted Living
  • Avanti Senior Living at Flower Mound
  • The Oaks at Flower Mound
  • Rosewood Assisted Living Memory Care
  • Magnolia Assisted Living and Memory Care
  • Rose Garden Senior Living
Home Care Flower Mound, TX

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

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

Proposed H-E-B in Flower Mound moves forward with parking exception

The Flower Mound Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday recommended approval of a request to increase the parking ratio for a proposed H-E-B grocery store in the Furst Ranch development, allowing for significantly more parking spaces than town regulations currently allow.

Jonathan Kerby, a representative from engineering firm Kimley Horn, and Becca Wang, a representative with H-E-B, were at the P&Z meeting to answer questions in regard to a request to increase the parking ratio for a 22.86-acre lot near the northeast corner of Hwy 377 and FM 1171.

The recommendation was made to increase the parking ratio from 1 space every 250 square feet to 1 space every 150 feet.

In this case, the size of the potential grocery store would be 110,000 square feet. Under the Town’s current regulations, the parking lot would hold about 440 parking spaces. Under the recommended request, there could be up to 773 spaces.

Jonathan Kerby from Kimley Horn said the 1:150 ratio is standard across H-E-B locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

He cited a parking study done to justify the increase in parking spaces.

They looked at other locations in the Metroplex, including Plano, the first Frisco location and the Alliance location in North Fort Worth.

“On a normal Sunday in August, the parking lot was about 86 percent full,” he said. “On the day before a holiday, in this case December 23, the parking lot was 99 percent full or more with cars circulating trying to find a spot.”

In Plano, he said at one time there were 61 cars were circulating the parking lot with just six spots open.

While in deliberation, commissioner Michelle Jackson said it would be hard to recommend the full 1:150 ratio for approval.

“This is a lot of concrete,” she said. “I don’t know if we could potentially find some middle ground. I want there to be a great option in West Flower Mound, but there is more parking than building here.”

Commissioner Todd Bayuk said this is an extra special exception, but something that was talked about a lot when Furst Ranch started asking people what they wanted was a grocery store–and an H-E-B, in particular.

“Even though this is an exception of an exception, I think there are justifiable reasons for doing it,” he said. “I think it makes sense and I know the residents out there, including myself, will be excited to have this as an addition.”

Another concern from the commission was the commitment of H-E-B being a possible applicant. Recently, the grocer chose to build a store on the Denton side of I-35W at Robson Ranch Road instead of the Argyle side.

“We are moving forward with the Furst Ranch development and the parking study was one of the major things that we were looking for,” said Wang. “With buying or leasing properties, one of the major things that we look at is ‘can we have a fully functioning store here’… so, getting this through at this time was super important.”

The commission unanimously recommended the approval and the request is expected to go to Town Council on May 5.

This North Texas Suburb Named Best Place to Live in the US

While we’re on the topic of Dallas suburbs, it’s worth noting that a local burg situated in the middle of North Texas has been given quite the distinction.

According to a recent study, there’s nowhere better to live in the U.S. than said suburb, in fact.

Flower Mound is where it's at, apparently.

According to Livability, a website offering resources and reports for people looking to relocate, Flower Mound is No. 1 in its "Top 100 Places to Live in the U.S." report. This is just the most recent example of a local suburb getting some national love.

The study considers nearly 100 factors across several categories, including economy, housing, transportation, environment, safety, education and health. It’s also worth noting that the list homed in on cities where median home values are under $500,000 to find the best small to mid-sized places to live in.

“Flower Mound might be a perfect place to live with suburban charm and endless amenities,” the Livability report noted. “With top-rated schools, a strong economy and plenty of parks, Flower Mound is ideal for families and professionals.”

Flower Mound’s score of 875 out of 1,000 just barely topped the 872 score of second-place Carmel, Indiana. Sugar Land, Texas, near Houston, came in third.

The Livability report explained that Flower Mound’s best categories were health, economy, and safety and added that the cost of living there is slightly higher than the national average, with a median home value of $476,609. Still, the positives seem to outweigh the negatives in Flower Mound by a wide margin in terms of this study. Another positive element reviewed by Livability was the job market.

“More than 2,000 businesses operate out of Flower Mound, meaning the city has a diverse and robust economy,” the study noted. “There are a variety of industry jobs available in the area, but three of the largest sectors are technology, manufacturing and professional services. Some of the major employers include Lewisville Independent School District, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital-Flower Mound and Communications Test Design, Inc. (CTDI).”

We like Flower Mound a lot because our favorite North Shore trailhead is located near Lakeside Village. And for the uninitiated, Flower Mound isn’t always such a sleepy suburb. There’s been bakery drama in recent years–yes, bakery drama–after Hive Bakery went viral for selling cookies with former Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz. While many locals loved Hive’s liberal vibe, many others didn’t and a social media comment war ensued, while the bakery reportedly won supporters and new customers from all over the country. To be clear, however, mixing progressive politics with tasty treats is nothing new for Hive.

The Livability study didn't comment on the bakery drama, but we like to think it helped boost Flower Mound’s ranking.

A Denton County adult has been diagnosed with the measles, the county's Public Health department announced Wednesday. It's the county's first reported case.

The county said the person's vaccination status is unknown and that although the individual will not be identified, the list of potential exposure locations will be.

"Today's case is further evidence that measles cases are on the rise – and the DFW area is no exception," said Dr. Matt Richardson, Director of Public Health. "While we haven't linked this case to an existing outbreak, it highlights two realities: vaccines are important, and if you have signs and symptoms, you should be tested."

The individual spent time in Arlington, Flower Mound, Lewisville and Richardson from April 19 through April 22. DCPH said more locations may be added.

Tarrant County Public Health said it was notified by DCPH about the possible exposure in April and said the individual is not a Tarrant County resident.

People who visited known locations during the specified times should:

Collin County Health Care Services said anyone who was at the venues on the dates listed above should monitor themselves for measles symptoms through April 20.

The symptoms of measles include:

While most people's symptoms improve, about 1 in 5 unvaccinated people who get measles will be hospitalized. About 1 out of every 1,000 children with measles will develop brain swelling that can lead to brain damage, and up to 3 of every 1,000 children who become infected will die, the CDC says.

The largest outbreak so far this year has been in West Texas, but cases have been reported in other states around the country as well.
