Out on Caddo Lake, Keith Carter faced challenges hiring caregivers for his aging father. Keith had promised his dad that he would never place him in a nursing home and that he would retire at the lake house. His father needed caregivers to assist with activities of daily living, such as bathing, grooming, food preparation, and mobility assistance. After searching in Northwest Louisiana, Keith found a franchise that met all their requirements: Always Best Care. He worked closely with the nurse owners and eventually purchased the local franchise office in 2015.
Always Best Care Senior Services, a national franchise based in Roseville, California, boasts over 180 franchises across the United States. In Louisiana, there are offices in Monroe and Baton Rouge. The Northwest Louisiana franchise office, located in Shreveport at 4700 Line Ave, is locally owned by Keith. It is managed by a staff of eight office personnel and over 90 caregivers serving all of Northwest Louisiana. ABC Shreveport is licensed and bonded by the Louisiana Department of Health and carries comprehensive protection plans, including workers’ compensation and general liability insurance. All caregivers undergo thorough screening processes, including reference checks, drug tests, background checks, and driver’s license verifications. Employees also receive approximately 20 hours of in-house training and wear recognizable royal blue scrubs.
The caregivers and CNAs at Always Best Care provide complete in-home care services, including light housekeeping, transportation, companion care, and assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and food preparation. They are prepared to meet any need in various settings, including homes, hospitals, rehab centers, and assisted living facilities. The Always Best Care team conducts in-depth intake and needs evaluations with patients and their families, offering flexible scheduling from four to 24 hours a day. ABC is dedicated to providing comprehensive solutions that allow seniors to age in place and improve their quality of life daily.
In 2019, Always Best Care Senior Services was awarded the exclusive contract to provide In-Home Care and Respite Care to the Caddo and Bossier Councils on Aging. Since 2016, ABC has also provided in-home care to veterans through a regional contract with the VA Medical Center in Shreveport.
Keith and his team at Always Best Care have experienced consistent growth and recognition. In 2016, they were awarded the Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year. In 2017, they received the Better Business Bureau Outstanding Customer Service Award. In 2018, Keith’s franchise earned the Sapphire Award from Always Best Care. Always Best Care Senior Services of Northwest Louisiana is A+ rated with the BBB and is certified by the National Association of Home Care. In 2019, the national office recognized them for achieving the Largest Percentage Increase of any franchise in the United States.
During the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic, Keith and his team worked tirelessly to provide safe in-home care to their patients. “We stayed fully operational as an essential business because that is what we do: provide care to our patients,” Keith said. Helping families in similar situations to his own has been a rewarding experience for him. He particularly cherishes the notes from families expressing gratitude for helping them keep their loved ones in the family home.
