“Steve and Claudia at Always Best Care Senior Services were just awesome in how they provided at home care for my mother Carmen. Starting with the initial consultation by Steve to learn about mom's personal care needs to the follow-up visit of a registered nurse to the eventual placement of a compassionate caregiver; every step of their service was well thought out and they truly delivered on providing a level of care for mom that exceeded our families (and mom's) expectations. It can be very nerve racking to find and leave your loved one with a caregiver but this company gets that and they were just fantastic. Thank you Always Best Care!”

“I have been utilizing Always Best Care Senior Services for 2 years to care 24/7 for my elderly parents. I am very pleased with their services. The Owners and Office Staff bend over backwards to make sure that there is always coverage, to alert my parents Caregiver Team of any requests that I make, to advise me when there is an issue with my parents or their dog. The Caregiver Team working with my parents are all compassionate and caring, knowledgeable and skilled. Sadly, my Father passed away in the fall of 2020. Each of their Caregivers, the Owners and the Office Staff expressed to me that they would like to attend his memorial service when we are able to have it. During the weeks he was slipping away, the Caregiver team not only took care of my parents, they looked after me, gently reminding me to eat, rest or take a break. They truly care not only for my parents, but for all our family. I can’t begin to express what a comfort it has been to have them caring for my parents, especially during the pandemic when visits are prohibited. They are my eyes and ears. Working intimately with my parents, the Caregivers are very tuned in to even subtle changes. If you are in the market and looking for a senior services/home health care company, I strongly urge you to reach out to Always Best Care Senior Services. You’ll be happy you did.”

“If you want quality care for yourself or your loved ones, Steve and his time are the best, don’t waste your time looking elsewhere. As an estate planning attorney, I have recommended clients to Steve who have been very happy with his team. Steve and his team went above and beyond for one specific client of mine that had a very complex situation, and I am eternally grateful to them. I only hope I can continue to work together with him - Steve and his team are dedicated to making sure you are comfortable, happy and safe. My favorite part about Always Best Care is that all of their staff are TRAINED EMPLOYEES WITH CONTINUING EDUCATION - NOT INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS!”

“I have worked with, and explored working with, various agencies and registries in the Palm Beach County area. I am picky. Always Best Care is qualitatively a notch above every other organization I've encountered. Responsive. Amiable. Professional. The aide, Islande, who has worked with my mom is top-notch for our needs. And . . . I have no doubt Steve (the agency's owner) and his staff would strive to find someone else, if it hadn't been a fit. If you are looking for Nursing Care, I strongly recommend giving Always Best Care a chance. BTW: It is important to understand that working with an Nursing Agency (like Always Best Care), means the staff are employees, not independent contractors (as they are when working through a Nursing Registry). An Agency is vested in having good employees, and a good agency wants you to be happy. But even all Agencies are not created equal. I worked with one (Alternative Health Care) where aides did not always show up! That was painful and incredibly stressful, and the manager and other higher-up staff didn't give a hoot.”

“I wish there were more that five stars. I can not say enough about the experience we have had in working with Always Best Care Senior Services. Not only were they extremely receptive to our needs, available immediately to every call, text or email, compassionate and kind...every single employee was better than the next. My Dad's recent death and my mothers recent surgery (with complications) requiring extra care was a traumatic time for our family. The care she received was beyond skilled and professional. We knew she was in trusting, caring hands. She was happy. I have recommended ABC to others and they have had the same experience. Do not hesitate to reach out to them if you are in need. I highly recommend them. I know I will be reaching out to Steven and Claudia the next time I am in need. My family and I are extremely grateful.”

From the highest level administration (Stephen and Beverly) to the amazing caregivers and schedulers -- the entire staff have been responsive and attentive from day one. They have been unfailingly respectful, caring, professional and competent. They were flexible and kind when my mother became terminally ill.

“Always Best Care has been wonderful in many ways. Steve Snell, Owner and Area Representative, and Beverly Casper, RN were patient, kind and respectful while my Dad came to terms with the idea that he really did need help. They were flexible and open and that made all the difference. My Dad's aide Fabienne is responsible and caring and now more of a companion than aide. Steve and his scheduling team has been proactive about any changes that needed to occur and very good about communicating with me both by phone and email. Having them on board has lessened the worry I feel on a daily basis. My mother had a prolonged illness and through the years we dealt with many health care agencies. The attention and care we have received from Always Best Care is, by far, the best we ever have experienced and we are very grateful to have found them.”

 In-Home Care Palm City, FL

How does In-home Senior Care in Palm City, FL work?

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it's 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 ages, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

 Senior Care Palm City, FL

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

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.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a unfamiliar assisted living community, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

Comfort
Comfort

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, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old. With the help of elderly care in Palm City, FL, 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.

Healthy Living
Healthy Living

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.

Independence
Independence

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 an assisted living community. 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.

Cost and Convenience
Cost and Convenience

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 to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, can be 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 in Palm City, FL 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.

