Personal Care Services

  • 24-Hour Care​
    Always Best Care helps you find the perfect round-the-clock in-home care plan to fit your loved one’s circumstances and needs. 24-hour care is support that is available to anyone who needs extra help to carry on living at home. It can include help with shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing, dressing and all other daily tasks. The need for 24-hour care can be prompted by accident, illness, dementia, frailty, disability, or frailty caused by the aging process.
  • Bathing, Grooming
    & Dressing​
    Bathing, dressing and grooming play a large role in a senior’s daily routines. Maintaining good personal hygiene can be vital in preventing sickness, while dressing can impact an elderly individual’s self-esteem. Grooming and dressing are integral to the activities of daily living.
  • Cognitive Impairments​​
    Cognitive impairment is not an illness, but a description of someone’s condition. It means they have trouble with things like memory or paying attention. They might have trouble speaking or understanding. And they might have difficulty recognizing people, places or things, and might find new places or situations overwhelming.
  • Companionship​​
    Companionship care is primarily emotional support and companionship for seniors who are generally healthy and who want to remain independent at home.
  • Errands & Transportation​​
    Help with errands, shopping, and transportation falls under the category of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). These skills are necessary in order to live independently and that all of us do once we are up, out of bed, dressed, and ready to start our day. Transportation services for seniors can help maintain a level of independence without the need for the senior to drive themselves.
  • Escort to Activities​
    Escorting a senior to activities can help them if they feel unsafe or uncomfortable in public without accompaniment. Many trips are often used to assist seniors to utilize the services of health professionals and agencies that they otherwise would not be able to access.
  • Hospice
    Support / End-of-Life​​
    Hospice care is for people who are nearing the end of life. The services are provided by a team of health care professionals who maximize comfort for a person who is terminally ill by reducing pain and addressing physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs.
  • Hospital to Home​​
    Following a discharge from the hospital, the first three days are critical. During this time frame and beyond, the support given to a senior and their family play a vital role in the recovery process at home. A hospital-to-home program offers a comprehensive and flexible solution that can provide the physical and emotional support needed to recover safely and comfortably.
  • Incontinence / Toileting​​
    There are several types of incontinence, which include overflow incontinence, transient incontinence, stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and knowing a little about the different types can help the caretaker and the family make the best decisions about what levels of toileting assistance should be included in the care plan of their loved one.
  • Laundry Services​​
    For seniors, laundry can be a challenge. As people age, they may have less energy and stamina. One of the biggest benefits of laundry services is that they can help seniors stay independent. Laundry services can also help keep seniors healthy by ensuring the are wearing clean clothing.
  • Light Housekeeping​​
    Light housekeeping includes things like watering the plants, dusting of surfaces and knickknacks, as well as picking up newspapers, magazines and other clutter. It includes emptying the trash, vacuuming and sweeping of main walk areas. It can also include organizing drawers, shelves and closets. In a nutshell light housekeeping is completing the specific tasks required to tidy up areas that a client uses. Examples of what a light housekeeping service does not include are heavy-duty cleaning tasks that require moving heavy furniture, washing windows, cleaning carpets, or scrubbing floors. Nor does it cover outside chores, such as shoveling snow off sidewalks, raking, or mowing the grass.
  • Live-In Care​​
    Live-in care is for seniors who need around-the-clock assistance from a caregiver. Assistance is generally non-medical and includes such tasks as medication management, shopping, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADL). Though caregivers sleep at the senior’s residence, they generally aren’t required for assistance at night.
  • Meal Preparation​
    Meal preparation and eating healthy and nutritional food is important for seniors. Meal preparation assistance for the elderly is not just about cooking, but involves so much more. Maintaining a regular and consistent schedule can also play a role in emotional and physical health.
  • Medication Reminders​
    Medication reminders are a nonmedical service provided by a caregiver or a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA). CNAs do not administer medications, or speak with a doctor or pharmacist about a senior’s medicine or regime—but they do ensure medication safety and regularity.
  • Mobility​
    Mobility is the ability to move or walk freely and easily — is critical for functioning well and living independently. As we age, we may experience changes to our mobility. There are many reasons for these changes, including changes in gait (how we walk), balance, and physical strength.
  • Nutrition Monitoring​​
    Nutrition is an important element of health in the older population and affects the aging process. The prevalence of malnutrition is increasing in this population and is associated with a decline in functional status, impaired muscle function, decreased bone mass, immune dysfunction, anemia, reduced cognitive function, poor wound healing, delayed recovery from surgery, higher hospital readmission rates, and mortality.
  • Overnight Care​​
    Overnight care revolves around a multitude of services which may include help using the restroom in the middle of the night, providing fluids and snacks in the evening, and assisting with preparing for bed. Elderly individuals may also receive help with transfer assistance throughout the night. Overnight caregivers can also prepare breakfast and offer morning care.
  • Safety Supervision​​
    Because more accidents occur inside the home than anywhere else, seniors and their caregivers must do everything in their power to make sure their homes are as safe and secure as possible. Some of the steps that can be taken to ensure homes are safe for seniors and their families include removing clutter, adding better lighting, rearranging cabinets and drawers, and assessing the safety risks of the bathroom.
  • Technology Assistance​​
    Technology can help the elderly live independently for longer by facilitating preventive care, early detection of, and response to, emerging health issues, as well as timely support for daily tasks. Technology offers a wide range of benefits to older adults. Seniors who use technology can also feel more connected to others, can be better engaged in the community and world around them, and be more informed about current events.

