Home Care In Lena, LA
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 Old Governor's Mansion 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 Lena, LA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.
Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.
Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.
The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

“Always Best Care is a commendable agency specializing in placing reliable caregivers in the homes”
Always Best Care is a commendable agency specializing in placing reliable caregivers in the homes of elderly patients. Recently, I engaged their services to find a caregiver for my grandmother, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome.
Cyndi Williams from Always Best Care was instrumental throughout the process. Her dependability and understanding made the entire experience smooth and reassuring. From our initial consultation to the caregiver placement, Cyndi and the staff at Always best Care ensured that my grandmother's needs were prioritized, which greatly eased what could have been a challenging transition.
Thanks to Always Best Care, my grandmother is not only well cared for but also genuinely happy with her caregiver. This has brought immense relief and peace of mind to our family, knowing that she is in capable hands.
Overall, I highly recommend Always Best Care for their professionalism, compassion, and commitment to providing excellent elderly care services. They have truly made a positive difference in our lives during a time of significant adjustment.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Lena, LA?
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:
Personal 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 Coal Bluff Park Campground with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
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 Maydro's Seafood Kitchen or visit Melrose Plantation, 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:
Age in Place
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.
Peace of Mind
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.
Socialization
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.
Personalized Care Plan
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.
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 Lena, 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.
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 LA'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.
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 Lena, 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.
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.
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
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:
Lena Living Center
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.
Taking the First Step with Always Best Care
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
01
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
02
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
03
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 Lena, 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.

