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 The Kizer House 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 Granger, IN is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

After speaking to the independent living center where she resided, our family decided to hire Always Best Care for the meds (and then later for 24-hour aids). We cannot say enough about Darlene and Candy, as well as the numerous aids. Even at the end when our mom no longer needed the meds, they would often stop by to see her anyway. We generally do not give reviews of companies, but their caring approach was exceptional and we decided it was appropriate for others who need these services to know about our experience.”

“I have worked with more home health agencies than I care to remember, both in GA and MI, when I worked in healthcare; and I have to say that Always Best Care is one of the best home health care agencies that I have found since the early 90's !!! I have been a client with Always Best Care since February 2022 and I have been extremely pleased with the help I have received both from my caregivers and the office staff. All the staff work hard and the quality of care is exceptional!!! The few occasions that I didn't like a caregiver because of either poor work ethic or personality, Always Best Care always took care of finding another caregiver to better meet my needs ASAP!! When I first started with Always Best Care I did get a few caregivers that weren't a good fit. But, within a very short period of time my scheduler learned my specific needs and personality and she found caregivers for me that were a wonderful match!! As in every area of healthcare, the high turnover of employees is to be expected!!! But, Always Best Care has always made sure that I have a new caregiver that matches my needs and expectations!! I have and would, highly recommend Always Best Care for your home health daily care!!”
“We used ABC several years ago for my dad, after he had a stroke. I called a few months ago to set up a care plan for my elderly mom. She had a hip replaced, and lives alone. I knew we would feel better having someone there to help her and visit with her until she could get up and around on her own. ABC works through our scheduling nightmares (mom tends to send people home early, and tell them not to come back)….and they have been SO patient with our ever changing and increasing needs for mom. Their response time and communication are impeccable!!”

“I have used quite a few different providers and ABC is by far the best company. From the office staff to the caregivers, they are doing what they love and it shows.”
“Always best care has always been there when I needed them! They make it convenient for me to take care of my father. I most definitely recommend them!”
“Great place to work at very professional and appreciative for their staff”
“Overall a great company to work for! They do a wonderful job recognizing caregivers; from big recognition like a monthly caregiver award and random drawings, to small recognition such as any time you visit the office you are free to grab snacks, beverages, gear and more often than not there is some type of food they have ordered that is available. They really don’t hold back in this area! There has been quite a bit of changes made in office positions within the last year. Response time, outside of the scheduling department, can be improved upon.”
“They really help people when they need it”
“I've had caregivers for about 5 years now. Only having been disappointed and frustrated. Since Always Best Care came into my life, my worries have ended. I never knew if previous caregivers were going to show up, or do what I needed. Everytime they would complete a task, they would sit down and be on their phone. Kari and Jamisha finish a task and right to the next. No problems. My mind has been put at ease. They are very professional yet so so friendly. They ask, what else they can do for me. I also have my ABC emergency call button. Now I have peace of mind if an emergency should arise. My case coordinator Stephanie Stevens. Stays right on top of my case. Thank you so much for making my life easier. I have recommended your company to others that may need assistance in the future.”
“Carole is an excellent caring professional. She has been extremely helpful in advising us and in scheduling care. With respect to the caregivers, we have no complaints. We want to give a special thank you to Rhona for her time and effort in creating a special bond with our mother.”
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 Klinedinst 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 Ruth's Chris Steak House or visit Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site, 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 Granger, IN, 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 Granger, IN 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 Granger, IN 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 magic is back—and with a whole new generation of wizards! HBO has officially unveiled the young stars stepping into the iconic roles of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley for its highly anticipated television reboot. This casting revelation has stirred excitement across the fandom as the world prepares to return to the enchanting halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
At the heart of this major announcement is the casting of Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger. The talented young actress, known for her commanding stage presence in London’s West End production of “Matilda: The Musical,” is now set to step into one of the most beloved roles in modern literature and cinema. Stanton’s selection has ignited curiosity and celebration, particularly due to her proven acting chops and magnetic onstage charisma.
Table of Contents
Joining Stanton are Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley. McLaughlin, who has appeared in the upcoming Sky comedy series “Grow,” brings a balance of intensity and charm to the role of the Boy Who Lived. Meanwhile, Stout, making his major screen debut, promises to infuse Ron Weasley with a fresh, heartfelt authenticity. Together, these young actors form the central trio of a reimagined magical saga destined to captivate both longtime fans and a new generation.
HBO’s casting directors, Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, spearheaded a global search that attracted over 30,000 audition submissions. Showrunner Francesca Gardiner and executive producer Mark Mylod praised the trio’s natural chemistry and exceptional talent, signaling a bold and heartfelt return to the wizarding world. Filming is set to commence in summer 2025.
The reboot isn’t just a remake—it aims to delve deeper into the books than the original films ever could. With Warner Bros. Television and Brontë Film and TV behind the project, and author J.K. Rowling onboard as executive producer, expectations are sky-high for a faithful and rich adaptation. However, the showrunners have emphasized that the narrative will stay focused on the story, separate from Rowling’s personal views, ensuring the magic of the books remains at its core.
Rounding out the early casting announcements are several acclaimed actors portraying the legendary Hogwarts staff:
This diverse and talented ensemble hints at a richly layered narrative experience, with each actor bringing their unique gravitas and flair to the magical world. From spells and duels to deep emotional arcs, this cast is geared to elevate the franchise to new storytelling heights.
Fans of the books and movies have long debated the need for a reboot, but the allure of a more complete, serialized adaptation remains strong. For younger audiences who missed the original theatrical releases and for readers yearning for a scene-by-scene retelling, this HBO series presents an unmatched opportunity. By faithfully adapting each book across multiple episodes, the new series can capture the nuanced character development and darker themes that the films had to condense.
Set to begin in the summer of 2025, production will likely take place across various iconic UK locations. As teasers, trailers, and on-set leaks begin to emerge, fans will get their first glimpses of how this new version of Hogwarts and its students take shape. Given the initial casting, expectations are already soaring.
While there’s excitement, there’s also scrutiny. The legacy of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint looms large. Yet, fans on social platforms are expressing cautious optimism. Stanton, McLaughlin, and Stout are not just stepping into characters—they’re becoming cultural touchstones for a new generation. Will they measure up? Only time will tell, but the foundation looks strong.
Hermione Granger has long been a symbol of intelligence, courage, and empathy. Arabella Stanton’s portrayal offers a chance to expand this legacy while also redefining it. With her theatrical prowess, there is hope that this Hermione will be as fiercely brilliant and deeply relatable as the character J.K. Rowling imagined decades ago.
The magic is being reborn, and with Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, the heart of Hogwarts is in very good hands. The new Harry Potter cast for HBO promises a powerful journey ahead for fans both new and old.
Arabella Stanton has been cast as Hermione Granger. She previously played Matilda in “Matilda: The Musical” in London’s West End.
Filming is expected to begin in the summer of 2025.
Notable cast members include Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, and John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore.
This reboot is intended to be a more faithful adaptation of the original books, with each season focusing on a single book.
Yes, J.K. Rowling is an executive producer of the HBO series, though showrunners have emphasized that her personal views will not influence the show’s content.

HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series announced its cast on Monday, which includes Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout as the show’s leading trio: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.
The news comes two years after they announced the show, which has been described as a “faithful adaptation” of the J.K. Rowling book series. Rowling will also serve as an executive producer on the show.
With the series st to go into production this summer, here’s everything we know about Stanton, the new Hermione.
Although Stanton is only 11 years old, the same age Emma Watson was when she played Hermione in the first installment of the Harry Potter film series, she has extensive stage experience, according to RadioTimes.com. From 2023 to 2024, she played Matilda Wormwood in Matilda the Musical in London’s West End, and she starred in Starlight Express at Wembley Park Theatre in England.
Of the former, Stanton wrote on Instagram that it was her dream role.
“I started auditioning for Matilda the Musical the week after my 9th birthday and feel so lucky and honoured to have spent the age of 9 being able to play Matilda Wormwood at the Cambridge Theatre, London for the Royal Shakespeare Company (and at Buckingham Palace for an extra special performance at the BBC 500 Words Final),” she captioned a post reflecting on the show. “Being able to play the part of Matilda as my West End debut has been incredible .. dreams really can come true!”
A post shared by Arabella Stanton (@arabellastantonofficial)
Stanton isn’t the only young actor with an impressive background on the show. According to RadioTimes.com, McLaughlin will appear in two TV shows: the BBC’s upcoming action series Gifted and the Sky comedy Grow. Like Stanton, he has stage experience, having acted in Macbeth at the Royal Highland Centre alongside Ralph Fiennes, who appeared in the Harry Potter films as Lord Voldemort.
The new Harry Potter show will be Stout’s first significant acting role. The Scotsman reported that he appeared in an advertisement for Albert Bartlett, a British potato brand.

“The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic on screen,” said executive producers of the series, Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod, in a joint statement.
“We want to thank the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It has been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talents out there,” they added.
The team was reviewing up to 1,000 tapes per day, according to HBO. Previously, it had been stipulated that the three child actors must reside in the United Kingdom or Ireland and be between nine and eleven years old in April 2025.
The three chosen ones are emerging talents who are starting to make a name for themselves in the industry.
The production company SC Films confirmed that McLaughlin, the new Harry Potter, recently filmed the family comedy “Grow” for Sky, starring “Hot Fuzz” actor Nick Frost, who will now play the kind gardener Rubeus Hagrid.
Last December, the adventure series “Gifted”, set to premiere soon, revealed that McLaughlin was part of the Scottish children’s cast of the BBC program based in Edinburgh.
McLaughlin also participated in a production of William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh, alongside actor Ralph Fiennes, a three-time Oscar nominee, and “Luther” actress Indira Varma.
Stanton, the new Hermione, has experience in theater. She has participated in musical productions such as Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Starlight Express,” playing the role of the Control narrator. And in “Matilda: The Musical,” by the Royal Shakespeare Company, in the role of a child prodigy.
Stout’s agent, Urban Talent Youth, based in Manchester, included him in the advertising campaign for Albert Bartlett’s Jersey Royal potatoes.

In April, HBO confirmed the first actors of the cast of the series, among which are the American John Lithgow in the role of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry headmaster Albus Dumbledore, the British Paapa Essiedu as the cruel professor Severus Snape, the British Janet McTeer as professor Minerva McGonagall, and Nick Frost as the beloved Rubeus Hagrid.
The rest of the confirmed actors so far, according to a statement published by Warner Bros. Discovery, are: British theater actor Luke Thallon as Professor Quirinus Quirrell, the main antagonist of the first saga, and Welsh comedian and five-time BAFTA winner Paul Whitehouse as Hogwarts caretaker Argus Filch, devoid of magic.
In the eight movies, Dumbledore was portrayed by Irish actors Richard Harris and Michael Gambon (deceased), while Snape was played by Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane (also deceased) portrayed Hagrid, and Maggie Smith (also deceased) played McGonagall.
The series, whose filming is expected to begin in the summer at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, promises to be a faithful adaptation of the Harry Potter books by author and executive producer J.K. Rowling.
