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 Magoffin Home State Historic Site in Canutillo, TX 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 Canutillo, 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 Gallegos Park in Canutillo, TX 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 Mesa Street Grill or visit Old El Paso County Jail 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 Canutillo, 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 Canutillo, 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 Canutillo, 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.

Exactly 42 years after the dedication of the Dallas Texas Temple — to the day — the First Presidency has announced the site location for the El Paso Texas Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Planned as a single-story building of approximately 22,300 square feet, the El Paso temple will be built on a 6.4-acre site at the northeast corner of Northern Pass Drive and Paseo del Norte Boulevard, in El Paso, Texas.
A site map was also published with the location in an Oct. 19 news release on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
On Oct. 6, 2024, then-Church President Russell M. Nelson announced this temple for El Paso, one of 17 temple locations he identified in the October 2024 general conference.
In 1845, Elder Lyman Wight — then a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles — led a company of Latter-day Saints to central Texas. Missionaries preached in the state in the 1850s, until missionary work came to a halt before the Civil War, and nearly 1,000 converts immigrated to Utah from Texas.
Church membership in the Lone Star State has grown rapidly in recent decades — from 132,000 Latter-day Saints in 1985 to just over 210,000 in 2000.
Located in the Southern U.S., Texas is now home to nearly 400,000 Latter-day Saints in more than 750 wards and branches.
The state has 10 houses of the Lord dedicated, under construction or announced.
Five are operating: the Dallas (dedicated in 1984), Houston (2000), Lubbock (2002), San Antonio (2005) and McAllen (2023) temples.
The Fort Worth Texas Temple will be dedicated Jan. 10, 2027. Two other Texas temples are in construction phases — the Austin temple, under construction since August 2024, and the Fairview temple, since February 2026.
That leaves two temples in planning stages — the Fort Bend and El Paso temples, announced in April 2024 and October 2024, respectively.

