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 Addison Historical Museum in Addison, IL 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 Addison, IL is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.
The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life.

I don't know Rihanna as well, but she, too, sounds like she cares for my uncle in a kind and positive way. My uncle can be demanding and cranky and they both do a good job maintaining an upbeat attitude. Last but not least, I appreciate Ana for juggling so many clients and caregivers, which in our own situation seem to change on a dime, yet she always comes through. Thanks again”

Thank you for that and please pass on my regards to all that enriched our lives. It was much appreciated.”
“I recently worked with Michelle Kramer at Always Best Care. I would recommend Michelle to anyone who is navigating Senior care for their loved one. Michelle is so knowledgeable as she has been in the industry for so long. She helped me to find places to move my dad, she knew all the answers to the hard questions that I had. Michelle was just amazing and I literally could not have moved my dad recently without her help. I also used their care facilities in July when I moved my dad to his first memory care facility to help him transition. Their caregivers were great and they were so flexible with the times that I needed someone with my dad.”
“We want to thank you all for all the help over the last 5 months And we recognize there is a chance we will need help again in the future. Jeff pls thank Virgie, Tia and the rest of the team Everyone was fantastic!!”

“I believe when someone does an outstanding job they deserve recognition. My mom has two excellent care givers. I stop by my moms one to two times a week. My mom and her house are well cared for each time I stop by. Most often they don't know I am coming, so I know she is receiving wonderful care all the time. My mom has dementia and she realizes that she can't remember most things. It is a large weight off my mind knowing that I couldn't ask for better caregivers. Felicia and Sadie are to be commended for the wonderful job they do taking care of my mom.”

“This company is the best. The owner Matt showed me a whole new definition to what family really means. There are way too many compliments to list.

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 Addison Circle Park in Addison, IL 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 Table 13 or visit Chimney Point Historic Museum, 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 Addison, IL, 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 Addison, IL 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 Addison, IL 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.

That time also marked the deadline to activate players from the 60-day injured list, with the Toronto Blue Jays doing just that. They announced that Addison Barger, Jonatan Clase, Jake Bloss, Bowden Francis, José Berríos, Anthony Santander, and Cody Ponce were added back to the 40-man roster.
Corresponding moves saw CJ Van Eyk DFA’d and outrighted to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, while Rudy Martin Jr. elected free agency after he was outrighted at the end of October. Myles Straw’s team option was also declined.
With the addition of the seven players, the Blue Jays’ 40-man roster now sits at 37. All seven players basically missed the entire season. Santander, Bloss, Francis, and Berríos didn’t appear in a big league game, though Francis was the lone player of the four who failed to play in a minor league game in 2026.
Ponce’s season came to an end early, as he tore his ACL after just two and one-third innings in his season debut. Barger was injured shortly afterward, injuring both ankles in the following game. He returned in May, but injured his arm and required Tommy John surgery. Clase appeared in nine games and hit two home runs over 25 plate appearances, but suffered a foot injury in July, which ended his season.
Van Eyk made his big league debut this past season, hurling 11.2 innings of work and finishing the season with a 5.40 ERA and 5.84 FIP. His stint with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons was better, finishing the season with a 4.02 ERA and 4.37 FIP in 112 innings of work.
Martin Jr.’s stint as a Blue Jay was brief, appearing in just two games where he walked and struck out in three plate appearances. His season came to an end in September and he was recently outrighted before electing free agency.
Expect a lot more transactions over the course of November, as the lockout begins a minute before midnight on December 1st.

With eight players declaring free agency, the Blue Jays' 40-man roster now sits at 39 names. The crunch is about to begin.
That count includes six players coming off the 60-day IL, who will need to be officially added back in the coming days.
The pitching side is crowded. There are 21 arms, from Dylan Cease, Trey Yesavage and José Soriano to Louis Varland, Tyler Rogers and Mason Fluharty.
José Berrios, Bowden Francis and Jake Bloss are among the pitchers coming off the 60-day IL.
Behind the plate, Toronto has three catchers: Alejandro Kirk, Brandon Valenzuela and Shawn Ross.
The infield is thinner, with just six names. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Andrés Giménez, Ernie Clement, Kazuma Okamoto, Charles McAdoo and Josh Smith make up the group.
The outfield includes Brett Bateman, Nathan Lukes, Yohendrick Piñango, Davis Schneider and Myles Straw. Addison Barger, Anthony Santander and Jonatan Clase return from the 60-day IL, with Sean Keys listed at DH.
Straw's $8 million club option is the next domino. The most likely outcome is a decline, with Toronto trying to bring him back cheaper.
Where does the room come from? Some players will be designated for assignment as space is needed.
Prospects like Nolan Perry, Gage Stanifer, Daniel Guerra and Jay Harry also need protection by Nov. 17, assuming there's a Rule 5 Draft.
Options matter, too. Clase, Brendon Little, Bloss and Clement are out of options, while veterans like Guerrero, Kirk, Santander, Giménez, Cease, Berrios, Straw and Rogers can't be sent down.
The list makes the imbalance obvious. Twenty-one pitchers and only six infielders tells you exactly where Ross Atkins needs to spend this winter.
Looking at this roster is like opening a fridge stocked with condiments and no groceries. There's plenty to work with, just not the main course.
By the time baseball returns, presuming it does on time, this list will look very different. The fun part is guessing how many of these 39 are still here on Opening Day.

