“I am a current client of this provider My wife was in hospital for 12 days, and was released on a Sunday. The caregiver from Always Best Care arrived at our home as soon as we were there. She immediately made sure that we had everything my wife needed to be safe. She was extremely kind and was every time she was with us. The caregiver was always on time and responsive to all my wife's needs. I will recommend this agency to anyone that needs their service”

“I am a current client of this provider I have been a client of Always Best Care since 2020 and have had the most fabulous caregivers since I started some of who have become good friends. They help me with driving me to my hair appointments, showering and looking my best. Aretta, Sandra, and Rose come weekly and help me get ready for bed and dressed in the morning. They help keep me company since my husband passed away a few years ago. They are always on time and stay extra if I need it. If I need anything the agency responds immediately even if I call at night. I would highly recommend Always Best Care of Jacksonville to everyone.”

I appreciate the fairness you exhibit in always making certain the caregiver and the care receiver are pleased and compatible. For the past 8 months Ola has been with us full time.

I thank you and God for putting us together.”

“I am a current client of this provider I am delighted to share my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional care that my mother has received from the dedicated team at Always Best Care. Since they began caring for my mother, we have witnessed compassion, professionalism, timeliness, and unwavering support. The caregivers at Always Best Care have shown genuine warmth and empathy towards my mother, and their commitment to her well-being is evident in every interaction. They take their role in providing care very seriously and with the utmost respect. They engage in meaningful conversations and provide companionship that provides a comfort to being so far away. This has also significantly impacted my mother's quality of life. Always Best Care's professionalism and communication have been exceptional. They inform us about my mother's health and any developments, allowing us to make informed decisions. The caregivers at Always Best Care have been a blessing and their dedication to providing top-notch care and compassion is exactly what my mom needs. I'm incredibly grateful!”

“I am a current client of this provider Always Best Care Jacksonville has provided in home care for my mother for the last 3 years who has late stage Alzheimer's. They have done a wonderful job providing the same caregivers, with a few exceptions, for this journey which makes it so much easier for us. We live out of town, but we know the ladies who are coming and have been coming consistently the last 3 years. They are always on time and know her better than she knows herself. This is especially helpful since she has no short term memory left. The office has always responded immediately if we have any additional needs and makes us feel like family. They have a family portal for us to log on to see what's going on with mom daily. We look forward to the photos the caregivers post there of what she's doing that day so we feel like we are there as well. They truly live up to their name of Always Best Care!”

“I am a current client of this provider Entrusting a third party with the care of a loved one is not an easy concept to achieve. However, when my grandmother's dementia progressed to a level that could no longer be managed on my own, I sought Alway's Best Care to lighten the burden on myself as I work full time and could no longer provide the care she needed or deserved. The company has been providing 24/7 in home care for the past couple of months and I could not be more pleased with the support, passion and assistance provided by both the caregivers and ownership. The company clearly has a drive to help others which far surpasses competitive companies in the area. Although my grandmother's dementia is progressing, I have noticed improvements socially, cognitively and physically since entrusting Alway's Best Care with her care, so much so that I have recommended this company to numerous friends and colleagues in the area and we have all reached a similar consensus regarding their exceptionability. I cannot truly express my gratification and support for this wonderful group of individuals, but I would like to thank you all for your hard work and compassion, as it has provided a light during one of our darkest hours.”

“I am a past client of this provider I was shopping around for In Home Care for my spouse. After phoning several senior services I called Always Best Care. Ellan answered the phone and I knew right off that I was talking to a very knowledgeable person that really cares about your needs. When it became necessary for my spouse to go to a memory care facility, I called Ellan. She researched and located several facilities near my home that had available rooms and met my price requirements. She scheduled an appointment at the facility of my choice. She was present at the facility for the initial interview and tour of the facility. I appreciate Ellan for caring and helping me with my spouse through this difficult transition.”

