The Always Best Care Difference

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in El Paso, 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 El Paso, 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. 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 El Paso, 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 El Paso, 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 El Paso, 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 El Paso, 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 El Paso, 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 El Paso, 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.

Home Care El Paso, 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.

 In-Home Care El Paso, TX

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

lm-right-arrow
01

A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive

lm-right-arrow
02

Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider

lm-right-arrow
03

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 El Paso, 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.

El Paso Times

El Paso is one of the top big cities to live in, according to a report by U.S News and World Report.

The Sun City landed in the No. 2 spot for the publication's "Best Big Cities to Live in the U.S. in 2025-2026" list, beating out other Texas metros like Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Houston. To top the list, a place must earn high scores in criteria such as desirability and quality of life.

El Paso earned the ranking because of its lower-than-average cost of living, warm weather, average commute time, income and rent. According to U.S. News and World Report, El Paso has an average commute time of 21 minutes, a median home value of $175,800, a median household income of $57,754, and a median monthly rent of $883.

The cost of living in El Paso is lower than the national average, and housing costs are significantly lower than those in other major metropolitan areas, including Houston and Austin, the report noted.

Overall, El Paso received a 6.2/10 overall score, alongside first place Oklahoma City.

"Today, El Paso attracts a wide variety of residents with its array of recreational and cultural offerings," the report said. "El Paso gets a bad rap for its proximity to Juarez, Mexico. But the metro area is safer than you might think, and job opportunities here can be found in a number of fields, from government to health care."

El Paso also landed on other lists by U.S. News and Report, including No. 32 in "Best Place to Live in Texas," and No. 56 in "Best Places to Retire."

Here is where other Texas cities landed on the "Best Big Cities to live in the U.S" list:

EL PASO, Texas – On June 9, Texas Tech Health El Paso and The University of Texas at El Paso announced the third cohort of students selected for MedFuture, an initiative that jointly admits talented high school seniors from West Texas to college and medical school in El Paso.

MedFuture aims to uplift students who are passionate about medicine and committed to serving the Borderplex region. Six accomplished high school seniors were selected by a committee made up of faculty and staff from UTEP and Texas Tech Health El Paso. The students received admission to UTEP and conditional acceptance to Texas Tech Health El Paso’s Foster School of Medicine upon completion of their undergraduate degrees.

“We’re proud to welcome our third MedFuture cohort in collaboration with UTEP,” said Richard Lange, M.D., M.B.A., president of Texas Tech Health El Paso. “Each year, this program opens doors for outstanding local students who are passionate about medicine and dedicated to serving our Borderplex community. By investing in homegrown talent, MedFuture strengthens our region’s health care future and helps meet the growing demand for physicians in El Paso and beyond.”

“This program enrolls the best pre-med students in the region at UTEP and prepares them for medical school at Texas Tech in El Paso,” said UTEP President Heather Wilson. “By working together, we can identify and develop exceptional students and educate doctors who want to serve the region.

Meet the Third MedFuture Cohort• Siena Cameron – Montwood High School• Maria Garcia – Clint Early College Academy• Jovanna Gomez – Clint Early College Academy• Mia Gomez – Pebble Hills High School• Melania Joy Martinez – Loretto Academy• LeeAnn Morales – El Dorado High School

Jovanna Gomez, a graduate of Clint Early College Academy, brings a powerful mix of personal motivation and hands-on experience to the third MedFuture cohort. She’s been a volunteer at University Medical Center of El Paso for the past three years. Walking the halls of the hospital and connecting with patients helped solidify her calling.

“I remember being in the elevator when a hospital staff member told me, ‘You really belong here.’ He said he saw me glowing, smiling — and that’s when it really clicked. I realized this is what I want for my future,” Gomez said.

Her passion for medicine also stems from personal loss. After her grandfather passed away from a heart attack, she felt a deep desire to become someone who could help others heal.

“Being the source or the pathway to someone else’s healing—that amazes me. I want to be that person,” she said.

Gomez, who is already a junior in college through her early college program, hopes to become an OB-GYN.This summer, she’ll take another major step in her medical journey, joining the prestigious Carl B. & Florence E. King Foundation High School Summer Program at MD Anderson Cancer Center. She was one of 12 students in the entire U.S. chosen for the research opportunity and will work under Dr. Gary Whitman, director of the department of breast imaging.

Gomez begins the internship just six days after graduating from high school.

