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.
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 Towson, 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.”
“My mother ended up immobile from a fall that happened Christmas morning. The following day we got in touch with Haley Davis, the owner/president of Always Best. She came to our home (within hours) on her day off. Had rented a wheelchair, reserved transportation to get our mom home, set up a nurse assessment and RN in-home care within 24 hrs! Our family couldn't be more pleased and appreciative of Haley and her team... class act!”
“They were able to hook my mother up with home care services as soon as she left rehab. Very flexible with scheduling and hours. Competitive pricing. I would recommend them.”
“Always Best Care Senior Services were our Angels in our time of need after my Mom’s heart surgery. Haley, Erin and Rebecca were all fabulous, super responsive and extremely professional and knowledgeable. We don’t know what we would have done without them. We very highly recommend them!”
“I am currently a Certified Caregiver for Always Best Care. Haley and Gina have been incredible! I love the communication, the dedication and consistency to helping others. Meeting new clients/patients is exciting and gives me purpose! Knowing I can be assistance to help others that need just a bit extra is an amazing feeling! This company is like a family as well as our clients. We treat everyone with the dignity and care that everyone should be entitled to. Despite being employed with the company, I would still offer these services to friends and family! :)”
“My experiences with Haley and Gina have been nothing short of spectacular! They are very caring and compassionate. This is is the group that you should consider for any of your loved ones assistance! Highly recommend them!!!”
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.
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. 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 Towson, 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.
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 Towson, 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.
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.
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 Towson, MD 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.

COCKEYSVILLE, MD — The family of a swimmer who drowned last month at a Baltimore County swim club wants officials to review the facility's permit, multiple reports said.
Search crews found the body of a missing swimmer on Aug. 19 in the quarry at Cockeysville's Beaver Dam Swimming Club, police said. Officers identified the victim as 36-year-old Michael Randle, who had been missing since Aug. 17.
Thiru Vignarajah, an attorney representing Randle's family, held a press conference Thursday in Towson to call for an investigation.
"People know about Beaver Dam — they know it’s a quarry, they know there’s a rope swing, they know it’s a place where lots of kids and adults go each summer that they’re open," Vignarajah said, according to The Baltimore Sun. "As a matter of public concern, we think the public ought to be confident that this facility is doing everything it needs to to keep its patrons safe."
WBFF reported that Vignarajah called for an investigation into lifeguard training, caution signage and life jacket availability.
The Sun said lifeguard staffing levels, rescue protocols and depth markings are other matters the family wants evaluated.
"This family appreciates this is a beloved hotspot for the summer. They don't want to see a place that could be safe shut down as long as it's safe," Vignarajah said, according to WBAL-TV.
There have been at least five bodies found in the quarry in recent decades, The Sun reported.
"Mr. Randle's death made him the latest drowning victim at the popular commercial swimming facility. Based on a preliminary review of drowning deaths at private facilities nationwide, including privately-operated quarries specifically, the number of drownings at Beaver Dam is conspicuous," Vignarajah said in a statement obtained by WJZ.
WJZ said the Baltimore County Department of Health received a letter from Vignarajah requesting the investigation. Health officials are reviewing the letter for a response, a department spokesperson told WJZ.
Beaver Dam Swimming Club spans about 30 acres. It offers two pools that reach up to 5 feet deep. It also has a freshwater quarry that averages 40 feet deep and is only recommended for strong swimmers.
Randle had been seen struggling in the quarry and went under, crews said.
WBAL-TV and WJZ both reported that a lifeguard tried to rescue the struggling victim, but they couldn't find him in the water.
"He was beloved, and, in so many ways, he was becoming the center of his family," Vignarajah said, according to WBAL. "He was becoming the anchor of their future, and it's hard to lose an anchor under any circumstances, but particularly circumstances like this."
Randle's family is considering all legal options, WBFF reported.
"It's a horrific end to a promising story," Vignarajah said, according to WBFF.
Beaver Dam has not responded to Patch's request for comment.

Maryland true freshman Malik Washington carved up Towson’s defense by throwing for 261 yards and a touchdown in a 44-17 victory Saturday in College Park, Md.
Before retiring to the bench in the third quarter, Washington completed 16 of 22 passes and ran for the first touchdown of his college career as Maryland (3-0) extended its FBS-best nonconference winning streak to 18 games.
