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 Town Clock, Cannon Barrel 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 Conway, SC is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“Always Best Care has been a lifesaver for our family. We have worked with them twice, both in emergency situations and they have treated us as if we were their only clients. Within an hour of our first call, we had paperwork completed and a caregiver on the way – and that was a holiday weekend. When the second emergency occurred, we knew exactly who to contact. We truly appreciate everything that Lisa, Melissa and the entire team have done for our family.”
“Thank you for the care you gave to my dad. He did not have any family living close to him. My sister and I were relived to know he was well taken care of. The caregivers truly care about your loved ones.”

“I am a past client of this provider Always Best Care was just absolutely wonderful. I needed to qualify people who could deal with my sister with brain cancer. My sister would throw people in and out of her house; it was crazy. She died on December 5th. Always Best Care sent incredible people. I don't know where they came from, but they had one girl who was the only person my sister never attempted to throw out of the house. I'd never hear one bad word about this woman who was actually pulling double shifts at the end because my sister liked her so much. For some reason, this woman understood my sister and brain cancer. Brain cancer is hard to deal with because people could be pretty mean and abusive and they don't know what they're doing really. My sister was also going blind at the same time. It was not easy. I just wanted to say what wonderful care we received from Always Best Care. It was amazing. They were just coming and being there. My sister was crazy, and she didn't want anybody overnight, until she finally let me have someone come in overnight. On that night, she died. She got to die in her home, which is what I'm trying to do because that too was the most important thing of all. Always Best Care was able to staff at short notice and send really good people. I was impressed, and I would highly recommend them. They would help my sister get to the bathroom. She weighed 70 pounds when she died, but she was still able to walk. She had cancers on both her femurs, and her blood pressure was 80/47. They just helped with everything, like fixing her small meals, fixing coffee, and talking to her if she wanted to talk or not talking to her if she didn't want to talk. They were just very great with their help. My sister had brain cancer and she was belligerent. Always Best Care would find people within their staff. Also, it didn't take them long, I didn't have to wait. We had letters from others saying they don't have staff right now. With Always Best Care, I did it over the phone with a woman who was a Godsend. I think the caregiver was sent almost the first day and was there every day except on the weekend when they sent someone else. That person seemed to work out OK, too, which amazed me. For some reason, these people knew how to appease someone who is really crazy. It was the cancer; it was in my sister's head. You have to be tough-skinned and just realize that this is the disease talking to you and not a person. They were able to do that, and I feel very blessed.”
“I love working for this company.”
“I used this nursing service for my cousin Pat who had cancer. I can not express the level of care and compassion that was shown for her. The nurses felt like family! Especially Alicia. You treated my cousin as if she was your family and I can't thank you enough for that. You not only took care of her but us also. I would recommend this service 100%! We only used them for 1 month as my cousin passed quickly. I d not have a single negative remark. Thank you Chuck! Your nurses are amazing.”
“I love being able to work with this company, the owners are great people and support me daily! We have many calls to work on performance and continue to grow and learn!”
“Services were geared according to need. We were looking at rehab and they were willing to see what was needed. Very flexible and focused needs of patient All caregivers were on time We had a great experience”

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 Riverfront 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 Rivertown Bistro or visit Horry County 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 Conway, SC, 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 Conway, SC 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 Conway, SC 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.

