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 Historic Travellers Rest Historic House Museum 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 Nashville, TN is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

Their dedication to providing top-notch senior services is evident in the genuine relationships they build and the thoughtful care they deliver.”
“"Best care" was definitely our experience with Always Best Care Senior Services. After a family member visiting Nashville was stranded in a hotel room following a fall, we were desperate for help. Friday evening at 7PM isn't a great time to go looking for help, but Stacey jumped in and by 9PM we had the support we needed to get us to the next morning's flight back home. Our nurse Eunice was friendly, communicative, anticipated our needs and made us immediately at ease. Ours wasn't the typical case, but I'm sure the urgency and care Stacey and Eunice showed us IS typical for them!”
“We so appreciated the team at Always Best Care was amazing! Stacie listened to what I needed and helped me find just the right fit AND has continued support as I navigate all the details!! Fantastic organization!”
“Hello! I've just retired from ABC Senior Services - Philadelphia PA I was with the company for 7 years 3 months as a caregiver.

“I been with them for over7 years”
“I have been a caregiver for this company for 8 years plus. The office staff are incredible and the caregivers pour their whole hearts into caring for others.

“I am extremely grateful for the home care services ABC offers. Their staff is absolutely phenomenal. Very professional, dependable and caring. The support staff for scheduling and billing are very courteous and easy to do business with.”
“I’d like to take a moment to thank you and everyone at Always Best Care for the assistance and great care provided to my mother following her stroke. After a lengthy stay in a rehabilitation center, mom was very clear that she wanted to go home. The stroke had unfortunately robbed her of her independence, and to go home, we would need round-the-clock care. Always Best Care came into our family at that point and made it possible for mom to be at home for over 20 months. Maintaining continuity of care and finding the right match of caregivers is no east task. There are so many moving parts that go into making that happen day after day, and somehow your team made it look easy. Coordinating staffing around last-minute callouts, illness, incompatible personalities, holidays, family dynamics, etc. These and other challenges did arise, but the important thing is that you reliably found solutions. Through a challenging state in my mother’s life, and for our entire family, your caregiver and office staff provide the support and peace of mind we needed. We’ve been very fortunate along the way to have many wonderful caregivers, and I’ve personally enjoyed getting to know them, I want to emphasize that you have very special people on your team. Thank you for supporting our family and caring for my mother!”
“We have been accessing Always Best Care’s wonderful staff in recent months to go along with my husband to doctor’s appointments. I’ve lost track of how many times, but it’s been frequent. And every one of their caregivers have been outstanding. So wonderful to know you can rely on the people at ABC!”
“Can't say enough nice things about the caregivers from ABC. Professional, personal, reliable, we feel so fortunate to be working with them.”
“I was in need of someone to be with my husband for 8 hours while I had to be away from home. I was a little nervous since we had never used this type of service before. The two ladies who interviewed us and explained the procedure could not have been nicer and more professional. When the caregiver Rhonda arrived, she immediately put us at ease. She was very efficient in making sure she had my husband’s medicine doses correct and in asking questions pertinent to his Parkinson’s. When I returned home, they both seemed to have had a great time looking at my husband’s extensive photography collection and watching westerns on TV. We will most definitely use Always Best Care again!”
“Always Best Care goes above and beyond! They treat you and your loved ones like family. When faced with the difficult decisions that come along with caring for a senior, they showed compassion and helped guide us with confidence. My family can not recommend them enough!”
“A very kind review from a client's family member that was received today. We are grateful to have such wonderful families to work with and take care of in addition to great staff like Stacey Leverette. To Whom it May Concern, I would like to recommend Always Best Care Senior Services. My experience with them has been great! My father had advanced Parkinson's disease as well as some other physical problems. He finally got to the place he needed some assistance. I contacted Stacey and she came out and met with my dad and myself. She was very knowledgeable and thoroughly answered all the questions and concerns for us. More than anything else, she calmed all the concerns that my father had. In a very short time Stacey had someone on site. We've had days where we needed to change the day or time of service because of appointments, holidays or something else. When that occurs, I simply call Stacey and give her the information and she makes the adjustments in a seamless manner. If you work with her for a little bit, you will see quickly that she is very good at what she does. It has been a very good experience. I recommend Always Best Care. Yours Sincerely, Bill A.”
“This is an amazing company! I work at a senior living community and we love having ABC come in our community to be an extra support to our residents. Casie will take good care of you!”
“Stacey is so knowledgeable and a great resource for senior care.”
“The best company I've ever worked for, we're all a team and strive to give the best care we possibly can to our clients and families!”
“Always Best Care exceeded my expectations! Their caring staff helped make mine and my family's lives so much easier when we were in need of help! My father was well taken care of and developed a great relationship with his ABC caregiver. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for caregiving help!”
“Always Best Care exceeded my expectations! Their caring staff helped make mine and my family's lives so much easier when we were in need of help!