Washington was intercepted for the first time in his career on a tipped pass in the third quarter. But three plays later, the Terrapins’ La’Khi Roland answered with an interception in the end zone and raced 100 yards to give Maryland a 41-0 lead early in the second half.
The last Maryland defensive player to score on a 100-yard interception return was Tom Brown in 1962.
Also rushing for Maryland touchdowns were DeJuan Williams, who carried 12 times for 47 yards, and Nolan Ray, who added nine rushes for 23 yards.
Andrew Indorf, also a true freshman, completed 12 of 25 passes for 145 yards and one touchdown for Towson (2-1), which gained 220 of its 281 yards in the second half.
Maryland gained 324 of its 428 yards in the first half.
The Terrapins improved to 4-0 against their in-state foe in the series, outscoring the Tigers 173-43 in those games. They also improved to 23-0 against FCS-level teams since 1978.
Maryland cashed in on all six of its possessions in the first half. Field goals by Sean O’Haire of 37 and 39 yards bookended four touchdowns as the Terrapins held a 34-0 lead at the half.
Washington set up Maryland’s first touchdown with a 53-yard strike to Octavian Smith Jr. On the next play, Williams scored on a 2-yard run for a 10-0 lead. Smith finished with four receptions for 103 yards.
The next time the Terrapins got the ball, Washington highlighted a 78-yard drive with a 33-yard pass to Shaleak Knotts. On the next play, Washington scored on a 2-yard run.
Early in the second quarter, Washington and Knotts teamed up again on a 32-yard touchdown play which boosted Maryland’s lead to 24-0. Knotts finished with four receptions for 79 yards.
Towson avoided a shutout late in the third quarter when Indorf threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Lukkas Londono.
The Tigers’ Nathan Kent came off the bench in the fourth quarter and completed an 84-yard touchdown pass down the middle to Jaceon Doss.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- — Malik Washington threw for a touchdown and ran for one, and La'khi Roland returned an interception 100 yards for a TD as Maryland routed Towson 44-17 on Saturday.
The Terrapins won their 18th consecutive nonconference game, the longest active streak in the FBS. Their Big Ten slate begins next weekend. This matchup against an FCS opponent — the alma mater of Maryland coach Michael Locksley — was lopsided from the start.
Roland's interception return made it 41-0 early in the third quarter. It was the first 100-yard interception return for Maryland since Tom Brown pulled off the feat in 1962 against Virginia.
“I just seen grass,” Roland said. “I just seen the green grass. Amazing teammate Dontay Joyner No. 6 helped me out with a block, and it was a touchdown from there."
DeJuan Williams scored on a 2-yard run in the first to give the Terps a 10-0 lead, then Washington reached the end zone from 2 yards out later in the quarter. A 32-yard scoring pass from Washington to Shaleak Knotts made it 24-0.
Nolan Ray added a rushing TD, and it was 34-0 after two quarters.
Washington went 16 of 22 for 261 yards with an interception. He has thrown for 773 yards through his first three college games, the most by a power conference true freshman since Alan Bowman of Texas Tech had 1,160 in 2018.
“He just understands where, and the type of accuracy that we need to make some of these throws,” Locksley said. “As I've said before, he's still working, kind of still in that training camp mode. ... But I'm really pleased with how he's protected the football and the decision making.”
Nathan Kent threw an 84-yard touchdown to Jaceon Doss in the fourth quarter for Towson.
Octavian Smith Jr. had four catches for 103 yards for Maryland.
The takeaway
Towson: It was too late to make much difference, but the Tigers outscored Maryland 17-3 after the long interception return and even managed to cover the spread, which was 28 1/2 at Sportsbook.
Maryland: It's hard to take too much from a matchup like this one, but the Terrapins again showed some positive signs defensively until late. Maryland has allowed 33 points through its first three games.
“Probably the best thing that comes out of a game like this is we got to play a lot of players, and we got to put some good and bad on the tape,” Locksley said. “With a team that's inexperienced like the one we have, we'll be better because of the depth that we've been able to create by playing some of these young guys in situations today and getting it on tape."
Protection
Washington still hasn't taken a sack in three games, which says a lot about how quickly he's getting the ball out — and also how well the line is pass blocking.
“Those guys have been putting in a lot of work the whole offseason and throughout the preseason,” Washington said. “I have full and complete confidence and trust in them up front, and they allow me to just sit back there and play.”
Up next
Maryland plays at Wisconsin next Saturday. Towson is off before playing at Bryant on Sept. 27.
