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 Ashland The Henry Clay Estate 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 Lexington, MA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.
Home Care Services
Service AreasSince 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.
Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.
The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

“It has been about 6 months since Toni and Angel became caregivers for our father Matthew Dumont. We wanted to let you know how incredible they both have been and how important they are to our family. Both Toni and Angel are so dependable, capable, professional and caring. We have heard from friends that it doesn't always go like that, so we know we lucked out not with one but both women. Additionally, we have heard the numerous news reports of the healthcare shortage and are so grateful that your agency could place caregivers with us so quickly when we first contacted you last summer. There are no words for the peace of mind these two amazing women provide for us, and we give daily thanks you matched them with our dad. Thank you”
“I let your office know today that I have recovered sufficiently that I don’t require ongoing assistance. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful service you provided, and the very caring people who were here to help me through the early part of this recovery. I am so grateful.”
“Dear David and Always Best Care team, as you know, our cousin Marylen S. passed away yesterday morning, peacefully, in her apartment in Brookline. She lived for two months under hospice with the outstanding care and devotion of Monica K.. Monica was experienced, calm, wise, and loving, and she and Marylen grew extremely fond of each other in such a short time. Marylen did not expect to last two months after her hospital discharge, but thanks to the wonderful support she received from Ms. K., she was able to enjoy these final weeks, with visits and calls from many. Thank you so much, Always Best Care, for sending us a true angel. Many thanks, Lynn S.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Best Care Senior Services. David Robinson was able to provide us with excellent service on very short notice. He also was able to accommodate our timing needs based on our personal sleep schedule. Mike our home aide was responsible, kind and attentive to my husband and his needs. I could not recommend this team more highly!”
“Plenty of parking space. Very friendly and welcoming staff”
“Starting with my first, very pleasant contact with the “boss”, David Robinson and his daughter, Monique, and proceeding through the telephone interface with the office staff, color me pleased and grateful. But the rubber hits the road with the care providers. And both were great. I don’t know if anyone had been briefed about me, but formerly with the UN and speaking several languages as well as being an unrepentant foodie, I hit the jackpot with Neseline who, like me, spoke French and Spanish and then LaToya, also like me, who loves to cook and likes hot food. Both were medically informed and delightful companions. I don’t know whether other ABC patients will be as lucky as I but they should know that ABC bends over backwards to meet one’s needs, be they medical, rehab, or scheduling. Last minute changes are accomodated with a minimum of fuss. Future patients, especially old ones like me, will be grateful. Peter Higginson”
“I'm sincerely grateful for the knowledge David shared with me with respect to caring for my family. His valuable thoughts, ideas, and experiences helped guide me. I highly recommend David and his team!”
“I have known Always Best Care led by David Robinson for several years. The entire team is professional and caring all of the time. Excellent caregivers managed by skilled supervisors. I highly recommend Always Best Care for the quality of their care!”
“I’m always looking to grow my network of home care companies and how lucky was I to come across David and ABC! I’ve been working with him on/off for about a year now and he has been THE BEST. Always there to answer my questions, explain things, and do whatever he can to help me; a great mentor. It’s apparent right away how much David cares about his team, clients, and overall just educating people in general about proper home care protocol. I’m so relieved to know someone local, reputable, and knowledgeable who I know will care for my clients like family when the time comes. Thank you, David!”
“David and his team are solid, caring folks, "always" willing to step in and do what's necessary, kind, and important to their fragile and vulnerable clients. I've worked with Always Best Care for over 5 years - always a great experience!”
“we used always best care for a week, post shoulder replacement surgery. the aids were lovely -- kind competent and caring. helped me shower, dress, and figure out how to manage a complicated sling. also did laundry, made us lunch, and unpacked groceries Highly recommend!”