Empowers Seniors

Affordable Care Plans

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:

Veteran's Benefits
Veteran's Benefits

Aid and Attendance benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.

Long-Term Care Insurance
Long-Term Care Insurance

Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.

Private Insurance
Private Insurance

Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.

Life Insurance
Life Insurance

Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.


Respite Care Palm City, FL

During your Care Plan consultation with Always Best Care, your Care Coordinator will speak with you about in-home care costs and what options there may be to help meet your budget needs.

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers

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 Palm City,FL 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.

 Caregivers Palm City, FL

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced 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:

An assessment of your senior loved one

01

An in-depth discussion of the needs of your senior loved one to remain in their own home

02

Reviewing a detailed Care Plan that will meet your senior loved one's needs

03

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.

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.

PALM CITY — An eastern diamondback rattlesnake bit an unsuspecting Amazon delivery worker Monday evening in Palm City.

According to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, the employee was dropping a package off on a home’s front porch in the Highland Reserve Community where the snake was coiled up and struck. The woman was reportedly in “very serious” condition as of Tuesday morning.

She immediately became ill, called out for help and was taken to a hospital, the Sheriff’s Office said.

911 audio obtained from directly after the snake bite provides a highly detailed, second-by-second account of the woman’s terrifying experience.

In the opening seconds of the call, the woman can be heard screaming out in pain, trying to find out the address of the home she was at.

“What just bit you?” the 911 operator asked.

“A snake!” the woman exclaimed.

The dispatcher tried calming the Amazon employee, reassuring her fire rescue will be on the way soon and asking her to stay on the phone.

She continued to wail out in pain, and the dispatcher asked where the snake was.

“It’s still on the porch,” she said.

“I went up to the door to drop off the package… bit me,” the woman’s words were incoherent at this part as she tried answering through agony.

The 911 operator asked what kind of snake bit the woman, but she was unsure and yelled it was “still making that noise.” The homeowner of the Palm City residence could be heard on the call stating it was a rattlesnake.

The dispatcher reassured her once again help was currently on the way, to keep her breathing slow and the hospital would have antivenom ready for her.

About seven minutes into the 911 call, first responders arrived and rendered aid.

“Keep moving, keep moving, keep moving!” a first responder could be heard yelling at bystanders as EMS arrived.

Photos show a Martin County deputy catching the 3- to 4-foot snake directly outside the Palm City house’s front door with a package right next to the reptile.

The eastern diamondback rattlesnake is among the most venomous snakes in the Americas. Bites can be fatal to humans if left untreated for too long, causing serious tissue damage, extreme pain, swelling of the throat and severe organ damage.

Amazon delivery driver bitten by 'highly venomous' rattlesnake in Martin County

PALM CITY, Fla. — A 21-year-old Amazon driver is in critical but stable condition after she was bitten by a "highly venomous" rattlesnake in Palm City on Monday.

In a Facebook post, the Martin County Sheriff's Office said the driver was delivering a package in the Highlands Reserve community Monday night when an eastern diamondback rattlesnake coiled near the front door bit her. The agency later said it was 5 feet long.

"The driver walked to the door, put the package down and was struck by the snake," the sheriff's office wrote.

The driver immediately became ill and called out for help.

Deputies arrived at the scene within minutes and found the victim on the ground outside the home.

"She was sort of lethargic in her interaction with our deputies, limited conversation," Martin County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy John Budensiek said. "It was obvious when they were walking up to ask her what had taken place, you could see the bite on her inner thigh just above the knee."

The woman was taken to a local hospital, where she's now in "very serious condition," the sheriff's office said.

Sgt. Brian Tyson caught the snake from the front door.

"Do you get a lot of calls about snakes in that area in general?" WPTV reporter Joel Lopez asked.

"We do, absolutely, we get them quite frequently," Tyson responded.

"It was aggressive. I used a long tool, a long pole to pin the snake against the wall and took care of it."

Tyson said this time of year MCSO sees an uptick of calls about snakes and because of its size temper and the small children in the area, the snake was put down.

"I did not think that it was a smart idea to try to trap it and then release it," Tyson said. "I'm sure the citizens of that community would have been quite upset had we done that.

Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, which are highly venomous, are "very common to this area," according to the Martin County Sheriff's Office.

Amy Kight with Busch Wildlife Sanctuary said people need to remember that snakes love our tropical climate and that most of them are completely harmless.

"When you see them, the best thing to do is just leave them alone," Kight said. "Assume all snakes have the potential to be dangerous, especially if you're not good at identifying them."

Amazon spokesperson Branden Baribeau released the following statement regarding the incident:

On Monday, the driver attempted to deliver a package to a house in the Highland Reserve neighborhood of Palm City, which is about 40 miles north of West Palm Beach on Florida's Atlantic coast, according to the Martin County Sheriff's Office.

However, deputies said she was attacked by a coiled eastern diamondback rattlesnake while approaching the front door. The snake struck the driver on the back of the leg, just above the knee, as she walked toward the door and placed the package down.

