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 Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park 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 Atlanta, LA 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 Grant 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 Aria or visit Swan House at Atlanta History Center, 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 Atlanta, LA, 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 Atlanta, LA 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 Atlanta, LA 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.
Braves right-hander Bryce Elder made his 13th start of the season on Thursday night at Truist Park in the rubber game of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels.

Braves right-hander Bryce Elder made his 13th start of the season on Thursday night at Truist Park in the rubber game of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels. The Braves lost 5-0, and Elder was saddled with his sixth loss of the season (2-6 overall).
“I put the guys in a hole, and that’s on me,” Bryce Elder said after the game.
The Braves defeated the Angels 8-3 on Wednesday night. The hitting was the story that night as home runs from Matt Olson (grand slam), Sean Murphy (three-run), and first-year Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar (solo) led the way for the home team.
“We played a pretty good ball game yesterday, and everything was good. We can do that,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said following Thursday’s loss.
On Thursday, the Braves began the game much like they did a night earlier: in a hole. The Angels scored a run in the first inning on a RBI single from centerfielder Joe Adell, and two on a home run from Nolan Schanuel in the second. The Angels added another run in the fourth when shortstop Zach Neto hit his 13th home run of the season.
Atlanta only managed two hits through five innings. Los Angeles starting pitcher Jose Soriano may have come into the game with a 5-5 overall record and a 3.99 ERA, but he looked like a combination of former Braves stars Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, and Tom Glavine on this day.
Mike Trout’s RBI triple in the sixth inning added another run to the Angels’ tally and made the score 5-0. That run was charged to Braves reliever Enyel De Los Santos, who challenged Trout, a surefire Hall of Famer, with a fastball and lost.
The Braves mounted a small comeback, scoring their first run of the game on a solo home run from Profar in the ninth inning. Marcel Ozuna and Ozzie Albies both flew out to left field, and Murphy struck out to end the game.
What’s Next: The Baltimore Orioles are coming into town to celebrate the Independence Day weekend. The three-game series begins on Friday night, with Saturday’s game scheduled for a 4:10 p.m. first pitch, and a 11:35 a.m. first pitch on Sunday.

Former Atlanta Falcons linebacker Nate Landman got married late last month, and he shared his wedding photos via Instagram, capturing a very beautiful and pristine moment between the newlyweds.
Landman was an undrafted free agent who was originally born in Zimbabwe and signed with Atlanta in 2022. He saw spot duty on special teams as a rookie, but started 14 of Atlanta's 17 games in 2023 after Troy Anderson was put on injured reserve after a pectoral injury in week 3 against the Detroit Lions.
In 2023, Landman registered 110 tackles (66 solo, 44 assisted), two sacks and three forced fumbles. He was one of just three Falcons to register an interception during the 2023-2024 season, alongside Richie Grant (1) and Jessie Bates (6).
There was a time in 2023 when Landman was second in the NFC for Pro Bowl votes among linebackers. He unfortunately did not make the Pro Bowl that season. However, he did end up top 10 in voting for his position, a very impressive feat for an undrafted free agent.
Unfortunately, in 2024, Landman’s stats, like most players on the defense, took a step back. Landman played 13 of 17 games last season and recorded 81 tackles (39 solo, 42 assisted), zero sacks, zero interceptions and three forced fumbles.
This past offseason Atlanta did not re-sign Landman. He instead signed a one-year $1,100,000 contract with a $75,000 signing bonus with the Los Angeles Rams.
Landman is a fun story, an undrafted free agent who was born in another country. He gave the Falcons all he could in 2023, and no one can doubt his motor on the field. Off the field, he is now starting a new life with his wife.

The Los Angeles Sparks and Atlanta Dream have had a contrasting start from each other so far. On one hand, the Dream currently sit second in the Eastern Conference, showcasing early dominance. Meanwhile, the Sparks are second-last in the West, dealing with inconsistency.
Sparks have had a rough start primarily because of the piling of the injuries. Persistent injuries have forced the coach into constant strategic reshuffles. This gave little time for the side to perform accordingly.
They hold a rough record of 2-3 and will look to improvise. Still, their injury-hit performances have shown glimpses of promise. With a fit squad which isn’t far away, the Sparks can do better.
Atlanta Dream have had a dominating win against the Connecticut Sun. Despite having to play back-to-back games on Saturday and Sunday, the Dream showed an intensive performance. They won the WNBA game by 79-55.
It was a coordinated effort from the Atlanta Dream players that brought the huge victory. No Dream player crossed the 20 in Sunday’s win. Allisha Gray scored a game high 18 points. While Nia Coffey also hit 18 with 11 rebounds on the stat sheet.

