Home Care In Plano, TX

Home Care Plano, 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 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.

“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. If you're looking for home care service providers who treat your loved ones with respect and compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Always Best Care.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Plano, 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 Plano, 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 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.

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 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.

 Elderly Care Plano, 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 Plano, 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 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.

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 Plano, 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 Plano, 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:

  • HarborChase of Plano
  • The Waterford at Plano
  • Sunrise of Plano
  • Spring Creek Assisted Living
  • DaySpring Senior Living
  • Silvermark Memory Care
Home Care Plano, 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

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

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.

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.

The Porsche owner “freaked out” because, supposedly, the dashcam owner “got in his way” earlier.

Plano suburbs driver and Redditor /u/SamWiseGoody shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier this week (May 7, 2025) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing a driver Porsche choosing to speed and drive carelessly in a school zone, all to exact his revenge on OP, the dashcam owner, for supposedly getting in his way moments before.

Check out the pathetic display of getting back at someone in one of the most dangerous ways possible in the dashcam video embedded below, with the original Reddit thread linked here.

The incident happened near the intersection of Ohio St. and Quincy Lane, about a 1/3 mile away from Huel Elementary School (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)

According to OP’s comments, moments before this incident, it looked like he changed lanes into the Porsche’s lane far ahead of where the Porsche was.

“He was way back…”

The Porsche owner, for some reason, took offense to this and decided to speed up to OP, pass him, and then “freak out” at the aforementioned intersection.

“…(the Porsche) crossed over and did this.”

The speed limit in that area is marked at 20 MPH in respect of the school zone (nearby Huel Elementary.)

We can see the Porsche brake checking OP and waving his fist towards him before eventually proceeding on.

Another driver in what looks like a coal rolling bro dozer, is having none of the Porsche driver’s antics and overtakes both of them.

“Love how at the end of the video the big truck cut in front of him. LOL,” the top comment from /u/Gargravars_Shoes reads.

“I don’t get brake checking after passing someone you deem too slow. Are you trying to go fast or not?,” /u/The-Great-T points out the contradiction.

This is the most Plano, TX video I’ve ever seen,” local /u/Upsiderhead added.

In Plano, speeding in a school zone carries a $500 fine before all the fees.

A bill that would cut funding for Dallas Area Rapid Transit is a step closer to possibly becoming law.

After extensive testimony during a committee hearing last month, state lawmakers on the House Transportation Committee voted 9 to 2 Tuesday to advance House Bill 3187, authored by North Texas Rep. Matt Shaheen (R-Plano). The bill now heads to the full House for consideration.

The bill would reduce DART’s one-cent sales tax collection from each of its member cities by 25% and redirect that portion into a new general mobility program for cities to use to fund other transit-related projects.

DART spokesperson Jeamy Molina said it would slash services by as much as 30%.

"There's no mincing words here, HB 3187 kills DART," Molina told KERA. "In the first year alone, it wipes out 5,800 jobs and reduces our economic impact by nearly a billion dollars."

Proponents of the bill say it's an effort to restructure the agency they say is in desperate need of an "overhaul."

"The transit authority has a financial structure that has changed little in over 40 years," Shaheen said during testimony. "House Bill 3187 seeks to address payment imbalances by creating an alternative payment plan."

Shaheen told KERA in a written statement he looks forward to seeing the bill reach the Senate and ultimately the governor's desk.

Texas lawmakers hear arguments over bill to cut DART funding

Members of the House Transportation Committee held a first hearing over a controversial bill to cut DART's funding by 25%.

Elected officials at the city of Plano have been pursuing the legislation after a lengthy debate over the value the city receives from the agency. Plano leaders say HB3187 will help solve those "inequities."

"Plano is very grateful to the House Transportation Committee for voting out the bill," Plano City Manager Mark Israelson said in a statement. "There’s still a long way to go in the legislative process and we remain committed seeking passage of this important piece of legislation."

Transit advocates with the Dallas Area Transit Alliance (DATA) told KERA they're disappointed the bill has advanced. Several members, along with DART leaders and employees, traveled to Austin to speak in opposition to the bill last month.

"DATA will continue to fight this bill, as it is an existential threat to public transit in the metroplex," DATA vice president Tyler Wright said Tuesday. "We encourage public transportation supporters across the metroplex to voice their opposition with their city and state leadership."

Jeamy Molina with DART said the agency will continue to oppose the bill while working with Dallas-area representatives to make clear the legislation's potential impacts.

"It dismantles DART's contract with its voters," Molina said. "HB3187 is a DART killer, and it ruins all of the work that has been ongoing to make sure that our riders across all of North Texas are able to access public transportation in a clean, safe, and reliable manner."
