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 Edgar Allan Pоe National Historic Site 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 Philadelphia, 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 Fairmount 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 Volvér or visit Powel House, 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 Philadelphia, 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 Philadelphia, 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 Philadelphia, 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.

Leacock Twp, PA (April 4, 2025) – Emergency responders were quick to the scene, providing care to the injured victims following a serious multi-vehicle crash that occurred at the intersection of Old Philadelphia Pike and N Ronks Rd in Leacock Township.
The collision, reported on Friday, involved three vehicles and resulted in several individuals sustaining a variety of injuries. While the initial alert mentioned a possible entrapment, officials later confirmed that no one was trapped inside their vehicles. First responders, including personnel from Leacock Township Fire and Rescue, swiftly evaluated and treated the victims on-site.
The crash took place at a notably busy rural intersection known for frequent local and commuter traffic. Authorities have not yet confirmed the exact number of people injured, but multiple parties were reported to be down at the scene and required immediate medical attention. EMS crews coordinated care on-site before transporting victims to nearby medical facilities for further evaluation.
Details regarding the identities of those involved and the cause of the accident have not been released at this time. Law enforcement officials are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision to determine what led up to the incident.
Our thoughts are with those affected by this accident as they recover.
Multi-vehicle accidents are particularly complex, especially in areas like Leacock Township where high-speed cross traffic intersects with local roads. Intersections such as Old Philadelphia Pike and N Ronks Rd can become hazardous due to limited visibility, sudden turns, or momentary driver inattention. When three or more vehicles are involved, establishing liability becomes more difficult, often leading to extended investigations and possible insurance disputes.
In Pennsylvania, data from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) shows that approximately 30% of all reportable traffic accidents in the state involve multiple vehicles. These types of crashes are more likely to cause serious injuries simply due to the number of impacts and the increased risk of secondary collisions.
After a multi-vehicle crash, it is vital for all parties involved to document the scene, seek immediate medical care even for minor symptoms, and obtain a full accident report. Medical records and thorough documentation can help strengthen any necessary claims for compensation, particularly when multiple drivers and insurance companies are involved.
For communities like Leacock Township, where rural highways and well-traveled county roads intersect, driver awareness and updated traffic control measures can play a crucial role in preventing these types of collisions. Local traffic safety initiatives and infrastructure improvements continue to be a focus in Lancaster County to help minimize accident risks.

Strong storms that roared through the Philadelphia region overnight left trees down, power out for thousands and even forced a Delaware County school district to close Friday.
The storms roared through the region from west to east before mostly daybreak on April 4, 2025.
In the stormy aftermath, trees could be seen down on wires and roads, some large trees were even uprooted by the strong winds in Delaware County and parts of South Jersey.
The Wallingford-Swarthmore School District was forced to close its schools in Delaware County due to storm damage.
"All schools will be closed today because of power outages and downed trees in the area," Acting Superintendent Jim Scanlon said in a notice posted to the district website Friday morning. "We are unable to get our buses to many of our neighborhoods due to road closures."
The district has around 3,700 students spread over five schools, U.S. News and World Report says.
"Staff should work remotely from home," Scanlon said. "Wallingford Elementary School, and Nether Providence Elementary Schools are without Friday April 4. PECO is not able to provide an estimated time for power to be restored."
The district expected power to be restored in time for weekend activities at the school.
In Gloucester Township, Camden County, police shared images on social media of downed trees in the Broadmoor Development. Luckily, no one was hurt and the power stayed on despite the high winds, police said.
PECO reported more than 5,000 customers without power around 10 a.m. Friday. the vast majority of outages were in Delco. By 11:30 a.m. those outages were down to about 3,800.
Over in New Jersey, PSE&G reported around 1,400 power outages in Gloucester County by 10 a.m. Ninety minutes later less than 500 outages remained.
The dreary days continue through the weekend with drizzle rain and some stormy weather possible through Monday morning. Be sure to have the NBC10 app downloaded to ensure you get the latest forecast and any severe weather alerts sent directly to your device.

