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 Jack Kerouac House 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 Orlando, FL is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.
Home Care Services
Service AreasSince 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.
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 Universal Studios Florida 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 Ocean Prime or visit Titanic The Artifact Exhibition, 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 Orlando, FL, 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 Orlando, FL 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 Orlando, FL 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.

This acquisition represents the ninth investment in Knightvest's Fund II
As part of the renovation efforts, Knightvest has renamed the community to The Walton
DALLAS, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Knightvest Capital, a vertically integrated multifamily investment firm, today announced the acquisition of the Cortland Vera Sanford community in Orlando, Florida. This successful close represents the ninth investment in Knightvest's Fund II, which remains open to new investors through 2025.
Built in 2018, the 332-unit apartment community is located in Sanford, Florida, a high-income suburb of northern Orlando. The property features a unique mix of units, including two-story townhomes with attached garages. Knightvest plans to renovate the majority of the units and make substantial upgrades to the community's amenities and common spaces. As part of the renovation efforts, Knightvest has renamed the community to The Walton.
"This acquisition reflects our continued strategy of targeting high-quality, differentiated multifamily assets in growing Sun Belt markets," said David Moore, Knightvest founder and CEO. "With a steady influx of new residents, strong job creation, and limited new supply driving sustained demand for quality housing, Orlando exemplifies the kind of high-growth Sun Belt market we target. We're excited to expand our presence in the region and implement our proven strategy at The Walton by elevating a community through thoughtful renovations."
The property's low-density footprint and proximity to major employment hubs underscore its appeal in a market where replicating such a product has become increasingly cost-prohibitive. The acquisition extends Knightvest's footprint in Central Florida, with additional Orlando-area opportunities in the pipeline.
About Knightvest Capital Knightvest is an industry-leading multifamily investment and management firm known for creating communities of excellence and delivering dependable results that enable investors, employees, and residents to thrive. As a vertically integrated firm, Knightvest specializes in renovating and repositioning multifamily properties. Its unique approach is focused on setting a new standard in design-driven quality, executing with operational efficiency, and leading with a people-first culture. Since its founding in 2007, Knightvest has invested over $10 billion to acquire over 60,000 units across high-growth metro areas in Texas, Arizona, the Carolinas, and Florida to become one of the largest apartment owners in the United States.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida’s Department of Government Efficiency is in Orlando to get access to Orange County facilities for an extensive audit of the county’s records.
Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia announced the DOGE audit in a letter last month.
It requests DOGE access to whatever county facilities, data systems and personnel are needed to investigate a trove of information going back to 2019 on everything from contracting to personnel salaries to DEI and environment-related programs to homeless services.
[VIDEO: DOGE day arrives in Orange County]
You can read the full letter at the bottom of the story.
On Tuesday, Ingoglia said the team would be on site the next three or four days for its investigation. He claims local governments have used increased property tax revenues for excess rather than necessities.
A report on findings will come about 60 days after.
“What we’ve seen traditionally from local governments is they add a lot of fluff and wind up spending things they shouldn’t be spending on,” Ingoglia said.
[VIDEO: Florida DOGE demands records, access in Orange County government audit]
District 5 Commissioner Kelly Semrad, however, says the revenues are needed to handle the huge influx of new residents. On Tuesday, she accused the state of overreach.
“The state claims we’ve added $300-plus million in spending,” Semrad said. “What the state fails to recognize is that in the last five years, we have nearly 81,000 people who have moved to Orange County.”
DeSantis and Ingoglia have sent similar letters to cities and governments across the state.
In an exclusive interview with the CFO, Ingoglia told News 6’s Matt Austin that county and city spending has gotten out of control as property values have skyrocketed in Florida, and more revenue has come in.
[WATCH: New Florida CFO defends DOGE, ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ and home insurance costs]
Counties conduct annual financial audits, which are turned in to the Florida Auditor General every year.
Orange County submitted an audit to the state for 2024, which also appeared on the Orange County Comptroller’s website. The audit was conducted by an agency separate from the comptroller.
The Florida Auditor General also has the ability to audit any local government at any time. But according to the auditor general’s website, no audit has been done on Orange County since at least 2010.
However, DeSantis and Ingoglia have launched a campaign to go after county and city governments as a way to push for property tax reform. DeSantis has championed even getting rid of local property taxes altogether.
