Home Care In Baltimore, MD

Home Care Baltimore, MD

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 Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Baltimore, MD 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 Baltimore, MD is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I live in MD. I have very close friends who live in PA. The husband was diagnosed with cancer. It was a diagnosis that came out of left field. It left them reeling with every unknown when they were told it had developed and progressed rapidly. I called a friend, who lives in my home state, to ask if she knew of any companies that could not only provide health care services to my PA friends, but be ready to do so without delays. She referred me to Haley Davis with Always Best Care Senior Services. I called as soon as I hung up. I left a voicemail, and received a call from Haley within 10 minutes. Providing as much detail and information as I could, I was assured they would be able to provide different levels of care as they were needed. She also said that I, or any member of my friends’ family, could call her if we needed anything. Today my PA friend said she emailed Always Best Care Senior Services last night. Later today I heard that Haley responded, and services were put into place. The absolute last thing anyone should have to be concerned about when they are emotionally overwhelmed and physically depleted from a devastating disease is dealing with automated phone systems, reaching the correct departments, filing requests in triplicate, and being told they’ll be put on a waiting list. Absolute Best Care Senior Services is just what the name says. They aren’t just able to provide the services that will be needed, they provide the peace of mind that allows their clients to focus on themselves. That’s what caring and compassion are about. I don’t think I could ever express my gratitude. Thank you.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Baltimore, MD?

lm-check

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.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

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.

lm-check

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.

Home Care Baltimore, MD
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

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 Charleston or visit Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse, 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.

Benefits of Home Care in Baltimore, MD

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 Baltimore, MD, 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.

 Elderly Care Baltimore, MD

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 MD'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.
 Senior Care Baltimore, MD

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 Baltimore, MD 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.


Respite Care Baltimore, MD

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
 Caregivers Baltimore, MD

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:

  • Brightview Catonsville Senior Assisted Living Memory Care
  • HeartLands Assisted Living at Severna Park
  • Symphony Manor
  • Esther's Place At The Park Assisted Living
  • Cottages of Perry Hall
  • Roland Park Place
Home Care Baltimore, MD

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.

 In-Home Care Baltimore, MD

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

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.

At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Baltimore, MD 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.

The rain and snow will taper by Saturday afternoon, as temperatures warm to near 40 degrees.

Another storm system will develop on Sunday, but to the south of the Baltimore Area. The steadiest precipitation will be in southern Maryland and the Eastern Shore where a trace to 1" of snow accumulation is possible. Light, scattered snow may still graze the Baltimore area on Sunday.

Two winter storm fronts will bring separate chances for accumulating snow to the greater Baltimore area this weekend, according to forecasters.

While the overall likelihood of significant accumulation is low, there is a possibility of some depending on the track of the storms.

The first front will arrive overnight Friday into the early morning hours of Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. The greatest chance of snow for the Baltimore area will be during the overnight hours, with scattered snow showers possible on Saturday morning before switching to rain through early afternoon.

According to the National Weather Service, forecasted temperatures combined with dry air will likely limit snow accumulations to a dusting in most areas, if any accumulation occurs at all.

The most likely locations to see around an inch of snow or more are along Parr's Ridge to the Maryland/Pennsylvania border, and from the Catoctins to around the Hagerstown area.

A second front will arrive from the coast on early Sunday morning before moving north Sunday night into Monday morning.

“The storm is expected to move quickly up the East Coast," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Pydynowski said in the agency's latest forecast. "Its exact track will determine how far north snow spreads and whether coastal communities see accumulations or just a brief burst of snow."

The greatest chance of snow for the Baltimore area will be during the day on Sunday, forecasters said. Areas to the southeast of Interstate 95 are more likely to see additional accumulation.

Regardless of final accumulation, even brief periods of snow could create slick roads, particularly on bridges and overpasses, leading to travel delays.

Temperatures are expected to plummet to 24 degrees overnight Sunday with wind chills as cold as 0. The cold will persist into Monday night with possible wind chills near -10 degrees.

Any accumulation near Interstate 95 cities could also disrupt commuting and airport operations at the start of the new week.

Here's a look at the detailed National Weather Service forecast for the region:

Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 36. West wind around 9 mph becoming south in the afternoon.

Friday Night: Scattered snow showers, mainly between 1am and 2am. Increasing clouds, with a low around 32. South wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Saturday: Scattered snow showers before 10am, then scattered rain showers between 10am and 1pm. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 45. South wind 5 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

Saturday Night: A slight chance of rain after 1am, mixing with snow after 4am. Increasing clouds, with a low around 32. Light west wind. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Sunday: A slight chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 37. Northwest wind 3 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 24.

Monday: Sunny, with a high near 37.

Monday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 15.

Tuesday: Sunny, with a high near 25.

Two days after a missed field goal kept the Baltimore Ravens out of the NFL playoffs, the team has fired head coach John Harbaugh.

BALTIMORE — Just two days after a missed field goal in the waning seconds of the Baltimore Ravens game kept them out of the playoffs, the team has fired head coach John Harbaugh, reports said.

Owner Steve Bisciotti said Tuesday he relieved Harbaugh of his duties after the Ravens were one of the league’s most disappointing teams this season. They went 8-9 and missed the playoffs after entering Week 1 as one of the Super Bowl favorites. Baltimore’s season ended Sunday night when Tyler Loop missed a last-second field goal, allowing Pittsburgh to hold on for a 26-24 victory in the game that decided the AFC North title.