“Always Best Care really is the best care, always. We needed immediate care and Colleen had everything coordinated in less than 24 hours. Every care worker that came was exceptional. They were polite, kind and respectful. They followed the care plan and left daily notes. They did light housekeeping and made very nice meals. They interacted with the client, even watching Brewer game after Brewer game. One of the girls even wrote down the roster so he could follow who each player was and what time and channel future games were on.This was our first time with in home care and it has been great!!

“This is by far the best home care agency in the area. Caregivers are conscientious, well trained and friendly. They fit right in when working with both my in-laws and my Mom. I was able to be a daughter, not a caregiver. I have referred ABC to my friends and they have been very happy with the caregivers also:) The agency works hard at finding a good fit for you and your loved one. I used to work in Senior Healthcare, so I have seen it all. I understand what to look for and the questions to ask. ABC is top notch and terrific in all aspects of home care. I will definitely use again when needed.”

“We were looking to move my dad to a new living facility and was introduced to Marisa of Always Best Care. From day one she was thoughtful and caring. She met with our family to find out more about my dad and his needs. She took the time and listened to what we had to say and never once did we feel rushed. She presented us with options and sent us all the information we needed to help us in making a decision. When we chose a couple of facilities that we were interested in she set up the appointments and was with us during those visits. Whenever we had a question she always got back to us in a timely manner. Even after we found a new home for my dad, she called to check up on how things were going. We were so blessed to have her in our corner and help us find the best place for our dad.”

“My mom was hesitant about moving to a senior living facility. She never felt quite comfortable when visiting friends. She ended up being hospitalized 2x in 6 months and we used Always Best Care for help after both hospital stays. They were fantastic and her caregivers were so very kind and helpful. So much so that my mom announced her decision was made, “ no senior living for me, I’ll use Always Best Care from now on. “”

“Until I worked with Tina at Always Best Care, I was struggling with my search for a new home for my parents, who are moving back to the midwest from Phoenix. Tina has worked with staff and residents at senior living communities; she provides straightforward information about the care and lifestyle your loved one would experience at each place. Within one week of working with Tina, I found my parents’ new home and I am confident they will love it. What a relief after weeks of search and worry. I highly recommend Always Best Care and Tina–simplify your life and work with them!”

“Our 96 year-old uncle reached a point where he could not live alone anymore. He already had information regarding assisted living facilities in the area. Still, our uncle’s social worker gave us a card for Always Best Care (ABC), and said, “Call Tina at ABC today.” So we did. Tina asked a lot about Uncle and us, his POAs. Within 24 hours, she arranged a tour, and accompanied us to a facility that would be a great fit our uncle, and was only eleven minutes away from our home. Tina asked questions we never thought of asking, and clearly knows the care-giving business. She was ready to accompany us to other facilities that would fit our needs, if we wanted to do that. We opted to go for the first, and after three weeks, Uncle is settled and thriving. We are most grateful to Tina and ABC for the excellent service in care for seniors in need!”