The audits are part of that.
In many cases, the increase in property tax revenues is driven by an increase in property values as more people move into the state.
Ingoglia said every county will try to justify why they can’t cut property taxes, but in the end, that should be a priority.
“If the people in Orange County, elected officials, truly care about the taxpayer, they’re going to do everything that they can in order to give property tax relief. Because if they care about the constituents first, that’s one of the biggest issues on their minds,” Ingoglia said.
Earlier this year, the state requested financial documents from every county and city government as a prelude to these audits.
[WATCH: DeSantis announces new Florida DOGE task force]
The Florida DOGE team is targeting specific areas of the county’s budget:
The report does not focus on the different agencies in the county, including constitutional departments that maintain budgets that are paid for by county taxes, like the sheriff’s office, the comptroller’s office, or the supervisor of elections.
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings released this statement to News 6 in response:
“While we are in receipt of the Florida DOGE letter and plan to fully cooperate, there are several important factors the state should take into consideration. Since 2020, Orange County has grown by approximately 81,000 residents—a number greater than the population of 29 out of Florida’s 67 counties.
“This substantial growth has placed increasing demands on public services across the county. For example, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has experienced a five-year increase of over 7% in calls for service. Likewise, Orange County Fire Rescue has seen call volumes rise by as much as 15% comparatively over the past five years. These trends highlight the mounting pressure on essential services as our community continues to expand.”
Semrad called the DOGE initiative a massive overreach by the state government, a continuation of efforts by the state to rein in local government and local residents deciding on community needs.
“We are here because the state of Florida is making it increasingly difficult for local governments to do their jobs,” Semrad said.
“I don’t buy this argument that the state shouldn’t get involved in home rule. The people who wanted the home rule, come to the state and ask for permission to form that home rule. Who’s going to watch for the taxpayers?” Ingoglia said.
Orange County’s budget for the 2024-2025 fiscal year was $7.2 billion.
The largest single source of revenue for the budget was county property taxes.
According to the county’s budget, the county has the 11th lowest property tax rate in the state, and the lowest operating tax rate among county populations with over 1 million people. You can read that budget here.
[WATCH FROM 2024: Orange County taxes increase for fire, emergency services]
Last year, News 6 reported that Orange County approved a property tax hike to pay for fire and emergency services. The increase costs $150 per $250,000 of taxable value for a single-family home in the unincorporated part of the county.
The county was not planning to raise taxes for this year’s budget.
The DOGE campaign comes at a time when many counties and cities are considering raising taxes or fees to close budget deficits, and particularly to raise the pay of law enforcement or emergency response officers.
Brevard County, Seminole County, and the cities of Ocoee, Winter Garden, Casselberry, and Oviedo are just some of the local governments approving or considering raising taxes and fees.

Orlando, FL, August 5, 2025 – Colliers| U.S has announced the sale of Shoppes at South Semoran, a premier grocery-anchored retail center located in the densely populated corridor along South Semoran Blvd, directly north of Orlando International Airport. The 103,830-square-foot-property at 4520 S Semoran Blvd is currently 99% occupied.
Brad Peterson, Vice Chairman at Colliers, and Whitaker Leonhardt, Executive Vice President at Colliers, represented the seller, an affiliate of Core Investment Properties Fund, in the sale of Shoppes at South Semoran. The buyer was an affiliate of Newport Capital Partners. Ben Greazel, Vice Chairman at Colliers, arranged the acquisition financing with Tyler Kurau of Ameris Bank.
Built in 1986 and significantly remodelled in 2013, Shoppes at South Semoran is grocery-anchored shopping center with a Walmart Neighborhood Market as well as notable national and regional tenants Dollar Tree, Wendy’s, and Suncoast Credit Union. The property recently underwent capital projects that included façade, signage, and parking lot improvements.
“This off-market transaction marks nearly $140 million in sales and financings in Central Florida that our team has led so far in 2025,” said Leonhardt. “The Orlando MSA continues to attract commercial real estate investment from top-tier investors, especially for grocery-anchored retail centers. The population, job, and wage growth, combined with tremendous infrastructure and major economic drivers, all lead to rent growth, strong occupancy, and healthy retailer sales performance, the combination of which checks all the boxes for institutions looking to invest in growth markets like Orlando.”
