It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Highlands Ranch, CO is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“Always Best Care provided us with a great care giver on short notice. Zenida was a gift to my husband and me during the last few weeks of his life. She came in with a smile every day and worked hard. I always felt comfortable leaving the house when she was there. She was a good companion to Bob and he looked forward to her being there for him. After Bob passed she helped me clean up the medical mess and organize his things. I was glad to have company during this difficult process. She spoke of her time with Bob and shared happy memories. This company was recommended to me by a friend and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for caregivers for a loved one. I highly recommend Zenida personally.”
“Tina at Always Best has been a caregiver for my mom for several years. I recently had surgery and asked to have her come to take care of me for the first week post surgery as well. She was wonderful! Having that extra help making sure I could safely take care of myself on crutches, prepping meals and assisting with chores really got me off to a good start to a long recovery. I recommend ABC to anyone needing a caregiver, either short- or long-term!”
“From the moment I needed them, Jen was able to set up care immediately for my mom. The care and compassion they provide are truly inspiring. My mom and been happy with everyone that helped out. A special shout out to Denisha and Salam for helping her in the end. I don’t know what I would have done without all their help with taking my mom to appointments, shopping, and lunches. They were both very enjoyable.”
“My Betty Thompson has been with ABC for over two years. Our 4 day a week caregiver Taylor Eicher is absolutely amazing! She is loving, kind, thoughtful and loves my mom. Everyday she takes her out somewhere to coffee, to the zoo many different outings. She is bringing so much joy to her life and mine (Betty’s daughter). What a special time for my mom as she navigates this period of her life. Thank you Taylor and thank you Always Best Care”

“I don't normally write google reviews but felt the need to make the effort given the stellar service my family received from ABC Denver. They were professional, compassionate, flexible and very easy to have around the house at a difficult time for our family. I would like to call out 2 aides who were at our house the most, Art and Shannon. They gave us exceptional care. Also, the case manager, Jen, understood that we didn't know what we would need but was constantly flexible in responding to our ever-changing requests for additional support. For those of you looking for an excellent home healthcare agency in the Denver metro area, I highly recommend this agency.”
“ABC did a fantastic job for my parents before I moved them out of state with me. Anna traveled with both of them helping to navigate a rough move. I can't thank Anna and Jen enough”

“Always Best Care has been helping us for almost 4 years. We have had a routine schedule for Amber or Tina to come to our house, where they have become an important part of our family and needed help with caregiving and light housekeeping. Both of them are reliable and exceptionally caring. When my husband needed to move to Memory Care, Nancy Hemming spent so much time with us visiting facilities and teaching us about different models. She is so knowledgeable and was essential help when we didn't know how to approach the search. At times, during acute health problems, we needed daily and sometimes around the clock care. Always Best Care did a remarkable job of finding people to help, sometimes on very short notice. Most recently, Tina knew of my upcoming surgery and changed her own schedule so she could be with me daily following the surgery when I needed extra help. I continue to be stunned about how very caring and helpful everyone has been during these years. I have referred friends and will continue to do so. Thanks for everything!”
“Always Best Care Senior Services has been taking excellent care of my elderly mother for over a year now. Raelynn, our caretaker is like family to us.

“Jen, Ariella and Megan were part of Dad’s Always Best Care (ABC) team for close to 100 days .We couldn’t have asked for more! Dad looked forward to their friendly smiles, sense of humor and “can do “ attitude. Thanks to the ABC team, Dad was able to remain in his own home in Lakewood for almost 100 days of hospice, growing weaker each day physically, but always staying positive and remaining emotionally and mentally strong. Dad was thankful for each day. After Dad’s passing, favorite members of the ABC team joined family, friends, neighbors and geology colleagues for his military tribute and memorial service at Fort Logan National Cemetery. ABC, we couldn’t have gone through the past four months without you!”
“This company was a huge blessing for our family. They were extremely easy to work with, even with very short notice. They met every need we had. The care my father received was excellent. Karalyn in the early days was such a fun person and my dad looked forward to her coming. As my dad needed more care they were able to meet those needs usually within hours. Dad had excellent care with Shannon, Robert, Genesis. They became like family . Dad was eager to have them there and they engaged him in things he enjoyed doing. The team you text with short notice needs were respectful and helpful with every request. And our care coordinator Jan would stop by and visit dad ,and make sure all his care was working smoothly which was so appreciated .This company is reliable, professional, and I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs home care.”