There are classic leading ladies who are feisty and unstoppable – exactly the image of a woman we need to keep us motivated today. One that recently gave us a headstrong mindset is Lena played by Kapamilya prime actress Erich Gonzales. And as the limitless woman sashays in her final “rampa,” let us look back on the many times she slayed with her killer dialogues via this Kapamilya Toplist from revenge-drama series La Vida Lena.
We go back to her roots as Magda, the barrio girl mocked for the big scar on her face. Despite the physical imperfection, Magda was just as phenomenal, smart, and fearless. She’s the only girl on campus to beat the socialite Rachel (Sofia Andres) in their class standing, and the only one to fight the bullies.
While everyone tailed Rachel like worshipping minions at the school cafeteria, Magda didn’t care even if the Queen Bee walked up to her, asked her to leave the table, and did all sorts of bullying. She was even asked to buy her orange juice. Lena refused to take orders from her rival. Looking so cool, she simply told her, “May paa ka naman. May kamay ka rin, bakit hindi na lang ikaw bumili ng sarili mong inumin? Kung pinag-iinitan mo ako dahil mas mataas ang grades ko sa’yo sa last quarter, mag-aral ka na lang nang mabuti baka makatulong pa.” When Rachel vowed to be the class valedictorian because she can get anything she wants, Magda casually replied, “Eh, ‘di ikaw na magaling.”
Magda knew Rachel’s family used money and influence to steal the valedictory award from her. When told she’s just bitter and a freak, Magda clapped back at Rachel, “Di baleng pangit ang mukha, huwag lang pangit ang ugali.” She isn’t the type to easily raise the white flag, hence, her little act of revenge by using science to explode ketchup on Rachel’s dress.
A myriad of obstacles brought Magda to her new destination, this time, as Lena. Plotting revenge and getting justice for Lolo Dado (Soliman Cruz)’s death called for heated reunions with her enemies but she’s game for anything. The first one she bumped into was Miguel (Kit Thompson), the man who got her pregnant and stole her magic soap formula. When looked down with disrespect and underestimated for her weakness, Lena’s response came with double slaps, each strike burning with anger.
The reunion at the Narciso mansion was immensely satisfying as Lena stood there, playing it cool while watching her enemies shaken up by her presence and revelations. In that scene, she came as the girlfriend of Adrian (JC De Vera), who she easily won just by a little flirting and manipulation. Her presence alone was already too much to handle, more so the discussion about her past relationship and child with Miguel, which totally annoyed Rachel. Lena smiled in satisfaction as the couple fought in front of everybody.
Trying to pacify Rachel, Vanessa (Agot Isidro) announced that the baby was just an accident and that it was Lena who seduced Miguel that night. Laced with sarcasm, Lena explained that she was taken advantage of. And when told she’s a flirt and just making up stories, Lena had a scorching response to Vanessa, “Paano mo alam? From experience? Naging tanga ka na rin ba noong kabataan mo, Madam Vanessa?”
Our heroine is the karma Vanessa deserves. Equipped with power by that time, Lena gave Vanessa her own dose of medicine. She’d kill her with brutal dialogues like “Kahit paliguan mo pa ng pabango ‘yang sarili mo, umaalingasaw pa rin ‘yung kabulukan mo” when Vanessa was already losing power due to a paralyzing secret. Scared that Lena would reveal the truth about Adrian’s identity, Vanessa was forced to exalt her mortal enemy. “Magmakaawa sa akin. Lumuhod ka sa harapan ko,” Lena ordered her at one point.
Lena was blazing even in her confrontations with Lukas (Raymond Bagatsing), who turned up with a gallon of insults and a tempting offer to save Royal Wellness from M&R, the company she built with Ramona (Janice De Belen). Her response to being called ‘insekto’: “Ako insekto? Kaya pala nandito ka para suhulan ako.”
But she’s even more dangerous in the female warzone against Rachel. A big chunk of her vengeful scheme was dedicated to destroying Rachel and Miguel’s marriage, which she easily pulled off using her beauty as bait. . There was a scene where Adrian arrived seething with anger, saying he’s been thinking of ways to kill Lena. Then Rachel tried to help Adrian by spitting out mockery on Lena’s old scar.
It didn’t stop Lena from carrying out her plans. Keeping her enemies close, she moved into the same building where Rachel and Miguel live. “Hi, neighbor,” she said when Rachel showed up at the pool area. While her nemesis spitted venom, Lena chose to keep calm, like she always does, to annoy Rachel even more. And when told to leave, she declared, “I’m here to stay.”
The cunning woman knows when and where to attack. In a scene, she went to Miguel’s room to seduce him, leading to a casual lovemaking, which Rachel caught. Lena gladly watched a portion of the couple’s fight before she nonchalantly walked out.
The battle for power and revenge got more intense when Lena discovered her true relation to Lukas. Now as the real and only Narciso heiress, Lena would sprinkle wit and deadly charm all over Lukas’ territories. In an episode, she giddily talked about money and inheritance. When told “I am still alive, iniisip mo na kung anong makukuha mo pag namatay ako,” Lena laughed and replied, “Advanced ako mag-isip, Dad.”
Shortly after that conversation, Lena faced Vanessa, who came home to get her belongings. Owning the place, she asked the helper to bring out Vanessa’s luggage then sent her out in the wittiest way. “Guard! Basura oh! Itapon niyo nga ‘to,” she said, pointing at Vanessa.
Lena started to infiltrate Royal Wellness and the first agenda was to remove Queen Vanessa soap from their line of products, resulting in a heated argument. When Vanessa denied her obvious involvement in Lolo Dado’s death, Lena retorted, “You think you’re above the law? Gumising ka, Vanessa dahil hindi natutulog ang batas at hinahabol ka na nito.”

Lena finally discovered Adrian’s (JC De Vera) involvement with the supposed death of Lukas, who had faked his own death and left her a debt-ridden business. As it turns out, Lukas is still alive and has been conniving with Adrian to escape the country and preserve his riches.
Before this, Lena decided to help Royal Wellness recover from debt after her best friend Jordan (Carlo Aquino) almost sacrificed his life for the company.
She is also staying one step ahead of Miguel (Kit Thompson) by convincing him to rush their wedding when she obviously has other plans in mind.
Vanessa (Agot Isidro), meanwhile, was finally put in her place after her plan to throw acid in Lena’s face backfired on her and, instead, got her beautiful face destroyed.
How will Lena take down Miguel, Adrian, and Lukas? Will Lena finally get the justice she deserves?
