Home Care In Kingsbury, IN

Home Care Kingsbury, IN

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

“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!!”

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.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Kingsbury, IN?

lm-check

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.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

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.

lm-check

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.

Home Care Kingsbury, IN
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

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 Kai Sushi or visit National Public Housing Museum, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

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.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

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 Kingsbury, 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.

 Elderly Care Kingsbury, IN

Affordable 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:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your IN's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care Kingsbury, IN

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

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 Kingsbury, 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.

Assisted Living Referral Services

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.


Respite Care Kingsbury, IN

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:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Kingsbury, IN

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:

  • Trustwell Living at Kingsbury Place
Home Care Kingsbury, IN

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 Cardinals are in the midst of a difficult 2022 NFL season that has seen the team fail to live up to expectations amid injuries and offensive inefficiencies.

And amid these struggles, it appears that the relationship between coach Kliff Kingsbury and starting quarterback Kyler Murray has soured.

Kingsbury and Murray have been together in Arizona since Kingsbury's first season in 2019. The Cardinals spent the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft on Murray in the hopes that he could run a version of Kingsbury's Air Raid offense at the NFL level.

That system worked during the early stages of Kingsbury's tenure and amid their 10-2 surge to start the 2021 NFL season.

But as things have gone downhill in 2022, frustrations have evidently emerged on both sides. That has caused the two to butt heads throughout the season and ahead of Murray's injury.

What has led to the deterioration of the relationship between Murray and Kingsbury? Here's what has been reported about it as the Cardinals face a reckoning to end the 2022 NFL season.

Kliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray's relationship

Kingsbury and Murray have known one another long-term. The veteran coach first recruited Murray to Texas Tech when he was in charge of the program there 10 years ago.

However, as a recent ESPN story outlines, that connection has done little to help their relationship overcome some bumpy patches in 2022.

"It's not good," a team source said of the duo's relationship last month, per ESPN. "It seems particularly bad this year."

"They're cordial," another team source added about the duo. "It's not the relationship you want from your quarterback and coach."

What has led to tension between the two parties? In part, it has been due to the team's offensive struggles.

The Cardinals rank 21st in total yards and 18th in scoring this season, both of which are the worst marks of Kingsbury's coaching career. Murray posted a passer rating of 87.2 before suffering a season-ending torn ACL. That's the lowest rating of his four-year career.

Year Total yards rank Points per game rank Murray's passer rating
2019 21st 16th 87.4
2020 6th 13th 94.3
2021 8th 11th 100.6
2022 21st 18th 87.2

MORE: How long is Kyler Murray out? Latest news, injury updates on Cardinals QB

Part of the issue is that Arizona's offense dealt with many injury issues during the 2022 NFL season. Another part of the issue, however, falls on Murray, who wanted to run the offense differently than Kingsbury. That has led to a muddled mess of an offense at times, as ESPN detailed.

While one source close to Murray said the quarterback wanted more freedom at the line of scrimmage, particularly with running plays, multiple sources said plays designed to get certain playmakers the ball often didn't come to fruition, either due to miscommunication, a play breaking down or Murray improvising, and the disjointed attack created unpredictability for some of the team's pass-catchers.

Meanwhile, things off the field have been problematic as well. The reason? The two once-close leaders haven't been able to effectively communicate with one another.

As multiple sources close to the situation pointed out, both Kingsbury and Murray have struggled with the direct communication necessary to calm the tension that had become obvious to those around them.

Before Murray's injury, Kingsbury was described as 'extremely frustrated' with the quarterback per a team source, believing that his negativity, if not toxic, was 'starting to get to people' around the building.

As ESPN's story explained, Kingsbury isn't one to call out his players, but his inability to get through to Murray certainly seems to be playing a big role in the disjointed nature of the Cardinals.

And that leads them to a crossroads.

IYER: Sean Payton leads list of best potential Kliff Kingsbury replacements

What's next for the Cardinals?

Clearly, the Cardinals need to do one of two things: fix the relationship between Murray and Kingsbury or remove the problem altogether.