PUBLISHED: October 25, 2026 at 7:11 AM CDT
A Kane County circuit court judge upheld the Aurora electoral board’s decision to place an Aurora recall referendum question on the November ballot.
The referendum question, already on early voting ballots, asks voters if the city of Aurora should adopt mechanisms that would allow a sitting mayor to be recalled.
Advocates with the group behind the referendum, Aurora for Change, say the speedy decision made by Kane County Circuit Court Judge Elizabeth Flood, of St. Charles, affirmed the soundness and importance of the measure. Flood did not hear oral arguments before issuing her ruling on Oct. 21.
“It’s one thing to have your local electoral board hold something up, but when you have an actual judge saying this is sound case law, then that makes it even more significant,” said Adam Pauley, one of the organizers with Aurora for Change.
But objectors aim to appeal Flood’s ruling at the appellate court level, arguing the referendum is unconstitutional and not self-executing. Appealing the decision would invalidate votes cast on the referendum question.
Aurora Mayor John Laesch, who publicly opposes the referendum, said that going to the appellate court was always part of the objectors’ “calculus.” The objections were formally filed by Helen Francis Ratlow, who is represented by attorney Edward Mullen, an attorney who has often represented Laesch.
“We didn’t have high expectations of this being overturned at the Kane County level,” said Laesch. “The Kane County judge didn’t even listen to oral arguments, and we expect better results in the appellate court.”
The referendum question on fall election ballots asks voters if the city should adopt a mechanism that would allow a sitting mayor to be recalled.
Under the proposed mechanism, Aurora residents looking to recall the mayor would need to gather petition signatures equal to 20% of the last mayoral election’s total votes. The recall would go to a general vote in the next election if enough petition signatures are gathered.
The mayor would then be removed from office if the majority of voters cast their ballots in favor of the recall. The Aurora City Council would have 30 days to fill the vacancy, and if there’s more than 13 months remaining in the term, then a special election would be held to fill the seat within nine months.
Aurora for Change advocates have argued the measure is nonpartisan and aims to empower voters, instead of target any one specific elected official. But some promoting the effort have called for Aurora Mayor John Laesch to be removed from office. The measure has also been financially and publicly supported by former Aurora mayor Richard Irvin, who has continually criticized Laesch’s work as mayor.
Pauley said the measure is about people-powered government, where voters can have a say if they believe an elected leader has done something wrong. Danny Souri, also an organizer behind Aurora for Change, said that under the proposed mechanism, if the elected mayor is doing their job, they should not have to worry about a recall.
Leaders with Aurora for Change have also argued Aurora has the authority to establish its officers’ manner of selection and terms of office through a referendum under Illinois law, according to the attorney representing leaders of the group, John Fogarty.
Fogarty also said the referendum has some historic nature to it, as similar efforts in Illinois have often been struck down in court. He said Flood’s decision was a significant step for individual voters to have an extra “check” on their elected officials.
Objectors argue Aurora does not have the constitutional authority to create the proposed recall system and that the system could not legally operate if voters do approve it, among other arguments, according to the appeal.
Laesch has continued to oppose the measure and says he feels the referendum could set a “dangerous” precedent that could undermine the democratic process.
“This has a significant impact on the entire state of Illinois with respect to making elections more expensive and favoring candidates with deep pockets and corporate money,” he said Friday. “It’s very important we don’t set this dangerous precedent.”
The “dangerous” precedent set by the proposed recall mechanism, argued Laesch, could allow someone who loses an election to gather signatures and promote a recall effort, which he said undermines the votes that put the winning candidate in office.
Laesch said this dynamic could start “perpetual campaigns” where elections become more expensive and favor wealthier candidates who have more money to spend on campaigning and promoting a recall campaign.
He also worries that an increase in elections caused by recalls could create voter fatigue, along with more work and financial costs for county clerks, electoral boards and electoral officials.
As Aurora advocates and leaders continue to clash over the referendum in the Illinois court system, Aurora residents are also duking it out in their lawns, as political signs have cropped up across town.
Signs supporting the recall measure say, “vote ‘yes’ for your right to recall.” Signs opposing the measure say “protect democracy, vote ‘no’ on the recall.”
