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 La Villita Historic Village 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 San Antonio, TX 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 Brackenridge 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 SILO Elevated Cuisine - 1604 or visit Casa Navarro State Historic Site, 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 San Antonio, TX, 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 San Antonio, TX 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 San Antonio, TX 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.

SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — Gas prices in San Antonio are going down, but the Texas average price for regular is up week-over-week.
In the Alamo City, you are paying an average price of $2.75 per gallon, and this is a 13-cent drop from last week’s average price of $2.88.
But the same cannot be said across the Lone Star State, at least on average.
The statewide gas price average in Texas is $2.82 per gallon for regular unleaded fuel, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch. That price is seven cents more when compared to this day last week and is 22 cents less per gallon compared to this day last year.
“Gasoline prices are largely driven by the cost of crude oil,” said Daniel Armbruster, spokesperson for AAA Texas. “With current geopolitical events contributing to rising oil prices, drivers should be prepared for potential fluctuations at the pump in the coming weeks.”
Crude oil prices have increased by $9 per barrel over the past week, bringing West Texas Intermediate to its highest level since mid-January. Since crude oil is the primary ingredient in gasoline, rising oil prices often lead to higher retail gas prices. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran is contributing to uncertainty in global energy markets, which could continue to impact fuel costs. As the geopolitical situation remains fluid, it’s unclear how high—or for how long—oil and gas prices may remain elevated.
Of the major metropolitan areas surveyed in Texas, drivers in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex are paying the most on average at $2.96 per gallon while drivers in the Lubbock area are paying the least at $2.66 per gallon.
The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $3.20, which is seven cents more when compared to this day last week and 25 cents less per gallon when compared to this day last year.
Despite the recent rise in retail gas prices, today’s statewide average in Texas remains lower than this time last year. However, some metropolitan areas are experiencing sharp weekly increases, with prices climbing as much as 35 to 40 cents per gallon.

San Antonio, TX (June 19, 2025) – A vehicle crashed into the exterior of an H-E-B grocery store on San Antonio’s south side Thursday afternoon, prompting a response from emergency personnel. The incident occurred around 2:45 p.m. in the 700 block of Southwest Military Dr.
According to the San Antonio Fire Department, the vehicle made contact with the outside of the building but did not enter the store’s interior. EMS evaluated one of the vehicle’s occupants on-site for injuries.
The cause of the crash remains unknown, and officials have not provided further details regarding the driver’s condition or the circumstances that led to the vehicle striking the storefront. The scene was secured shortly after emergency crews assessed the situation and ensured the safety of those present.
We hope for a swift recovery for the individual being treated and are grateful that no additional injuries were reported.
Incidents involving vehicles striking commercial buildings, such as the H-E-B on SW Military Dr, raise important concerns about public safety and structural integrity. These types of crashes can occur for various reasons, including driver error, mechanical failure, or medical emergencies. While this particular event did not result in a breach of the building or multiple injuries, it underscores the potential dangers posed by even low-speed impacts in populated areas.
Across Texas, vehicle-into-building crashes are more common than many realize. According to national safety data, thousands of such incidents happen annually in the U.S., with retail locations, restaurants, and convenience stores among the most frequently affected sites. South Texas urban zones like San Antonio see their share of these collisions due to the close proximity of parking lots to storefronts and high vehicle turnover.
For businesses and property owners, the risk of storefront crashes highlights the importance of protective infrastructure like bollards or reinforced barriers. These features can mitigate property damage and protect pedestrians or patrons from harm. Meanwhile, drivers should remain cautious in parking areas and avoid distractions that can lead to sudden acceleration or misjudgments.
In cases where injuries occur, even in seemingly minor storefront accidents, victims may be entitled to compensation for medical costs and other damages. Legal recourse can depend on several factors including vehicle malfunction, negligent driving, or unsafe premises layout.
If you or someone you know has been injured in a crash, reach out to Local Accident Reports for assistance.

Texas Teams on the Rise
In the ever-evolving landscape of the NBA, the Texas teams are poised for a thrilling season, with each franchise making significant strides toward reclaiming their place among the league’s elite. The Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, and Dallas Mavericks are all in various stages of revitalization, setting the stage for an intense rivalry that could reshape the dynamics of the Western Conference.
Houston Rockets: Building Momentum
The Houston Rockets have embarked on a transformative journey over the past few seasons, strategically navigating their rebuild to emerge as a formidable contender. With a roster brimming with athleticism and defensive prowess, the Rockets are not just aiming to compete but to assert their dominance within the state.
Key players like Amen Thompson and Alperen Sengun are starting to capture national attention, showcasing their potential as cornerstones for the franchise. Meanwhile, the development of talents such as Jalen Green and Reed Sheppard remains crucial as the team seeks to harness their full capabilities. The Rockets’ depth and versatility position them as a team that can challenge any opponent, including their fellow Texas rivals.
Adding further intrigue to their future, whispers of a potential acquisition of Kevin Durant could elevate Houston’s championship aspirations. With a roster that has already secured over 50 wins, the Rockets are confident in their ability to outpace the Spurs and Mavericks, at least for now.
San Antonio Spurs: A New Era with Wembanyama
On the other side of Texas, the San Antonio Spurs are on the brink of a renaissance, largely thanks to the remarkable talent of Victor Wembanyama. The young French phenom has quickly become the focal point of the franchise, bringing hope and excitement to a fanbase eager for a return to glory. His unique skill set and towering presence on the court could very well redefine the Spurs’ identity.
Joining Wembanyama is De’Aaron Fox, a Texas native striving to carve out his legacy with more significant postseason moments. The Spurs have complemented their young core with a mix of promising talents and seasoned veterans, creating a balanced roster that is ready to compete. With the potential addition of another top draft pick, San Antonio is not just looking to improve; they are laying the groundwork for sustained success.
Dallas Mavericks: A Competitive Edge?
Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks are navigating their own unique challenges. After a deep playoff run, the team has reloaded, anchored by the dynamic duo of Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving. Both players possess the talent to lead a championship-caliber team, yet their health remains a significant concern. Irving’s recovery from a late-season injury means the Mavericks will start the season without one of their stars, while Davis has worked to shake off his injury-prone reputation.
Despite these challenges, the Mavericks have avoided a full rebuild, maintaining a competitive edge while reconfiguring their roster. The synergy between Davis and Irving, once fully operational, could propel Dallas back into contention, but the team must also address lingering gaps to maximize their potential.
The Road Ahead: A Thrilling Texas Rivalry
As the new season approaches, the rivalry among these three Texas teams is set to intensify. Each franchise has its unique strengths and challenges, with the Rockets currently holding the upper hand. However, the Spurs are well-positioned to make a significant leap, while the Mavericks possess the star power necessary to disrupt the status quo.
The dynamics within the state could shift dramatically as the teams clash throughout the season. With a blend of youth, talent, and ambition, Texas basketball is on the cusp of an exciting chapter, one that promises to engage fans and redefine the competitive landscape of the NBA. As these teams strive for supremacy, the journey ahead will undoubtedly be filled with thrilling moments and fierce rivalries, reminding everyone of the rich tapestry of basketball in Texas.
