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 Garden State Park Gatehouse 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 Cherry Hill, NJ is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

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 Challenge Grove 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 Capital Grille or visit Barclay Farmstead Museum, 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 Cherry Hill, NJ, 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 Cherry Hill, NJ 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 Cherry Hill, NJ 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.

Dick’s House of Sport is planned for the Cherry Hill Mall, to be developed in the space which will become available after the One Cherry Hill office tower is demolished.
If you’re unfamiliar with Dick’s House of Sport, it is their supersized retail store brand which features massive stores of 100,000 square feet or more, offering a larger array of sporting goods merchandise… but the real WOW factor comes with the inclusion of sports oriented entertainment aspects such as indoor rock climbing walls and outdoor field turfs.
This project will be reviewed by the Cherry Hill Zoning Board on December 5th, 2024.
At 120,000 square feet the planned Cherry Hill location may be the largest House of Sports location in the brand!
As mentioned, its location will be where the One Cherry Hill nine story office tower building is currently located. As I reported earlier this week that building is being demolished.
The all new construction building will be attached directly to the mall, and developed with a 60,000 square foot footprint but include two floors (total of 120,000sf)
Additionally the Cherry Hill Dick’s House of Sport will include an outdoor 10,300 square foot synthetic turf athletic field. Looking at photos and videos of other locations, the synthetic turf field is typically surrounded by a multi-lane running track.
I’m not exaggerating when I say this is a big store… at 120,000sf it’s basically the same size as the Wegmans in Cherry Hill (but again, the planned House of Sport will be spread over two floors)
Another way to look at it is… the existing Cherry Hill Dick’s Sporting Goods store at the Garden State Park retail Plaza is 50,000 square feet total…so just one floor of this planned Cherry Hill Mall House of Sport location is larger than a standard Dick’s store!
And I don’t know how I missed this, but very recently a 100,000sf location opened in Wilmington Delaware. Looks like I am taking a road trip this weekend!
My industry contacts had already told me that the plans were for a Dick’s House of Sport location, but I wanted additional confirmation (investor call is next week)… but the connecting pieces came together for me this morning.
This application is moving through the Zoning Board because it appears they are changing some of the property lot definitions, and even though there was an existing nine story building, there are height restrictions on new construction… which towns basically do to make sure they get an opportunity to review tower projects.
This is a breaking news story and I’ll have more on this as more details are made available.
To further understand the Dick’s House of Sport, online they describe these innovative features.

Roy Rogers, once a fast-food powerhouse with more than 600 restaurants in the U.S., plans to return to the Philadelphia area for the first time in decades with the opening of a franchise store in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
The rodeo-themed burger and fried chicken chain has been making a gradual comeback in the Mid-Atlantic region in recent years. The Roy Rogers coming to 614 Haddonfield Road is expected to open in the spring. It is replacing the PDQ restaurant that closed there last year.
Roy Rogers currently has fewer than 40 locations, mostly in Maryland and Virginia. Its seven restaurants in Pennsylvania are all at travel plazas outside the Philly area. The closest is off the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Elverson, about a 1-hour drive from the city in western Chester County. New Jersey has two Roy Rogers in the shore towns of Brick Township and Pine Beach.
"We've received an overwhelming number of requests from loyal Roy Rogers fans for a location in this area, and we're delighted to make it a reality," Joe Briglia, Roy Rogers' director of real estate and franchise development, said in a press release.

The first Roy Rogers opened in Falls Church, Virginia in 1968. The chain had been called RoBee's and was owned by Marriott Corp., which was sued by roast beef chain Arby's because of the similarity in name. Marriott then made a deal with the actor Roy Rogers, nicknamed the "King of the Cowboys," to rename the restaurant chain after him.
Along with its burgers and fried chicken, Roy Rogers was known for its self-serve topping bar, roast beef sandwich, breakfast options and "holster fries" served in a cardboard gun holster. The chain expanded rapidly in the 1970s and 80s, before downsizing. Most of its free-standing locations became Wendy's or McDonald's stores.
Since the early 2000s, under new leadership, the chain has slowly resurfaced and started ramping up franchise growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. The company's strategy has included revamping the look of its stores and partnering with food delivery platforms to make its food more accessible.
Philadelphia previously had Roy Rogers stores at the former Gallery Mall on East Market Street and in South Philadelphia at the corner of Broad Street and Snyder Avenue.
"Roy's legacy fans will be thrilled to see the iconic Fixin's Bar and use our signature sauces to customize their favorite sandwiches and tenders," Plamonden said.