The city celebrates its diversity with downtown museums (many of them free!) and a reputation for some great Tex-Mex cuisine.
Whether you come to El Paso as part of a Texas road trip or en route to Big Bend National Park, this town has plenty for families to explore, including a brand new, state-of-the-art children's museum. Here are 20 top things to do in El Paso, Texas with kids, including family-friendly El Paso restaurants and hotels. Check out our Ultimate Travel Guide for more vacation ideas!
Note: Our family felt very safe traveling around El Paso, though we did not not voyage into Juarez, Mexico, its sister city located just across the Rio Grande.
Get ready for a hands-on adventure like no other at La Nube.
This downtown children's museum has many hands-on, STEAM-friendly exhibits and is so spacious (a 77,000-square-foot building with four stories). My kids played there all day, experimenting with hydro power on a giant water table, testing paper airplanes, and crawling their way through the 50-foot climber at the center of the museum that's part jungle gym and part art installation. The museum also has a soft-play area for those 3 and under and a robotics center with a 3-D printer.
Revel in the beauty of the wild-west Texas terrain at this state park just north of the city center, with sweeping mountain vistas and desert cacti. There are more than 100 miles of trails for hikers and mountain bikers. If you're lucky, you may spot wildlife like mountain lions, deer, or birds of prey. For families with small children, the .75-mile Tom Mays Nature Walk is an easy trail that takes about 30 minutes. The park offers a Junior Ranger program, too. Kids 12 and under are free.
This downtown museum, which is free to visit, has two floors of exhibits tracing El Paso's history, from the Spanish colonial period to its role in the Mexican-American War and beyond. The facility is also home to "Digie," the only interactive digital wall of its kind in the United States. It holds over 17,000 uploaded videos and photos. Be sure to pick up a scavenger hunt for your kids on the way in.—they can earn a small prize for completion.
There are so many animals to meet at the El Paso Zoo.
This modestly priced zoo has a nice variety of animals including meerkats, Asian elephants, giraffes, spider monkeys, and zebras. We especially enjoyed seeing the creatures of the Chihuahuan Desert (which spans El Paso into Mexico) like pronghorns, coatis, and peccaries. The zoo also has a nice carousel, a splash pad, a ropes course, and my daughters' favorite—a large, tree house-themed playground. Expect to spend two to three hours at this easily walkable zoo.
Check out this only-in-El Paso museum that focuses on America's border with Mexico and the officers who work to patrol it. Exhibits include Border Patrol vehicles, weapons, and uniforms. There's even a small airplane and helicopter on display, plus lots of interesting information. (Did you know that when the Border Patrol was founded in 1924, the primary mode of transportation was horses?) The museum is small, but also very unique, and admission is free.
This downtown art museum and event space next to the El Paso Museum of History opened in spring 2025. Its two galleries feature works by local artists. The MACC also plans to host classes including art demonstrations, dance performances, and cooking workshops, some of which will be geared toward kids.
Got a kid who's into history? This facility, located just across from the National Border Patrol Museum, has a collection of artifacts representing the civilizations that once inhabited the El Paso area (AD 700-1450). Displays include animal fossils, ancient pottery, and jewelry. There's also 15 acres of natural area surrounding the building, where families can hike and see native plants and flowers.
Walk through the nine galleries of the EPMA to check out its contemporary offerings, including the largest collection of West Texas artwork in the country. We really enjoyed the museum's Star Ceiling, a huge outdoor light installation with 13,500 LED bulbs. Part of that exhibit includes ergonomic benches where visitors can sit back, relax, and take in the artist's version of the El Paso night sky.
Though not exactly a museum, this four-acre garden is lovely, especially if you come in late spring. There are more than 300 varieties of vibrantly colored roses on display, as well as other native plants and water features. Walking paths are wide (perfect if you have a stroller in tow), and there are clean restrooms and benches on site.
There are several indoor playgrounds in El Paso. My kids loved playing at Jumbo Park Texas Adventure, where there are several inflatable playgrounds. Jungle Jaks is a 12,000-square-foot amusement center with climbers, slides, and a cool animatronic dinosaur. And Tots and Play caters to the preschool-and-under crowd with its ball pit, toddler toys, and pretend restaurant and store.
Bounce, flip, repeat at a local trampoline park! El Paso has a few of them. Both Sky Zone East and Sky Zone West boast a ninja warrior course, a dodgeball court, and a toddler zone. Urban Air El Paso has attractions that include climbing walls, bumper cars, and the Sky Rider zip line.
Ah, the family fun center... a one-stop shop where kids can be entertained for hours with arcades, bowling, and small rides. Jump World has all of these features plus trampolines and a jungle gym. Locals also love playing laser tag and mini golf at Bob-O's Family Fun Center, and riding the bumper boats and go-karts at Adventure Zone on the north side of town.
Though this state park is located 45 minutes outside the city center, I wanted to mention it because it's a really cool spot. Not only can you hike the rocky hills of this 860-acre park, but you can also see numerous pictographs and petroglyphs left by the ancient humans who once occupied the land. Kids under 13 are free. Note: The park only allows 70 people in at a time to its self-guided area. That limit is usually reached during the winter, so call ahead of time to reserve a pass.
Nothing beats a Texas steak at 1700° Steakhouse.
If you're looking for a fancier dinner out with the fam, I recommend this classic Texas steakhouse inside the Hotel Paso Del Norte. Not only is the restaurant itself stunning with high ceilings and crystal chandeliers, but the food is really tasty. And while there is no formal kids menu, the staff was more than willing to split a Caesar salad and steak for my daughters.
Located inside the Plaza Pioneer Park Hotel, Ámbar serves up Mexican dishes like carnitas, tacos, and enchiladas, but with a more modern spin. Everything we ate there was delicious, especially the "20-25 lunch special." It includes an appetizer, entree, side, guacamole, homemade tortillas, and dessert all served in a botanero tray (which is kind of like a Southwestern bento box).
Locals love the colorful, vintage vibes at this Mexican eatery located inside Hotel Indigo. Mamacitas is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Menu highlights include matcha overnight oats and huevos rancheros to start the morning, while fish tacos and tandoori chicken make for a great casual dinner.
Satisfy your sweet tooth at this bake shop known for its traditional Mexican pastries and desserts like pan dulce, tres leche cake, and donuts (they often sell out by 10am). An El Paso staple since 1951, Bowie Bakery now has three locations around the city.
Travelers love the recently renovated rooms and rooftop pool at this downtown DoubleTree. There's also a Starbucks in the lobby so parents (and tweens and teens) can fuel up in the morning, as well as those famous chocolate-chip cookies offered upon check-in.
This sleekly designed boutique hotel displays tons of modern art throughout its lobby and guest rooms (full disclosure: some works are quite provocative). Visitors like the Stanton House's uniqueness, cleanliness, and five-star restaurant, Taft-Diaz. Yes, the eatery is a bit posh, but I can attest that the food is truly wonderful!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at this historic downtown hotel that first opened in the 1930s. The rooms are comfortable and the lobby is elegant, with a grand fireplace and cozy seating. The location is nice too, within walking distance of several museums including La Nube and the El Paso Museum of History.

