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 Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument 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 Cleveland, 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 Edgewater 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 Dante or visit Ball-Wilson house, 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 Cleveland, 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 Cleveland, 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 Cleveland, 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.

Cleveland, OH (October 28, 2024) – A serious wrong-way crash occurred today on I-480 near State Road around 12:30 a.m., resulting in two individuals being hospitalized. The incident prompted a response from emergency services and led to significant traffic disruptions on the highway.
Preliminary reports indicate that the crash involved two vehicles, and the damage was so severe that it was difficult for investigators to determine which vehicle was traveling in the wrong direction. The wrong-way driver, identified as an 85-year-old woman, was transported to MetroHealth Hospital in serious condition. A 25-year-old woman, who was also involved in the collision, was taken to Metro Hospital in critical condition.
Following the crash, the highway was limited to a single lane overnight but has since reopened for normal traffic flow. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
This area is part of Northeast Ohio’s “wrong-way corridor,” which stretches from West 154th to East 140th streets. Just last week, a dozen freeway ramps in this region were marked to receive new wrong-way detection signs that flash when drivers enter from the wrong direction. According to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), wrong-way crashes are relatively rare but can be particularly deadly. As of last week, ODOT reported 70 wrong-way crashes in the state this year, resulting in 11 fatalities and 18 serious injuries.
Brent Kovacs, spokesperson for ODOT District 12, expressed the agency’s commitment to improving safety: “We definitely want to see a decrease and improved safety for all the motoring public in Northeast Ohio. A lot of times when we see wrong-way crashes, they hit an innocent motorist, unfortunately. So it’s about improving safety for everyone involved.”
Our thoughts are with those affected by this incident, and we hope for a swift recovery for the injured.
Wrong-Way Accidents in Ohio
Wrong-way accidents pose a significant risk on Ohio roadways, particularly in areas identified as high-risk corridors. These types of accidents can lead to severe injuries and fatalities, often impacting innocent motorists. According to ODOT, proactive measures such as the installation of wrong-way detection signs are crucial in preventing these dangerous incidents.
When involved in a wrong-way accident, it is essential for victims to understand their rights and the legal options available to them. Seeking legal guidance promptly can help ensure victims receive the compensation they deserve for their injuries and losses.
Being involved in a serious accident can be a traumatic experience, leaving victims feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about their next steps. If you or someone you love has been injured in a wrong-way crash, it is vital to reach out to a qualified personal injury attorney who can provide support and guidance during this challenging time.
Local Accident Reports is your trusted resource for post-accident support. We’ve compiled essential information and resources for accident victims like you. Our comprehensive database provides key details and support options for those affected by accidents.

At the city level, Cleveland's law director says it's time to pursue finding investors who will keep the team downtown.
CLEVELAND —
Legal Analysis: While Ohio's attorney general feels the timing is not yet right for Cleveland officials to use the so-called "Art Modell Law" to try to keep the Browns downtown, the city says it will invoke it in an effort to stop the team from moving to Brook Park, so we need to talk about what that could look like.
Legally Speaking, this is not about the city of Cleveland trying to buy the Browns, because that can't happen.
The NFL bans public ownership of teams, so the city couldn't buy the team even if it wanted to. I know you're probably thinking about the Green Bay Packers, which are owned by their fans. That setup dates back to 1923, so the NFL makes an exception for it.
Cleveland Law Director Mark Griffin knows that. He told me, "I think the Modell Law is really about private investors being able to come and purchase or make an offer for a team."
The law (Ohio Revised Code 9.67) says Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam would have to look at that offer, as long as a group can get it together within six months of them giving notice that they plan to move the team. Griffin says that notice has been given, so the clock is running, from the city's perspective.
Haslam Sports Group Chief Operating Officer Dan Jenkins told me, "Obviously, we have a clear understanding of the situation that resulted in the original creation of the Modell Law, and our current stadium efforts and desire to make a transformative investment in Greater Cleveland and the entire Northeast Ohio region could not be more different."
This is the Haslams trying to distinguish this scenario from what happened when Art Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore in 1995, as well as what occurred in Columbus in late 2018 and early 2019. That's when the Modell Law was invoked to try to stop the owners of the Columbus Crew soccer team from taking that team to Texas, and it's also when the Haslams ended up buying that club.