“This experience will give me hands-on exposure to diagnostic tools like mammography, ultrasound and MRI — skills that are essential in women’s health,” said Gomez. “This program will help me understand how imaging plays a critical role in diagnosing and treating patients, and it will strengthen both my research and clinical foundation as I prepare for a future in medicine.”

While completing their undergraduate studies at UTEP, MedFuture students benefit from robust pre-med support, including participation in the UTEP PREP summer program to help establish a strong academic foundation.

As the first program of its kind in West Texas, MedFuture brings together two independent universities to create a groundbreaking educational pathway. Beyond preparing students for medical school, MedFuture has the potential to transform the lives of local families by opening doors to high-income careers in healthcare right here in the Borderplex.

Progress of Previous Cohorts

Members of the first MedFuture cohort have led outreach activities by speaking to high school students and hosting an informational table during UTEP’s New Student Orientation. Two members of this inaugural group, Makena Piñon and Max Serrano, were selected for the highly competitive Texas Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP), which guarantees admission to a Texas medical school. The other two students, Janelle Navarrette and Luke Briggs, will begin scribe training this summer and will work at the Texas Tech Physicians of El Paso’s Family Medicine Clinic.

The second MedFuture cohort recently completed their first academic year at UTEP and will follow in the footsteps of the first cohort by beginning their UTEP Summer Research Internship. In addition to research, they’ve participated in professional development workshops. One of the second cohort members, Crystal Armenta, has also been accepted into JAMP.

10 Commandments in Texas classrooms exclusionary, unjust

I agree with letter writer Craig Delman, June 29, that diversity of thought remains important to our society and growth as human beings (he called it “different opinions”). However, I disagree that taking prayer out of schools has caused the state of affairs we are currently experiencing, especially under the hateful rhetoric of many of our politicians.

Delman says that the 10 Commandments are the moral code for all. I agree that this might be true for people of Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant religions. Yet, all includes people from many other religions, humanists, agnostics, and atheists whom you are discounting.

My understanding that Texas is requiring the Protestant King James version of the 10 Commandments be posted in the classrooms. In that version, God says he is a jealous God. How does that promote love and kindness? But more importantly, we are excluding many people with this law and only including those of Protestant faith. Not so Christian in my opinion.

My question for those of you who support this law is: How will teachers explain to grade school or middle school students what this commandment means: … thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass…Exodus 20:17 (King James Version)

My bottom line: posting the 10 Commandments in every classroom is exclusionary and unjust, as is reciting Christian prayers if a child follows another religion (or not). Why can’t we just teach our children to love and respect all humans, animals, and the earth on which we should all live together in peace and harmony.

If Texas insists on the Christian route in public education, then let’s go with one of its major principles: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Allow freedom from any one religion

Allow us to have a different opinion? I wholeheartedly agree! The 10 Commandments, while historical, should not be imposed on everyone by force.

Religious freedom is far more consequential than any one person’s belief, that separation of church and state is the reason for the downfall of moral code.

Please allow everyone to have a different opinion and freedom from any one religion.

Women Warriors Monument name restored

I was told that someone wrote in to the editor about a name on the Women Warriors Monument not being legible. The name is SPC Erica Alecksen, K.I.A. This has been repaired and is able to be seen now.

Please let everyone know that it has been taken care of and if they would like to see it they can come down to the Old Glory Memorial, 9550 Gateway North and visit it. We are there every Wednesday night from 6-9 p.m. during our Food/Craft Family Fun Night event.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

El Paso, Texas, fireworks laws

The El Paso County Commissioners Court voted on June 9 to ban the sale of certain fireworks — rockets with sticks and missiles with fins — for the Fourth of July holiday season in the unincorporated areas of El Paso County. Unincorporated areas include parts of the county that are outside city limits and are not governed by municipal governments such as those of El Paso, Socorro, Horizon City or San Elizario.

The holiday season is from Tuesday, June 24, through midnight Friday, July 4.

This targeted restriction was adopted as a precautionary measure in response to ongoing extremely dry conditions across the region. According to the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI), El Paso County has reached a level of 710, which indicates elevated fire risk and meets the threshold for implementing restrictions.

That means El Pasoans can buy other fireworks from vendors, who have agreed to follow the court's ruling. County officials emphasized that this is not a blanket ban on fireworks. Many types of legal fireworks remain permitted, allowing residents to continue celebrating the holiday with family and friends safely and responsibly.

Where to buy fireworks in El Paso, Texas