“This was an incredibly difficult decision, given the tremendous 18 years we have spent together and the profound respect I have for John as a coach and, most importantly, as a great man of integrity," Bisciotti said in a statement. "Throughout what I firmly believe is a Hall of Fame coaching career, John has delivered a Super Bowl championship to Baltimore and served as a steadfast pillar of humility and leadership.”

In a statement, Harbaugh thanked Bisciotti and the Ravens organization for his time in Baltimore.

“Well, I was hoping for a different kind of message on my last day here, someday, but that day has come today,” Harbaugh said. “It comes with disappointment certainly, but more with GRATITUDE & APPRECIATION. Gratitude to the owner and organization who was willing to bring in a head coach who made his mark with special teams success. A difficult thing to do … and Appreciation for all the moments, all these years, that are etched into eternity.”

Only the third head coach in Ravens history, Harbaugh departs after leaving an indelible mark on the franchise, the team said in a statement.

"We now begin the challenging, but exciting, process of identifying the next leader of our football team," Bisciotti said. "We fully understand the expectations of our fans and everyone in the Ravens organization. Finding another strong leader and partner who will reflect these high standards is paramount. We deeply appreciate our fans and will continue to work relentlessly to bring them, our city and the extended community the success they deserve."

ESPN's lead NFL writer, Adam Schefter, broke the news on X shortly after 5 p.m. Tuesday.

"Sources: John Harbaugh is out as the Ravens head coach," Schefter posted.

During Harbaugh's 18 seasons in Baltimore, the Ravens compiled a 180-113 record with a 13-11 postseason record and one Super Bowl championship. That win in 2012 came over his younger brother Jim Harbaugh and the San Francisco 49ers.

Rookie kicker Tyler Loop’s missed field goal allowed the Pittsburgh Steelers to claim their first AFC North title in five years with a 26-24 win Sunday over the Ravens.

This season was only the sixth time Baltimore missed the postseason under Harbaugh. That’s the same number of times the Ravens won the AFC North with him at the helm.

But most of Baltimore’s postseason success came in his first few seasons. The Ravens went to the AFC title game three times in his first five years as coach, culminating in their run to the 2012 Super Bowl title as a wild card.

At that point, Harbaugh was 9-4 in the postseason, but after that he was just 4-7. After three straight seasons without a playoff berth, Lamar Jackson arrived in 2018 and led Baltimore to a division title. But Harbaugh’s lone trip to an AFC title game with Jackson was wasted two seasons ago when Baltimore lost at home to Kansas City.

Squandering significant advantages became a troubling trend for the Ravens in Harbaugh’s last few seasons. The Ravens have blown 10 double-digit leads in the second half in the last six seasons. No other team has done that more than seven times.

After a hamstring injury sidelined Jackson, Baltimore stumbled to a 1-5 start in 2025. Harbaugh and the Ravens worked their way back into contention and eventually reached Sunday’s winner-take-all matchup as a favorite to beat the Steelers. But despite Derrick Henry’s early dominance on the ground and Jackson’s sensational fourth quarter, another season ended in excruciating fashion.

If this departure was a result of that loss — which is not necessarily clear — then the missed kick at the end could have quite a domino effect throughout the league. If he wants to coach next season, Harbaugh may be the most sought-after person on the market, and the Baltimore job might the best available, given the short-term possibilities with Jackson at quarterback and the organization's reputation for stability.

The Baltimore Banner said Harbaugh had the most wins of any coach in Ravens history. His departure was confirmed by a team spokesman to the website.

Harbaugh, 63, was the NFL’s second-longest-tenured active head coach, behind the Steelers’ Mike Tomlin, the Banner said. In March, he signed a contract extension through the 2028 season.

Asked in April about his expectations for the franchise’s next three decades in Baltimore, Bisciotti told the team website, “I want to win now. I don’t give a damn about 30 years from now, I really don’t.”

Baltimore was Harbaugh's first stint as a head coach after working in the Philadelphia Eagles organization as special teams coordinator from 1998 to 2006 and as the defensive backs coach in 2007, the New York Post said.

The 8×10, a longtime staple of the Baltimore, MD music scene and a go-to tour stop for rising bands for decades, will close its doors for good in 2026. The independent venue’s owners, Brian Shupe and Abigail Janssens, announced the news in a Facebook post on January 1st.

“The New Year is a time to look forward and make new plans,” the post reads. “With that energy in mind, we are announcing the closure of The 8×10 on June 30th, 2026. We have happily spent the last 20 years serving the music community of Baltimore, even extending our lease in hopes of finding a new owner to carry on the live music tradition in Federal Hill. While we still hold out hope for that to happen, we are planning these next six months as the end of our stewardship of The 8×10.”

“We cannot thank all the patrons, bands, and staff who have helped us to celebrate music and togetherness at The 8×10 for the last 20 years,” the post continues. “So… look forward and make plans to come say goodbye to the venue before the lights go out on Cross Street for the last time.” The post also includes the full lyrics to “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac.

explains in a report on the venue’s closure that “the husband and wife duo are retiring, shifting focus to taking care of their aging parents,” adding that “20 years at the helm of the business was always the plan, [with Shupe] describing it as their ‘stewardship’ of a venue that first opened in 1983 as Joe’s Organic Juice Bar.”

The report by also notes some of the many bands that have played the cramped but beloved room—among them, Phish’s first-ever Maryland concert on December 7th, 1989—and includes a quote about the room from “Scrambled” Greg Ormont of Baltimore-based jam favorites Pigeons Playing Ping Pong: “I always described The 8×10 as the ideal intimate venue, where the spring-loaded dance floor had bands and fans bouncing in unison, and that’s how I’ll always remember it,” Ormont said.