“I’ve worked for Always Best Care since November of 2022 and I can tell you first hand how caring the owner, David Robinson, is. He has a no pressure sales approach and is always willing to provide resources to people whether or not that garners business for himself. He genuinely cares for people and their wellbeing. This sentiment goes beyond our clients and on to our caregivers as well, as he is constantly telling staff how important our caregivers are and encourages us to do what we can to make sure they are happy and taken care of. David, alongside others in leadership roles, are not above working alongside our caregivers. David will work in and outside of business hours to give people rides, run to the store for them, drop off supplies, and has even done a few handyman tasks to clients who ask. His dedication has no limit. The phrase “I really want to help them.” is one I’ve come accustomed to hearing in the office. David loves people and he loves to help where and when he can. I cannot express enough how good it feels to work for someone with this attitude, especially in a field that has so much burn out. David is genuine, kind, and caring. And I can tell you, he expects nothing less from those of us that work with him. I am proud to be part of such a wonderful team.”
“David, Kathy, and Beth lead a phenomenal team. ABC truly stands out as one of the top senior services providers in the greater Boston area. We have loved working with them to provide exceptional care to mutual clients.”
“I used Always The Best Care on two occasions to help place my elderly mother in an assisted living facility. I also hired them to place 24/7 nursing assistant care for a 5 week period. They delivered great value at all steps. It’s clear ABC has a great culture throughout their organization. I highly recommend their services! Warren D Belmont, MA”
“I am so grateful to David Robinson and his staff. ABC came highly recommended to me by various medical professionals when I didn't know where to turn for help in caring for a loved one. During our initial meeting, David's warmth, accessibility, and assurances immediately provided me with confidence in a viable future. With ABC I am not alone in navigating the challenging world of aging. I have since recommended ABC to friends in need and they are as pleased as I am. ABC provides peace of mind and quality of life through its compassionate, exemplary care. Thank you.”
“David Robinson's Always Best Care office is an established, reliable home care agency--one of the best in the Boston area. As a colleague and fellow owner of a home care agency in the community, I can honestly say that Always Best Care provides excellent care and attention to clients and their families. David and his team more than pass the key test, "would I let his office take care of my Mom?". Absolutely. And that is why we are happy to refer cases which we can not cover outside our area.”

“A very positive atmosphere with great staff and endearing caregivers. Staff is always working together to ensure the best care for each client. A wonderful place to work :)”
“Always Best Care is simply exceptional. I turned to them more than a year ago, after another agency’s disappointing, ethically questionable service. And what a difference! In their caregiving and all interactions, ABC is proactive, professional, reliable and compassionate. (Those qualities aren't easily found bundled together). They are also always quick to respond, routinely going above and beyond to ensure the wellbeing of my loved one, and my own peace of mind.”
“Always Best Home Care has consistently been responsive, compassionate, and professional. On two separate highly stressful occasions, when I needed immediate support while trying to get a family member home from the hospital, David showed up within a few hours, sat with me and explained everything and had care in place immediately. All the carers have been kind, patient, and skilled. I highly recommend Always Best!”
“Wonderful caregivers, and wonderful, responsive, caring managers. They know my parent well, and make timely, helpful suggestions for prevention & well-being. Nurse follow-up is stellar. Everyone really cares! As a retired doctor who used to work in a geriatric group,, I can say their care is excellent. Highly recommend!”
“I have been working with always best care for 12 years now, it’s the best company to work with”

You have one of the most caring and dedicated staff I’ve ever worked with in the industry. Always Best Care is like an extended family in our communities and most trusted in their field. Thank you for your wonderful service to our residents. I recommend you highly and will continue to do so. Maria Barbosa-Santos, former Executive Director and Regional Sales HallKeen Management.”
“Cheryl did an excellent job in cleaning my house .She was very proiicient in what she did ,making beds, vacuum, washing bed sheets. Also did Food shopping . I would definitely recommend her specifically for future help & the organization”
“David Robinson and his team at Always Best Care are a true pleasure to work with. They are very responsive, professional, flexible and caring. I recommend them without reservation.”
“I was in Rehab after hip replacement surgery at Emerson Hospital in Concord, MA (which was successful), but the rehab wasn't working out; evaluations but only 1 OT session by the 3rd day, no PT sessions. Also, since I had to use a walker for any functions, very slow to no response to call button. I was put in touch with David Robinson at Always Best Care in Belmont, MA and he immediately came to the Rehab facility to meet me, drove to our home in Wayland, MA to see our house and meet my wife, and arranged for 24 hour home care for me starting the next day. David picked me up at the Rehab and took me home. I and my wife are both 83, and I'm far from being debilatated. But, the several days of 24/hour care were just what was needed to get me over the initial recovery hump and moving around pretty well at home. The at home PT and OT were excellent. My wife, who had a mild stroke a couple of years ago, would have found it very hard to attend to me right out of Rehab. It was an unexpected cost for us, which in retrospect seems like quite a value.”
