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.

There's nowhere quite like Siesta Beach.
There are in every corner of the world, that’s true. But only 50 get the honor of landing on the annual list.
Each year, the list is put together with the expertise of thousands of travel experts. Then, the selections are further whittled according to a unique set of parameters, including categories like "Easy to Enter," "," "Not Too Crowded," and "Frequently Idyllic." After evaluating all the data, just one beach in the U.S. made it on the list, and it also ranked as the 12th .
Perhaps, as no surprise to those in the know, the best beach in the U.S. is in Siesta Key, Florida.
This Florida Keys destination is known for its soft sand, which consists mainly of pure quartz that originated from the Appalachian Mountains. Because of its quartz composition, the sand never gets too hot. "What makes Siesta Beach truly special is its sand,” said Suze Renner, from Luxury Columnist, . “The beach is famous for its 99 percent pure quartz sand, which is powdery white and incredibly fine."
The water is also clear, shallow, calm, and easy to enter, making it easy to swim and wade in. There’s also not a ton of development in the area, keeping the environment nearly pristine. This is somewhat unique to Siesta Beach compared to other beaches in the same region, as are constantly undergoing construction and urbanization.
World’s 50 Best Beaches’ also gave Siesta Beach the "frequently Idyllic" designation, meaning “your odds of perfect beach days are much higher than average.” For most of the year, there are fewer than 10 rainy days per month in Siesta Beach, with year-round average highs between 70 and 90 degrees.
This isn’t the first time that Siesta Beach has been named one of the best beaches in the U.S. Back in February, named it the No. 1 U.S. beach, and the fourth best beach in the world. Its report also cited the beach's soft sand, calm waters, and quietness as well as frequent dolphin sightings and excellent sunsets.
“Siesta Key has the ultimate laid-back beach vibe,” Kelly Defebo, vice president of marketing and communications at Visit Sarasota County, in June 2024. “Sunsets anywhere are gorgeous, but they are not to be missed here."

Evan Tedgi, a graduating senior at Lower Merion High School in Ardmore, Pa., was set to attend their graduation this past Thursday but was initially not allowed to participate because they were wearing a head scarf.
In an Instagram post shared by Tedgi, they explained that they were not allowed inside the ceremony until their name was called and had to watch their friends and fellow classmates walk across the stage from a live stream in a separate room.
Tedgi stated that they wore a keffiyeh, a traditional headdress worn by people from parts of the Middle East, and they said they were wearing to protect and manage their hair.
They stated that "I've worn this same headscarf to school and school events without any backlash. Headscarves are an integral part of my identity and a necessary tool for managing my hair type."
However, both the principal of the school and the activities director pulled them aside and told Tedgi that they needed to take off their headscarf if they wanted to participate in the ceremony.
The administration said that they believed that the scarf would cause a disruption.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
According to the student, school officials had told them that the colors on the scarf served as an indicator for a "political statement."
Tedgi stated that they would not remove the headscarf without an unjust reason so they were escorted out of the building.
Tedgi also said that this came from a new ban that was put into place by the school just a few weeks prior to graduation that was sent in a letter from the administration. NBC10 has not obtained this letter.
Event staff would not let them back into the building and Tedgi said that they felt they were being "treated as a threat."
Despite a 25 minute negotiation with the staff at the building's entrance, Tedgi and their mother were escorted to a conference room where both the activities director and the assistant to the superintendent allegedly pressured Tedgi to consent to a body search.
Tedgi said that they consented because they wanted to participate in the ceremony.
Tedgi was told to empty their pockets and said they were pat down and they were asked to lift up their pants to check the socks.
Tedgi explained that this was presumably so the administration officials could search for any weapons.
Tedgi continued to comply with the administration, but were given two options: Either comply with being escorted on and off the stage or have their diploma withheld.
The assistant superintendent told Tedgi not to make any hand gestures or salutes during the ceremony which Tedgi called a "disgusting insinuation," according to their Instagram post.
Soon after, Tedgi said that they were taken out of the room where local authorities then asked them and their mother for their names, phone numbers, dates of birth and addresses.
This is what Tedgi said led to them being held in a room under constant surveillance from local authorities and members of the Lower Merion High School administration.
"He kept pressuring me to force the cap over my afro, even though it absolutely did not fit," Tedgi stated in their Instagram post. "He said if I didn't put the cap on he would take me right back outside and I wouldn't be able to participate."
Tedgi said they had to hold the cap on their head and walk across stage and while being escorted by an officer and led to the outside of the building where they were given their diploma.
"I believe I was targeted for my pro-Palestinian views which were previously established by other "incidents" with the schools," Tedgi stated.
A spokesperson for the Lower Merion School District shared a statement with NBC10 in response to the allegations by Tedgi.
"High School graduation ceremonies are an opportunity for all seniors and their families to celebrate their academic achievements," Amy Buckman, the Director of School & Community Relations for the Lower Merion School District, wrote. "To ensure that all students and families felt safe and supported during the Lower Merion High School graduation ceremony, and to avoid disruptions or displays that would detract from the inclusive and celebratory nature of the event, students and families received clear guidance regarding acceptable apparel and accessories. Students wearing items that violated that guidance were given a choice of removing those items or participating."