“Colleen and ABC care has provided in home care for both of my parents. They carefully matched the CG’s to my parents special needs and personalities. With their excellent care, both my parents have maintained their independence in their own homes. Currently my father is battling cancer & his needs are more of a Rehab focus. Amy (the CG) has adapted a plan of care that is tailored to his needs. In only a few short weeks he has regained his independence at home and as of yesterday he was even outside doing yard work!! Thank you Colleen, Amy and everyone else at ABC!!!”

She contacted the new facility, knew exactly what my mom would want and where she would receive better care (and get better FOOD!). She did all the legwork and even came on the tour with us! We couldn’t be happier with the move we made. I am no longer stressed that my mom is in the wrong place. I’m so grateful to the advice and help I got from Tina!! I felt like she really cared about me and my mom. She truly is a life saver!”

“we worked with Tina to find a Memory Care for my family members. She listened to our concerns and needs, then arranged for us to tour four facilities.

“Thank you so much for all the help you gave me finding a place for my 83 year old father to live. I called you on a Thursday and told you the assisted living place where my father was living called me at work to say my dad had to be moved immediately to a place that could offer him more skilled nursing care because of his declining health. I live 2 hours north of Madison, work full time, and had a very short window of time to find a new place for my dad. The help and comfort you gave me during this very difficult time was outstanding. You found an excellent place for him to move to and provided information about a woman who could move all of his furniture and personal items to the new facility. This woman came to where he lived the next day and took pictures of his assisted living apartment so his new space could be recreated at his new facility to help reduce his anxiety about moving. He was moved into his new five star memory unit only four days after I was told he had to move. When I first contacted you I was completely in the dark and did not know where to turn. My appreciation of your knowledge, professionalism and never tiring work ethic helped me more than I can express”

FAQs About In Home Care Services

Female-Caregiver-Mobile Female-Caregiver-Desktop

Always Best Care provides services for people who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that cannot easily be provided by their family or friends. More and more older adults prefer to live independent, non-institutionalized lives, and in-home care is a safe, effective way to provide care in the comfort of one’s own home.

The answer depends on the type of care, the location of care and the level of care that is needed. At Always Best Care we provide a no obligation care consultation and provide advice on many options for paying for home care for your loved one.

Our company vision is to work as a united team providing the best senior care in the world, with the broadest range of services, and the most loving and consistent care anywhere. We are dedicated to exceeding your expectations…always

Your Care Coordinator will work with you and your loved one to select the best qualified caregiver for each client. They will carefully review your care plan and try to match the right caregiver with the specific needs of each client. Our goal is to make sure that you and your loved one are completely satisfied with our service and we will bend over backwards to make this happen.

Every Always Best Care location employs all their caregivers, so extensive background and reference checks are conducted. Caregivers are insured for your safety and they all receive extensive training upon being hired and on-going training to keep up with the demand of our industry. What this means for you is that you or your loved one will receive some of the best caregivers our industry has to offer.

The time frame to begin care for a senior will depend on the urgency of the need for the person and family that will be receiving care. It will be important for the senior and their family to speak with a provider in order to discuss care needs, where care will be provided, how soon care will need to begin, and a budget for their care services. Based on the needs of the senior and their family, a care plan can be developed, whether needed for a few hours each week or around the clock care.

How people pay for long-term care, whether delivered at home or in a hospital, assisted living facility, or nursing home, depends on their financial situation and the kinds of services they use. In many cases, people believe that their current health or disability insurance will pay for their long-term care needs, but most of these insurance policies include limited, if any, long-term care benefits. Often, people must rely on a variety of payment sources, including personal funds, government programs, and private financing options.

Traditional Medicare does not pay for 24-hour-a-day care at your home, meals delivered to your home, homemaker services like shopping, cleaning, and laundry that aren’t related to your care plan, custodial, or personal care that helps you with daily living activities like bathing, dressing, or using the bathroom, when this is the only care that is needed.

Home Based Primary Care is part of the VA Medical Benefits. All enrolled Veterans are eligible IF they meet the clinical need for the service and it is available.