“My highest recommendation for Always Best Care. They took great 24/7 care of my mother for five years. The PCAs were caring and skilled and developed great relationships with my mother.”
“Prompt, caring service. Highly recommended.”
“Always compassionate and efficient, Always Best Care has been a valuable resource in caring for our elderly mothers. With a wide range of expertise, they are able to assist with everything from residential options, in-home care and geriatric social work.”
“Always Best Care is amazing! They go above and beyond and Nancy has been s so incredible in finding a Memory Care unit for my Dad. I highly recommend Always Best Care for all needs for the elderly in your life.”
“Thank you Always Best Care Sr. for providing a reliable, caring & skilled night-time helper for my sister at her home.”
“Always Best Care took great care of our parents. The same 2 caregivers were there sharing a 24/7 shift for about 2 years. They were wonderful. Always helping out and working with the family's needs. They were loved by my family and we will miss them now that both of my parents have passed.”
“We have help come three times a week for 6 hours. My wife loves the ladies, and they are very kind and respectful to her. I was trying to everything myself, and having the help for the three days, makes it much easier for both my wife and me. The aids are wonderful people. Thanks for providing us with first rate care! Pam and Frank Willwerth”
“Always Best Care provided incredible care and support for me and my family through a challenging period of our lives. It is never easy to admit you need help or allow someone into your home but when we did, we received incredible care and support and gained another family member. Always Best made feel so confident that my parents were receiving the best possible care they could be. It allowed them to stay in their home and that was important. Thank you for all you did to help our family.”
“my mom loves the connections shes made with you all ! she talks highly of what a wonderful asset everyone is . prompt an courteous .”
“Took amazing and attentive care of my grandparents! Couldn’t recommend them more.”
“You could not find a more caring company to work for. To be part of a team that genuinely cares about the clients they care for, staffed well enough to give that care and take responsibility when changes need to take place. I have seen many times the owner, David Robinson, pick clients up who are in need and take care of them when they have nobody else to do so (ie. family living out of state, etc.) You have a team of people who genuinely care about the elderly and people in general.”
“I am a past client of this provider When we needed in-home care for my Dad, we spoke to a number of companies, and were lucky to find this company. They provided exceptional care, companionshipand compassion. As a result we were able to grant my father's wish of staying in his own home. The care provided by Julian was beyond exceptional - it was like having a family member with him.”
“Dear Dory, Twice in the last couple of days Susan has said, “I have a new friend.” She was referring to her friendship with you. I can’t imagine a care taker receiving a finer complement. I want to express my gratitude for the help you give to us, and especially the help you give Susan. The high praise you receive from her comes also from me.”
“I was very happy with the care that Always Best Care provided for my aunt. Kathy, Beth and the home aides were attentive and caring to my aunt's needs and extremely supportive and comforting when I needed it.”
“Always Best Care Boston is, indeed, always the best! Kindness, courtesy, compassion accompany service delivery driven by experience and contemporary professional standards. Teri Weidner, consideritDONE”
“My mother has mixed Alzheimer's and vascular dementia and needed some added care from having a fall and fracturing her hip followed by surgery and 3 weeks of rehab. Rehab was not successful with my mom walking. With mobility issues my mom needs 12-hour aid 7 days a week to avoid further injuries and proper care being immobile at assisted living. I called 6 agencies for an aid/caregiver and with days’ notice Always Best Care Senior Services/Kathleen Chambers made a full commitment to meeting our needs. All the others either did not respond or were not ready to commit. Kathleen committed and has filled our needs everyday for over 3 weeks with 3 very capable, professional and caring aids who worked in conjunction Physical and Occupational Therapy and my mother’s mobility had made great progress. These 3 aids Rena, Esther and Aidah are so great for my mom and our family. Kathy, Rena, Esther and Aidah are all-stars in my eyes.”