The city of Conway is planning to increase its upcoming fiscal year budget by 27%, adding 23 new full-time jobs, giving its staff pay bumps and raising taxes.
Conway leaders on Monday, May 19, moved forward with a nearly $109 million budget. Council must take one more vote on the budget before the end of the current fiscal year. That could happen as soon as the next meeting, June 2.
The $108,979,864 proposed budget is up from the current $86 million budget for fiscal year 2024-25.
City Finance Director Allison Williams said the 27% increase is due to $9 million in re-budgeted items — for incomplete projects and equipment that will not be purchased until next fiscal year — and $7.5 million that the city has to pay to the S.C. Department of Transportation for the U.S. 701 North widening project.
City council’s first vote on Monday was accompanied by a public hearing, with one city resident speaking in opposition of the proposed spending plan.
“It seems like Conway is getting a little crazy with your tax increases,” said David Conti, who lives on Augustus Drive. “I can’t believe you can’t balance the budget for less than one-hundred million dollars.
“You can’t work with what you have coming in? … You can’t give us a break?”
The tax hike will raise the current millage from 95.3 to 98.1.
This means someone with a home valued at $400,000 would pay $45 more for annual property taxes — costing $1,570, up from $1,525.
Taxes on a $300,000 property would be $1,177, up $33 from $1,144. A property valued at $200,000 would cost $785, which is $22 higher. And taxes on a $100,000 property would be $392 — up $11 from the current $381.
Before Monday's vote, councilman William Goldfinch attempted to justify the 27% increase. He said Conway does not have the tourism like other coastal cities.
“Our revenue has to come from the folks who live here,” he said. “And it’s important to keep that in mind.”

Health Care Partners of South Carolina’s new Conway facility is just what the doctor ordered for a healthy population, and a healthy downtown business district.
The new $18 million health center will consolidate HCPSC’s scattered Horry County operations and bring more than 100 employees under one roof on a 5-acre tract at 1500 Fourth Avenue in Conway.
Officials have already demolished the abandoned strip mall that occupied the site, and broke ground for the two-story, 5,500-square-foot health center at a ceremony on Friday, May 16.
The health center “will be a hub for whole-person care,” HCPSC CEO Santina Mayo told a crowd of about 75 that gathered on the asphalt parking lot, where a pile of dirt had been dumped for the ceremonial shoveling.
Mayo said HCPSC will be able to expand services in the spacious new building, adding about 10 additional providers plus their support staff. Existing services like primary care, behavioral health, pediatrics, diabetes care, and substance abuse disorder, dental and pharmaceutical services will be augmented by new services including women’s health.
HCPSC is a nonprofit health care organization that provides high-quality care to all persons regardless of their ability to pay.
“Their legacy of service to the underserved and under-insured speaks volumes about their commitment to health equity and community well-being,” said State Sen. Kent Williams (D-Marion), who represents state Senate District 30, which includes Conway. HCPSC serves residents of Horry, Florence and Marion counties.
Conway City Administrator Adam Emrick said the new health center will be a catalyst for growth and economic activity by bringing a large workforce and thousands of patients to the downtown.
It could also lead to further development by encouraging property owners and developers to extend the downtown business core west on fourth and fifth avenues.
“We are out of space in our downtown buildings,” Emrick said, referring to the downtown core branching off Main Street.
“If we’re going to continue to prosper, we must be able to grow our downtown; this is crucial to our success,” Emrick said. “We need more groups like Health Care Partners to take a look at their operations and say 'it’s time, we’re ready to grow, because Conway is ready to grow with you.'"
HCPSC Board Chairman George Williams Jr. said the organization also hopes to partner with the city to install a small public park on a wooded area to the rear of the property.
Mashburn Construction of Myrtle Beach is the general contractor for the build — a two-story, red-brick building that will give the health organization room to grow. Completion is expected in the fall of 2026.
Mashburn company director Josh Kay told the crowd Friday that the company seeks out “projects that will meet our vision of building better communities. This project screams that from the top of the mountain.”
HCPSC has been providing health care services since 1978, said Dr. Jeanne Halyard, who said she has watched the organization grow “from a small clinic with 10 employees … to a regional health-care provider with over 150 employees.”
Mayo said the new facility should serve as a springboard for additional growth. She said HCPSC currently has about 16,000 patients, but aspires to nearly double that number to about 30,000.
HCPSC also has offices is Marion and Johnsonville, and serves rural areas with mobile units offering medical, dental and eye-care services.
Mayo said they also have small buses that provide transportation for patients.
The new Conway complex will also be accessible via public transportation. It’s located just steps away from Coast RTA’s Conway bus terminal on Third Avenue.