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 Centennial Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local The Standard or visit The Savage 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 Nashville, TN, 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 Nashville, TN 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 Nashville, TN 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.

This incident marks the second time in less than a year that an airliner has been forced to make an emergency stop during takeoff from Nashville International Airport.
An airliner was forced to slam on the brakes during takeoff last week from Nashville International Airport to avoid a collision with a single-engine plane that had crossed into its path. This incident marks the second time in less than a year that an airliner has been forced to make an emergency stop during takeoff from Nashville International Airport.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — An airliner loaded with passengers was forced to slam on the brakes during takeoff last week from Nashville International Airport to avoid a collision with a single-engine plane that had crossed into its path, NewsChannel 5 has learned.
ATC radio transmissions and flight data reveal that Delta Airlines Flight 2724, an Airbus A-321, was cleared by controllers to take off for Minneapolis-St. Paul just after 10 a.m. Thursday. That’s when a controller spotted a single-engine Piper Cherokee, which had landed on the same runway just minutes before, turning back in front of the Delta jet.
“Delta 2724, cancel takeoff clearance,” a controller urgently called out, according to radio traffic archived on the LiveATC.net website.
Seconds later, the Delta pilot responded, “Alright, we are canceling takeoff.”
A NewsChannel 5 viewer whose boyfriend was on the flight relayed that “he said it was a hard stop.”
This incident marks the second time in less than a year that an airliner has been forced to make an emergency stop during takeoff from Nashville International Airport to avoid a collision with another plane.
Last September, an Alaska Airlines aircraft was disabled when its tires deflated after it suddenly braked to avoid hitting a Southwest Airlines jet that controllers had mistakenly turned into its path.
That incident remains under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board.
In the case of last week’s incident, it is not clear how close the Delta flight came to colliding with the small plane or exactly who was responsible for the incident.
But radio traffic shows a controller immediately blamed the pilot of the Piper Cherokee, which had flown into Nashville from Greeneville, Tennessee, in the eastern part of the state.
“That small aircraft there was supposed to take a right turn on Kilo,” the controller explained to the Delta crew, referring to the designation for a taxiway that crosses Runway 20R.
Instead, the controller continued, the Piper Cherokee “made a left there.”
The air traffic controller expressed his appreciation to the Delta flight crew for their quick response.
“It’s been an eventful morning. I appreciate the stop there. Way to be aware. Thank you.”
On Monday, the Federal Aviation administration confirmed the incident in a written statement: "Air traffic control cancelled the takeoff clearance for Delta Air Lines Flight 2724 at Nashville International Airport because another aircraft was crossing the same runway. The FAA is investigating the event that occurred around 10:05 a.m. local time on Thursday, July 10."
Delta Airlines also acknowledged the close call.
“On July 10, Delta’s flight crew followed established procedures to suspend the takeoff of Flight 2724 from Nashville to Minneapolis-St. Paul due to potential traffic at the intersection of two runways,” Delta said in an email statement Sunday afternoon.
“The flight departed shortly after without incident.”
Delta continued, “Nothing is more important than the safety of our people and customers, and we apologize to our customers for their experience.”
Radio traffic indicates that, as the small plane landed on a southerly heading, the pilot had been instructed: “Left turn, Kilo.”
Then, when he apparently missed the turn for the taxiway, a controller told him, “You can proceed down the runway. There will be a left turn at Bravo 2.”
As the single-engine plane taxied back toward the Kilo taxiway, this time heading north, a right turn would have taken the pilot to the part of the airport that services general aviation.
It’s not clear from the archived radio recordings whether air traffic controllers gave the pilot new directions as he attempted to make his way across the airfield, nor is it clear whether he ever acknowledged the directions given to him by controllers.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates reached out to the Rogersville businessman listed in FAA records as the owner of the Piper Cherokee for comment, but we have not heard back.