“I met with David yesterday to discuss his business and how he cares for his clients. David is truly a genuine, nice man who puts his employees and clients first. He has a welcoming and professional staff working in his office.”
“David Robinson has been above and beyond helpful. He is polite, professional and really cares about doing a job thoroughly and respectfully. I have reached out to him for support for more than one family, and am always thrilled with his responses and support.”
“Hi David! Thank you for saving the day with services for my awesome father. Patience has been an absolute star. My family will definitely miss her. We really appreciate everyone's efforts, kindness, and of course, patience.”
“Other My elderly mom needed care a yr ago right up until she recently passed, And this Agency was by far the best care she could have received. Kathy was such a professional & kind ,caring coordinator & the caregivers were extremely kind, loving, patient & professional as well. They were such a perfect fit for my mom & her needs.The Nurse Beth was also an incredible help & asset to the awesome team. We were so fortunate to have them in our lives for our mom. They are true Angels & I would highly recommend this Agency to anyone who is in need of the best, attentive care ever! Thank You to an incredible Team! Michelle & family”
“Dear David, this text will not do justice but you need to know how much Always Best Care meant to our family. Your team, especially Beth and Kathy, were there to support us in so many ways during this difficult time. You made my dad’s life so much better through his passing and were an integral part of his end of life wishes. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
“I can't say enough about David and his team. I needed in-home care for my husband who was suffering from Alzheimer's. They responded quickly and with great empathy and found a wonderful woman who was kind and gentle with my husband. When I needed memory care David went with me to visit residences and gave me invaluable advice with sensitivity to my situation. If you need any help with caring for and planning for your elderly relative I recommend ABC unreservedly.”
“I am a past client of this provider I can't say enough about how wonderful David and his team at ABC are. I needed in-home care for my husband with Alzheimer's and they responded with great empathy and quickly to find me a wonderful woman who was kind and gentle with my husband. When I eventually need a memory care residence David went with me to tour residences and provided me with invaluable perspectives and information about the world of Alzheimer's care. I could not have gone through this without him and his staff. I recommend ABC unreservedly. The peace of mind they provided meant more to me than I can describe.”
“Finding a place that will take care of your family members can be overwhelming, so I was relieved to find Always. They are flexible and personable and focus on what’s most important when caring for your loved one. Beth and Kathy were always there when I needed something. Rishi, my father’s main caregiver, knew exactly how to handle the challenges of caring for a man who was reluctant about having care in the home. I am so thankful for their support!”
“Dave and his staff at Always Best Care truly helped us when my mom was returning home with her hip replacement. Dave came to my mom's home to assess it and gave us recommendations on how to make her home safer. He made me feel so much better about having a caregiver staying with my mom. We also had a discussion on what type of caregiver my mom needed. My mom wanted to meet her caregiver ahead of time and ABC made it happen. It was a great experience, especially knowing my mom was never alone and she had companionship. Thank you for all your help!!”
“We were referred to Always Best Care by the social workers at MT Auburn Hospital. We were worried because we had heard of the senior caregiver shortage. There are no words for how much peace of mind the two amazing caregivers provide our family in caring for our elderly father. They are both completely warm, dependable, professional, kind and caring. I have heard from friends that it doesn't always go like that, so we are most grateful! In six months, both of my dad's caregivers have come to know my father as a person and genuinely care for his wellbeing. The support they provide is immeasurable.”

“It has been about 6 months since Toni and Angel became caregivers for our father Matthew D. We wanted to let you know how incredible they both have been and how important they are to our family. Both Toni and Angel are so dependable, capable, professional and caring. We have heard from friends that it doesn't always go like that, so we know we lucked out not with one but both women. Additionally, we have heard the numerous news reports of the healthcare shortage and are so grateful that your agency could place caregivers with us so quickly when we first contacted you last summer.

“Rishi worked so hard and my dad loved him. Francis is an outstanding aid too - he’s a hero after what he did last night. You and Kathy helped make this process so much less overwhelming with your support and great communication.”
