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 Casa Grande Ruins National Monument in San Tan Valley, AZ 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 San Tan Valley, AZ 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 San Tan Mountain Regional Park in San Tan Valley, AZ 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 Flemings Prime Steakhouse Wine Bar or visit Governor Hunt Tomb, 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 San Tan Valley, AZ, 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 San Tan Valley, AZ 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 San Tan Valley, AZ 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.

A San Tan Valley woman says her dream home quickly turned into a nightmare after discovering brown water coming from her faucets.
SAN TAN VALLEY, Ariz. — What was supposed to be a dream home has turned into a nightmare for one San Tan Valley woman who said the water coming out of her faucets is anything but clean.
Journey Davis moved into her newly built Nexstar home in the San Tan Valley Foothills a little over a year ago, hoping for a fresh start for herself, her two kids, pets, and chickens.
“This was just supposed to be a place that we could have some peace after the divorce,” Davis said.
But she says that peace quickly disappeared when she noticed something wrong with the water.
“I noticed it in the toilets. It was leaving a film in the toilets and a stain, a ring in the toilet ring. It was like staining yellow, like someone had peed in there. And I was like mad at the kids, like, who's peeing in the toilets and not flushing? And it wasn't them, it was the water was that disgusting,” Davis said.
Since then, Davis says she’s spent $8,000 on water softeners and filtration systems. The builder, Nexstar Homes, provided a $5,000 credit at the time of closing.
Davis said the water inside the house is clearer now, but outside, it’s still a problem — and her brand-new pool can’t be filled using her home’s water.
“It's going to be another $1,000 for the water truck to haul. They're going to have to haul a couple of, probably two different water trucks in, because it's 13,000 gallons. And so they'll be trucking water in all day on Friday next week,” she said.
Davis shared an email from Nexstar Homes, where a company representative wrote:
“Nexstar Homes did not drill the well and we have no bearing on the quality of the water… When you close on your home you are given a credit of $5,000 for water filtration. With that you signed that you understood Nexstar was not responsible for the water quality.”
Davis says she did sign that paperwork but didn’t realize how bad things would be.
“If I had known now what I had known, then I probably wouldn't have bought the house,” Davis said.
She added that several of her neighbors who share the same well are dealing with the same issue, including water that stains their bathtubs, sinks, and toilets.
Nexstar told Davis to contact the well company directly, but she believes the builder should be responsible for fixing the problem that’s impacted her home, which she purchased for more than $700,000.
“I shouldn't have to be chasing down the well person that they contracted to do this job for these five homes,” Davis said.
Nexstar told Davis they could provide the name of the well-drilling company, and she plans to follow up.
In a statement to 12News, a Nexstar representative said in part:
“The purchase contract states that we are not responsible for water quality. That said, we deeply care about every one of our homeowners and their experience with us. Regardless of where responsibility lies, our goal is to ensure our homeowners are happy and satisfied. We’ll be reaching out personally to discuss the situation and work toward a positive resolution.”