Erie-based Erie Insurance continued to work June 11 to restore computer systems after reporting a network outage over the weekend.
But Erie Insurance isn't the only Pennsylvania Insurance company working to restore its computer systems.
Philadelphia Insurance Companies, which provides property/casualty and professional liability insurance, is reporting problems of its own.
The company's website, as of mid-morning on June 11, contained only the following message:
"We are currently experiencing a network outage impacting PHLY systems. This outage affects our phone and email systems, as well as customer access to online applications. We are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible and apologize for any inconvenience."
The company, which has about 2,000 employees, is smaller than Erie Insurance, which has about 6,700 employees in 12 states and Washington, D.C.
There is no indication that the two outages are in any way connected.
Meanwhile, Erie Insurance has been able to restore a number of services since the outage first took place.
As of June 10, the company reported that new claims could be reported to its First Notice of Loss team at 800-367-3743. Questions about policy or billing can be directed to 800-458-0811. The companies 13,000 agents can also be contacted.

PHILADELPHIA — There is no shortage of places to get a drink in Philadelphia.
From the ritzy Skyhigh atop the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at the Comcast Center to neighborhood haunts like Les & Doreen's Happy Tap, Philadelphia has the setting for just about anyone to sip (or shoot) an adult libation.
But one bar that opened in 2023 has been named one of America's top 15 bars by Esquire Magazine.
The list is focused on the best straightforward bars, the ones where "you can loosen up and be yourself and incinerate all that world-gone-mad stress before it incinerates you."
"We’re talking about a bar whose very existence says something about the community you happen to inhabit," the editorial staff at Esquire wrote about their top 15 bars.
Among these top bars is Philadelphia's Meetinghouse.
Located at 2331 E. Cumberland Street in the Olde Richmond neighborhood, Meethinghouse takes its name and its ethos from the Quakers: a place where friends gather without frills and froufrou.
Here's part of what writer Joshua David Stein said about Meetinghouse:
Like all things Quaker, such a place tends to be plain and soft-spoken (i.e., shtick-less). So it is at Meetinghouse, the bar. There are five beers, three of them—a pale one, a hoppy ale, and a dark lager—made by Tonewood Brewing in Barrington, New Jersey. (The other two are the Belgian Trappist ale Orval and Guinness, poured here perfectly.) The cocktails are nicely balanced, batched, and only eleven dollars.
Stein mentions the popular spot's menu briefly, but it deserves more attention.
While very limited, the dishes are executed extremely well. From the otherworldly waffles on the brunch menu to the steak frites offered on special during Saturday dinner service, Meetinghouse's bites are spectacular.
Meetinghouse boasts 4.7 stars based on nearly 200 reviews on Google.
"My boyfriend and I went for a more casual anniversary dinner after hearing about this place from friends who live locally and a TikTok we saw," one reviewer wrote. "And man, our expectations were high but they were blown out of the water."
"Casual pub atmosphere can't be beat," another said.
"Tasty food, great aesthetic, pints of Guinness don’t hurt either," one person said.
"This bar curates a good vibe," another person wrote. "The music is awesome. I Shazammed most of it. The closer you look the more cool, custom, design work you notice in the bar. The drink menu is perfectly rounded."
