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 Forts Randolph & Buhlow State Historic Site 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 Olla, 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 Olla Town 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 Burger Barn or visit Olla Monument, 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 Olla, 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 Olla, 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 Olla, 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.

Después de cinco días de búsqueda, la peor noticia llegó este domingo: los rescatistas hallaron el cuerpo de Franco Toro, el joven argentino de 30 años que había desaparecido en las primeras horas del 1º de enero cuando intentaba auxiliar a una mujer que había sido arrastrada por la corriente del mar hacia un sector de piedras en Punta del Este.
Los restos del tatuador y artista plástico, que había viajado a Uruguay para trabajar en el rubro gastronómico durante la temporada de verano, fue encontrado en la zona conocida como "La Olla" de la playa El Emir de la localidad balnearia.
El guardavidas Diego González, quien encontró el cuerpo, reveló: "Pensé que era un lobo, porque tenía la piel lastimada, pero cuando me acerqué vi que era una persona, que era Franco". Asimismo, agregó que había hablado con la mamá del chico y que le prometió "que lo iba a sacar" ya que "tenía un pálpito, intuía que lo iba a encontrar".
El operativo para hallar al joven se había retomado recientemente, después de un parate y varios días de búsqueda por parte de efectivos de la Prefectura, buzos y el cuerpo de guardavidas de Maldonado. La pesquisa no era sencilla por las condiciones de la zona y la meteorología que no acompañó en los primeros días. Finalmente fue divisado a 1.500 metros de la costa.