“I am a current client of this provider I have been using Always Best Care for approximately 6 months and I couldn't be happier with the level of care and professionalism we have received. My husband has Parkinsons Disease and a rare form of Dementia which has made him unable to use the left side of his body and for the most part he is unable to talk and communicate. I have two caregivers that come during the week, Indie and Charmarie who are both the best. They are always punctual and very dependable. My husband has always been so strong physically and mentally, and to see him as he is now is difficult. My biggest concern for him was his comfort level since he requires assistance with everything he does. Indie and Charmarie are so sensitive to his needs both physically and mentally and that has never been an issue for us. Their help has made our lives so much easier. I honestly couldn't be happier or more satisfied with the care he is receiving. I also have to mention that my dealings and interactions with their office staff has matched the care we receive here at home I feel so blessed to have them by my side.”

“I am a current client of this provider For 2 years Nurse Jen has organized my brother’s medication and does a general health check every two weeks. Organizing the meds is more than just filling the pill boxes – it includes making sure he has the proper quantity and dose of each med and authorization from his many doctors. When we first hired ABC, my brother took 19 pills each day, so it was no easy feat to make sure everything was in order. Jen is a gem! Our family appreciates the care provided by Jen and ABC.”

“I am a current client of this provider The agency is providing 24/7 care for my father. The staff is professional, caring, and supportive of his needs. They take the time to become familiar with his specific health issues and interests. We especially appreciate their caring nature and feel that he is safe while in their care. He has made excellent progress under ABC's supervision, becoming stronger, gaining weight, etc. The “care logs” provide us with information about his status and details. It is very useful to have online access at any time to the input provided by the caregivers through the “Clear Care” website. It's an excellent source of information and communication. The agency responds to all requests in a timely manner.”

“I am a past client of this provider ABC was a huge help to us during my mother’s terminal illness. We began our conversations with them over a year before we actually needed them. At that time, the owner, Marlynn, came to the house and sat down with us to answer all our questions, so that when the time came we were ready. Over the 5 months that we used then, the staff was kind and communicative. The caregivers were great and formed caring relationships with our mother. In addition to caring for her bodily needs, they played cards with her, listened to music together, and cooked her lovely meals. We had a couple bumps along the way with scheduling, but ABC worked hard to make sure someone was always there. I’d definitely recommend ABC to anyone with a loved one in need of care.”

FAQs About Skilled Home Health Care Services

Female-Caregiver-Mobile Female-Caregiver-Desktop

Absolutely! Federal law gives patients the freedom to choose their home healthcare provider. It would be our honor to care for you, or your loved one when you need us most!

Home health is designed to help you recover in the comfort of your home through skilled nurses and rehabilitation services. Home health must be ordered by a physician when they determine that your condition requires you to stay at home for rehab and recovery from illness, injury or surgery. Home health is the most cost effective option for receiving care as it allows for patients and their families to be home where they want to be.

Home health is skilled clinical care ordered by a health care provider. These services might include things like nursing, physical therapy and occupational therapy, and are designed to help you manage your condition and regain your independence after illness, injury, or surgery.
Personal home care assistance involves non-clinical services, such as help around the house, transportation, bathing, and light meal preparation.

Paying for home health services can be done through various methods, depending on your specific situation and the options available to you. Here are some common payment methods:

Medicare: If you qualify for Medicare, it may cover 100% of your home health services. Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, but it can also cover younger individuals with certain disabilities. To be eligible for Medicare coverage of home health services, you typically need a doctor’s order and meet specific criteria related to your health condition.

Private Insurance: Many private health insurance plans cover home health services. The coverage and requirements can vary significantly from one insurance plan to another, so it’s essential to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage and any out-of-pocket costs you might incur.

Medicare Advantage: Some individuals choose to enroll in Medicare Advantage plans (Part C), which are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. These plans often include coverage for home health services, but the specifics can vary by plan.

Long-Term Care Insurance: Long-term care insurance policies are designed to cover the costs of various long-term care services, including home health care. If you have such a policy, check your coverage to see if it includes home health services and any specific requirements for reimbursement.

