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.

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.

“Extremely responsive, professional, and friendly. Nothing but wonderful things to say about the process and people. An evaluation was performed the same day I called about needing the service. They are very sensitive to your needs and follow through to make sure they are met in to the highest degree.”
“Haley and Toan have been an amazing resource to my mother and I, helping us with sitting services for my father in a dementia facility after his return from a hospitalization but they have really gone above and beyond. She has been an amazing resource and really cares about helping people. I am a nurse myself and so impressed with how proactive and helpful she has been, far beyond just sitting services. Very appreciated and much needed. I would absolutely recommend using her and her company to help you and your loved ones.”
“Haley and her team are a pleasure to work with! As a partner in the senior care industry, Always Best Care has been known to go above and beyond when it comes to working with, and educating families on options and resources. I am always happy to work with them, knowing they will provide the best care and options for the families they serve!”

Haley and her team at ABC were able to set up care for our loved one on very short notice. Working with Haley has made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. I would highly recommend Always Best Care. THANK YOU!”
“Very easy to work with and great communication. They go over and above. Would highly recommend!!!”
“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 — A Lego resale store is opening its first Maryland location next month.
Bricks & Minifigs, named after types of Lego pieces, is opening in Cockeysville's Yorktowne Plaza. The grand opening will feature a fan favorite from a Lego building TV competition.
The franchise is owned by Nicolas Lopez, an alumnus of St. Paul's School in Timonium.
Lopez grew up in Baldwin and played baseball for St. Paul's and the Carroll Manor Red Birds. He attended the University of Kentucky before transferring to Towson University. He now lives in Towson.
"We wanted to open close to home and work with the community that I grew up in," Lopez told Patch in a statement. "I spent much of my time in the Timonium and Cockeysville area, and my grandparents live nearby as well. Cockeysville felt like the perfect place to start Maryland's first Bricks & Minifigs."
The store employs 14 workers and spans 2,700 square feet at 30 Cranbrook Road. It will hold its grand opening on Saturday, Sept. 6.
The celebration runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and includes:
Mel Brown, who competed on Season 1 of "Lego Masters," will attend and greet fans.
Lopez's journey with Lego "started at a very young age."
"I have always loved collecting and building sets, and I visited every LEGO® store my parents or grandparents could take me to," he said. "That early passion grew over the years into a lifelong enthusiasm for the creativity and community that LEGO® inspires."
Bricks & Minifigs specializes in buying, selling and trading all things Lego. That includes retired and new sets, bulk bricks and thousands of minifigures.
Along with its retail store, Bricks & Minifigs has a birthday party room that can accommodate up to 25 kids. There will also be Lego activities for children and adults at the business.
"Customers can expect a fun, creative, and family-friendly environment where they can buy, sell, and trade LEGO® sets, bulk bricks, and minifigures," Lopez said. "It's a place for enthusiasts of all ages to discover, shop, and play."
Entrepreneurship runs in Lopez's family.
"My parents have both owned small businesses in the area, and my grandfather was also a very successful businessman," he said. "Inspired by that legacy, I knew I wanted to run my own business. After doing my research, I found that Bricks & Minifigs was the perfect fit for me, and I knew I wanted to bring it to Maryland."

