Home Care In Lakeview, NC

“Always Best Care of Raleigh has been a God send to our family, and has brought Mum back to her life and home. From assessment to companionship and living life together. I 100% recommend and endorse ABC, Sanjay Das and his entire team. They go above and beyond, and focus on the patients wellbeing and care. I cannot recommend them enough.”

“I have been very pleased with the caretakers Always Best Care has sent us. They are well trained and always put my husband's well being first. Lisa, the scheduler, is amazing. This company also spot checks by phone and in person to make sure things are running smoothly, which I think is incredible. I would not have known about this benefit if I had not seen it on camera. Always Best is the 4th home care company I tried and by far they are the best! My husband has Alzheimer's Disease and balance problems. I work away from home part time and he can't be left alone. Most importantly, he looks forward to the visits "with his new friend"”

“Working for ABC Has been a wonderful experience for me very loving caring and I also love the team. I love it.”

“Sanjay and the Always Best Care team have been amazing to work with. During a time of great uncertainty and worry, they assisted me with smoothly transitioning my mom back home with a care plan to suit our needs. I am forever grateful for their support and genuine care. For families in search of a caregiver for their loved ones, I cannot recommend Always Best Care enough. Thank you Sanjay and team!”

“When my loved one needed assistance after a hip replacement I was unsure of where to turn. There are so many options out there. I called several places and never got a good feeling about any of them. Of course, I wanted someone I could trust who would be there to care for her like I would. As soon as I spoke to Sanjay, his demeanor and understanding put me at ease. I knew that my family member would be well taken care of during this time. Everyone on staff at Always Best Care was knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and supportive. They were so great that when the care period was over, my loved one expressed how she was going to miss the staff because they genuinely care for their clients. Sanjay, thank you and your team for being there for us. I had peace of mind at 1300 miles away knowing she had excellent care. I highly recommend ABC! You can't go wrong!”

“Always best care has amazing caregivers as well as office staff. Sanjay is a pleasure to work with and the caregivers haven taken excellent care of my step mother. It is very hard to find good elder care like this. Highly recommend.”

“We were scared... Finding caretakers for my 94-year-old grandma was a daunting and emotional process. We wanted to ensure she was in the hands of people we could trust, and from the moment we met Sanjay, the owner and founder of Always Best Care, we knew we had found something special. Sanjay was kind, insightful, and passionate about providing the best care possible. Our initial meeting with Sanjay gave us the confidence to move forward, and Best Care always exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. They matched Grandma with the perfect caretakers—she genuinely looks forward to their visits! Now, I can rest easier knowing she receives the best care from people who treat her like family. Words can’t express how grateful we are for Always Best Care. If I could give more than five stars, I would!”

“I’ve known Sanjay and Always Best Care for many years! I worked directly with him and saw how he focused on nothing but his customers best in every single situation! Once I had a need in my own family, he was one of the first people I called. They delivered in a very stressful ALS situation; and made our lives easier. You should definitely contact Always Best Care. I assure you you get the best professional care possible.!!”

“Our parents were in a place in their lives where we needed to relocate them from their beloved small town mountain home to Raleigh to be closer to extended family and better medical facilities for their care. This situation was heart wrenching for us as well as utter confusion, not knowing where to begin the process. We had investigated several assisted living residences in the area, but it wasn't until we were introduced to Sanjay Das that we found some solice in our decision of where to place our parents. Sanjay knew the area extremely well and had valuable information about all the assisted living residences as well as care homes, nursing homes, home health care and such. He not only was kind enough to take multiple calls with endless questions, but met with us to discuss various options in person and for no fee. Sanjay also had knowledge of individual nursing businesses and beyond. He was caring, patient and professional and always encouraged us to contact him with any and all health care needs related to our parents care. We highly recommend anyone in our situation to contact Sanjay for advice. You won't be disappointed. To know someone who is extremely knowledgeable in this area of care for your loved ones is priceless. From the bottom of our hearts Sanjay, thank you!”

“Sanjay was an amazing friend during a very hard time for me and my father. He worked hard to find just the right place for my Dad and never gave up. I highly recommend Sanjay to anyone going through the difficult time of finding the right home for you or your family members.”

“My husband and I first met Sanjay at a Dementia Alliance support group several years ago in Raleigh. He was holding a Men’s Coffee Hangout, a unique gathering of caregivers and partners with dementia. Thanks to Sanjay the setup worked perfectly for us. We were impressed with Sanjay’s humorous and gentle approach to simply “hanging out” with the guys as we caregivers met. Years later we asked Sanjay to help us as a senior advisor when we began our search for a senior living facility. He set us on track, helped us make a chart of priorities and met us on our tours until we found one we liked. He continues today at our community with volunteering with a similar version of the Hangout. He has been an important part of our dementia journey. We feel fortunate to have him both as a supporter and a good friend.”

