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.

Under the current budget proposal, schools are facing what state officials are calling a 'modest reduction' in funding for fiscal years 2026 and '27.
CLEVELAND — As budget negotiations continue in the Ohio General Assembly, local public school superintendents are voicing concerns about how state funding changes could impact their districts.
Under the current budget proposal, schools are facing what state officials are calling a "modest reduction" in funding for fiscal years 2026 and '27. The Cleveland Metropolitan School District announced Tuesday it is projected to lose a combined $10.7 million in the next two years.
The superintendents from Bedford, Shaker Heights, Richmond Heights, and Warrensville Heights Schools — four districts in the inner-ring suburbs of Cleveland — exclusively spoke to 3News about their concerns over the future of public school funding and its potential consequences.
According to state projections, only Richmond Heights and Shaker Heights will see reductions in state funding over the next two fiscal years. Richmond Heights will face a decrease in the first year, but a gain in the second, while Shaker Heights is expected to see losses both years.
"We need the funds to continue to sustain the excellent services that we provide for students and families, and that's why we think it's really important that the governor and the legislature account for inflation and fully fund the fair school formula," said Dr. David Glasner, superintendent of the Shaker Heights City School District.
Although superintendents acknowledge that districts statewide supported the Cupp-Patterson Fair School Funding Formula implemented in 2022, they argue that said formula fails to account for inflation. Without adjustments, they say, schools cannot keep up with the rising costs of education, which they fear will ultimately impact students.
"Underfunded businesses don't produce quality products," said Donald Jolly II, superintendent of the Warrensville Heights City School District. "If your assembly line is not functioning at full capacity, you're not going to be able to produce the products. It's the same with schools. If you don't have enough teachers, don't have enough bus drivers, you're not able to provide the programming that exists, you're not going to get a quality product."
Glasner echoed those sentiments.
"I really think that we are preparing the leaders of tomorrow," he stated. "I think we have lots of evidence to prove that, and we need to continue investing in our students to keep doing so."
Superintendents warn that without full funding, districts may be forced to increase class sizes and cut busing, staff, class offerings, and extracurricular activities. State officials, however, argue that despite a 5.5% decline in public school enrollment since 2020, funding for traditional public-school districts has increased.
According to the state, funding is projected to grow by $1.2 billion from fiscal years 2021-27. Ohio's Office of Budget Management says "guarantee" provisions have provided ongoing state funding, which allowed schools and districts to avoid right-sizing their operations.
The Cupp-Patterson Fair School Funding Plan is a complex formula that funds students where they are educated, not where they live. The formula considers student enrollment and a district's capacity to raise funds locally through property taxes and voter-approved levies.
"The previously adopted Cupp-Patterson funding formula is designed to reduce state share when local share increases due to increased property tax revenue," Dan Tierney, press secretary for Gov. Mike DeWine, wrote in an email to 3News. "Due to the increase in property values across Ohio, Cupp-Patterson is designed to reduce state payments in such a scenario, even when the formula is fully funded, as it is in the Governor's proposal."
For clarification, Ohio law limits how much schools can collect when property values increase during a levy period, except for specific provisions known as inside millage, which allow districts to collect additional funds when property taxes rise.
Public school districts are funded through a combination of state and federal funds, local property taxes, and in some cases school district income taxes. As districts face a potential loss of state funding, school leaders warn the additional tax burden will shift to the local taxpayer.
"If we lose state funding, we're going to need to go to the ballot sooner, more frequently, and for more money," Glasner explained.
"If we continue to look at the impacts of funding being ripped away from us, the taxpayer is really the only person we can go to," added Dr. Marnisha Brown, the superintendent of Richmond Heights Local Schools.
Richmond Heights voters rejected an income tax and bond issue last November.
"It wasn't that they (the community) didn't support the schools, but they could not afford it," Brown said.
Richmond Heights wasn’t the only public school district to see voters reject their ballot initiatives at the polls. According to the Ohio School Boards Association, only 51% of Ohio school tax issues passed last November, down from 70% the previous year.
The superintendents caution that continued taxpayer rejections could not only weaken public school districts, but also have long-term consequences for the entire state.
"It's going to continue to hurt our ability to support the next generation of residents, citizens, leaders, workforce members in the state of Ohio." Glasner said.
Perhaps one of the biggest areas of contention in the budget is the expansion of Ohio's EdChoice program that provides public funds for students to attend non-public schools.
Starting in FY 2024, the state significantly raised the family income eligibility cap, dramatically increasing participation in the voucher program. In FY 2024, the state spent about $405 million on EdChoice expansion to fund scholarships for over 86,800 students. The amount is an increase from the $124.4 million the state spent the previous year for 22,600 students.
The increasing flow of public funds to private schools prompted public schools to sue the state.
"What we found through this lawsuit is that recently, at least 70% of the families that were taking vouchers were already paying for that private education, but once it was expanded, they began to take the money that the state offered. That money comes from the same line item that funds public schools," Brown argued. "It is truly undermining the public atmosphere of what we do, how we educate our students, and the funds that we're able to use to do that."
Brown says Richmond Heights Local Schools is the lead plaintiff on the lawsuit. The superintendents argue that sending public funds to private schools is not fair or equitable because state-funded private schools do not face the same level of state and federal regulation as public schools.
All four districts are part of the "Vouchers Hurt Ohio" lawsuit, which is expected to go to trial this year.
The state budget will be approved by the end of June. Dr. Cassandra Johnson, the superintendent of the Bedford City School District, says they plan to continue advocating for children while helping the community understand school funding and the impact of not funding public schools.
"Whether that be … going to Columbus, we've been working with our representatives and just continuing to try to communicate the importance of public education in every realm," Johnson said. "At the end of the day, we're not going to give up on our children."