When the Atlanta Falcons made their move to acquire James Pearce Jr, they called their old scout, Les Snead, and the Los Angeles Rams, making a move for the Rams' 26th overall pick.
During the trade, the Falcons sent a 2026 first-round pick to Los Angeles, and now, according to Pro Football Network's Brentley Weissman, the Rams should use that pick to select South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers.
"Matthew Stafford has been rumored to be considering retirement for the last few offseasons, and while he is back with the Rams for the 2025 season, it is very likely that he only has a few years left," wrote Weissman. "Adding a young quarterback through the draft feels like a must for the Rams."
"LaNorris Sellers is an incredibly fun prospect who is oozing with potential. He is thick, athletic and has a rocket arm. He is able to make plays both within and out of structure and would be a great ball of clay for Sean McVay to try and mold."
Try and mold is a term I wouldn't use. Fine-tune is the term I would. Sellers has incredible athleticism, with a rocket arm and solid downfield vision. He's also going to have another year of collegiate development, and if Stafford plays in 2026, that's two years of development before being thrown into critical situations.
Sellers is the modern embodiment of Steve McNair. Sellers has the build, the frame, the footwork, the film and the numbers to emulate the late, great legend who should be in the NFL Hall of Fame but that's a discussion for another time.
ESPN's Jordan Reid wrote a full workup on Sellers.
"Where he excels: Sellers is a toolsy, explosive dual-threat passer who completed 65.6% of his passes for 2,534 yards and 18 touchdowns," wrote Reid.
"On the ground, he rushed for 674 yards and seven touchdowns last season. He can easily throw to every level of the field and his compact, strong frame makes him a game changer on designed QB runs. Sellers' unique strength and vision in the pocket allows him to make plays in unfavorable situations. Many of his top highlights last season were the result of him avoiding and shaking off tacklers. His raw ability, tools, youth (he's 20 years old) and projected ascension are selling points teams are willing to bet on early in the draft."
"Where he needs work: The offense Sellers ran last season was a simplistic mixture of mesh concepts, pre-snap reads and an occasional go route. He threw 27.4% of his passes at or behind the line of scrimmage, which ranked 92nd in the FBS. Along with increasing his understanding and advancement of concepts, Sellers needs to take better care of the ball. He had 11 fumbles (six lost) last season. He also needs to make decisions quicker -- his 3.06-second average time to throw was the 11th-slowest in the country."

De La Cruz, a literal and figurative cover-boy for MLB, will join the National League All-Stars for the second straight year, officials announced Sunday, July 6.
Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona informed his team of the selection prior to the game. During his postgame meeting with Cincinnati-based reporters, Francona suggested there might still be a chance starting pitcher Andrew Abbott could end up in Atlanta, too.
"I wanted it to be upbeat because it's very much an honor for Elly," Francona said. "Also wanted some of the guys to know we care, like Friedl and Abbott. I know (for us), Abbott's pitching Wednesday (July 9), so he would be available. I don't know where it falls on the pecking order but I do know if it gets to him, he would be able to pitch and I know he would like to, so that's my hope.
"Everything he (De La Cruz) kind of told me this winter, and when I say that, he's not a big talker. But I mean he told me what he wanted to be and how he wanted to get there. He's doing that. He's growing up. I think one of the things he has to battle is everyone's always talking about his ceiling, and I just kind of wanted to impress upon him that if we see it in the confines of the game, it's really gonna be special. That's kind of all I've ever told him, and he's doing a really good job."
De La Cruz entered Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies hitting .279 with 18 home runs, 60 RBI and 96 hits with 22 stolen bases. In the final 10-game stretch leading into Sunday's All-Star Game announcement, De La Cruz hit .333 with 14 hits.
In being named to the 2025 All-Star Game in Atlanta (July 15, 8 p.m.), De La Cruz joins a long list of Reds to make multiple All-Star Game appearances. It's a list that started with Ernie Lombardi, who became a repeat Reds All-Star when he made his second Midsummer Classic appearance in 1937.
Most of Cincinnati's "Great Eight" contingent from the Big Red Machine era made multiple All-Star Games.
That list continued in the modern era with Reds greats including Barry Larkin, Ken Griffey Jr., Scott Rolen, Brandon Phillips, Joey Votto, Jay Bruce, Aroldis Chapman and Todd Frazier.
"I know it means a lot," De La Cruz said. "I think everybody in this game wants to go to the All-Star Game, so it's exciting."
Asked if he was surprised Abbott hadn't been named to the All-Star Game, De La Cruz noted: "We don't know that yet. He'll probably make it."
De La Cruz also reaffirmed his earlier decision of not participating in the Home Run Derby.
