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.
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 Chesterfield, VA 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.
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. 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 Chesterfield, VA, 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 Chesterfield, VA 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.
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 Chesterfield, VA 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.

Medics and fire crews provided critical assistance to those suffering a variety of injuries in the aftermath of the crash.
The accident was reported on April 25, 2025, just after 5:00 p.m., during one of the area's peak traffic periods. Upon arrival, first responders encountered multiple damaged vehicles blocking several lanes at the busy commercial intersection. The specific number of injured individuals has not been disclosed, but several parties were evaluated and treated at the scene, with some requiring transportation to nearby hospitals for additional medical care.
Authorities confirmed that portions of Hull Street Road experienced significant traffic delays as crews worked to secure the area and conduct a preliminary investigation.

An investigation is actively underway, with further details expected to emerge in the coming days.
Our hearts go out to all those impacted by this crash, and we extend our best wishes for a swift and full recovery to the injured victims.
Major roadways like Hull Street Road in Chesterfield are particularly prone to serious accidents due to their high traffic volumes, frequent intersections, and the mix of commercial and commuter vehicles. Incidents at intersections such as Hull Street Rd and Call Federal Dr often involve complex crash dynamics, including issues with visibility, right-of-way violations, and sudden stops that can lead to multi-vehicle pileups.
Today’s accident underscores the urgent need for increased caution when navigating busy intersections. Drivers are urged to maintain safe following distances, obey traffic signals, and remain vigilant, especially during high-traffic periods like late afternoons and early evenings. The injuries resulting from intersection collisions can be severe, ranging from fractures and soft tissue injuries to head trauma, often requiring extensive recovery efforts.
In Virginia, accident victims have important legal rights to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages following a serious crash. However, the immediate aftermath of an accident can be overwhelming, making it crucial for injured individuals to access trusted local resources quickly. Early documentation, thorough medical evaluation, and professional guidance are all key steps toward securing the support needed for physical, emotional, and financial recovery.

Chesterfield, VA (April 25, 2025) – Emergency responders from Chesterfield Fire and EMS were quick to act following a reported injury accident at 4304 River Rd on Friday afternoon. First responders, including paramedics and fire crews, arrived promptly to assist multiple individuals suffering from a variety of injuries after the crash. The incident was first dispatched around 2:40 p.m., drawing a significant emergency response to the busy area.
Authorities reported that the accident involved multiple vehicles, creating traffic congestion along River Rd near its connection with several residential streets. Officials have not yet confirmed the exact number of individuals involved or the extent of the injuries sustained, but paramedics treated several parties at the scene before transporting some victims to nearby hospitals for further care.
As of the latest updates, sections of River Rd remained partially closed while accident investigators worked diligently to document the scene and determine the circumstances leading up to the crash. No citations or charges have been announced at this time, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this crash, and we wish a full and speedy recovery to all those injured.
Chesterfield has seen a steady increase in vehicle collisions, especially along key corridors like River Rd, where a combination of residential traffic, speed factors, and sometimes limited visibility contributes to serious accidents. According to recent traffic safety reports, areas like River Rd present unique risks due to a mix of residential driveways, turning vehicles, and fluctuating speed zones.
Accidents such as the one reported today highlight the need for continual vigilance behind the wheel and the importance of emergency preparedness. Drivers are reminded to reduce speed in residential zones and remain alert to the possibility of sudden stops or turning vehicles. In incidents like today's crash, where multiple individuals are hurt, the recovery process can be physically and emotionally challenging, often requiring not just immediate medical care but also long-term rehabilitation and support.
Victims of car accidents in Virginia also face complex insurance and legal landscapes. Understanding one’s rights, documenting injuries, and seeking appropriate help early on are essential steps to ensure recovery is not hindered by administrative delays or disputes. Local agencies and support networks in Chesterfield can provide vital resources to assist those injured and their families as they navigate the difficult aftermath of a serious collision.
If you or a loved one has been hurt in a crash similar to the incident on River Rd, reaching out to professional resources quickly can make a crucial difference. Early intervention often helps ensure access to medical care, legal guidance, and emotional support necessary for a full recovery.

Injury accidents, especially those occurring on busy roads like Courthouse Rd, pose significant risks not only to those directly involved but also to other motorists and first responders. With numerous intersections and turning zones along this corridor, visibility and right-of-way violations are frequent contributing factors to collisions.

BLACKSBURG, Va. — The Virginia Tech and Cristo Rey Richmond High School communities are mourning the death of José Bautista, a student from Chesterfield County.
Bautista, 19, died as a result of an April 19 crash in West Virginia, according to the university.
"José was an incredible child—kind, respectful, and loving, as all his friends and family describe him," the Bautista family said in an article posted on the Virginia Tech website. "We were blessed to have him for 19 years and will miss him dearly. We can never express enough how extraordinary our son was. Thank you for all your prayers and displays of affection for José."
Bautista, a freshman, studied engineering during his time at Virginia Tech and was a member of the Galileo living-learning community in Pritchard Hall.
Cristo Rey Richmond High School remembered Bautista as a "very intelligent, determined young man."
"[He] accomplished his dream of attending Virginia Tech (with a full-ride scholarship, no less). He was finishing up his freshman year there and already planning his coursework this summer to prepare for sophomore year," a school spokesperson shared. "José will be remembered fondly by all who had the opportunity to meet, know, and love him. His kindness, humor, leadership, and true grit touched so many lives. Our prayers and thoughts remain with José’s family and friends during this very difficult time."
The Cristo Rey community held a private prayer service after school on Tuesday and set up a memorial altar in the Cristo Rey Chapel for anyone who would like to visit.
The Cristo Rey family offers their deepest condolences to the Bautista and Castro families on the passing of their beloved José. His time with us was too short, but his impact was immeasurable."
Virginia Tech offered the following resources for students following this sudden loss:
