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 Linda Spurlock Park 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 North Richland Hills, 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 Linda Spurlock 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 Niki's Italian Bistro or visit Ball-Eddleman-Mc Farland-House, 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 North Richland Hills, 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 North Richland Hills, 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 North Richland Hills, 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.

DALLAS - Mosquitoes in the cities of North Richland Hills and Lancaster tested positive for West Nile Virus this week.
Health officials are now warning the public and encouraging them to take precautions.
Tarrant County health officials said mosquito samples from three traps in North Richland Hills tested positive for West Nile Virus this week.
Those traps were located in the 6800 block of Glenview Drive, 8500 block of Hightower Drive, and 5700 block of Rio de Janeiro Circle.
The city plans to treat those traps, but as of late 2024, no longer sprays for mosquitoes along streets and alleyways.
Instead, the public is encouraged to take protective measures for themselves and their family.
Dallas County health officials also found positive mosquito samples in the 75146 area of Lancaster this week.
Dallas County does conduct ground spraying, and will spray in that zip code in the coming days, weather permitting. For more information about dates and times, visit http://dallas.leateamapps.com/PublicMap/.
The county reported its first human case of West Nile earlier this summer in the city of Dallas.
All of the recent rain in North Texas means there are more mosquitoes than usual this season.
That’s why doctors and health officials are encouraging residents to take personal safety precautions by practicing the four Ds.
The Source: The information in this story comes from news releases from the city of North Richland Hills, Dallas County Health and Human Services, and an interview with Dr. Natasha Hanners, an infectious disease specialist.
A 21-point third quarter explosion, fueled by Jayshon Gibson, who scored four touchdowns, propelled Richland to a 52-33 win over Haltom in the 65th playing of the “Battle of Fossil Creek” on Friday night at the Birdwell ISD Fine Arts/Athletics Complex.In a nearly flawless first half, Haltom built a 20-17 lead on the strength of its rushing attack, led by the swivel-hipped Vudrico Roberson, and a botched fake punt by Richland.

A 21-point third quarter explosion, fueled by Jayshon Gibson, who scored four touchdowns, propelled Richland to a 52-33 win over Haltom in the 65th playing of the “Battle of Fossil Creek” on Friday night at the Birdwell ISD Fine Arts/Athletics Complex.
In a nearly flawless first half, Haltom built a 20-17 lead on the strength of its rushing attack, led by the swivel-hipped Vudrico Roberson, and a botched fake punt by Richland. But after receiving the second-half kickoff, the Royals struck quickly and often to run off 21 unanswered points and take control of the contest.
“It was a good win for us,” Richland head coach Ged Kates said. “I thought a big turning point was after they scored a touchdown but missed the extra point with only 34 seconds left in the first half, and then us being able to move the ball down and have Beck Spivey hit a 43-yard field goal as time expired was huge.”
The ability to move the ball through the air by Richland was also pivotal, as shown in that hurry-up drive just before half led by quarterback Brett Kates, who was making his first start after a year of backup duty to his older brother, Drew. He hit receivers Aaron Brooks and Ben Sanders on three quick routes to move the ball 37 yards into position for Spivey’s field goal.
In the second half, Kates connected with the versatile Gibson first on a 42-yard screen pass straight up the middle of the field and then again on a 5-yard completion after a bad punt snap gave the Royals the ball on the Buffalos’ 7-yard line.
Gibson ended the evening with four touchdowns — two on the ground from 32 and 12 yards out and two receiving. He had 120 yards rushing and 47 yards receiving.
Kates finished 13 of 17 for 202 yards and three TDs. He was perfect in the second half, completing all seven of his passes.
“It was a good first game for Brett,” Ged Kates said. “He’s been around the game a lot and sees the field real well.”
Haltom had another stellar performance by the highly touted running back Roberson, who finished with 208 yards on 28 carries and two touchdowns from 9 and 5 yards out. His longest run of the night was 55 yards in the first half, and he also had a burst of 32 yards in the second half. However, most impressive were his shorter gains when he seemed bottled up by the Richland defense.
The Buffalos also got good production from running back KJ Parks and quarterback Dominique Mounivong. Parks rushed for 39 yards and a touchdown in the first half, and Mounivong connected with Elijah Lewis for a 27-yard touchdown late in the game.
Parks also scored on a 96-yard kickoff return at the end of the third quarter.
Richland did make adjustments defensively in the second half, forcing Haltom to go to a more pass-oriented offense once it fell behind.
“We got really good play tonight from our linebackers, and I thought we adjusted well in the second half,” Ged Kates said.
Next week, Richland travels to Colleyville Heritage, while Haltom will host Mansfield Lake Ridge.

