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 Pythian Castle 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 Toledo, OH 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 Wildwood Preserve Metropark 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 Georgio's Cafe International or visit Toledo History 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 Toledo, OH, 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 Toledo, OH 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 Toledo, OH 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.

The concert series, held in downtown Toledo, promises live music, food and family fun. It’s also seen as an economic generator for local restaurants and bars.
TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo’s popular downtown concert series, Party in the Park, returns this Friday, offering free live music and community festivities throughout the summer.
Local leaders and businesses say the event is a welcome boost for families and downtown establishments.
Party in the Park will run nearly every Friday throughout the season.
The concert series, held at Promenade Park, promises live music, food and family fun. It’s also seen as an economic driver for local restaurants and bars.
“It helps out here, especially during the weekend,” Letrae Walker, manager at City Egg, said. “People can come out here and travel, get good views. It's just a beautiful place to be out here during the weekend.”
ConnecToledo, one of the organizers of the event, has teamed up with local bars and restaurants to host pre- and post-party events, creating a vibrant nightlife atmosphere.
“We’re going to have 10 local options for cocktails on site,” said Cheryl Hardy, community engagement and activation specialist with ConnecToledo. “We're very, very excited that this is something local.”
For many residents, the concert series holds a nostalgic place in their hearts.
“I remember coming to Party in the Park in the past. So glad that it's coming back,” Philip Buerk, a former Toledo resident, said. “It was a nice activity down here, especially with downtown, how revitalized it is now with all the new shops and places to hang out. So it's a really nice, good event for families to come to.”
City leaders echo that sentiment, saying the return of Party in the Park brings more than just entertainment — it’s a sign of community spirit and resilience.
“It's just going to be a good time for everybody to come down on Friday and enjoy a free concert in the park,” Toledo City Council President Carrie Hartman said.
Hartman added that the free concerts are especially meaningful during tough economic times.
“I think this is really going to benefit Toledoans,” she said. “Especially because we know a lot of families are struggling right now. It’s hard out there. So free concerts downtown that everybody can enjoy — bring your families, bring a blanket, sit in the park. I think this is just a lovely thing that we can do to bring community and fun to our downtown city.”
Party in the Park is expected to draw hundreds to the heart of downtown Toledo each week, celebrating music, local culture and the city’s ongoing revitalization.

Toledo, OH (May 21, 2025) – A person was injured in a two-vehicle collision Tuesday in the Five Points-Library Village area of Toledo, according to local reports.
The crash occurred at the intersection of Berkeley Dr and W Sylvania Ave, a busy residential-commercial corridor on the city’s west side. Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene and provided medical assistance to at least one injured individual. Authorities have not released specific information regarding the severity of the injuries or whether others were involved.
The intersection experienced temporary traffic disruption as crews worked to manage the scene and remove the vehicles. Police are currently investigating the cause of the crash.
We extend our well wishes to the injured individual and hope for a smooth and complete recovery.
Intersections like Berkeley Dr and W Sylvania Ave are common crash sites in densely populated areas of Toledo. With local traffic, nearby schools, and frequent turning vehicles, even routine drives through these zones can become dangerous—particularly when drivers are distracted, fail to yield, or misjudge oncoming traffic.
Two-vehicle crashes at intersections often involve side impacts or front-end collisions, both of which can lead to a range of injuries. Prompt medical response, like the one seen in this incident, is vital to preventing complications and ensuring proper care for those involved.
As part of its traffic safety efforts, Toledo continues to assess intersection improvements and implement public awareness campaigns. Still, preventing crashes ultimately relies on driver awareness and caution—especially in mixed-use corridors where pedestrians, buses, and cyclists are also present.
If you or someone you care about was injured in this crash, now is the time to explore your options for care and support.
Injured in a two-vehicle crash? Let Local Accident Reports help you navigate what comes next. We connect you with trusted medical care, recovery guidance, and local support so you don’t have to handle the aftermath alone. Contact Local Accident Reports today and take your first step toward healing.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo is remembering one of its most iconic voices,. Bob Kelly, a beloved radio personality whose career spanned more than five decades, died on his 84th birthday. Known off-air as Norm Plummer, Kelly leaves behind a legacy of humor, kindness and inspiration in the broadcasting community.
Kelly was a fixture on Toledo’s radio airwaves for over 50 years, earning the admiration of colleagues and listeners alike. Friends and former coworkers said his unique personality and dedication to his craft made a lasting impact on the community.
“He was funny. He was quick-witted, just sharp as a tack with the lines. But mostly he was a kind person, very gentle,” said Tom Waniewski, a longtime friend and former co-worker of Kelly.
Former WTOL 11 news anchor Jerry Anderson, who worked in Toledo television for nearly four decades, said Kelly helped shape his own career in broadcasting.
“He wasn’t that voice of God guy on radio. He was just Bob,” Anderson said. “He had a perfect voice for what he did in radio. And so quick, so funny. I mean, boom, boom, boom. His mind, I just marveled at.”
Anderson shared a personal moment with Kelly that left a lasting impression.
“I told him, ‘Bob, you’re the reason I got into broadcasting.’ And without missing a beat he goes, ‘Well, that’s a lot of blame to lay on any one person.’ And that was just Bob,” Anderson recalled.
Both Anderson and Waniewski emphasized the influence Kelly had on their lives and the legacy he left behind.
“Toledo has lost—we’ve lost—an icon,” Anderson said. “But you know what, they can’t swipe your memories from you. And I have a lot of good ones with Bob.”
“I never heard him say a bad word about anybody,” Waniewski added. “And it was important to me, as my career was growing, that he was very supportive of what I did.”
Funeral arrangements for Bob Kelly have not yet been announced. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

It's not identity theft — because "Identity theft is not a joke, Jim" — but there will be a familiar face in the cast when the spinoff of NBC's beloved "The Office" premieres later this year. And this new show will be set in Ohio.
Yes, "The Office" is finally getting a spinoff, "The Paper," USA TODAY reports. NBC's streaming service Peacock has picked up the new mockumentary-style comedy from Greg Daniels (who adapted the British version of "The Office" for the U.S.) and Michael Koman ("Nathan for You"). And it's set in the same universe as the Dunder Mifflin crew.
So, what will "The Paper" be about? And when will it air? Here's what to know.
Peacock announced May 12 that "The Paper" will premiere on the streaming service in September, USA TODAY reports.
Toledo, Ohio is the new Scranton, Pennsylvania in "The Paper," which focuses on the floundering newsroom of local paper The Truth Teller, according to a news release.
"The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters," Peacock said May 7, as reported by USA TODAY.
Film Toledo shared that it helped "The Paper" production team source authentic memorabilia, brands and stories to make the show more authentic and accurate, according to WTOL.
The show follows the resurrection of a newspaper named the Toledo Truth Teller, but there's no indication that is or was a real publication in the Glass City.
'Welcome to Flatch' spotlights fictional Ohio town
Original "The Office" cast member Oscar Nunez is reprising his role in the new series, which also stars Domnhall Gleeson ("About Time," General Hux in the Star Wars sequel trilogy) and Sabrina Impacciatore ("The White Lotus).
USA TODAY reports that Peacock announced "The Paper" premiere at its annual upfront presentation in New York, where Gleeson, Nunez and Impacciatore debuted a clip of the series which Gleeson described as being about “underdog characters that are banding together to keep journalism alive.”
"The Office," which launched the careers of Steve Carell, John Krasinski and Mindy Kaling, concluded its nine-season NBC run in 2013. It slowly blossomed into a major hit, especially on streaming. In 2020, "The Office" was the most-streamed show, according to Nielsen, with more than 57 billion minutes viewed.