El Paso could be in for a colder, wetter winter as a strengthening El Nin?o pattern takes hold across the Pacific.
El Nin?o continues to intensify, with forecasters predicting a greater than 83% chance that strong to very strong El Nin?o conditions will persist through January to March 2027, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
During an El Nin?o pattern, cooler temperatures and above-average precipitation are typical in the southwestern United States, including West Texas and southern New Mexico, as winter storms follow a more southerly track across the country.
While the weather pattern could increase the chances of rain, snow and colder conditions in the Borderland, forecasters caution that seasonal trends do not guarantee specific weather events.
Here's what to know about how El Nin?o could impact El Paso and the rest of the Borderland.
October is likely to be wetter than normal for El Paso, Southern New Mexico and the rest of Texas, according to an outlook released Sept. 30 by the National Weather Service.
When it comes to temperatures, forecasters predict an equal chance of a cooler or warmer October.
NOAA's seasonal temperature and precipitation outlook, issued Sept. 17, provides additional insight into what El Pasoans can expect during the final three months of 2026.
The temperature outlook shows equal chances of above-normal, near-normal or below-normal temperatures across much of southern New Mexico and West Texas, including the El Paso region.
That means forecasters are not favoring one temperature category over another for the October-through-December period.
The precipitation outlook is more encouraging for the Borderland, showing a slight tilt toward above-normal precipitation across portions of New Mexico and West Texas.
Still, the outlook does not predict specific rainfall amounts, individual storms or snowfall totals.
While it is too early to predict whether El Paso will see snowfall this winter, a strengthening El Nin?o could influence the region's weather by bringing additional storm systems across the southwestern United States.

EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — El Paso County officials issued a disaster declaration in response to severe weather and flooding that have damaged property and forced evacuations in Horizon City.
El Paso County Judge Ricardo A. Samaniego held a press conference Tuesday at 2 p.m. on the third floor of the Enrique Moreno County Courthouse, where he announced a local disaster declaration tied to recent flooding.
The county experienced significant rainfall on Oct. 23 and Oct. 25, which officials said resulted in severe flooding, property damage and the evacuation of numerous residents from their homes.
Samaniego said that up to 60 homes have been affected.
With more rain expected this week, officials said concerns remain about continued flooding, land erosion and further property damage.
The disaster declaration is being issued under Chapter 418 of the Texas Government Code. The county said it will activate emergency management and recovery efforts and authorize the use of available county resources to assist affected residents, protect public safety and address impacts from the severe weather.
During the press conference, County Commissioner Iliana Holguin said that with the declaration, crews will be able to not just drain water and clean debris from public roads, but also help private properties.

Holguin also said that with the declaration, the County will be able to jump over the required steps of the "purchasing acts," allowing the County to buy emergency services and equipment-- and even daily essentials for affected residents-- faster.
Holguin also explained that the County is looking into state and federal grants to see if that money could be used.
According to Holguin, residents should keep track of all expenses and damages incurred by the flooding in case funding becomes available.
Holguin also shared an update on the flooding in Horizon, saying that the Office of Emergency Management, the Sheriff's Office, the County's Public Works Department, and Emergency Services District #1 have all been out there since Monday working to mitigate the flooding and moving residents to a shelter set up at Horizon High School.
"I believe only a couple of families chose to utilize the shelter yesterday, but the shelter will remain open for several more days if more families choose to utilize it," Holguin added.
Nine water vacuum trucks have been out there since Monday collecting the standing water.
"It's so much water; it's unfortunately going to take some time," Holguin said, adding that the declaration could speed the process up.
Holguin said a list of resources will be personally handed to those affected so they know the help available to them.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office is also said to be working with the Texas Department of Public Safety to use their helicopter to figure out where the water came from.
Meanwhile, in a separate press conference, Deputy Chief Brandon Kovach of the Emergency District Services #1 of the Horizon Fire Department provided an update on the flooding.
According to Kovach, 34 homes are affected, 13 homes have been evacuated, 20 families have sheltered in place, and from the fire department's initial assessment, there are 10 to 12 homes that have moderate to major damage.
While there was some confusion on where the flooding came from, Kovach said the water came down from the Hueco Tank Mountains.
"What ended up happening was an accumulation of water that formed over the Hueco Tank Mountains and then ended up pooling down that, ending up coming down, and ending up becoming a stream and finding a low spot here in this community," Kovach explained.
The update comes as standing water lingered on some properties, including inside homes, as residents worked to recover from flooding that left parts of a neighborhood inundated.
Some of the water was pumped out Monday afternoon, but residents said they are now trying to figure out how to recover from the damage. Residents also said they feel the area has been neglected and raised concerns about how long it took for help to arrive as the water continued rising.
“We've been living here for 40 years, and this is the first time we get flooded. And, almost all of us in this street or this community don't have insurance,” said George, a resident.
Doris Foix, another resident, said many people are unsure what to do next.
“And I think a lot of us, we don't know what to do because this is something new. It's never happened. I lived here for 36 years. So since it's never happened before. This is forcing us to come in and get together,” Foix said.
Horizon Fire Department Deputy Chief Brandon Kovach said crews began receiving reports around 10 a.m. yesterday, but it wasn’t until around 3 p.m. that they started seeing water accumulate in the neighborhood and began implementing an evacuation.
“At that point, we did not have any additional information suggesting that this was going to be a continuous event. And at that point, once we started seeing a pattern and call volumes, then we recognized that there's going to be an increase,” Kovach said.
For those needing assistance, Kovach said there is a shelter at Horizon High School, and it will be available until Saturday.