Office of Food Protection from the Health Department conducted health inspections on April 3. Three restaurants were found to have multiple violations with potential risk factors. These violations could pose potential health risks if not addressed.
Please note that the results mentioned here are from a particular inspection conducted on April 3 and may not represent the future health inspection status of the establishments.
The Philadelphia Health Department is vigilant about the operational processes of the food sector in the area. Safe food practices help maintain public health and prevent foodborne illnesses.
For this, health inspections are conducted at restaurants. In an inspection conducted this Thursday, three restaurants did not have satisfactory performance.
Momoka Restaurant serves Japanese cuisine and bubble tea to residents of Philadelphia. It has two outlets in Philadelphia, one of which failed to pass the health inspection.
As per the inspection report, it was observed that meat was being washed in the three-compartment sink in the kitchen’s ware wash area.
Breaded shrimp were observed uncovered by the inspecting officer in the refrigeration unit. Boiled eggs and meats prepared in the food facility were held for more than 48 hours and were not date-marked.
Frozen food items were directly stored on the floor, and the ice machine bin had pink slime. Food and other debris were found accumulated in freezer unit.
It was observed that wiping cloths were not stored in a sanitizing solution. The report also mentioned that the hood filters had static dust and grease buildup.
Pho Viet Huong is a family-owned restaurant. It brings Vietnamese cuisine to the palate of Philadelphia residents.
The health inspection at the outlet unveiled a number of violations. The Food Safety certified person could not demonstrate knowledge of the foodborne illnesses to the inspecting officer.
It was seen that raw meat was stored above ready-to-eat food and vegetables in the walk-in cooler. The chlorine concentration of the sanitizing solution was tested and was less than the required 50-100 ppm.
The inspection report mentions that potentially hazardous food was held at 43 to 53 degrees F rather than 41 degrees F or below as required. Customer entry was not properly restricted in the prep area.
One refrigerator in the food prep area was holding food above 41 degrees F. The temperature of the food decreased during the inspection. The use of the unit is restricted by the inspecting officer until it can hold food at 41 degrees F or below.
DJ Kitchen is famous for serving spicy and delicious snacks. During the re-inspection on April 3, following an initial inspection on March 31, multiple violations remained unresolved.
A failure to comply with the standards even after a chance led to the decision to cease operations. The report mentions that sauces like “ranch dressing” were held at room temperature instead of 41 degrees F or below.
There was visible physical evidence of rodent activity (mouse droppings) in the food prep area. The inspecting officer saw that drip at the faucet spout on the work station.
Grease was accumulated on surfaces inside the mechanical exhaust hood, filters, and pipes. The officer asked employees to clean the floors in the food prep area and the hallway floor under storage racks near the restroom.
The Philadelphia Department of Health has ordered all three restaurants to implement corrective actions to eliminate the violations.
After reinspection, the compliance status of the restaurants will be assessed. For DJ Kitchen, the department has ordered closure as it failed the reinspection due to imminent health hazards.

PHILADELPHIA — An international student at Temple University has returned to their home country after their student visa was revoked, according to university officials.
In a letter to the school community, Temple President John Fry said the student's visa was revoked "at the discretion of the United States Secretary of State."
"The allegations supporting the revocation are unknown at this time," he said.
The discovery was made during a recent routine review of student visa records.
"No other Temple student's records have been adjusted, and we are regularly reviewing student visa records to monitor for status changes," Fry said.
Temple's Office of Global Engagement informed the student of the change in status after learning of the revocation, and the university was worked to support the student, including ensuring access to legal counsel and communication with officials from their home country, Fry said.
"In this particular case, the student has elected to return home.," he said. "Out of concern for the privacy of the student, we will not comment further on any specifics of this situation."
This student visa revocation comes on the heels of two high-profile revocations and detainment of students at Columbia and Tufts universities. Those students, Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk, were outspoken about Israel's aggressive actions in Gaza after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. Khalil and Ozturk are undergoing deportation hearings.
"I recognize that news like this is deeply alarming," Fry said. "This is true for all Temple students, faculty and staff but it is especially true for international members of our community. Please know our international students, faculty and staff are valued members of our community, and we are committed to doing all we lawfully can to assist in circumstances like this."
Fry said the university has had no reports of federal ICE or Customs and Border Protection officers being present on campus.
