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 the historic The Grassy Knoll 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 Dallas, TX is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“Dear Mr. Gardner, I am writing to express my gratitude for the commitment and service of your employee, Shameka Kelly. Through your agency, Ms. Kelly was connected to our family to serve as a caregiver for my sister Victoria who was in the late states of ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease and required 24-hr. care at home. Shameka served as full-time caregiver under the direction of Victoria’s husband Ron, who was able to keep my sister at home until her passing this past March. This catastrophic and incurable disease rendered my sister completely paralyzed—wheelchair bound, unable to speak, bathe, eat or even lift a finger to do anything for herself. Shameka did what most caregivers would not or simply could not do because of the stamina and patience required to care for Victoria. Before Shameka, we hired a multitude of caregivers who came and went—sometimes only after one day—because of how strenuous and taxing being a caregiver to my sister was. Day after day, Shameka arrived for the job with a smile on her face and the patience and commitment to go with it. My sister Victoria grew to love Shameka, as we all have. It was a great comfort to us because we knew that if Shameka was on duty, my sister was in good hands. Shameka’s character, integrity, humor, honesty and professionalism are beyond reproach. She is an extremely caring individual who is always upbeat, optimistic, and patient. She was an answer to prayer for our family and became more than a caregiver—she became part of our family. She has my highest recommendation for any task or client that may be placed before her. And we will be forever grateful. Kindest Regards, Pamela Meek North Richland Hills, TX”

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 Klyde Warren Park 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 The Mansion Restaurant or visit John Neely Bryan Cabin, 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 Dallas, 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 Dallas, 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 Dallas, 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.
One of our favorite classic Dallas restaurants, S&D Oyster Company, has been serving fresh seafood in Uptown for almost 50 years.

One of our favorite classic Dallas restaurants, S&D Oyster Company, has been serving fresh seafood in Uptown for almost 50 years. It’s housed in a refurbished historical building and focuses on New Orleans-style fried shrimp and oysters. Next week, the iconic spot is getting an exciting addition. On Friday, August 29, Bellomy Hospitality Group (owners of S&D Oyster Company and Rex’s Seafood & Market) is debuting a “hidden” New Orleans-inspired cocktail lounge above the seafood restaurant called Caché.
Bellomy acquired S&D Oyster in 2023 from original owners Herb and Mary Kay Story. Fun fact: It’s named after the couple’s first two children, Stephanie and Doak. S & D would have an extra C in its name if the couple had waited to open a year later, when their third child, Charlie, was born.
“Our parents would drive us to S&D when we were kids, and it’s been a staple for the city for as long as we can remember,” says co-founder Ryan Bellomy in a press release. “Herb and Mary Kay Story brought the flavors of the Gulf Coast to Dallas in 1976, and the New Orleans-style courtyard and patio that was added in 2014 has been a favorite spot for us. We were honored in 2023 when Herb allowed us to acquire S&D, and we take seriously our responsibility to preserve this piece of our city’s history.”
Designed by Jones Baker, the new lounge is tucked above the favorite Dallas seafood restaurant in an intimate 600-square-foot space. The cozy space boasts vaulted ceilings, original red brick, plank wood paneling, a crystal chandelier, velvet drapery, an antique-mirrored wood-burning fireplace, and a balcony overlooking S&D’s courtyard. The interior also uses deep greens, brass accents, and some pops of red to evoke a romantic New Orleans vibe.
“We wanted to honor S&D’s legacy while creating something completely new — a warm, inviting lounge where guests can enjoy world-class cocktails and small plates in an elevated, intimate setting, building on the tradition and spirit of S&D,” says Bellomy.
The cocktail program will be run by Shane Scully, who most recently served as Beverage Director at Petra and the Beast (before it closed last year). As Caché’s Beverage Director and General Manager, Scully traveled to New Orleans to explore its cocktail culture. This resulted in a menu of signature drinks like the Oyster Co. Martini (a twist on the Vesper with roasted Gulf oyster shells infused into the vodka), the Café Brûlée — blending the New Orleans café brûlot with an espresso martini —, and the “elevated” Hurricane (Hurricanrana) with Worthy Park 109 and spiced rum blend, lemongrass fassionola and lime.
Caché will also have a solid wine program curated by Advanced Sommelier Jesse Rodriguez, who was once Head Sommelier at The French Laundry. At opening, the wine list will feature 18 selections by glass and bottle. They hope to eventually expand to 70 wines later in the fall.
And there will be bites to enjoy with cocktails and vino. Some highlights, also New Orleans-inspired, include panko-crusted deviled eggs with Creole filling, black-eyed pea hummus, steak tartare, caviar service, and a charcuterie & cheese board.
There’s only seating for 35 at Caché, and it’s first-come come first-served serve so best to get there early. Guests can enter on Boll Street or an elevator available inside S&D Oyster.

The first White Castle burger in Texas is expected to open in The Colony in summer 2026, a spokeswoman for the fast-food company confirmed to The Dallas Morning News.
Notorious for its square sliders sold in the Midwest and northeast, White Castle has never expanded to Texas in its 104-year history. It has just a handful of stores west of the Mississippi River, in Arizona, Minnesota, Missouri and Nevada.
Texas’ first White Castle will be at Grandscape, one of Dallas-Fort Worth’s biggest retail and restaurant developments. a mega-center on State Highway 121 backed in part by billionaire Warren Buffett. The leasing team for Grandscape has been known to travel far and wide, like to Bangalore, India, to entice the owners of Windmills micro-brewery to expand into North Texas. (And they did.)
“Cravers everywhere have been telling us Texas is a crave worthy place to grow,” said Jamie Richardson, White Castle vice president. “That time is now.”