CONWAY, S.C. — There is no mystery as to what happened to the Gators in their two losses to East Carolina in the NCAA Tournament.
Starters Liam Peterson (Friday) and Pierce Coppola (Sunday) managed to record only 10 outs combined, with Coppola lasting into the top of the third inning Sunday before exiting an 11-4 loss that ended Florida's season. The Pirates advanced to face host Coastal Carolina on Sunday night in the Conway (S.C.) Regional.
Peterson lasted only 1 1/3 innings in Friday's 11-6 loss to the Pirates, and on Sunday, Coppola escaped trouble in the first inning after loading the bases with a walk, hit batsmen and a bunt single. Two strikeouts opened the door for his early escape. But in the second inning, a walk, two singles and a throwing error by third baseman Landon Stripling proved too much to overcome, even as Coppola struck out the final three batters of the inning. East Carolina scored two runs, and after Justin Nadeau's single scored Stripling in the top of the third to make it 2-1, Florida's momentum quickly stalled when Coppola walked East Carolina leadoff hitter Ryley Johnson in the bottom of the frame.
That was the end of Coppola's afternoon at Springs Brooks Stadium. In two innings, he allowed three hits, three runs (two earned), walked three, struck out five and hit a batter. Meanwhile, Pirates freshman Lance Williams limited the Gators to three runs over five innings.
East Carolina (35-26) scored five runs in the third and led 7-1 after three innings, the same recipe the Pirates used in Friday's win when they led 6-0 after three innings. The Pirates scored 22 runs and pounded 27 hits in the two wins over Florida.
For the Gators, their season ends for the first time since 2022 somewhere other than the College World Series. Florida (39-22) surprised most by even making the NCAA Tournament after starting 1-11 in the Southeastern Conference. However, despite numerous injuries and a shaky pitching staff at times, the Gators won 14 of their final 18 conference games to earn an at-large bid.
They were the No. 2 seed in the Conway Regional but were ambushed by No. 3-seed East Carolina twice.
PLAYER OF THE GAME: ECU first baseman Austin Irby proved a pain in Florida's side. Irby went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI and three runs scored Sunday. That came after he was 4-for-5 with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's victory over the Gators.
IN THE SPOTLIGHT: The 6-foot-7 Coppola arrived at Florida as a promising prospect from New Jersey whose career has been derailed by injuries. Still, he opened the season as the No. 2 starter and pitched excellent in wins over Air Force and Dayton (10 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 20 SO). However, after a short outing against Miami on March 1, Coppola missed more than two months until returning to the mound May 4 at South Carolina. The hope was that Coppola could regain his form and provide a boost to the rotation with former starter Jake Clemente moved to a late-inning role. Instead, Coppola struggled Sunday and threw only 26 strikes in his 57 pitches.
KEY MOMENT: None loomed bigger for Florida than when head coach Kevin O'Sullivan walked to the mound to remove Coppola after back-to-back balls to Colby Wallace in the third. Coppola walked Ryley Johnson to lead off the inning, which prompted O'Sullivan to call on reliever Billy Barlow, who grew close to Coastal Carolina's campus in North Myrtle Beach. It was not a good homecoming performance. Barlow faced three batters and gave up three hits. By the time Clemente took over and got out of the inning, East Carolina led 7-1.
QUOTE OF NOTE I: "They beat us handily two times. Obviously, it's always tough when your season comes to an end. You can see the pain they are going through right now. I care about these guys. The resiliency they showed this year, it's just tough. East Carolina deserves to move on. We'll get back to Gainesville, have our exit meetings and prepare for next year." — Gators head coach Kevin O'Sullivan
QUOTE OF NOTE II: "I thought our offense was good. We continued to put pressure on them with our short game and stealing bases. I knew that makes them uncomfortable." — ECU coach Cliff Godwin
UP NEXT: Florida's season comes to an end at a road regional for the first time since 2019 when the Gators were eliminated in the Lubbock (Texas) Regional. Florida's streak of never winning a regional title after losing its first game remains intact.