“As a social worker for older adults, I have been referring patients/families to ABC for many years based on great experiences. When I moved my grandma to the Colorado area and she was needing some extra support, it was the natural response to utilize Always Best Care for her caregiving needs! We have been clients for 4 months and both my grandma and me feel incredibly supported by their team. Their caregivers are reliable and kind, and if there is a concern the leadership team works to resolve the concern in a quick and professional manner. I am so happy that my grandma gets to feel some extra love from this awesome company.”
Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Highlands Ranch, CO, 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 Highlands Ranch, CO understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Highlands Ranch, CO 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.

For Sarah Carlson, cookies have always been a family affair. One of eight children, she grew up baking with her family before turning a lifelong dream into Quinnie’s Cookies, a business she launched from her home kitchen three and a half years ago.
Now, Carlson is opening Joy Batch Cookies & Coffee shop in Highlands Ranch Town Center, serving the melt-in-your-mouth cookies Quinnie’s fans have come to love. Open to the public starting October 9, guests can experience cookies, handcrafted coffee by Carlson’s brother’s roasting company, and thoughtful gifts while leaving feeling more joyful than when they arrived.
“It’s something that I’ve always loved,” explains Carlson. “I think the name really emulates the feeling that I want from the experience of a cookie. I feel like cookies bring joy, baking brings joy.”
Carlson says the idea of selling cookies was always there—it was a “one day” dream. One day she would start selling cookies, which became one day she would open a store. It started with selling cookies from her house, and when word spread and her business grew, she knew it could maybe be something more.
Then the opportunity for a storefront came up and Carlson explains she was approached by a friend who asked her, “Why not now?” She says it opened the pathway to thinking why not now?
“Then from there, I just feel like God opened up so many doors for this to even become a potential that it’s now something that I know I have to do,” observes Carlson.
From choosing a name that reflects baking and cookies (and is even her middle name, Joy) to figuring out seasonal cookie flavors, coffee, and specialty gifts, Carlson says she has felt very supported by the community.
“It’s just really something that I can’t even express how grateful I am for the support and for the ability to be here and be doing this. But to know I have people in my corner and I have a village to help me do it,” she says.
Carlson explains that she is excited to see what the future holds and for her kids and husband to see the new chapter in their lives.
As for the cookies themselves, the store will feature five signature flavors: Triple Chocolate Chip, Cake Batter Confetti, Cookies & Cream Cheesecake, Toffee Pretzel, and Chocolate Candy Crunch. The store will also include four rotating seasonal flavors each month, which for October are Peanut Butter Cup, Animal Party, Dirt & Worms, and Cinnamon Toast.
The cookies are also sold in three sizes, named after Carlson’s three children: Double Decker (large individual cookie), Quinnie’s Minis (pre-packaged dozen mini cookies), and Welles Batch (20 three-bite cookies presented with homemade buttercream frosting for dipping). Special and large orders can be placed online with at least a day’s notice.
The cookies are unique in shape and texture, with a light, crisp exterior and a thick, gooey center. Think a brownie-ish center topped with homemade buttercream frosting or toppings tailored to each flavor.
On top of that, Carlson explains that she only uses organic flour and dye-free sprinkles with the intention of better-for-you ingredients. The coffee comes from Carlson’s brother’s coffee roasting company out of Louisiana where he roasts all the coffee from organic coffee beans.
To round out the store, Joy Batch will have a unique selection of gifts—such as tea towels, bath bombs, little stuffies, cards, candles, and more—that can be a thoughtful gift to bring to a friend’s birthday or a complement for a hostess gift of cookies.
“We want their day to be just a little bit better because they came in,” explains Carlson. “We want that thought to be, ‘I’m so happy I stopped by, that really was such a joyful experience.’”
The joy that kids bring is exactly what Carlson says she wants—she wants everyone to feel like a kid when they come in. To be excited to have a cookie and be excited for the experience.
“It’s okay if they smudge the window,” she emphasizes. “I want it to just be that true feeling of an experience when you come in, and it’s meant to bring that happiness and joy into your day for all ages, but especially kids.”
Located at 9315 Dorchester St., #109, in the Highlands Ranch Town Center, Joy Batch will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. For more information, visit joybatch.com.