“David was recommended to me by two different social workers as someone to help us find the right assisted living facility for my mom. He walked me and my sister and partner through the process of narrowing down the choices and selecting the best place. He set up some tours for us and accompanied us on others, putting us in contact with the Executive Directors rather than just the marketers. His advice was unfailingly on target. The placed I wanted to see that he didn't recommend were absolutely wrong for my mom, and the one he suggested as the best fit absolutely was the right one. She ended up there for a respite stay and loves it, but has decided she wants to give in-home care a try before committing to the assisted living option. Luckily, David also has an in-home care business that can help us out with that, too! I feel so lucky to have found a trustworthy person to help me navigate the dizzying options for senior care for my mom.”

He set up some tours for us and accompanied us on others, putting us in contact with the Executive Directors rather than just the marketers. His advice was unfailingly on target. The placed I wanted to see that he didn't recommend were absolutely wrong for my mom, and the one he suggested as the best fit absolutely was the right one. She ended up there for a respite stay and loves it, but has decided she wants to give in-home care a try before committing to the assisted living option. Luckily, David also has an in-home care business that can help us out with that, too! I feel so lucky to have found a trustworthy person to help me navigate the dizzying options for senior care for my mom. One more thing--he always gets back to me right away.”
“David Robinson and his team at Always Best Care are such a caring and genuine group! I've known David since he started his business and he is trust-worthy, honest and genuine in all that he does. David treats all of his clients like family and wants to ensure they get the best care and treatment possible. I can't say enough great things about them!”
“The team who provided round-the-clock services combined a high level of professionalism with caring personal connection. Marie Jean, Sophie Kayinza, Catherine Nakyobe, Joan Nampijja, Husna Wright, Nadine Wumba, and for a while Resty Namaalwa were all kind, attentive, and directive with my mother, keeping her safe, well-groomed, comfortable, and engaged, while encouraging her to eat and drink. I appreciated reading their care notes and receiving in-person and phone updates on my mother's condition. I also enjoyed speaking with them and learning about their life stories. These women are impressive examples of immigration, dedication, and hard work. Sophie is to be commended for her care during my mother's last hours and her kindness to me when I arrived on the scene.”
“To Kathy and David and all the staff, thanks for your wonderful care of my mother in so many ways for 5 years.”
“I wanted to thank you for everything that you and your organization did for me and my family over the last few months. You made everything so easy for me. Glenda and Marie are the best and please relay my deepest thanks to them for what they did for my mom. It was not an easy transition having help in the house and then with the loss of my dad, it was even harder. Thanks again”
“Thank you for your compassionate care and support through the toughest time. I'm very grateful for your presence and expertise.”

“Always Best Care is one of the best companies I have ever worked for! Truly, it's been such a breath of fresh air. The way that David, my co-workers, and everyone involved is so dedicated to the well-being of our clients and caregivers is like nothing I have seen. But also the way we are cared for as employees...everyone genuinely cares and wants to see the best for their co-workers, and for our clients as well! David sets an amazing example for the team by going above and beyond for our clients and caregivers, making it only natural to follow in his footsteps and do our very best as well. We've got a rock solid team of people who are well equipped in each area they serve our clients in, and it's really cool to see everyone working with such passion and compassion. This business is all about relationships and cultivating them well, and I can truly say I'm proud to be part of a team that does this so well. It's a healthy and well-run company with great communication and flexibility. It's hands down one of the best places I have every worked! I heard a phrase once that "people may not remember what you've done for them, but they will always remember how you made them feel." Always Best Care does both--acts of kind service, and leaving a lasting impression on everyone we get to interact with. I would recommend Always Best Care a thousand times over!!”
“I wanted to thank you for everything that you and your organization did for me and my family over the last few months. You made everything so easy for me. Glenda and Marie are the best and please relay my deepest thanks to them for what they did for my mom. It was not an easy transition having help in the house and then with the loss of my dad, it was even harder. I'm not sure what lies ahead for my mom but your assistance definitely helped us get to this point. Thanks again!”
“Thank you ABC/David for the great overnight care you provided for my mom while she was in assisted living! I appreciated Kathy's (the case manager) weekly feedback on my mom's condition and how the evenings went with her providers. I've tried other companion care service providers and yours is the best! I'm extremely thankful and would highly recommend your service to anyone looking for great, conscientious care for their loved ones.”
