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 Tribune Tower 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 Chicago, IL is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“Ali Asmi provided us with clear expectations and went above and beyond them to ensure my Dad's comfort. He cares about his clients and the safety of his employees.”
“They were an absolute lifesaver! I needed ongoing care for my dad at the last minute as he was released from rehab. They were extremely knowledgeable, and quick to respond to our needs. Ali spoke to my dad and took a genuine interest in what he wanted and made him feel at ease throughout the process. Very satisfied and highly recommend. The balance tracking system was a real fun activity for my dad.”
“We are very pleased with our care; our overall experience has been fantastic”
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 Alinea or visit CharnleyPersky House 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.
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 Chicago, IL, 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 Chicago, IL 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 Chicago, IL 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.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Most of the Chicago area remains under an Air Quality Alert on Saturday due to smoke from Canadian wildfires.
The alert was, at one point, set to expire late Friday night for most of the area, but it was extended through Sunday. The National Weather Service said the alert issued by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is set to expire at midnight Monday.
AccuWeather Meteorologist Jaisol Martinez said haze from the smoke would still be visible on Saturday, but the air quality index in Chicago is slowly improving.
Conditions remained unhealthy for sensitive groups on Saturday, an improvement from being unhealthy for everyone, Martinez said.
Meanwhile, Lollapalooza is being held this weekend, drawing thousands of people outdoors. The air conditions have not appeared to keep the large crowds from flocking to the annual music festival in Grant Park.
"Today I am excited for Clairo...and Sabrina Carpenter tomorrow," Lolla attendee Jillian Burgess said.
Day three of Lollapalooza got underway Saturday. Chicago's own Chance the Rapper was a last-minute surprise addition to the day's music lineup.
The four-day music festival is taking place downtown as Chicago remains under an Air Quality Alert.
On Saturday, the skyline looked a little clearer than the last few days.
"I walk to work, so I noticed in the last couple of days," Lolla attendee Shi Ramirez said. "It was bad... but I feel like today is better than the last two days so we'll... We'll be fine."
"We took precautions, we just made sure to stay hydrated," Lolla attendee Analleli Garcia said. "If we felt dizzy or anything like that, we just took a second and rest."
The poor air quality did not stop thousands from heading to Lolla and enjoying the music and good vibes.
"It's just the energy, Chicago is a great city in general, being able to be with your friends and with my girlfriend," Lolla attendee Matt Meyers said. "It's a great experience every time you go."
Rufus Du Sol and K-Pop group 'Twice' are headlining Saturday night. Lollapalooza wraps up Sunday, with Sabrina Carpenter and A$AP Rocky headlining.
Medical experts said the unhealthy air conditions are of most concern for active children and adults who have a respiratory condition. Those who experience a respiratory issue should go inside and seek medical attention if necessary.
Doctors said an N95 mask can help people outside, and people at home should make sure filters are fresh so that air conditioning is working at its best.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Air Quality Alerts remain in effect for the Chicago area Friday due to smoke from Canadian wildfires.
ABC7 Accuweather Meteorologist Jaisol Martinez says the smoke in the lower levels of the atmosphere will not be as dense Friday as on Thursday, but will likely remain at unhealthy and unhealthy for sensitive groups levels through the day.
The Environmental Protection Agency issued an Air Quality Alert for most of the Chicago area and Northwest Indiana through Friday.
People are being encouraged to limit their time outside. But the conditions appeared not to keep large crowds from flocking to Lollapalooza's opening day. Others who enjoyed the lakefront noticed the haze that covered much of the city's skyline.
The biggest concerns come with active children or adults who have any sort of respiratory diseases like asthma.
Of course there are many summer time activities that have people outside. Dr. Brady Scott, a program director from Rush University, says listening to your body is the best thing you can do.
"In a situation where maybe you're short, feeling shortness of breath or something you've never felt before, you know the question is, what do you do?" Dr. Scott said. "So you can you go inside, perhaps, where it's cooler, where the air is cleaner, and try to calm down and relax and try to reduce strenuous activity, if that's what caused the issue. If you're really concerned, I mean, my advice is, if you're really concerned, and you know your body, then you might want to seek medical attention."
The air quality levels didn't stop people from heading to the city's lakefront.
"It has been hazier, you can definitely feel it a little bit, but more so yesterday," runner Ryan Ward said.
Caitlin Chenus decided to go for a run Friday even though she has asthma.
"I actually have asthma, so i feel it today and i felt it yesterday walking around, so," Chenus said.
Doctors say an N95 mask can help people outside, and people at home should make sure filters are fresh so that air conditioning is working at its best.
Children and adults with pulmonary or respiratory diseases, such as asthma, are asked to limit their time outside as a precaution.
Back-to-school shopping is near, and while Illinois has previously held a sales tax holiday to help parents purchasing supplies, will that happen again this year?Many states offer residents a limited-time opportunity to purchase back-to-school items without having to pay their state sales tax on the items. According to the ...
Back-to-school shopping is near, and while Illinois has previously held a sales tax holiday to help parents purchasing supplies, will that happen again this year?
Many states offer residents a limited-time opportunity to purchase back-to-school items without having to pay their state sales tax on the items. According to the Federation of Tax Administrators, more than a dozen states across the U.S. will offer some tax relief for students.
The so-called sales tax holidays offer a designated window, often in the month of August, during which residents can purchase specific items at a reduced rate, often times related to school supplies.
But while some states eliminate the sales tax entirely, others reduce it or offer it for only specific items. And some offer no holiday at all.
For those that do offer the holiday, many will be held this weekend, with dates of Aug. 1-3.
Illinois previously offered a holiday, reducing its state sales tax on back-to-school items from 6.25% to 1.25% as recently as 2022.
But will they do it again in 2025?
The state has not had a sales tax holiday for back-to-school since the 2022 school year, and will not have one in 2025.
There was an effort made to establish a back-to-school tax holiday this year, as State Sen. Christopher Belt introduced Senate Bill 1673 during the spring legislative session.
According to the General Assembly’s website, the measure was referred to the revenue committee, but never advanced. It was referred back to the assignments committee at the end of the legislative session.
According to the FTA, Illinois’ neighbors generally don’t have sales tax holidays either. Indiana does not have one scheduled, nor does Wisconsin, according to the website.
Iowa has a sales tax holiday on back-to-school clothing and footwear in early August, while Missouri offers a back-to-school sales tax holiday during the lead-up to school beginning.
According to the FTA, Arkansas, Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia offer holidays for back-to-school time.
Some states also offer sales tax discounts for soldiers and National Guard troops, while Texas offers holidays for summer preparations like generators, water efficiency products and more.