The nine story tall One Cherry Hill office tower which is located adjacent to the popular Cherry Hill Mall, is in the process of being demolished.
Construction fencing surrounds the building today and demolition workers are inside the building demolishing the interior aspects. The more impactful full building demolition is set to start after the important holiday shopping season.
The building is located in the back of the mall… not connected to the mall, but very close. The office tower is positioned in the “L” that is formed by the two wings of the mall.
At the very top of the office tower it still features the signature large lettering for “One Cherry Hill” and it’s logo depiction of two cherries… but soon that will all be gone.
The office towner opened in 1968 with over 25 office tenants and approximately 10 other retailers in the lobby including a bakery, dry cleaners, travel agency and more.
For over 50 years the building was home to hundreds of South Jersey workers who had the advantage of being just 40 feet from the mall entrance, who after work or for lunch had quick access to all of the mall’s stores and restaurants.
The One Cherry Hill office building thrived for decades with dozens of tenants who provided gainful employment to hundreds of South Jersey residents.
In recent years though the building has seemed somewhat quiet.
At the beginning of September I was in the rear parking lot of the mall behind the office tower, covering the temporary installation of FUNBOX inflatable bounce park… and the one Cherry Hill office tower caught my attention.
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but for about 14 years I worked for Yorkship Business Supply, who in the 1980s and 90s was South Jersey’s largest office products distributor with over 200 employees!
And while working there I got to know likely every single office building in Camden and Gloucester counties. So absolutely as I was standing in the mall parking lot in early September, that One Cherry Hill office tower caught my eye “are there still people working there?”
My research led me to review Cherry Hill permits, and I found that last year a permit was issued to “decommission all three elevators” in the building.
I’m not an engineer but it would seem kind of tough to operate a nine-story office building if you don’t have elevators, so that raised some flags for me. But I wanted to do more research.
Then I noticed that last month additional permits were filed, with the latest permit very clearly saying “Interior Demolition – Preparing for building demolition”
That in itself is enough proof that One Cherry Hill office tower is coming down, but in my years of writing 42 freeway I’ve made many contacts in the construction industry… and several others confirmed the plans.
I did stop in at the Cherry Hill Mall Management Offices today, and later in the afternoon received a call from their media contact who said that the mall and its owner (PREIT) had no comment at this time.
Regarding future plans for the soon to be cleared space? Just my opinion but I don’t think owner PREIT would spend the money right now to tear the building down, unless they had something lined up to go in its place.
That being said industry contacts have shared with me one likely possible candidate, but I need to wait for additional confirmation.
The Cherry Hill Mall opened in 1961 as the first enclosed shopping center east of the Mississippi.
The mall proved to be very popular and almost immediately had several additions.
Opening with 74 shops and a Strawbridge and Clothier’s department store, a year later they added eighteen more stores and the Bamberger’s department store.
Would you believe in 1964 a smaller professional wing with offices was opened as well as a 3,200sf ice skating rink?!
While I don’t remember the rink, does anyone else remember the little indoor children’s party area that had small kids rides?!
This success of the early malls caught on in America and through the 1960s and 70s, enclosed shopping malls popped up all over country and were seen as the new “Town Center” for America’s communities.
So with that Town Center, many projects were developed that also included residential and commercial office space.
A 1966 article in the Courier-Post describes the plans for the one Cherry Hill office tower which would include 100,000 square feet of rentable space.
Another local example of the multi-use development around mall centers was over in Voorhees where the Echelon Mall was developed by the same developer, Rouse. The series of related projects included the mall, a large eight-story office building, the County Library with community meeting spaces, and adjacent residential developments.
And then the Internet arrived.
Absolutely the Cherry Hill Mall is thriving and is likely one of the top performing malls in the country but we all realize that as a whole, the brick-and-mortar retail sector in America is significantly reduced from where we were say… 30 years ago.
I can absolutely connect the time frame within the lifespan of my daughter because I remember telling coworkers in the mid-90s that I was buying her Christmas toys online from a brand new website called Amazon (who had partnered with Toys-R-Us). It was something that was just completely unheard of, and people thought I was risking my entire financial security by putting my credit card info into a website!
And look where we are today with internet shopping!
Now we are in the second wave of internet impacts, as I don’t think anyone realized how much the Internet and remote working capabilities would impact the commercial office sector.
With a big boost from the pandemic’s need to “work from home”, many more companies have permanently shifted to a remote work environment… which is reducing the need for expensive office space.
Moody’s Analytics recently announced that for the very first time the office vacancy rates in the top major metro areas was greater than 20%! Compare that to the financial boom year of 2007 when the vacancy rate was around 13%… And then with 2000 when it was under 10%!
These changes have led to a significant amount of unused commercial office space in America, with considerable projects taking place to either repurpose the buildings for new uses or even demolish them.
The large former headquarters for PHH Mortgage in Mt Laurel was approved to be demolished… for warehouses.
And that eight story office building in Voorhees next to the Echelon Mall (Voorhees Town Center)? It is going through the approval process to become senior housing.

According to the location page of the Roy Rogers fast food restaurant website, a new location is coming to Cherry Hill NJ taking over the former PDQ restaurant location.
News of this location was first reported at the popular South Jersey Food Scene Group, when a follower noticed the location was added to the Roy Rogers location page. Marilyn from SJFS spoke to a Roy Rogers representative who gave additional details.
As mentioned the address given for Roy Rogers is the former PDQ chicken restaurant which closed in November. That location is on Haddonfield Road in Cherry Hill.
If you’re unfamiliar with Roy Rogers they are a fast food restaurant with a focus on burgers and roast beef sandwiches… Including my favorite the Double-R bar burger which it is a burger with fresh ham on top
“Roy’s” also offers delicious fried chicken, shakes… and even breakfast!
The older generation realizes why I have this memory and experience with Roy Rogers…
Roy Rogers was a popular hamburger restaurant in the 1970s and 80s, with locations throughout the South Jersey area. When I was a child they were actually more popular in my household than McDonald’s or Burger King, partially because we lived a few blocks away from the Brooklawn location.
Many of those Gino’s/Roy Rogers restaurant buildings are still around today! Some were converted into Boston Markets (Deptford, Turnersville). Other individual locations went on to become other restaurants such as the Black Horse Diner in Mount Ephraim, or the Dairy Queen in Turnersville… which is probably the most pure version of the building remaining in the area.
Roy Rogers basically disappeared in our area for several decades except for a couple locations that oddly still remained on the New Jersey Turnpike (although since closed)!
The brand was brought back in 2002 when the sons of a former Roy Rogers franchisee reached out to Hardee’s (who owned the brand) and purchased the Roy Rogers restaurant brand to bring it back to life again.
Currently there are about 40 locations in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and two open locations in New Jersey.
There isn’t a lot of details on this planned Cherry Hill location… there has been no press release announcement of a new franchise signee, and Roy Rogers is not answering any questions at this time.