“Thank you and David and your staff and caregivers for all of your hard work and personal care and attention to Norma. You have been wonderful to work with over the past couple of years and throughout all of the transitioning with Norma’s health. We could not have done our portion of the work without your attentive dedicated assistance. I cannot say enough about how good you have been in managing Norma’s care to help us. Thank you very much!”
“Despite residing in a well-respected retirement community my parents still needed a little assistance in making it a home. The professionals from Always Best Care were like an All-Star team of senior care help, they stepped in and assessed everything from my parents' major concerns down to the subtle little differences that we probably would never have noticed, making what had been a stressful situation immediately more manageable. My family sleeps easier knowing that my parents have settled in, and without the assistance of Always Best Care that was simply not the case. Their experience is only surpassed by their attentiveness and kindness to the needs of the people they are working with.”
“Thank you all for your thoughtful card and for the excellent you all gave my mother. My sister Elizabeth and I greatly appreciate your kind efforts and hard work. I am sure our mother did as well.”
“I have worked for Always Best Care Senior Services for 5 years, mostly as an in-home health care provider for elderly and disabled clients. As an employee of ABC, I have also cared for clients on a one- on- one basis who are in Assisted Living Facilities and Skilled Nursing Facilities. I enjoy my work and my clients. The culture of ABC is that every client is treated as an individual with personal needs and feelings rather than as a case number or diagnosis. ABC’s approach to clients is mirrored in how they treat caregivers. Consideration of the caregiver’s persona is matched with those of the client. The needs of the client are outlined to ensure the caregiver services provided are a comfortable match. I always feel respected, appreciated, and valued in my role and I equally feel the same consideration is provided to my clients. It is a professional, diverse and overall warm working environment. There is an open-door policy for both client and caregiver where open and constant dialogue and feedback is welcome and responded to in real-time. I would recommend working at Always Best Care to anyone in this profession or anyone considering this profession. Annette Vincent”
“I want to say how pleased my mom and I are with Sheila who has now been coming for several weekends. This past weekend I had to ask her to stay longer due to my afib. She was willing and did a wonderful job. Mom likes her very much. David you were correct in saying, when we first met, you try to connect the right person with your clients.”
“I wanted to write a quick note to say how great it is to work with Always Best Care. They were an incredible resource in helping us organize and plan what we needed for a family member in regards to senior care. The staff was extremely professional and compassionate during the whole process.”
“Always Best Care is the premier Homecare agency in the Cambridge area. David and his team are top notch. Their responsiveness is tremendous and caregiver matchmaking is unparalleled. I highly recommend them if you or your loved one is in need of non medical home care!”
“I appreciate you for making it possible for my beloved mom to live out her life in the comfort of her own home. I have no idea how I could have gotten through the past 4 years without your care and the support of your fabulous caregiving team.”
“My family has been extremely pleased with the home care services provided by Always Best Care. The caregiver's sensitivity, positive attitude and hard work have helped us tremendously. I would recommend ABC's senior services whole-heartedly.”
“David, the owner of Always Best in Belmont, asked me to write a review, and I'm glad to do so. He has organized at-home for my mother for half a year now and he and his office staff handled all challenges with grace and patience. I particularly appreciate their willingness to take up small extra tasks and requests.”
“Four years ago, when I needed a knee replacement, I was looking online for in-home caregivers and came across this agency in Belmont. David Robinson, the owner, came out right away to assess my needs--up to the point of picking me up at the hospital after surgery with the caregiver. I just had my second knee done and there were some complications this time, but the team at Always Best Care was on it, sending two alternating caregivers and taking me to follow up appointments. I can't say enough about their compassion, expertise, and cheerfulness. Highly recommend them!”
“I needed transportation back and fourth from the Hospital. I am a senior and Veteran have one leg and lung cancer. I use a walker and need help navigating my ramp. These people are reliable, friendly, courteous and professional. Always on time and very helpful. They deserve 6 stars!”
“A million and thanks! Thank you so much for all of your help screening assisted living sites in the Boston area. Nancy and I appreciate all of your time and efforts and we look forward to choosing one of the communities for me.”