A large industrial development approved last month in unincorporated San Tan Valley has now been confirmed as a hypersonic missile manufacturing and testing facility.
According to the Phoenix Business Journal, California-based Castelion Corporation is the company behind "Project Ranger," a 1,105-acre site located north of Florence Junction — within unincorporated San Tan Valley. Arizona State Land Department documents obtained by the publication identify Castelion as the previously undisclosed developer.
County Approvals Already in PlaceOn October 15, 2025, the Pinal County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved three key land-use requests for the project following unanimous recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission:
All three measures passed without any public reference to missiles, defense manufacturing, or Castelion Corporation.
Public Hearings Left Out Key Details
During both Planning and Zoning and Board of Supervisors hearings, the project's attorney, Jordan Rose of Rose Law Group, described it only as a major manufacturing operation expected to become one of Pinal County's largest employers.
At the October 15 meeting, Rose emphasized that "any noxious uses" — including vehicle storage yards, landfills, transfer stations, adult businesses, or prisons were prohibited. However, neither Rose, county staff, nor elected officials mentioned that the end user was a defense contractor or that the site would manufacture and test hypersonic missiles.
Conceptual site plans were presented publicly, but they contained only generic building layouts and infrastructure notes - not the facility's intended purpose.
About Castelion CorporationFounded in 2022 and headquartered in Torrance, California, Castelion is a defense-technology startup specializing in long-range hypersonic strike weapons. The company also operates facilities in Texas.
On October 24, 2025, Castelion announced new integration contracts with the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy for its Blackbeard weapon system, which will be installed on operational platforms and tested through live-fire demonstrations.
In filings with the Arizona State Land Department, the company disclosed plans to store hazardous materials at the San Tan Valley site, including:
Location and AccessThe project site lies south of the Magma Arizona Railroad and Skyline Drive, west of State Route 79. While often described as "north of Florence," the land is in unincorporated San Tan Valley, not within the Town of Florence boundaries.
County documents show plans to extend Skyline Drive east to SR-79 for primary site access and indicate minimal truck traffic - roughly two to three deliveries per week plus outgoing shipments. The project may also reactivate the dormant Magma Arizona Railroad to move materials.
Next Steps
The land, currently owned by the Arizona State Land Department, will be auctioned before construction can begin. Once sold, the developer must secure site-plan approval and obtain all required federal, state, and county permits.
Because the end use involves defense manufacturing and hazardous materials, additional oversight may fall under federal defense, environmental, and transportation regulations.
Regional Impact
If completed, the facility would represent one of the largest industrial investments ever approved in unincorporated San Tan Valley. Officials have said the project could become one of Pinal County's largest employers, though specific job estimates have not been released.
Infrastructure improvements tied to the project — including roadway extensions and possible rail reactivation — could influence future development patterns in the surrounding area.
Background: Arizona's Recruitment Efforts
Earlier this year, Arizona Luminaria reported that U.S. Senator Mark Kelly and the Arizona Commerce Authority had worked to recruit Castelion to the state for a potential site near Tucson. Pima County signed a nondisclosure agreement with the company in 2024, though the final site was instead selected in Pinal County.
What's Next for Residents
While no homes are located within two miles of the site, its scale and purpose have raised questions about transparency and environmental safety. Future public meetings and permitting stages are expected to offer additional opportunities for residents to learn more about how the project may affect traffic, air quality, and long-term land use in unincorporated San Tan Valley.

SAN TAN VALLEY, AZ — A bear cub spotted wandering through San Tan Valley over the past week has been safely captured and relocated by wildlife officials.
According to the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, deputies and the Arizona Game & Fish Department were first called out last week after reports of a small bear roaming the area, but they were unable to locate it at the time.
On Saturday, the cub was seen again near Arizona Farms and Felix Road.
Deputies found the animal perched near the top of a tall palm tree.
With help from Arizona Game & Fish, Rural Metro Fire, and Queen Creek Fire & Medical, crews safely brought the cub down.
Officials say the cub will be transported to northern Arizona, where he’ll be released back into the wild.

The Arizona Department of Transportation announced construction on a long-awaited road improvement project along State Route 24 in the southeast Valley will begin next fall, and officials are hosting a virtual public meeting Tuesday night to gather community input before breaking ground.
The project will add lanes and freeway bridges to SR 24, also known as the Gateway Freeway, between Loop 202 and Ironwood Drive near Mesa Gateway Airport. Construction is expected to take two and a half years to complete.
ADOT says the expansion is necessary due to rapid growth in the southeast Valley and will significantly benefit commuters traveling from areas like Queen Creek to Phoenix and San Tan Valley.
"This is all part of the regional freeway plan aimed at accommodating growth in the southeast valley," said ADOT spokesperson Doug Nintzel.
The project focuses on expanding, widening and improving road conditions along the corridor.
"The entire goal is to alleviate congestion. By putting facilities in that are expanded and can move traffic more efficiently, that's really what we're looking to accomplish," Nintzel said.
When asked why the roadway wasn't built to current specifications initially, Nintzel explained that funding constraints played a major role.
"It really comes down to available funding. ADOT was pretty creative in terms of saying we need to put a roadway in. We need to get a facility, and we need to use the funding that we have available at the time. So let's build this as an interim roadway, the two lanes in each direction, with the future in mind," he said.
ADOT emphasizes community input as a priority for the project.
"We look at it really as a partnership with local communities, because we know construction can be disruptive, but at the same time, we're looking to be responsive with folks and do what we can," the representative added.
Members of the public can join Tuesday night's virtual meeting using Zoom and can find more information on the ADOT website.