The Cardinals won't be able to do the latter with Murray; he signed a five-year, $230.5 million mega-deal to remain in Arizona after some offseason drama. He then tore his ACL in Week 14 against the Patriots, so it's hard to imagine any team being willing to take on that contract while giving up significant draft pick compensation.

As such, the attention will turn to Kingsbury's status with the team. He signed an extension with the Cardinals during the 2022 offseason as well that was set to tie him to Arizona until 2027; the Cardinals can get out of that deal easier than that of Murray, though they will have to pay a hefty buyout to Kingsbury.

That said, if Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell wants to save some money — or if he still believes that Kingsbury is the right man for the job — then the focus will be on rebuilding the trust and line of communication between the two key team leaders.

As ESPN mentioned, the two are "cordial." So, perhaps not all hope is lost in getting the two back on the same page, especially as Murray looks to recover from a major injury.

The USC offense was pretty darned elite in 2022 but it could get even better in 2023 thanks to Kliff Kingsbury‘s impact. The Trojans hired the long-time offensive guru this offseason.

Kingsbury is serving as an offensive analyst, so he can’t work hands-on with players in practices. But he can provide feedback in the meeting rooms, film rooms and in other areas the team might find such feedback useful.

“Kliff coming in, it’s been great, because he’s been in many different positions, whether it’s offensive coordinator in college or head coach in college or head coach in pros and things like that,” quarterback Caleb Williams said. “So he’s able to give a bunch of different ideas, things that worked in the pros, things that worked in college.”

If Kingsbury’s ideas lead to even more innovation by the USC offense, watch out.

The Trojans ranked third nationally in passing offense, total offense and scoring offense last fall, one of the elite outfits in the country. It wasn’t scoring that was USC’s problem, it was stopping quality opponents from scoring.

Kliff Kingsbury’s impact likely won’t extend to the defensive side of the ball, but he’s been a quality presence around the building nonetheless.

“With him not being a head coach he’s around us a lot more,” Williams said. “Then just talking to us he’s a relational coach, so he’s a great coach to have in your QB room because he’s seen it done on the highest level. He’s seen it done on our level with many different players that, you see now, they went first pick or they won Heisman. Patrick Mahomes. He’s been with a bunch of different guys like that, Kyler (Murray) when he was in the pros.”

Those relationships with top-level professional players gives Kingsbury a lot of instant credibility now on campus at USC.

When he walks in a room, he gets everyone’s attention. The two parties are just hoping it can be a mutually beneficial relationship.

At the very least, Kingsbury has proven to be a guy the players like.

“Just a good relationship coach,” Williams said of Kliff Kingsbury’s impact so far. “He gives you the real, and we’ll talk and have good conversations whether it’s now or down the line a couple years from now the way things work out. He’s been great. It’s awesome to have him and I can’t wait to get going.”

Kyler Murray Appears To Throw Shade At Former Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury

Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals did not have a good season in 2022-23. And, 2023-24 doesn't figure to be that much better. Despite that, Murray is optimistic about the upcoming season. Perhaps because Kliff Kingsbury is gone.

The team has a new head coach, offensive coordinator and general manager. They fired Kingsbury and former GM Steve Keim stepped down to focus on his health. Kingsbury ran the offense and the team did not have an official coordinator on that side of the ball.

They hired Jonathan Gannon as head coach, Monti Ossenfort as GM and Drew Petzing as offensive coordinator.

Kyler Murray seems pretty happy about the changes.

"I'm thinking of stuff that I wasn't part of, like the draft, who we were gonna get, young players coming out," Murray said, according to the Cardinals' website.

"The whole (last) year was shit. It happened for a reason. The things we were doing weren't sustainable for success ... It was necessary and in turn good will come out of what happened."

He doesn't name Kingsbury, but it's hard not to read into what he's saying.

"The things we were doing weren't sustainable for success." Who else puts in place the "things" that teams do?

And, mentioning not being included in the draft process probably reflects on the team's former GM, too.

He wasn't done there, either.

"I think winning cures all, and it's been tough to do that with some of the circumstances we've had to deal with," Murray said. "But I think we are headed in the right direction."

Again, the biggest change for the team is the hiring of a new head coach. What exactly are those "circumstances"?

With Kliff Kingsbury gone, Kyler Murray needs to play well or the Cardinals could move on next season

Kyler Murray needs the team to head in the "right direction." Although he landed a massive contract, the team has not had much success with him at the helm.

The team has one playoff appearance in his four seasons. And, Murray played very poorly in that one playoff game.

Overall, Murray has a 25-31-1 record as a starting NFL quarterback.

The Cardinals traded for the Houston Texans' first-round pick next season. They also have their own. Both figure to be near -- or at -- the top of the NFL Draft.

Should Murray struggle this season, the Arizona Cardinals might have to consider using one of those picks on a replacement.

Tickets are on sale now for Karen Kingsbury Productions’ debut love story ‘Someone Like You’, opening in theaters nationwide in the U.S. and in Canada starting on April 2, 2024. The movie is based on Karen Kingsbury’s New York Times bestselling novel of the same name.

Kingsbury and her husband, Donald, used their savings to make the movie without the help of investors or studios. “Everyone told us not to use our own money, but we prayed about it and made the leap,” Kingsbury said. “I can only say, heading into a major theatrical release, we have no regrets.”

‘Someone Like You’ is an achingly beautiful redemptive love story that centers on architect Dawson Gage (Jake Allyn) who fell in love with London Quinn (Sarah Fisher) in high school, even though she told him not to. Ten years later, the two are still only best friends when tragedy strikes. Now, the grieving Dawson is compelled to do one final act of love for London. He launches an impossible search for her secret twin, twins separated as embryos.

States away, Andi Allen (Sarah Fisher) has no idea she was adopted as an embryo. The news rocks her world and sends her into a spiral that culminates in her leaving home to meet her biological parents. Now only Dawson can show Andi everything she missed about her twin sister. But Dawson and Andi never imagined the attraction they’d feel for each other. Can Dawson help Andi make her way back home, even though he has fallen desperately in love with her?

‘Someone Like You’ stars Sarah Fisher (Degrassi: The Next Generation, Kiss and Cry), Jake Allyn (No Man’s Land, The Quad), Robyn Lively (Teen Witch, The Karate Kid Part III), Bart Johnson (High School Musical I, II, III), Scott Reeves (Nashville, The Young and the Restless) and Lynn Collins (The Walking Dead, X-Men Origins: Wolverine).

With more than 25 million copies of her award-winning books in print, many of Kingsbury’s novels have been developed as major motion pictures and television shows. However, the formation of Karen Kingsbury Productions allowed the novelist the opportunity to make the movie in her heart.

Shot last year in the inspirational storyteller’s longtime home state of Tennessee, and in Alabama, ‘Someone Like You’ was written by Kingsbury and writing partner, Tyler Russell (A Thousand Tomorrows), who makes his directorial debut with the feature. Kingsbury and Russell also produced the film, alongside Natalie Ruffino Wilson (Best Laid Plans) and Trevor K. Ball (This is 20).

In addition, Amazon Prime announced Kingsbury’s worldwide bestselling series – The Baxters – will release on Prime Video worldwide on March 28, four days before Kingsbury’s theatrical release of ‘Someone Like You’.

Commanders find their coordinators: Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr.

A day after announcing Dan Quinn as their next coach, the Washington Commanders quickly found the top two members of his staff. Former Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury agreed to a three-year contract to be the offensive coordinator and Dallas Cowboys secondary coach and defensive passing game coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. agreed to be the defensive coordinator, multiple people with knowledge of the hires said Sunday night.

Kingsbury, who was a senior offensive assistant at Southern California last season, appeared in line for the Las Vegas Raiders’ offensive coordinator job but reportedly pulled his name from consideration and quickly emerged as a top candidate for Washington. He takes over amid a top-to-bottom rebuild of the team that started last year with Josh Harris’s $6.05 billion purchase of the franchise and continued with the hiring of General Manager Adam Peters in January.