El incidente que finalmente se cobró la vida de Toro tuvo lugar el pasado miércoles a la mañana, cuando la corriente sorprendió a la mujer y otros dos hombres que entraron al agua para ayudarla y también quedaron atrapados, con dificultades para salir en una zona rocosa.
En aquel primer día del 2025, la Prefectura de Punta del Este recibió el aviso de emergencia a las 7:15 y desplegó a rescatistas por tierra y mar. Lograron sacar sana y salva a la mujer y a uno de los hombres, mientras que el tercero pudo salir por sus propios medios. Sin embargo, Franco no había sido localizado ya en ese momento.
El argentino, nacido en Bahía Blanca, se desempeñaba como tatuador y artista plástico y era un amante de los animales, según muestran sus redes sociales. Tenía varios perfiles en Instagram: uno que usaba de manera personal, otro para promocionar su trabajo como tatuador, y un tercero destinado a compartir sus obras en acuarela, óleo, watercolor, lápiz y esculturas.
Lo último que se supo de él es que había viajado con un grupo de amigos hacia Punta del Este, donde fue contratado por un local de comida. En la noche de Año Nuevo salió de una fiesta y en la madrugada entró al mar para ayudar a salir a otros. Toro no volvió a ser visto hasta este domingo 5 de enero una vez que se adentró en el agua.
Tras días de intensa búsqueda, un grupo de guardavidas uruguayos encontró el cuerpo de Franco Toro, el argentino de 30 años que había desaparecido el pasado 1° de enero cuando se lanzó al agua...
Tras días de intensa búsqueda, un grupo de guardavidas uruguayos encontró el cuerpo de Franco Toro, el argentino de 30 años que había desaparecido el pasado 1° de enero cuando se lanzó al agua para rescatar a dos amigas que no lograban salir por sus propios medios. El hallazgo tuvo lugar en Playa La Olla, en la zona de La Brava, Punta del Este.
El joven, oriundo de Bahía Blanca, fue avistado flotando a aproximadamente 1.500 metros de la costa por un grupo de guardavidas, quienes confirmaron la identidad del cuerpo. La noticia fue corroborada por Pablo Techera, jefe del servicio de guardavidas.
La Prefectura Naval de Uruguay había reanudado las operaciones de búsqueda por mar este domingo, tras la mejora de las condiciones climáticas. Durante los días anteriores, las ráfagas de viento y el fuerte oleaje habían dificultado el despliegue de lanchas, motos de agua y el trabajo de los buzos. Con el cese del mal tiempo, el operativo pudo retomarse, incluyendo rastrillajes en zonas clave con el apoyo de embarcaciones y buzos.
El domingo, la Armada Nacional de Uruguay amplió el área de búsqueda hasta el balneario de José Ignacio, ubicado a unos 45 kilómetros de Punta del Este, en un intento por abarcar un mayor radio.
Franco Toro, tatuador de profesión, había desaparecido en el mar mientras intentaba ayudar a sus amigas el primer día del año. Desde el viernes, más de 48 horas después del incidente, las autoridades de la Prefectura de Punta del Este habían declarado que "oficialmente se buscaba a un desaparecido con casi nulas posibilidades de vida".
Finalmente, tras días de incertidumbre, su cuerpo fue localizado, poniendo fin a una búsqueda que mantuvo en vilo tanto a su familia como a la comunidad.
Alejandro Pérez, jefe del Departamento de Relaciones Públicas de la Armada uruguaya, había anticipado la gravedad de la situación durante los días de búsqueda. "El paso del tiempo, las condiciones del operativo y las estadísticas no permiten pensar que el ciudadano argentino pueda estar con vida. Sería un milagro realmente", expresó.
En la misma línea, el prefecto Sebastián Sorribas, encargado del operativo, fue contundente al señalar que se estaba "buscando un cuerpo. Aquí no hay expectativas, pero la búsqueda continúa de todas maneras".
El trágico incidente ocurrió el pasado 1° de enero, cuando Franco Toro, de 30 años, desapareció en las aguas oceánicas de Punta del Este al intentar rescatar a dos mujeres que habían pedido ayuda. Según informaron las autoridades, el hecho sucedió alrededor de las 7:15 de la mañana, hora local, en una zona rocosa entre las playas El Emir y Los Dedos.
La Prefectura Naval recibió un aviso sobre tres personas con dificultades para salir del agua. De inmediato, el destacamento local movilizó un bote y vehículos terrestres al lugar. Allí se confirmó que dos mujeres, al ingresar al agua y perder pie, fueron asistidas por dos hombres que las acompañaban.
Una de las mujeres logró salir del agua por sus propios medios, mientras que la otra y uno de los hombres tuvieron que ser rescatados por el personal de la Prefectura. Un tercer hombre que también había ingresado al agua consiguió salir sin ayuda. Sin embargo, Franco Toro no corrió con la misma suerte y permaneció desaparecido hasta que finalmente fue encontrado sin vida tras varios días de búsqueda.
Este desenlace cierra un operativo que movilizó a las autoridades y generó conmoción tanto en Uruguay como en Argentina.
No había milagro posible, y este domingo efectivos de la Prefectura uruguaya encontraron finalmente el cuerpo de Franco Toro, en una zona conocida como "La Olla" en la playa uruguaya El Emir en Punta del Este. Como se sabe, el joven argentino, de 30 a&ntil...
No había milagro posible, y este domingo efectivos de la Prefectura uruguaya encontraron finalmente el cuerpo de Franco Toro, en una zona conocida como "La Olla" en la playa uruguaya El Emir en Punta del Este. Como se sabe, el joven argentino, de 30 años, perdió la vida cuando intentaba ayudar a una mujer que se había metido al mar en un peligroso sector de piedras de Punta del Este y fue arrastrada por la corriente.
El destino fue cruel, no con la mujer, que pudo ser rescatada, sino con Franco, que no pudo salir del agua y terminó desaparecido, hasta que este domingo su cuerpo finalmente fue hallado en El Emir. Había ido al balneario uruguayo a trabajar en la temporada.
La agencia Noticias Argentinas detalló que el incidente ocurrió cuando la corriente arrastró a una mujer y dos hombres ingresaron a ayudarla, sin embargo, también quedaron atrapados, al igual que un tercero que intentó intervenir y sufrió el mismo destino.