The company celebrated the expansion into Texas with an announcement at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 21, 2025, at Grandscape, near the plot of land where the restaurant will be built.
The restaurant is known for its small-sized cheeseburgers with steam-grilled onions. Since news broke that the company was eyeing Texas, Dallas Morning News readers had plenty to say.
New York native Gregg Mavico, who grew up going to White Castle but has gone without now that he lives in Lantana, south of Denton, said White Castle’s entry into Texas is a long time coming. He and his friends “couldn’t go out on the town without a stop for some ‘Belly-Bombs’ at the WC.” Burgers cost 12 cents.
And remember how we said the sliders are small?
“We know a guy who downed 36 [burgers] at one sitting,” Mavico said.
It isn’t clear yet if White Castle executives have further plans for expansion in Dallas-Fort Worth or Texas at large.
Most chain restaurants that expand into Dallas-Fort Worth, like Portillo’s, In-N-Out Burger, Torchy’s Tacos and Sweetgreen, started with several locations.
White Castle is expected to open at Grandscape in The Colony in summer 2026.

Fast-food burger joint White Castle is set to make a “Texas-sized announcement” in Dallas-Fort Worth.
On Thursday, Aug. 21, 2025, White Castle executives will appear at Grandscape in The Colony. The company is “ready to shine in the Lone Star State,” an invitation said, more than 100 years after it was founded.
The restaurant is known for its small, square sliders. The Original has a thin beef patty, steam-grilled onions and a pickle slice. Other options abound, like a bacon and cheese slider; crispy chicken; breaded fish; and double meat, double cheese. Because of the burgers’ petite size, customers often order more than one slider.
White Castle has no restaurants in Texas right now.
Fans on social media have joked about driving hundreds of miles from Texas — to Missouri, Nevada, Kentucky and beyond to get a taste of White Castle’s signature onion burger.
The 2004 comedy Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle shared the company’s name and food with a new generation of burger fans.
Based on information from White Castle, it seems possible the first-in-Texas appearance will be in Grandscape. We expect to share details from White Castle and Grandscape soon.
Grandscape is a $1.5 billion development on State Highway 121 in The Colony, near the Dallas North Tollway. Considered the biggest restaurant village in North Texas, Grandscape was home to Texas’ first Portillo’s when it opened in 2023. The development also boasts a Scheels sporting goods store that’s 13 times the size of most big-box stores, The Dallas Morning News reported.
Should the restaurant make its Texas debut, it’s reasonable to expect long lines: The Dallas-Fort Worth openings of other beloved chain restaurants like In-N-Out Burger, Dave’s Hot Chicken and Jollibee were met with adoring fans willing to drive and wait for hours.

The latest Dallas restaurant from brothers Brandon and Henry Cohanim, co-founders of Feels Like Home, which owns West Village’s Namo and Bar Colette, is finally opening after a delay. When we first spoke with the team about their upcoming modern European restaurant last summer, plans were to open that fall. But it’s okay because Mamani will debut on September 2, and we’re just as excited about it.
Mamani will open at The QUAD, a reinvention of Dallas’ first mixed-use development, the Quadrangle. Over the past year, several hot spots, including the flagship of Domodomo K? (which we recently named one of the 10 best omakases in Dallas), New York-based Two Hands, and the second outpost of Bishop Arts’ Written by the Seasons, have opened in the revamped development.
In May 2024, Brandon told us that “Uptown is like the new downtown for business. We also like that [The QUAD] is close to upscale hotels like The Ritz-Carlton, The Mansion, and the upcoming Four Seasons hotel on Turtle Creek.”
Designed by architectural firm Omniplan, each restaurant space at The QUAD is housed within a stand-alone bungalow. Mamani is housed in the largest bungalow at 5,200 square feet.
The interiors were helmed by London-based Bryan O’Sullivan Studio, best known for designing the restaurant in London’s famous Claridges Hotel. The Mamani space includes two dining rooms with “pastel, ombré-effect plaster walls, marble architraves, and custom end-grain flooring.” There’s also a private dining room, a bar “clad in rich burl paneling and fitted with an onyx niche for bottles and glassware behind,” as well as stained glass details throughout. An air-conditioned garden terrace looks over Routh Street for al fresco dining.
Mamani is named after the Cohanim brothers’ grandmother, who split her time between Paris (where she was born) and the South of France. Penne arrabiata also had to be on the menu because it was something their family always ordered at restaurants when they grew up in Los Angeles. “Even if it wasn’t on the menu, it was in the middle of the table,” Henry says in a release.
Over a year ago, the brothers connected with French-born chef Christophe de Lellis, who was in a high-profile role at the three Michelin-starred Joël Robuchon restaurant in Las Vegas, and convinced him to come to Dallas to open Mamani.
“If I were in Paris, I’d call it ‘bistronomie,’” says De Lellis. This is a “French cooking movement that reinterprets bistro cooking using the most sophisticated techniques and the finest, most premium seasonal ingredients.” Highlights on the opening menu include vitello tonnato, mushroom tart, Maine lobster, wild Dover sole, 22-ounce dry-aged ribeye, veal “Cordon Bleu,” whole duck, Paris-Brest, and of course, penne arrabiata.
Bar Director Rubén Rolón is crafting the cocktail program that will have a focus on Negronis, while Wine Director Allie Naught’s wine list will spotlight white Burgundies from France.
“We want people to come casually on a Tuesday or Wednesday, and have a laid-back, relaxed experience,” says Brandon. “We also want them to come when they close a big deal and celebrate, and get some great Champagne, and there’s great music and a great vibe.”
The Cohanim brothers will also be opening a bakery, The Bread Club, next door to Mamani this winter.