“We met Sanjay when our Dad's health took a quick turn for the worst. We felt his health care team was MIA and had no one to help us navigate this emotional and stressful time. Sanjay quickly answered our call, helped us create a plan and had his team ready to go during a holiday weekend. His aids were all wonderful and Sanjay was always there to answer our questions and concerns. Always Best Care helped us when no one else could. I've already recommended Sanjay and his team and would do so again without hesitation.”

“My mother has been bedridden for over three years now. Always Best Care has taken wonderful care of her in these years. The management has a real desire to give care that is consistent with how they'd want their own family attended to. I appreciate the training they provide to the caregivers and the quick response to any of our concerns. It's been a great partnership.”

“Always Best Care has been an excellent partner in assisting my mother with caring for my elderly father. They are amazingly responsive. I have a single point of contact number (for Melanie), and I get an almost immediate response from her irrespective of what day or time I call/text. I have reached out at 11pm or later; I have reached out on weekends; I have reached out during holidays. In each instance Melanie has responded either immediately or within 5 minutes. They work to build a partnership. I stopped by the office unannounced recently to discuss a coverage issue that had arisen over the holidays. A new caregiver called out twice. (I would like to note that the coverage issues that arose over the holidays were highly unusual and very much outside the norm for ABC.) Sanjay, Anthony, and Melanie took an unplanned 45 minutes to sit with me and discuss my concerns and to outline the plan they had been discussing that very day to ensure we had no further issues. I do not expect any organization to never have any difficulties. The scale by which I measure an organization is 1) Does the organization take ownership of the issue? and 2) Does the organization proactively work to address the issue? ABC scores high on both these vectors. I have recommended ABC both to a coworker and to a close friend. I will continue to recommend them.”

“Sanjay and his staff do amazing work. For your home care needs, give them a call and they will take care of you. Keep up the great work!”

“SanJay and his staff do a wonderful job explaining Senior Care. He was really helpful in Dementia information. He has a tremendous amount of resources to provide.”

“An excellent service, always responsive & provide very compassionate care. Sanjay takes a personal interest in finding the best fit for each client & I've always experienced him treating clients like family. I work for Heartland Hospice and when families I'm working with need a trusted caregiver for this fragile time of life, they have always been there - available to meet in person and start care extremely fast.”

“I am a current client of this provider He can't do without assistance so it has been great assistance. With that being said, there were some caregivers that were better than others.

They have been very consistent.”

“I am a past client of this provider I like how they just open the door and say hello to me. I have no complaints.”

“I am a current client of this provider I know that somebody is going to be there to help her with her shower.

Amy is very attentive to my mother. She ensures she does her exercises like she is supposed to a d even does then with her. The care they give has greatly reduced my stress.”

“I am a past client of this provider I had expectations of my parents, but they were not able to fill that. I still had to be involved in the care. The caregivers did not take all of my duties away I still had to provide part time care. They are personal to the people in their care. The owner gets to know the patients, and I know that he gives extra training for any extra needs. They meet regularly with me to make sure the care is appropriate. They cared about my parents.”

“I am a past client of this provider The best part was the conversations. I had very long conversations with both of them about a lot of things, and it was nice. It was a lot of fun actually. They were interested in me, and I could tell they really cared. We've had a long relationship with them, so we were familiar with them and felt comfortable with them. I've had nothing but good experiences with them. The people they sent were warm, friendly, and nice. Management was very competent and professional. They really do try to do the best for their people.”

“I am a current client of this provider I don't have to worry about her because they're taking care of her. I like their personal care and communication.”

“I am a past client of this provider They did little things that I couldn't do, like sweeping a floor. They offered excellent service. My only problem was that I didn't know that they were coming. That just got messed up from my doctor's office. I needed the help, I just didn't know they were coming.”

“I am a current client of this provider When my caregivers aren't here for a day, I have to do what they usually do, and then I truly miss my caregivers. However, they need to be more willing to take me different places. I think the company needs to spend more time training their caregivers how to cook.”

“I am a past client of this provider I could not have manged without the help. Just knowing that they were here helped. My husband was completely incapacitated. I could not have taken care of his needs. All of the aides were very compassionate and very helpful.”

“I am a current client of this provider They help me get groceries. They are efficient.”

“I am a past client of this provider The caregivers didn't really do a lot, but it was good that they were there. During nighttime, the caregivers weren't really checking on me. They were pretty much sitting in my apartment watching TV.”

“ABC are awesome people. They are just like their name... The best”

“Always Best Care Senior Services not only provides clients with personal care needs, but also with companionship. Our goal is to keep our clients safe and to give them the best care possible by meeting each clients needs specifically. I have recommended this company for new clients as well as for new caregivers.

ABC staff and caregivers really go above and beyond to provide assistance to their clients.”

“this company is fantastic, love the people and the hours and they felxability they have to your life schedule”

“I am a current client of this provider It's good because they do things for me that make my life easier. They are very responsive to my needs and concerns.”