The Martin County Sheriff's Office released a bodycamera video showing first responders arriving on the scene to provide aid. Watch the video at the top of this story.

The driver has been identified as 21-year-old Monet Robinson, WPBF reports.

"Her stopping, calling 911, remaining calm was key to her coming out of this successfully and alive," Deputy John Budensiek told the TV station.

Amazon is investigating the incident, according to company spokesperson Branden Baribeau, who spoke to FOX Weather on Wednesday.

"Our thoughts are with the driver, and we hope for a full recovery after this frightening incident," he said. "Together, with the Delivery Service Partner, we're looking into the circumstances surrounding this incident and continue to make sure that drivers understand they should not complete a delivery if they feel unsafe."

In the Southeast, eastern diamondbacks are frequently found and are known to be the largest species of rattlesnake, growing up to 7 feet long. Untreated bites from the snake can be fatal in 10% to 20% of cases, says toxinology.com.

PALM CITY, Fla. (CBS12) — With the price of housing going through the roof in Florida, one company is getting creative to make living more affordable.

They’re also giving several convicts a second chance in society by employing several of them in various positions, mitigating the labor shortage.

Palm City-based company Containing Luxury is converting shipping containers into affordable living spaces, which are few and far between nowadays.

CBS12 Dylan Huberman speaks to a company in Palm City about converting shipping containers into homes.< >

Founder and CEO Blake Madgett tells CBS12 News that more creativity and quality was needed in affordable housing.

“It’s just not affordable, there’s no solutions for affordable housing down here. So, we need to find hurricane-rated products, which makes it even more expensive to build," he told CBS12 News. "That’s where we came up with this idea that it needed to be built in a controlled environment in mass production.”

The company buys the containers from brokers for approximately $5,000-$7,000, cleans them, works on them inside and out, and sells them.

Their 20-foot units can sell as cheaply as $35,000 each, while fully decked out 40-foot units capable of solar or electric power can go around $90,000 - and can be shipped anywhere on a flatbed.

Madgett says a church mission trip to Costa Rica inspired the whole idea.

“When I came back, I immediately fired all of my clients," he recalled. "I built high-end luxury homes, Prada, Starbucks and I started focusing on finding solutions for affordable housing.”

In the process, the company gives felons a chance to change their lives.

Daniel Collins, a Fort Pierce native who played in the Atlanta Braves organization, spent 10 years in prison, battled drug addiction and even homelessness.

Now, he’s the sales director at Containing Luxury.

“It’s just been amazing, you know, having the opportunity to run the social media, you know, market, sales, I’m just extremely grateful. It’s changed my life,” Collins said Friday.

Collins says working on affordable housing is an ideal career for him and the other former inmates that work at the company.

“Affordable housing, you know, people who are integrating back into society, and my platform of what I try to do to help people, and it was just like ‘okay, this was like the perfect marriage, like the perfect match,” he remarked.

Madgett heaped praise on Collins, who rose through the ranks since he came on board in December.

“Danny’s been a perfect example of, you know, who’s out there, diamonds in the rough,” he shared.

Madgett says they’re averaging a hire a week over the last few months and with the increase in staffing, the company is well-equipped to make an impact on the Treasure Coast and Okeechobee County.

Although the company was only founded last year, their work is already getting noticed well beyond the Treasure Coast.

This week, Madgett appeared on the Start Engine Pitch Competition with Mr. Wonderful - Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary - and Chief Marketing Officer Johanna Cronin.

There, O’Leary declared Containing Luxury the winner of the pitch competition.

“It’s got to be Blake, Containing Lux(ury)," O'Leary said in the YouTube video of the pitch competition, which he posted on his page.

“Amazing," Cronin echoed as Blake celebrated. “Blake is leaving the room,” she said with a laugh.

“It had all the elements of a great presentation, a massive addressable market and I love the idea,” O'Leary added on.

Madgett now gets a one-on-one with Start Engine’s CEO and has the potential for funding from the company’s sponsors.

A small plane crashed inside a private ranch in Palm City, Florida, and was wrapped in flames, resulting in one person's death.

A bystander also sustained injuries while trying to help the trapped pilot.

Emergency services rushed to the scene to assist. The incident occurred on SW 48th Terrace in Palm City, Florida.

Roads near the location where the plane crashed are closed as emergency services operate at the scene.

The circumstances under which the plane crashed or the condition the injured person is in are not known yet.

Police published pictures from the tragedy on social media.

The photos show the wreck of the plane covered in ashes and thick smoke rising from the location of the crash.

Firefighters can also be seen attempting to put out the blaze that sparked from the deadly crash.

Officers from the Martin County Sheriff's Office and the Martin County Fire and Rescue service are still working at the scene.

The Martin County Sheriff's Office said in a post on Facebook: "MCSO and MCFR are on scene of a small plane crash inside a private ranch on SW 48th Terrace in Palm City.

"One person is confirmed to be deceased, a bystander who attempted to help the trapped pilot did sustain injuries.
