“Pat and Wendy have been caring for my mom for about 2 months now. I really can not say enough to express my appreciation for the services they have provided for my mom. My sister and I both live out of town and my dad passed away 6 years ago. Recently due to medical issues with my mom we have placed my mom in assisted care. We needed help with getting her to appointments and personal errands. They have been there ANY time she needs outside assistance. They have a true servants heart. Always caring for my mom as if it was their own mom. They communicate with her about her needs and concerns and address them with the appropriate person. Whether it is a doctor’s visit, the assisted care facility, the bank etc. They always go over and beyond the call of duty always keeping my moms needs #1. They are extremely communicative and I always feel informed of everything going on. Recently my mom had to go to the emergency room and they stayed with her while there and after being admitted to the hospital they have stayed with her at the hospital. They stay on top of all information from doctors and make sure everything is followed through with. I honestly can’t say enough about what wonderful people they are and the peace my sister and I have about her care. I would 100% recommend this service to anyone.”

“I was very pleased with them. I don’t have any family here so when they took me to the doctor, they would come in with me to see the doctor and communicate with my family.”
“They are always there and consistent.”
“I have interned for Wendy and Pat the past 2 summers. I have seen them interact with clients and their other employees and this business treats everyone like their family. They make coming to work a joy and I have been fortunate to learn so much about how to run a business from these two.”

Senior care services are for people who need ongoing assistance that cannot easily be provided by their family or friends. Studies show older adults prefer to live independent, non-institutionalized lives, and in-home care is a safe, effective way to provide care in the comfort of one’s own home.
The answer depends on the type of care, the location of care and the level of care that is needed. At Always Best Care, we provide a no obligation care consultation and provide information on many options for paying for home care for you and your loved one.
Our company vision is to work as a united team providing the best senior care in the world, with the broadest range of services, and the most loving and consistent care anywhere. We are dedicated to exceeding your expectations…always
Your Care Coordinator will work with you and your loved one to select the best qualified caregiver for each client. They will carefully review your care plan and try to match the right caregiver with the specific needs of each client. It is our goal and your right to make sure that you and your loved one are completely satisfied with our service and we will bend over backwards to make this happen.
Every Always Best Care location employs all their caregivers, so extensive background and reference checks are conducted. Caregivers are insured for your safety and they all receive extensive training upon being hired and on-going training to keep up with the demand of our industry. What this means for you is that you or your loved one will receive some of the best caregivers our industry has to offer.
The time frame to begin care for a senior will depend on the urgency of the need for the person and family that will be receiving care. That could mean care could start within hours, days or weeks, depending on your needs.
How people pay for senior care depends on their financial situation and the kinds of services they receive. Often, people must rely on a variety of payment sources, including personal funds, government programs, and private financing options.
Traditional Medicare does not pay for 24-hour-a-day care at your home, meals delivered to your home, homemaker services like shopping, cleaning, and laundry that aren’t related to your care plan, custodial, or personal care that helps you with daily living activities like bathing, dressing, or using the bathroom, when this is the only care that is needed.
Home-based care is part of the VA Medical Benefits. All veterans are eligible if they meet the clinical need and it is available.