“I am a past client of this provider David, The care that I received from Always Best Care was nothing short of phenomenal. They were able to obtain help quickly and everyone showed up on time. Kathy was a wiz at scheduling Sabina and Mirela. Both ladies were sweet, kind, caring, understanding, and exceptionally helpful. Each of them went above and beyond, playing a role in my recovery. Should the need arise again, I would absolutely reach out to your agency. Thank you, Alex Michaels”
“David: A million and thanks! Thank you so much for all of your help screening assisted living sites in the Boston area. Nancy and I appreciate all of your time and efforts and we look forward to choosing one of the communities for me.”
“Hi David- Just a note to say hello and to follow up with you. Thank you so much for helping my folks and me get set up with your company. This week is the second week that my folks have been working with Sarah (who splits the week with our pre-existing aide), and they love working with her! I am truly grateful for your help. Thank you!”
“I just wanted to send a word of thanks for the care that was given to my uncle, Dwight. In the three days I was able to be at his house, I had no complaints and was very impressed with the care and compassion from each of the caregivers. A difficult time was made better through your service.”
“Just wanted to thank you for sending me your caregiver Kyona. She has an amazing work ethic, is smart, and overall a standout performer. I am so pleased with her and everyone on the team at Always Best Care.”
“Always Best Care provided 24 hour hospice care for my elderly neighbor. Each day during my visits, he would introduce me to the caregiver who he called his Sweetheart and tell me what a great job they were doing to keep him comfortable. Dwight thanks you for the service you provided that allowed him to die with dignity in his own home.”
“I am a past client of this provider ABC was totally helpful, responsive and knowledgeable about the availability of resources for an aging relative with emerging dementia. I recommend them without reservation.”
“This company has been a Blessing!! awesome People that care! they are great communicators, know how to bill insurance companies,,, and oh ya,, the Caregivers that have are 2nd to none,,, Thank you for working with our family!”
“Hi David, Just a short, belated note of appreciation for your help in placing Virginia at the Residence of Watertown Square. She is really doing much, much better and it's a good fit, I am surprised and delighted to say. She is far, far happier than she's been in a long time, and you played a critical role in that.”
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 Willard's Woods 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 Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse Lexington or visit The Loudoun 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 Lexington, MA, 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 Lexington, MA 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 Lexington, MA 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.

Post 1917, a modern steakhouse within a former post office building in Reading, plans to open a second location sometime this summer in downtown Lexington.
Owner and chef Jason Carron admits it’s "a little crazy and fast" — Post 1917's Reading restaurant just celebrated its first year in business on April 18.
“Lexington fell on our lap,” said Carron, 50. “It’s so beautiful in that little small town.”
He said people living in surrounding communities like Concord, Bedford, Arlington and Winchester will now have a new place to dine that offers a great product and experience.
The downtown Lexington location, at 27 Waltham St., has been vacant for more than three years. Carron is having its interior renovated.
The new restaurant will cover two stories, with a dining room on the main level and a function room downstairs. Carron said the dining room will be anchored by a “spectacular” 97-inch chandelier.
“People are going to walk in and be blown away,” he said.
The interior will have the same comfortable, moss-green velvet booths as Reading, but they will be larger and offer more seating. The Lexington restaurant's bar will seat 50 people, bigger than Reading's 35-seater.
The menu at Post 1917 in Lexington will be the same as that of the Reading restaurant, meaning it's almost entirely gluten-free.
“Our seafood is phenomenal," Carron said. "We have a chicken parm that is out of this world. We offer a multitude of choices."
He said he enjoys giving an experience they can’t get everywhere, and it pleases him to have diners approach him at the end of the night to compliment the servers, food, ambiance, vibe and background music.
Carron said he over-preaches to his staff during each pre-shift.
“We’re having a party every night and we’re going to throw the best party, whether it’s a Tuesday or Saturday," he said. "If people are coming in, they want to have an experience, so let’s overdo it in every aspect that we can."
Carron said he plans to open a third location of Post 1917 at 16-20 Medford St. in Somerville next spring. This is part of a brand-new development called The Verge, which is in its early stages.
