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 Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park 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 Atlanta, GA 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 Grant 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 Aria or visit Swan House at Atlanta History Center, 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 Atlanta, GA, 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 Atlanta, GA 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 Atlanta, GA 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.

Our thoughts are with those affected by the accident, and we hope for their swift recovery.
Accidents like the one at Martin Luther King Jr. Dr NW and Joseph E Lowery Blvd NW remind drivers of the risks associated with driving in busy urban areas. Ashview Heights, a dense neighborhood in Atlanta, is prone to traffic congestion, particularly during early morning hours. Intersections like the one at MLK Jr Dr and Joseph E Lowery Blvd, which sees a mix of local traffic, residents, and commuters, can be hazardous when drivers fail to remain alert or adjust to traffic conditions.
In Georgia, high-traffic areas and busy intersections are often locations where accidents occur due to a variety of factors, including speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield. The situation is exacerbated in areas with poor visibility or sudden changes in traffic flow, which can lead to collisions. As seen in this incident, drivers must maintain a safe distance, obey traffic signals, and drive cautiously to reduce the likelihood of such accidents.
While local authorities continue to improve road safety through initiatives like better signage, traffic signals, and infrastructure improvements, accidents involving injuries remain a concern in areas like Ashview Heights. Drivers are reminded to exercise caution and be mindful of their surroundings, especially when navigating busy city streets and intersections.
As investigations into this crash continue, authorities will provide updates as new information becomes available. In the meantime, residents and drivers in the Ashview Heights area are encouraged to drive carefully and responsibly, particularly at intersections with high traffic volumes.
Our thoughts remain with those injured in this accident, and we wish them a full and speedy recovery. Local law enforcement will continue to provide updates on the progress of the investigation.

Atlanta, GA (December 09, 2024) – A vehicle collision with injuries occurred early Sunday morning at approximately 1:58 a.m. at the intersection of North Ave NW and I-75 S in Downtown Atlanta. Emergency responders, including firefighters and paramedics, quickly arrived at the scene following a 911 call reporting the crash.

At this time, the cause of the crash remains under investigation by local authorities. Initial reports suggest that the collision occurred at a busy intersection, with heavy traffic on I-75 S contributing to the potential hazards.

Our thoughts are with those involved in the accident, and we hope for their swift recovery.
Accidents like the one at North Ave NW and I-75 S serve as a reminder of the dangers posed by busy intersections and highways in Georgia. I-75, one of the major highways running through Atlanta, experiences high volumes of traffic, particularly late at night and early in the morning. The combination of heavy traffic and complex intersections can lead to dangerous collisions, especially when drivers fail to follow traffic laws and speed or are distracted.
Downtown Atlanta, with its dense network of streets and constant flow of traffic, is particularly vulnerable to crashes. This incident highlights the importance of staying vigilant, following posted speed limits, and being cautious when navigating through high-traffic areas and complex interchanges.
Despite ongoing efforts to improve road safety, including better signage, traffic management, and law enforcement presence, accidents remain a concern in these busy areas. Drivers are encouraged to stay focused and adjust their driving behavior based on road conditions and traffic flow, particularly in high-traffic intersections like North Ave NW and I-75 S.
As investigations continue into the cause of the collision, local authorities will provide updates as more details become available. In the meantime, drivers are reminded to exercise caution when traveling through major intersections and highways in Downtown Atlanta.

ATLANTA - The Dawgs came out on top after being pushed into the first ever SEC Championship overtime since the game began in 1992.
The No. 7 Georgia Bulldogs beat the No. 2 Texas Longhorns 22-19.
Nearly 75,000 fans filled the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday to watch the nail-biting game.
Georgia's offense started off slow, allowing Texas kicker Bert Auburn to score field goal after field goal.
Just before halftime, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck was knocked out of the game after taking a nasty hit to his throwing hand. The future for the Bulldogs seemed bleak without their star player, but redshirt sophomore Gunner Stockton more than proved he's got that Dawg in 'em.
"This kid is a winner," Smart said about his backup. "This kid is special."

Stockton stepped in for Beck, aiding Trevor Etienne to the team's first touchdown in the third quarter. Even with two field goals from Peyton Woodring and Etienne's touchdown, the team unsuccessfully fought their way to keep their lead in the fourth quarter. Texas WR DeAndre Moore Jr. tied the game just in time for the first overtime in the SEC Championship's 33-year history.
During overtime, the Longhorns got the ball first and settled on a field goal. That's when the Dawgs really locked in. Beck, who came back in the game for first-and-goal at the 4, handed the ball to Etienne who scored the final touchdown of the game, punching Georgia's ticket as the 2024 champions.
Both teams have seemingly secured their spots in the College Football Playoff based on how they ranked during the regular season. We'll find out for sure during the CFP Selection show at noon Sunday on ESPN.
This was the Bulldogs (11-2) third SEC title under Coach Kirby Smart. Their latest trophy came with another prize. The Georgia Bulldogs earned a spot in the Sugar Bowl quarterfinal game on New Year’s Day.
"This team never, ever says no," a jubilant Smart said while confetti fell at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Meanwhile, Texas was denied an SEC title capper on its first season in the league and will host a first-round game on either Dec. 20 or 21. Both of the team's regular-season losses have been to the Bulldogs.
Texas: The Longhorns will surely host a first-round game, but now will have to win four games to capture a national championship.
Georgia: Smart says he plans to celebrate for maybe 48 hours — instead of his customary 24-hour rule — because the Bulldogs don’t play again for nearly four weeks.

ATLANTA - The Texas Longhorns have fallen short in their first SEC Championship Game appearance.
After a hard-fought game in which they seemed to dominate much of the contest, the Longhorns could not hold on in the second half, falling 22-19 to the Bulldogs.
Things started off well for the Longhorns, who largely controlled the first half of the game, and took a 6-3 lead into the locker room.
However, perhaps the biggest play of the game occurred at the end of the half, with Georgia quarterback Carson Beck being knocked out of the game with an undisclosed upper-body injury.
Beck was eventually replaced by Gunner Stockton, who gave the Georgia offense life.
In the second half, the Bulldogs came right out of the gate behind Stockton to take the lead with a touchdown drive.
The Longhorns were unable to respond, with Bert Auburn missing his second field goal of the game, leaving the score at 13-6 in favor of the Bulldogs.
Texas did eventually get back on the board, however, with Ewers hitting DeAndre Moore for a long touchdown tying the game in the fourth quarter.
Late in the second half the Bulldogs took the lead back on a field goal with less than five minutes to go, giving them a 16-13 lead, and leaving it up to the Longhorns' offense to save the day.
However, Ewers was picked on the next drive, giving the ball to Georgia deep in Texas territory.
But just when it seemed like all hope was lost, the Texas defense rose up, with Jahdae Barron intercepting Stockton, giving the Longhorns life with 2:30 to go.
Texas was able to get some points off of the field goal, with Auburn knocking it through from 37 yards out and tying the game at 16-16 with 18 seconds to go, forcing overtime.
In the first overtime period, Texas was unable to get in the end zone, settling for the field goal and giving Georgia a chance to win it on their next possession.
Georgia would go on to do just that, with Etienne rushing it in for a touchdown.
Ewers played a heck of a game for the Longhorns, completing 27 of 46 passes for 358 yards and one touchdown with two picks. The biggest recipient of Ewers' play was wide receiver Matthew Golden, who caught eight passes for 162 yards.
As a unit, the Horns amassed 389 yards of total offense, though they managed just 31 on the ground.
With the loss, the Longhorns are likely set to host a home game in the College Football Playoff.
That game will be played either December 20 or 21 at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin.