According to Fightful Select, ahead of All In in 2023, pro wrestling legend Billy Gunn had been advocating for the use of his "Ass Man" theme music, which is owned and produced by WWE. The report indicates that this pitch didn’t gain much traction, and WWE was never formally approached about it. Sources noted that Tony Khan was not open to licensing the music directly from WWE.
Additionally, the report states that Gunn has retained some sort of merchandising deal with WWE. If an agreement could have been reached, it wouldn't have been impossible for the music to be used.
At All In 2023, Gunn teamed up with The Acclaimed to win the World Trios Championships from the House of Black.
Singer Jelly Roll appeared on last night's WWE Smackdown and promptly got involved in a segment with WWE superstar Logan Paul, further leading to intervention from both Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton. As one may guess, the planned celebrity match for next month's SummerSlam is Jelly Roll and Orton to team up against Paul and McIntyre.
Announced for next week's WWE Friday Night Smackdown is some sort of confrontation between reigning WWE Undisputed Champion John Cena and his SummerSlam challenger, Cody Rhodes. The promotion for the show is hyping it as a segment where the two superstars will be "under one roof."
On last night's WWE Smackdown, the Wyatt Sicks duo of Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy became new WWE tag team champions when they defeated The Street Profits. The Sicks' Erick Rowan made his presence his known in the match by interfering which ultimately led to the win. It is the first title of any kind in WWE for both Lumis and Gacy.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A funding issue has forced approx 70 older children out of a Nashville summer camp program, leaving families scrambling and a nonprofit organization seeking solutions.
Black Lemonade, a Nashville nonprofit, is hosting a seven-week summer day camp but had to cut all 4th through 9th grade students from the program due to an unexpected funding problem.
"It was last Friday that we had all our kids and we turned up," said MiKeesha Wallace, the program director. "They had a chip and candy salad. We tried to hug them and love on them."
In previous fiscal years, Black Lemonade received between $180,000 and $368,000 in government funding, mostly from the Nashville After Zone Alliance, which is administered by the Nashville Public Library.
However, when the new fiscal year began on July 1, the nonprofit discovered it wouldn't receive the expected funding because a few items were missing from its application.
"Really saddening, mainly because this is a prime age to get all of the resources and activities and enrichment that we do provide for our youth," Wallace said.
For middle school children, especially those at risk, structured summer programs provide critical support during a vulnerable developmental period. Without supervision and positive activities, these young people are more likely to engage in risky behaviors or fall behind academically.
Approximately 70 children lost their spots at the camp. Only two families of older children could afford the $100 weekly fee to continue attending.
Metro Nashville officials say they are currently working with the nonprofit to determine if retroactive funding might be possible.
Anyone interested in sponsoring a camper for the final two weeks can reach out to Black Lemonade directly or make a donation through their Linktree.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - The wait to bring a WNBA team to the Volunteer State will continue for basketball fans.
The WNBA announced expansion cities in Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia on Monday. Nashville’s bid to create the Tennessee Summitt was excluded from the list.
The bid was led by former Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, who also owns the NHL’s Nashville Predators.
In January, WVLT spoke with Tyler Summitt, the son of Pat Summitt, to learn about what it would mean to bring a WNBA team to Nashville.
“I remember my mom telling me stories about three-on-three basketball, because they said women couldn’t handle the five-on-five game, and my mom couldn’t recruit unless they went to full-court basketball. So to go from that to have a lot of success and now a WNBA team to potentially be in the state, it’s amazing how things progress, but I know she’d be ecstatic.”
Bill Haslam released the following statement following Nashville’s exclusion.
The WNBA will feature 18 teams in the 2030 season.