Veteran’s Benefits: Veterans may be eligible for home health services coverage through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Eligibility and coverage depend on factors such as your service-connected disability status and other criteria. Contact the VA or your local Veterans Health Administration office for more information.

Workers’ Compensation: If your need for home health services is related to a work-related injury or illness, workers’ compensation insurance may cover the costs. This generally applies to injuries or illnesses that occurred on the job.

Private Pay: If you don’t have insurance coverage or if the services you require are not covered, you can choose to pay for home health services out of pocket. The cost will depend on the specific services needed and the rates charged by the home health agency.

Before receiving home health services, it’s crucial to verify your eligibility and coverage options. This often involves discussing your insurance or payment method with the home health agency’s financial team. They can assist you in navigating the payment process and help answer any questions you may have about financing your care.

Always Best Care Senior Services offers a wide range of home health services to our patients. Whether the patient is recovering from illness or injury, or has a long-term condition, Always Best Care Senior Services provides skilled, compassionate, healthcare in the comfort of your home.

Our services include, but are not limited to:

  • IV Therapy: Intravenous therapy at home is a way to receive IV treatment your doctor has prescribed, without having to go to a hospital or clinic. Home IV Therapy is safe and effective alternative to in-patient care.
  • Chronic Disease Management: We help patients and their families manage disease process through care, education, and support.
  • Wound & Ostomy Care: We have Wound Care & Ostomy Specialist who provide the highest level of medical services for hard-to-heal wounds, as well as ostomy care, including colostomy, ileostomy, fistulas, and leaking tube/drain sites.
  • Therapy Services: Our physical, occupational, and speech therapists will come to you or your family member’s home to evaluate your loved one’s health and physical abilities and coordinate a complete therapeutic care plan with your loved one’s doctors to restore his or her best health.
  • Medication management, monitoring, and education
  • Post-Surgical Aftercare
  • Tracheotomy Care
  • Catheter Care
  • Cognitive Training
  • Diet Teaching
  • Injections
  • Cancer Care: If you or a loved one is recovering from surgery or undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments your health care needs may be complex. Therapists and in-home health professionals will come to you to provide the care you need in the comfort of home. You can count on us for:
    • Pain and symptom management
    • Infusion therapy
    • Management of ports and access devices
    • Nutrition and dietary support
    • Resource planning for help with meals, transportation, applying for medical assistance, advocating with insurance companies, and support to stay comfortably at home
    • Follow up with your physician to assess treatment and progress

At your first visit a nurse will conduct an initial comprehensive assessment through a combination of interview and hands on assessment. The assessment will focus on identifying areas where you may benefit from education on self-care management in addition to providing hands on intervention. Your nurse will review all your medications and make sure you are taking them correctly and safely, as well as assist you in setting them up if needed. Your nurse will collaborate with your physician and determine the level of care you need. This approach helps to allow you to stay in the comfort of your home and actively engages you and your caregiver in your health care.

The frequency and type of home health visits and the services provide are based on your individualized plan of care. Your doctor may change your plan of care, increasing or decreasing the number of visits or services provided, in order to provide you with the best care possible.

An individual shall be considered to be “confined to his home” if the individual has a condition, due to an illness or injury, that restricts the ability of the individual to leave his or her home except with the assistance of another individual or the aid of a supportive devise (such as crutches, a cane, a wheelchair, or a walker), or if the individual has a condition such that leaving his or her home is medically contraindicated. While an individual does not have to be bedridden to be considered “confined to his home”, the condition of the individual should be such that there exists a normal inability to leave home or that leaving home requires a considerable and taxing effort by the individual.

Yes. If you or a loved one is interested in receiving skilled home health care services, speak with your primary care physician, nurse practitioner, or other health care provider.

Personal home care is often needed alongside skilled home health services, and we can help coordinate the two levels of care. A limited number of your personal home care hours may be covered by Medicare while you’re receiving clinical in-home care, but it’s generally paid separately or covered by private insurance or other government programs.