“I am a current client of this provider The cost is an issue. Their flexibility scheduling caregivers is very helpful. They had intake classes when I first stated using them, and the amount of time that they spent explaining things to me and helping me with the resources was helpful. They also have an app that is helpful.”

“I am a past client of this provider They were easy to deal with in regards to administration and I didn't have to worry about the care for my mother. The management and the company was run well. The caregiver assigned to my mother was excellent.”

“I am a current client of this provider They give me some freedom to go out and do what I need to do. I have found that they make a lot of effort to match the caregiver to the client. They go the extra mile to make sure that everyone is happy.”

“I am a past client of this provider My mom really liked the lady that came in and she always stayed busy. The price was too high.”

“I am a past client of this provider They were extremely accommodating. If we had to change the schedule last-minute, it wasn't a big deal at all. They significantly lowered my stress level because they did things I would have had to do.”

“I am a current client of this provider I've liked the director's patience with my father and the encouragement of music in my father's treatment. My father can go on a schedule now that fits his needs and takes his time. He can have one-on-one attention, which wasn't the case in the facility.”

“I am a past client of this provider The daily living activities that they helped out with were very helpful to me. They freed me up to leave, do errands, and other things like that when they were here.”

“I am a past client of this provider They were on time and always polite. Having them around made my life much easier.”

“We called Sanjay to help us find an assisted living facility for our mom when her health took a sudden turn for the worse. His compassion and care for our parents in the past and actually for the whole family unit told us he would help us find the perfect place for her. Well he did - he sought out the perfect place which is amazing - Spring Arbor. Not only did he meet us at a couple of places on his time - he visited our mom at the rehab center she was at - again on his own time. He gives his all to the entire family unit and helps you through the entire process till the end. We will be forever grateful for his help and compassion throughout this stressful time in our lives. Knowing our mom is in such a warm loving environment as Spring Arbor gives us total peace of mind and for that we are eternally grateful!”

“I am a past client of this provider I wasn't there when they were with my dad, but they were really easy to work with and get set up. I needed them in a hurry and they were great to work with and make that happen. My dad actually had fallen and was taken to the emergency room twice in a day. They immediately were able to go over there and sit with him to make sure he didn't get up again. Stress for me fell to a zero knowing he was being watched over and cared for.”

“I am a past client of this provider Everyone at Always Best Care was very helpful and was always there. Always Best Care allowed me to not have to worry about my mother, and they took such great care of her.”

“I am a current client of this provider Always Best Care makes it so I don't need to worry. I work while my mother is here at home and the service makes it so I don't have to worry about her.”

“I am a past client of this provider Always Best Care was a very professional organization, I was treated fantastic, and they answered any and all questions that we had. The impact depended quite a lot on the caregiver that came to help my loved one.”

“I am a past client of this provider I got good service and I was pleased with my outcome from Always Best Care. The services made a lot of difference because I could very little for myself.”

“When we first started with Always Best Care, it was just to have somebody come visit mom once a week at assisted-living they care whatever needed to be done, going with her on errands and so on. They were great. Their support really became important, however, when mom fractured her pelvis. I texted Sanjay, the CEO and they were at the hospital with CMTs as soon as she got her room. That was important, because mom was not entirely aware that she had fractured her pelvis, would keep trying to get up, and the hospital had not yet resourced a sitter. They also provided in room sitter services for mom when she was in rehab, at a facility they helped us down-select to. Then, when she was released from rehab, they helped locate a micro-community that provided Mom with the extra support she needed, after discussing the issues we needed to work through via conference call when there was more than could be managed via txt or email. I live out of state, so we could not have done this without them. Sanjay and team really care about the patient, and were always available. They have my highest recommendation. -WRJ, Raleigh NC”

“During one's lifetime, there are usually just a handful of people that impact one's life in a profound way. Family and friends would be a safe bet that most would include in this category. However, who do you turn to when you only have one parent who can no longer take on life's challenges or remember life's blessings? My sister and I were fortunate enough to have our challenge with our father met by a group of strangers that flourished into what I would consider a blessing. My dad has early onset dimentia, and at only 63 years of age, he was (and still is) deteriorating at a quicker pace as times pushes forward. To describe our experience and to not write a well thought out review would not do these people justice. My name is Brandon Ficklin, and my family is truly grateful for the work done by everyone involved. They took the time to find the kind of person that would be best suited for someone like my dad. They met with my sister and I regularly, made us feel comfortable and confident within our own minds and hearts, and the caregiver that my dad came to know was (and still is) a person that anyone would be lucky to know. Her name is Frances, and she came to treat my dad in the best way possible. The whole team (Sanjay, Dawn, and Frances), during one of the most trying times in our lives, were all compassionate, honest, straight forward, endearing, and professional. Words can not adequately express the thanks and appreciation my sister and I feel. So, in closing, I would say that Sanjay, Dawn, and Frances have, collectively, impacted our lives in a profound way. Thank you all and much love.”