Hoy más que nunca Suscribite
Alrededor de las 7:15 de aquel día, Prefectura de Punta del Este recibió el aviso de emergencia y desplegó un operativo con un bote semirrígido y unidades terrestres. Poco después, los efectivos rescataron a la mujer y a uno de los hombre, mientras que el tercer involucrado salió por sus propios medios y Toro no pudo ser localizado.
El joven, quien trabajaba en un comercio gastronómico local durante la temporada de verano, fue buscado intensamente durante cinco días por tierra y mar, empleando equipos especializados en colaboración con autoridades locales.
No obstante, no fue hasta este domingo que las autoridades involucradas encontraron el cuerpo de joven de 30 años.
Por su parte, quienes fueron rescatados en un primero momento fueron trasladados al Hospital Maldonado, donde permanecieron bajo observación y se constató que se encontraban en buen estado de salud.
Franco era oriundo de Bahía Blanca, donde se dedicaba al arte del tatuaje. Su expresión artística iba más allá, explorando también disciplinas como la pintura y la escultura.
El joven administraba varias cuentas de Instagram: una personal, otra para su trabajo como tatuador y una tercera para sus obras plásticas, que incluían acuarelas, óleos y dibujos en lápiz. En su perfil principal compartía imágenes de su gata “Tita” y otros animales exóticos, como serpientes, lagartos y ratas, demostrando su pasión por la fauna.

Armados con ollas llenas de comida casera, se dispusieron a disfrutar de un día de entretenimiento al aire libre, demostrando que la tradición gastronómica no tiene fronteras.
El curioso hecho fue registrado en un video que rápidamente se viralizó en redes sociales, generando diversas reacciones entre los usuarios.

El video de TikTok muestra a un grupo de peruanos rodeando ollas y recipientes con comida. En pleno entorno nevado, mientras los esquiadores pasan a lo lejos, la familia organiza su propio festín con platos típicos como arroz, papas y otros aperitivos. Algunos se encargan de servir los alimentos, mientras otros disfrutan de la calidez de la comida y la compañía.
En medio de risas y anécdotas, el video destaca la familiaridad y el espíritu de comunidad que caracteriza a los peruanos. "Cómo reconocer a un peruano en Europa" se lee en la descripción del video, un guiño humorístico que acompañó la publicación.

La escena también muestra cómo esta familia convierte un entorno helado y extranjero en un rincón cálido de hogar. Entre bromas y miradas cómplices, comparten no solo alimentos, sino también un sentido de identidad que trasciende la distancia. La nieve que otros aprovechan para esquiar se convierte para ellos en un escenario de unión y tradición, un recordatorio de que la cultura peruana siempre encuentra un lugar para florecer, incluso en las circunstancias más inesperadas.
El video desató un intenso debate en redes sociales. Por un lado, muchos usuarios defendieron la acción de la familia, calificándola como una muestra de identidad cultural y de amor por las tradiciones.

Comentarios como "Mi familia es igualita, y no me da vergüenza decirlo" y "Los extranjeros llevan comida a sus picnics, ¿por qué nosotros no podemos hacerlo?" fueron recurrentes. Algunos incluso vieron en el gesto una reivindicación de las costumbres peruanas en un entorno ajeno.
Sin embargo, no faltaron críticas hacia la familia. Algunos usuarios consideraron inapropiado llevar ollas de comida a un lugar público en Europa, argumentando que "deberían respetar la cultura en cada país" o cuestionando la necesidad de hacerlo cuando existen opciones de restaurantes locales.
Otros, en cambio, destacaron que la clave está en mantener limpio el espacio y en no afectar el entorno. "Mientras todo se deje limpio, no hay de qué avergonzarse", comentó un usuario europeo que también defendió el derecho a disfrutar de un picnic, independientemente del lugar o la nacionalidad. "Yo soy europeo y también voy con mi táper a cualquier lado, no sé por qué tanta crítica", expresó otro usuario.
Así, la escena no solo dejó anécdotas, sino también un interesante debate sobre identidad, integración y respeto cultural en un mundo globalizado.