A new Cajun seafood concept is coming soon to North Richland Hills: Called Cocodrie’s Bayou Kitchen, it’s at 5209 Rufe Snow Dr. in the former Rock & Tacos taco shop, which closed in December. According to owner Jesse Gibson, it's on track to open in September.
Gibson is a transplant from Louisiana who’s been involved in a number of local Cajun restaurants, and whose family works in the fishing and shrimp distribution industry.
In 2017, he opened The Wild Cajun, a mobile seafood business in North Richland Hills. "Cocodrie’s lets us feature what we do with The Wild Cajun in a restaurant setting,” Gibson says. (He also helped found Terrebonnes, another Cajun restaurant, in Fort Worth, but he’s no longer involved.)
Cocodrie's is his newest venture, influenced by a fishing village in the south of Louisiana called Cocodrie.
“Cocodrie — meaning “alligator” in French — is where folks go to unwind, a place of camps, crawfish boils, and fishing trips,” Gibson says. “Cocodrie’s Bayou Kitchen celebrates the culture, community, and coastal flavors that define our home.”
They’ll serve items such as shrimp and oyster po'boys, boudin balls and eggrolls, smoked redfish, and seafood boils. Gator will also have a heavy presence on the menu from gator po’boys to baskets.
The restaurant will be counter service, similar to Torchy's Tacos or Bayou Cat in Arlington, where customers place orders at the counter and retrieve their food when it’s ready.
The restaurant will have a full bar and eventually a speakeasy. There will be a specialty store inside as well, selling products that Gibson says are hard to come by outside of Louisiana, including seasonings, jambalaya mix, gumbo mix, and etouffee.
"'Cajun' is an overused term," Gibson says. "A lot of people think it’s spicy food, but it’s so much more than that. I want to emphasize more of the culture, where we’re from and how we do things outside the food itself.”

Titan will be one of the many luchadors wrestling at MLW Fightland on Sept. 13 in North Richland Hills.
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas — After hosting a successful show earlier this year, Major League Wrestling is returning to North Texas a second time this September for Fightland, and bringing even more lucha libre action.
One of the new names to appear this time is Titán, a world-renowned luchador who has competed all over the world, particularly in Japan as part of New Japan Pro Wrestling's group, Los Ingobernables de Japon (LIJ).
Titán has only worked in Texas a few times prior to this show. Most recently, he wrestled last month in Arlington at Ring of Honor's Supercard of Honor, where he lost to Nick Wayne in an ROH World Television Championship match.
(Editor's note: The following quotes were translated into English by an interpreter during the interview.)
"I'm really amazed to be in Texas," Titán said. "I love the food, I love the culture. Recently, I've been there working, not just wrestling. I enjoy it a lot and it's a place I really love."
Titán is one of the many wrestlers from Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) competing on the show. There are a number of CMLL wrestlers, considered legends in Mexico, who will be working on the show, including Atlantis, Blue Panther, Ultimo Guerrero and Volador Jr.
"In MLW, there are too many legendary wrestlers," he said. "It's an honor for me to be part of this big event in MLW."
CMLL has been on fire the last couple of years. Titán and other luchadors on the show compete on multiple CMLL shows every week in front of thousands of fans, and regularly draw more than 10,000 fans to their big show every Friday in Mexico City.
Titán said fans who come to the Fightland can expect to see CMLL wrestlers give everything to show them why CMLL is one of the best wrestling companies in the world.
In his 17 years as a professional wrestler, Titán said that right now is the best part of his whole career.
"To be in Arena Mexico, Guadalajara, Puebla, [Arena] Coliseo, and see the sell-outs, it's so amazing for all of us," he said. "There's a lot of motivation, and if CMLL is doing great things right now, for sure, there will come better things for the company."
Perhaps the highlight of Titán's career so far was wrestling in the finals of NJPW's 2023 Best of the Super Juniors tournament, where he was defeated by Master Wato in nearly 25 minutes. The match was universally praised and earned a five-star rating from prominent wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer.
LIJ recently disbanded, but Titán said it's his hope for all of LIJ to wrestle together in the ring one more time.
"Even if that doesn't happen, we are so happy with what we did over the years," he said. "I learned a lot of things to be part of [LIJ], not only about wrestling, but also the character."
Japan is known for a more hard-hitting, sports-based style than typically seen in U.S. wrestling. Titán said he's had to adapt somewhat when he's wrestling outside of Mexico, be that in the U.S. or in Japan.
"I have the preparation to adapt to any style of lucha libre," he said. "Of course it's complicated, the Japanese style, but with the experience that I have, it's not that complicated for me right now."
Titán said it's one of his goals to wrestle even more in the U.S. and in even more countries all over the world.