Washington turned to Quinn largely because of his leadership, experience and success on the defensive side, but Kingsbury could have an even greater impact on the team’s trajectory. Washington is coming off a 4-13 season and has not posted a winning record since 2016. It has churned through 14 starting quarterbacks over the past decade and sorely needs an infusion of creativity and player development on offense. Kingsbury has a record of both.

A former Texas Tech quarterback drafted by the New England Patriots in the sixth round in 2003, Kingsbury spent the better part of four seasons in the NFL, primarily as a practice squad player. He played in the Canadian Football League briefly, then turned to coaching, starting as a quality control coach at the University of Houston in 2008.

Kingsbury, 44, was later elevated to co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, then jumped to Texas A&M, where he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach and worked with 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel. In 2013, Kingsbury was hired as his alma mater’s coach and helped develop first-round quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield with the Red Raiders.

After Kingsbury was fired following the 2018 season, the Cardinals grabbed him to be their coach in 2019, the same year they selected quarterback Kyler Murray with the draft’s first pick. The Cardinals went 28-37-1 in four seasons under Kingsbury before firing him in January 2023. He joined USC three months later and worked with 2022 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Caleb Williams, whom the Commanders will eye closely as the draft nears.

Kingsbury has modified his offense over the years to be a pro-style Air Raid. His scheme gives the appearance of a more modern-day spread offense, but it doesn’t discount the running game. In 2020 and 2021, the Cardinals ranked sixth and seventh in rushing attempts, an aspect that was missing in Washington’s offense last season. But how he tailors his scheme to Washington’s personnel remains to be seen, in part because Washington’s personnel figures to be in flux, too.

The Commanders have five picks in the first three rounds of the draft. They also are projected to have the most salary cap space in the NFL, giving them plenty of room to add talent.

Kingsbury will be Washington’s third play caller and coordinator in as many years, following Scott Turner, who ran an Air Coryell system from 2020 to 2022, and Eric Bieniemy, who ran a West Coast offense in 2023. Bieniemy has another year on his contract and seems likely to be let go after Kingsbury’s arrival.

Svrluga: The Commanders got Dan Quinn. Now they need a top offensive mind.

Whitt, 45, follows Quinn for the second time to take over a Commanders defense that struggled in nearly every facet last season. A former walk-on wide receiver at Auburn, Whitt began coaching in 2000 and joined the pro ranks as assistant defensive backs coach for the Atlanta Falcons in 2007. After 11 seasons as a defensive assistant for the Green Bay Packers, with whom he won Super Bowl XLV, and a year with the Cleveland Browns, Whitt returned to Atlanta as the secondary coach and passing game coordinator under Quinn. He kept that title when he joined Quinn with Dallas in 2021.

Whitt and Quinn helped transform a Cowboys defense that ranked 28th in points allowed and 23rd in yards allowed in 2020 into a group that led the league in interceptions and finished seventh in points allowed in 2021. Last season, the Cowboys ranked fifth in total yards, passing yards and points allowed. The Commanders ranked last in all three categories.

Although Quinn pulled the strings for the Cowboys’ defense last year, it’s unclear whether he plans to call the coverages as Washington’s coach; he did so intermittently for Atlanta. More pressing, it seems, was ensuring his coordinator was familiar with his system and that he quickly assembled his staff to begin a full evaluation of the roster and the team’s plans to revamp it.

Peters, who will orchestrate the Commanders’ rebuild, said at his introductory news conference that he views this situation similar to that of the 2017 San Francisco 49ers, who also had the second draft pick (they traded down), a new coach (Kyle Shanahan) and a new GM (John Lynch).

“We’re going to be very process-driven and diligent in who we select in free agency,” Peters said. “But we’re going to build through the draft here. ... It’s having an aligned vision, having collaboration, having inclusion with everybody, everybody pulling in the same direction.”

On Sunday at around 8 p.m., Peters waited at Dulles International Airport to greet Quinn as he stepped off a private jet. Less than an hour later, word got out about Kingsbury’s and Whitt’s agreements.