COCKEYSVILLE, MD — A new restaurant with liquor lockers and a bank vault storing alcohol is opening this fall in Baltimore County. There will also be a private dining room that doubles as a podcast booth at Yorktowne Social, coming soon to Cockeysville.
Husband-wife duo Jim "Jimmy T" and Ellen Trujillo plan to unveil their "grand finale" this fall in Yorktowne Plaza. They expect to be open for the football season, but their ambitious operation might not be ready for week one.
As residents of Sparks, the couple's new multi-venue venture is a return to their roots.
"For Jimmy, it’s personal. His family called Cockeysville home during his dad’s defense contractor years, and it left a mark," Yorktowne Social told Patch in a Wednesday email. "He met Ellen just around the corner at Beaver Dam and started their life together here — their first apartment was right across the street. This project is their love letter to a town that shaped them."
Yorktowne Social will employ over 50 workers and span 18,000 square feet at 88 Cranbrook Road.
The dining and entertainment destination will have five different concepts at one address: an upscale restaurant, a casual and trendy kitchen, a sports bar, a cigar bar and a courtyard.
Jimmy Trujillo is a national hospitality consultant, nightlife and restaurant designer and a self-described "operational guru." Ellen Trujillo calls herself "Baltimore's favorite bartender turned salon entrepreneur." She owns Brocatos Collective in Timonium.
"Jimmy T has spent 30+ years in hospitality design and management, working on venues across the U.S., often in partnership with cities, stadiums, and national brands," Yorktowne Social said. "Yorktowne Social is his passion project — a grand finale, albeit a mini version, built in the place he loves most. Every concept has roots in his experience but was crafted with local flavor and community connection at its core."
Jimmy Trujillo and Rebecca Butcher, media and creative director, described Yorktowne Social's concepts as:
Oak & Olive
"Sophisticated dining where Maryland meets the Mediterranean. Think seasonal menus, quarterly guest chef tastings, and a refined atmosphere."
Social Kitchen
"Our trend-forward heart — Instagram-worthy plates, 16 craft beers on tap, hand-crafted cocktails, and a real bank vault stocked with top-shelf spirits."
GAME Room
"The ultimate sports bar — giant media walls, indoor/outdoor crush bar, live entertainment, retro games, and fast upscale pub fare."
V&C Cigar Bar
"Speakeasy charm with Cuban and Italian flair. Leather couches, enclosed patio, private dining room/podcast booth, and liquor lockers for your rare bourbon stash."
Courtyard
"Outdoor oasis with fire pits, live music, chill vibes and a menu straight from Social Kitchen. Perfect for tailgates and brunches or evenings under the string lights."
Yorktowne Social described its menus as "bold, diverse, and ever-evolving."
"Whether it's Mediterranean elegance at Oak & Olive, game-day indulgence in the GAME Room, or innovative shareables at Social Kitchen, our food tells a story," the restaurant said. "And the drinks? Next level. Craft beers, creative cocktails, premium spirits, and curated wine lists — we've got something for every palate and celebration."
Yorktowne Social is still hiring. There are daily open interviews at the business through Aug. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.
Customers and interested applicants can follow the eatery on Facebook for more information.
"This isn’t just a new place to eat — it’s a place to belong," Yorktowne Social said. "From brunches in the Courtyard to late-night podcasts at V&C, Yorktowne Social invites the community to experience Cockeysville like never before. It’s bold. It’s immersive. It’s ours."

BALTIMORE, MD — "Protecting Americans From Hunger," the Southside Diner website boasts. A national food website argues that it provides the best food in Maryland.
LoveFood.Com has named the Southside Diner in Baltimore the best diner in the state.
"Southside Diner may not have the retro flair or elegant décor of some of the other diners on our list; in fact, it’s pretty nondescript from the outside. But that really doesn’t matter when the food is this good," a recent review said. "The menu features classic diner fare – burgers, sandwiches, and ham and eggs – alongside Greek specialties like spanakopita (spinach pie) and gyros. People love the warm, friendly atmosphere, too."
Breakfast fare includes egg platters, omelettes, classics like eggs benedict, and special offerings such as the Tillman Tower — chipped beef over toast topped with two over easy eggs and served with home fries — or the After Workout Breakfast, which consists of six egg whites served with your choice of meat, a side of oatmeal and toast.
The diner offers kid-size portions of silver-dollar pancakes, with or without chocolate chips.
The company also operates Southside Burger Bar at Cross Street Market, 1065 S. Charles St. in Baltimore.
If You Go:
According to the business' website, Southside Diner opened in 2012 when two brothers bought what was previously Rallos Restaurant. In 2014, Nick and Steve relocated across the street and quickly became a neighborhood favorite. The atmosphere is very friendly — Nick and Steve can often be heard inquiring about customers families. The menu includes classic diner fare that is freshly made in-house and also incorporates Greek specialties like Gyros and Spinach pie. It is no wonder that this cozy neighborhood diner has fast become a local hotspot with an efficient, friendly staff, generous portions at reasonable prices.

The best employer in Maryland is NASA, according to a new Forbes ranking released Thursday. The best employer in Maryland that is also headquartered in the state is the University of Maryland, the ranking said.
Forbes’ 2025 ranking of America’s Best Employers By State is based on surveys of more 169,000 employees who work for a company of at least 500 within the United States.
They were asked on a scale of zero to 10 how likely they were to recommend their current employer, and also evaluate their workplace on factors like wages, parity, work culture, and paths to professional advancement, and whether their employer takes action on serious issues, such as sexual harassment.
The survey, conducted by market research firm Statista, also asked respondents to evaluate other recent employers and organizations they knew through their industry or through family and friends who work there.
These are the top 10 employers that operate in Maryland. Some are based out of state. Their names are followed by their industry, headquarters location and year of founding.
