Truly Attentive Care With a Personal Touch
When it comes to caregiving, small gestures often leave the biggest impact. For Melinda Herrera, it was clear from the start that our team at Always Best Care of San Antonio wasn’t just doing our job; we showed up with heart.
Describing our staff as “wonderful, friendly, and very attentive,” Melinda highlights what truly sets our care apart: a genuine connection to the people we serve. Whether it’s remembering a client’s favorite snack, greeting them with a smile, or simply listening with patience and kindness, our caregivers bring warmth and attentiveness to every visit.
Peace of Mind for a Long-Distance Family
When aging parents need extra support, being far from home can make every decision feel heavier. For Kristi Hudson and her sister, both living out of town, their mother’s changing medical needs meant they needed help they could trust. That’s where Pat, Wendy, and our Always Best Care team stepped in.
“They have a true servant’s heart, always caring for my mom as if it was their own mom,” Kristi shares. From helping with errands and doctor’s appointments to providing companionship and advocacy at the assisted care facility, Pat and Wendy were there anytime her mother needed assistance.
What stood out most was their unwavering reliability. “They always go over and beyond the call of duty, always keeping my mom’s needs #1.” When her mom was unexpectedly taken to the ER, we didn’t just show up, we stayed with her throughout the visit and hospital admission.
For Kristi and her sister, the result has been something every long-distance caregiver hopes for: peace of mind. “They are extremely communicative and I always feel informed of everything going on.” The steady flow of updates and care coordination made them feel not only included but reassured that their mom was in the most capable, compassionate hands.
“I honestly can’t say enough about what wonderful people they are… I would 100% recommend this service to anyone.”
Going Above and Beyond—Every Time
When someone you care about needs help, finding the proper support can feel overwhelming. For Katelyn McCarthy, reaching out to Always Best Care for a friend in need turned out to be the best decision she could have made.
“Pat, Wendy, & their team are the BEST!” she writes, emphasizing just how impactful our care was from the very beginning. Katelyn describes our team as “timely, attentive, and incredibly caring,” offering immediate reassurance during a moment of urgency. But what stood out most was our unwavering dedication to going further than expected.
“They went above and beyond to make sure the best care was provided,” she shares. Our team’s heartfelt commitment to each individual’s well-being is evident in every interaction. “They have a heart to care for those in need and it shines through everything they do!”
That kind of compassion doesn’t go unnoticed. For Katelyn, the experience was so exceptional that she didn’t hesitate to say: “I HIGHLY recommend using Always Best Care Senior Services! Best in town!”