There are key differences between that case and this scenario involving the Browns.
With the Crew, the previous owners were trying to move the team to another state, and they wanted to do it in the middle of their stadium lease. The Haslams want to move the Browns to a different suburb within Greater Cleveland, and they don't plan to do it until their current stadium lease is up at the end of 2028.
The city of Cleveland doesn't seem to think that matters, but Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost does.
"We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, much less 4 1/2 years from now," Yost said. "I was in touch with the Browns organization today, seeking clarification. 'What's going on? What is your timeline?' And I'm convinced this is not ripe for any action. We're monitoring, we're watching it, we're aware what's going on, but everybody needs to take a deep breath. I think there's probably quite a bit of posturing going on with regards to this negotiation."
Assuming for the moment that the Modell Law has successfully been invoked, that's not the only hurdle the city will face when it comes to keeping the Browns downtown. If the city gets a group of investors together and they present an offer to buy the Browns, there's nothing in the law that says the Haslams have to accept it.
Can you force owners to sell a team if the offer is reasonable, or even competitive? That's the untested part of the Modell Law. We don't know what a court would say on that question, because the Columbus Crew case was settled before it got to that point.
That's where things will get interesting if this case makes it before a judge.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – A Mayfield Heights woman who dropped her vote-by-mail ballot in a secure voter drop box on Sunday started to worry when the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections ballot tracker still hadn’t confirmed it three days later.
As of Wednesday night, the tracker was still showing “not returned,” she wrote in an email to cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer.
But there’s no reason to panic, BOE spokesman Mike West assured voters on Thursday.
There is a high volume of ballots being returned ahead of the November presidential election – by mail and by drop box – he said, and staff have to process each of them by hand. A team of bipartisan election officials then have to verify that the information on the ID envelope matches the voter’s registration record.
Throughout that time, though, the ballots remain secure, West stressed.
“Three or four days to process the ballot and enter into the system would not be unusual at this time,” West said. “The process time will continue to become shorter as fewer ballots are returned as the election gets closer.”
On Tuesday, the BOE had processed 69,000 vote-by-mail ballots. By Wednesday, numbers had jumped to 80,000, official data posted on the BOE’s website shows.
That means the office is processing about 10,000 ballots per day. But there remain 93,052 mail-in ballots that have been requested but either have not yet been returned or are waiting to be processed, the website shows. The drop box is emptied at 5 p.m. every night.
As of Wednesday’s count, about 107,000 Cuyahogans had voted, by mail or in person.
The Mayfield Heights woman was one of them, records show. Her online ballot tracker had been updated to show her ballot was “accepted for counting on 10/23/2024.”
“That message means there’s no turning back,” West said. “Voters can rest assured that they have successfully voted.”
Voters using the track-your-ballot feature will see a series of dates confirming their ballots progress. It starts with the date their mail-in application was approved, followed by the date it was mailed.
The next update should be when the ballot is received by the Board of Elections. For voters who are still filling out their ballots or have turned it but have not had their ballot processed, the tracker will read, “not returned.”
Once the ballot is returned and processed, however, the tracker will be updated with the date the ballot was accepted for counting. At that point, the vote is ready to be tabulated on election night, West said.
In some cases where ballots have been returned but are missing information, like a signature or proof of identification, voters will receive a notice in the mail explaining the issue and providing directions for how to correct it.
At that point, voters using the online tracker will see the date the ballot was received but it will read “not accepted for counting.” The tracker will also note the reason the ballot is being challenged.
“The Board of Elections is asking people to be patient,” West said. “All of these things are done slowly, carefully and deliberately.”
Cuyahoga County ballots can be mailed to the BOE office at P.O. Box 89448, Cleveland, OH 44101. To be counted, they must be postmarked by Nov. 4.
Ballots can also be deposited in the secure drop box, open 24 hours, in the BOE’s parking lot, at 2925 Euclid Ave., until polls close on Nov. 5.
Residents can also vote early in-person at the BOE office. Early voting is available weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., except on Tuesday when hours are extended to 8:30 p.m. Weekend voting also starts Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
