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 Plano High School and Gymnasium 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 Plano, TX is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

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 Bob Woodruff 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 The Capital Grille or visit Downtown Plano, 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 Plano, 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 Plano, 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 Plano, 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.

Take a ride on Intermodal Parkway in the Tarrant County city of Haslet and you'll come across warehouses and distribution centers for all kinds of big retailers and companies. There's a Michaels Distribution Center, an SC Johnson warehouse, a delivery center for Kraft Heinz, and facilities for Coca-Cola and Amazon. It's a wealth of manufacturing and distribution riches, quite honestly.
But Intermodal Parkway will soon be without one of these companies, because the logistics center for JCPenney will be shutting down, according to reports citing a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) letter filed to the Texas Workforce Commission. Nearly 300 workers at the JCPenney plant will be laid off as part of the closing.
Layoffs will occur over two waves, according to the WARN letter. One group of employees will lose their jobs during the first two weeks of August, while a second group will be let go in the first two weeks of November. The warehouse is scheduled to close around Nov. 1.
"JCPenney is always seeking ways to adapt and enhance our operations with the goal of providing a better experience for our customers," JCPenney said in a statement to the Dallas Morning News. "After a thorough review of our organization, we’ve made the difficult decision to close our JCPenney Alliance Regional Logistics Center."
Only two months ago, JCPenney slashed 9 percent of its corporate staff, according to reports; and two months before that, the department store let go about 5 percent of its corporate staff. All of this came after JCPenney merged with other retailers to create Catalyst Brands, a joint venture that also includes Aéropostale, Brooks Brothers, Eddie Bauer, Lucky Brand and Nautica, aka half of your favorite shopping mall in 2003.
In April, Catalyst told the Morning News that the cuts back then were "in the early stages of our integration."
Retailer James Cash Penney started opening dry goods stores in 1902, turning his small empire in the Rocky Mountain states into the brand JCPenney. The chain became a nationwide force by the 1920s and soared to more than 2,000 stores in the 1970s. The company moved its headquarters to Plano in the late 1980s, but the Covid-19 pandemic hit the brand especially hard. As of today, there are somewhere around 650 JCPenney stores nationwide.

NTxBio is opening a biomanufacturing facility in Plano, according to a news release from Gov. Greg Abbott’s office.
What you need to know
The company received a Texas Enterprise Fund grant of nearly $1.5 million to open the $31 million facility, which will create more than 170 new jobs in Plano, per the release.
“Texas is the epicenter for groundbreaking, life-saving medical research and home to thousands of biotech and life science firms,” Abbott said in the release. “I congratulate NTx on their leading efforts to advance the healthcare industry in Texas with their next generation biomanufacturing solutions. Working together, we will keep Texas on the cutting edge of biotech research and development and save more lives.”
What else?
The company was founded in 2015 and manufactures pharmaceutical-grade raw materials, which are used to develop RNA and protein therapeutics. It is currently based in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
NTxBio President and CEO Jamie Coffin said the expanding biotech community and talent pool in Texas led to the decision to open the facility.
Quote of note
“This new cutting-edge R&D lab will not only drive the company's expansion across North America but also revolutionize the discovery and production of biologic materials.” Plano Mayor John Muns said the release. “Plano is a thriving hub for corporate innovation, and NTx is yet another industry leader driving the future of next generation biomanufacturing solutions.”

Plano, Texas is gearing up to welcome a significant new player in the biotechnology sector as NTxBio, commonly known as NTx, announces the establishment of a new biomanufacturing facility in the city. According to an announcement by Governor Greg Abbott and subsequent reporting by the Office of the Texas Governor, the move is projected to generate over 170 new jobs and spur more than $31 million in capital investment. Bolstering this growth, the state has provided a Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) grant amounting to $1,479,000 to support NTx's development.
Founded back in 2015, NTx has established itself by cornering the market, manufacturing pharmaceutical-grade materials essential for RNA and protein therapeutics development. With the establishment of their Plano facility, NTx is set to tap into Texas' rich pool of talent, with Governor Abbott celebrating the state as "the epicenter for groundbreaking, life-saving medical research" and a beehive for biotech firms. NTx's President and CEO Dr. Jamie Coffin shared the excitement, stating, "We are thrilled to expand into our new facility in Plano," as reported by the Governor's Office. The company's synthesis of cutting-edge biomanufacturing platforms is aimed in part to reinforce the healthcare industry in the state.
Not only politicians but also local leaders are underlining the impact NTx's decision will have on the region. Senator Angela Paxton believes that the investment will "advances cutting-edge medical research that will benefit not just our region, but patients across the globe," as said in the statement obtained by the Governor's Office. Representative Katrina Pierson also underscored the positive effects on the local economy, anticipating new job creation and enhanced research capabilities. Plano Mayor John B. Muns and City of Plano Director of Economic Development Doug McDonald both echoed the sentiment, exalting the city as a hub for innovation, especially within the life sciences sphere.
While operational details about the facility remain scant, the community's expectations are high. This facility is predicted, using domestically produced raw materials, to spur advancements in treatments for cancer and rare diseases. Mayor Muns pointed to Plano's corporate innovation ecosystem as being ideally poised to foster the type of growth NTx is pursuing with its new R&D lab. The addition of NTx to Plano is seen as another significant move illustrating Texas’ commitment to leading in biotech research and development, a step forward that may, as officials have claimed, revolutionize both the discovery and production of biologic materials.

PLANO, Texas — A popular North Texas shopping hub was recently bought by investors for $785 million.
Plano's Legacy West, the shopping destination at the southwest corner of the Dallas North Tollway and State Highway 121, was acquired by Kite Realty Group, an Indiana-based real estate investment trust, in a joint venture with Singapore-based GIC announced in late April.
The property includes about 344,000 square feet of retail, 444,000 square feet of office, and 782 multifamily housing units, according to a press release.
Legacy West features 300,000-plus square feet of restaurants, retail and entertainment, including Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., Ralph Lauren, and more. Kite Realty Group also owns Southlake Town Square in North Texas.
“In addition to another strong quarter, the KRG team is proud to announce the acquisition of Legacy West through a recently formed strategic joint venture with GIC, a global institutional investor,” said Kite Realty Group Chair and CEO John A. Kite in an April 30 press release on their 2025 first-quarter operating results. “Legacy West is an iconic mixed-use asset with significant mark-to-market potential that further establishes KRG’s prominent presence in the Dallas MSA.”
Kite owns a 52% majority interest in Legacy West, with GIC owning the other 48%. Kite's share of the purchase was $408 million, according to a press release.
As part of the deal, the joint venture assumed a $304 million mortgage at a 3.8% annual interest rate, according to a press release.

“The intersection of [State Highway] 121 and the toll road is what I call downtown North Texas," Bob Young, executive managing director at retail real estate firm Weitzman, told the Dallas Business Journal. ”We cooperate and compete with everybody to elevate the standards and have a better product for the consumers. I just think that's kind of a personality of what's happening in North Texas."