BAY VILLAGE, Ohio -- Rep. Max Miller, R-7, is opting for a virtual Town Hall meeting at 7 p.m. Monday (March 24) rather than an in-person discussion with constituents.
According to Miller’s website, “You deserve transparency and accountability.”
However, the decision to host the Town Hall online has drawn criticism from constituents who are frustrated with his lack of direct engagement.
Some residents are furious about what they perceive as the erosion of democratic values, particularly in light of the influence of unelected figures like Elon Musk, who they feel is wielding undue power in political matters.
Constituents are eager to voice their concerns about the state of democracy and the impact of corporate interests on governance.
They are left questioning why Miller has opted for a virtual format instead of an in-person meeting where real dialogue could take place.
Critics have labeled Miller’s choice to hold a virtual town hall as cowardly, suggesting that it allows him to avoid facing the anger and frustration of voters directly.
Many feel the online format is insufficient for addressing the serious concerns they have about the direction of the country and the influence of powerful individuals who are not accountable to the public.
As the political landscape continues to shift, constituents are increasingly vocal about their dissatisfaction with elected officials who they believe are not representing their interests.
The upcoming town hall presents an opportunity for Miller to hear their concerns, but the virtual format raises doubts about his willingness to confront the issues head-on.
Residents, though encouraged to prepare questions and topics for discussion, are skeptical about whether Miller will adequately address their concerns regarding the state of democracy and the influence of figures like Musk.
For more information about the town hall meeting and to stay updated on Miller’s initiatives, visit his official website, maxmiller.house.gov.

'Cleveland, home to NASA Glenn Research Center, offers a significantly lower cost of living and operating expenses than Washington.'
CLEVELAND — In a letter to President Donald Trump Friday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine backed Cleveland as the right place for NASA's next headquarters.
With the lease on the agency's current headquarters in Washington D.C. expiring in 2028, DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel argued this is the "optimal time" to relocate NASA's operations to the NASA Glenn Research Center.
In the letter, which DeWine shared in full on social media Saturday, DeWine and his lieutenant governor hailed Cleveland as a "much more economical location" and touted "significant efficiencies through co-location with a vibrant NASA Research Center" in Glenn.
"Ohio is the birthplace of aviation, the heart of America's aerospace industry, and a critical hub for advanced technology, research, and manufacturing," the letter reads. "This move would also align with the Administration's efforts to decentralize federal agencies. Cleveland, home to NASA Glenn Research Center, offers a significantly lower cost of living and operating expenses than Washington. Relocating NASA HQ to Ohio would result in substantial savings for taxpayers, while maintaining access to world-class aerospace research and development resources."
