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 Growden Mansion 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 Bensalem, PA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

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 Bensalem Central Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local La Cena Restaurant or visit The Historical Society of Bensalem Township, 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 Bensalem, PA, 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 Bensalem, PA 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 Bensalem, PA 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.

UPDATE: The westbound lanes of the Pennsylvania Turnpike have reopened following a closure that lasted over an hour earlier this morning. The news that the highway reopened came around 9:10 am on Thursday (June 5).
The closure was part of a clean up from an earlier accident in the area of mile marker 346.1 (that's between the Bensalem and Willow Grove exits).
Delays remain as traffic gets moving but we're seeing improving conditions in the area
ORIGINAL STORY BELOW:An important heads up if you're a morning commuter in Bucks County, Pa today (Thursday, June 5). There have been massive delays in the Willow Grove area so far this morning, and it sounds like they're about to get a little worse.
An accident has been reported on the westbound side of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276) around mile marker 346.9. That is the area between the Bensalem and Willow Grove exits (exit numbers #351 and #343.).
We first learned of the accident before 7:30 a.m. As of 8:15 a.m., we're now hearing that the roadway itself may be closed in the area as crews work clean up the accident scene.
Earlier it was reported that at least two lanes were blocked by the crash. So with the closure, you can imagine the traffic in the area will get even worse.
For now, your best bet is to avoid the area if you're traveling westbound on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bucks County, PA.. The good news, however, is that there are no major delays reported on the eastbound side of the roadway in that same area.
This story will be updated when learn more about traffic in the area.

Bensalem, PA (June 7, 2025) – A startling crash in Bensalem on Friday morning, June 6, left a car lodged in the wall of a garage after it was rear-ended at a traffic light.
The incident occurred shortly after 10 a.m. on Bristol Pike near Station Road. According to investigators, a car was stopped at a red light when it was struck from behind by a pickup truck. The impact sent the car careening across a parking lot and crashing into the side of a nearby garage.
Dramatic footage from the scene shows the front of the vehicle embedded in the structure’s wall.
Two people inside the car—a driver and a passenger—were taken to a local hospital with injuries described as stable. The truck driver was reportedly uninjured.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
We hope for the full recovery of the injured victims.
Each year, thousands of people are injured in vehicle accidents on Pennsylvania’s roads. With a vast network of interstates and heavily traveled highways—such as I-76, I-95, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike—the potential for serious collisions is high. Between dense urban traffic and fast-moving rural routes, drivers in the Keystone State face significant risks every time they get behind the wheel.
Accidents involving multiple vehicles are particularly dangerous and often lead to severe injuries or fatalities. National data shows that in just one recent year, there were over 160,000 multi-vehicle crashes across the U.S., resulting in thousands of deaths. While states like California, Florida, and Texas rank highest in volume, Pennsylvania consistently sees its share of devastating collisions.
These crashes are often caused by preventable errors—speeding, distracted driving, failure to yield, and impaired driving are among the top contributors. Unfortunately, holding at-fault drivers accountable isn’t always simple. Insurance companies often fight hard to minimize or deny claims, especially in complex cases involving serious injuries or multiple parties.
That’s why it’s so important to seek experienced legal guidance as soon as possible after a crash. If you or someone you love has been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you have the right to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and more. And if you've lost a loved one, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim.
At Edelstein Martin & Nelson, our car accident attorneys have built a reputation for standing up for accident victims and their families across Pennsylvania. Our dedicated team of personal injury attorneys has successfully represented clients in some of the most complex and heartbreaking cases—helping them find justice and financial relief after serious crashes.
You shouldn’t have to face the aftermath of a life-altering accident alone. Call Edelstein Martin & Nelson today at (215) 731-9900 for a free consultation. Let us fight for the compensation and accountability you deserve.

Bensalem—A tiny but mighty charitable organization entitled Mud In My Cleats provided six scholarships to deserving athletes who will be graduating today at Bensalem High School's graduation ceremony. The annual scholarship breakfast was held in the Cotillion Room at Parx Casino on Tuesday morning, June 10th where President Ron Davis and Treasurer Marc Cohen distributed $500 scholarship checks to the following athletes: Ashlyn Merz, Chris Kelly, Devon Bell, Jahmir Chatman, Tejas Sasan and Vanessa Shay. The students were able to bring their families and friends to celebrate and enjoy a delicious breakfast sponsored by Parx Casino.
Mayor Joseph DiGirolamo attended with some of his staff members and provided an inspirational speech to the attendees about his history of growing up on a family farm in Bensalem and his love of the Bensalem community.
Guest Speaker, Sheila Murphy also provided some motivational messaging, with lessons from her storied career as an athlete, educator, coach, and athletic director. Sheila is in several hall of fames to include the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame, The Bucks County Sports Hall of Fame and Temple University's Hall of Fame.
Geoffrey Per, Principal at Bensalem High School stated, "Mud in My Cleats is a fantastic organization that’s sole purpose is to give back to the communities that supported them during their NFL careers. Bensalem HS was honored to have 6 students receive a scholarship to help offset the cost of their college tuition. Our students enjoyed the retired NFL speakers, their wisdom and commitment to serving their communities was inspiring. They really stressed the importance of character, being kind, and giving back and our students and their families really enjoyed the message along with Parx Casino incredible hospitality in hosting the event."
Ron Davis closed the event with the moving song, "Lean on Me" which he sang a cappella, as the audience enthusiastically joined in! Ron later commented, "This scholarship event is always one of my favorite days of the year, and I am so happy to be part of this thriving community!"
Mud In My Cleats' board is made up of former NFL football players - Brad Quast, Robert Grupp, Ron Davis, Carl Petitti and Joseph Wilson. Additional board members include Marc Cohen and Morgan Bennyhoff.
Mud In My Cleats plans several events throughout the year to raise funding for the distribution of these scholarships. To support Mud In My Cleats in the mission, you can follow the organization on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/MudIn...