Starbucks says it will "sunset" its pick-up only concept stores across the country as the company moves to evaluate its portfolio of coffeehouses across the U.S.
Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol announced the change during an earnings call Tuesday, as part of the company's "evaluation" of Starbucks' North American portfolio, to ensure it has "the right coffeehouses in the right locations to drive profitability and deliver the Starbucks experience."
As part of the evaluation, Niccol said, Starbucks will "sunset" some of its pick-up only concept stores that launched in 2019. According to the company, there are currently between 80 and 90 of these types of stores across the U.S.
"We found this format to be overly transactional and lacking the warmth and human connection that defines our brand," Niccol said. "We have a strong digital offering and believe we can deliver the same level of convenience through our community coffeehouses with a superior mobile order and pay experience."
Starbucks launched the pick-up store concept in 2019 as stores "exclusively designed for mobile orders and quick pick up without the wait." There are nearly 100 pick-up only locations across the U.S., including inside some airports, according to the company website.
According to the company, not all pick-up locations will close. Some would be converted to traditional coffees houses with seating, Starbucks said.
The move comes as Starbucks undergoes a number of changes as part of a "Back to Starbucks" plan that better prioritizes customers service and what the company calls as "the coffeehouse experience."
"Customer connection scores are up and customer complaints are down, both quarter-over-quarter andyear-over-year," Niccols said.
Niccols also said Starbucks was investing approximately $150,000 per store for quick renovations it described as "uplifts."
"Uplifts are intended to quickly replace thousands of seats we removed and introduce greater texture, warmth and layered design," Niccols said. The process is underway at stores in New York, with uplifts also planned in Southern California. The company also has a new "standalone protoype" store set to open in New York.
According to the company website, the following Starbucks stores are pick-up only. It wasn't immediately clear if any of the Illinois locations were slated for closure, or would be converted.

Two Chicago hospitals made U.S News & World Report's national list of 20 "Best Hospitals" for 2025-26, with a slew of other Chicago and suburban hospitals rounding out the list of best hospitals in the state.
Northwestern Medicine - Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Streeterville, and Rush University Medical Center on the Near West Side both made the annual report's latest "Honor Roll," which ranks the top 20 hospitals in the nation. According to editors, nearly 4,400 hospitals across the country were considered.
Hospitals were awarded honor roll status if they ranked in one or more of the 15 specialties that U.S. News evaluates, the report said, including cancer, heart surgery, neurosurgery, orthopedic, gastroenterology and more. From there, hospitals earned points based on patient outcomes, patient experience, staffing, expert opinions and more.

A press release from Rush said the hospital's Neurology and Neurosurgery program was ranked No. 5 in the country, as part of the report and that Rush's Neurology and Neurosurgery; Orthopedics and Ear, Nose and Throat were all ranked top in Illinois.
“Our continued success on the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rating — and other external rankings and ratings — speaks volumes about the dedication and clinical excellence exhibited by our entire team,” Dr. Omar Lateef, president and CEO of Rush University System for Health and Rush University Medical Center said in the release.
Northwestern Memorial and Rush also tied for the No. 1 hospital in Illinois. The University of Chicago Medical Center landed at No. 3 on the best hospitals in Illinois, followed by Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and No. 4, and Endeavor Health Evanston Hospital at No. 5.
Chicago's Shirley Ryan AbilityLab also earned honors in the report, ranking as the No. 1 hospital for rehabilitation in the country.
