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 The Logan Mansion 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 Shreveport, LA 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 A C Steere 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 The Vintage or visit Spring Street Historical Museum, 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 Shreveport, LA, 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 Shreveport, LA 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 Shreveport, LA 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.

That will happen, she says, when CC's grows beyond its current three stores to the "five to six, right off the bat" that she would like to see.
"It's a high focus market for us right now. One, because we love it, two, because we have a presence there right now, a very small presence, yes, but we love the northwest Louisiana area and really want to build it out."
Parker says they are on the hunt for their next franchise partner for Shreveport-Bossier.
CC's is owned by the same family that owns the Louisiana brand Community Coffee, but it is an arm's length arrangement. The two are separate entities and business models. Although Community Coffee blends are served CC's, they are higher end roasts that not available in the Community Coffee roster of grocery store offerings.
Parker said the company's Louisiana roots come through in everything it does.
"We really focus on who we are at the core, and that's serving everyone better than anyone else, with our quality products and our consistency with service to our guests," she said. "So that's really what we focus on, is that neighborhood feel and serving our quality products."
There are currently 40 CCs locations in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.
Other chains, like Scooters, which at 37 is seven years older than CC's, has 850 locations in 30 states. Eight-year-old north Arkansas-based 7 Brew lists more than 400 locations.
Parker said ideas have changed within the CC's organization.
"We went strategically to the franchising path just this year. Actually, at the beginning of 2025 we had been licensing before, but now we're franchising, and it's more so we could find those multi-unit operators that could help us grow throughout the state of Louisiana and to our neighboring states as well," Parker said.
The most popular CC's remain the traditional end cap spaces shopping center places that include a drive through but have indoor seating for coffee, meetings or study, Parker said.
In Shreveport-Bossier, two of the three CC's in Shreveport-Bossier are housed in Brookshire Grocery Stores on Airline Drive and Norris Ferry Road. The third is a standalone at 9488 Ellerbe Road.
Parker calls it the "E-22." The Espresso No. 22 is an iced espresso with cream, sweetened with pure cane sugar.
The proprietary Mochasippi frozen coffee treat, their number one seller, is an espresso drink blended with their Mochasippi Mix and a choice of flavors and whipped cream.
She said something interesting she is seeing is that more and more customers are deciding not to add energy boosts to drinks.

LEWISTON, Idaho – Jackson Syring and Ian Montz hit back-to-back solo home runs in the sixth inning and LSU Shreveport (La.) completed the first undefeated season in collegiate baseball history (59-0), beating Southeastern (Fla.), 13-7, to win the 2025 NAIA Baseball National Championship at the Avista NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho.
It’s the first national championship in any sport for the Pilots, wrapping up the most historic season ever by a college baseball team.
The win was anything but easy, as Southeastern scored two runs in the first and two more in the second, on a double by James Strom and a Charlie Collins triple. Through two innings, Collins was 2-for-2 with two RBIs and a run scored, jumping out to an early 4-0 lead. He finished 2-for-5, and the Fire also had two hits from Alfonso Villalobos and Nick Streuer.
LSUS didn’t wait to cut the Fire lead to a single run, as Jose Sallorin drove in Montz and Syring, and Anthony Swenda came home on a wild pitch. In the next inning, the Pilots tied it and took the lead on bases-loaded walks by Diego Aragon and Ryan Davenport.
Southeastern regained the lead in the fourth with two runs, and in the fifth, Streuer singled to score Hicks, extending the SEU lead to 7-5.
In the bottom of fifth, the Pilots cut the deficit to one, as Aragon led off with a triple to center field. A ground-ball to the right side scored Cooper Huspen, who ran for Aragon, and LSUS was down 7-6.
LSUS took the lead an inning later, and after the homers by Syring and Montz, Davenport and Austin Gomm collected RBIs, stretching the Pilot lead to 10-7.
An insurance run came home for the Pilots in the seventh and they added two in the eighth, as Syring, Sallorin and Gibson finished with two hits each, while Sallorin and Davenport each had three RBIs.
Pitching decisions went to both bullpens, as Kenneth Schlechter picked up the win for LSUS, improving to 4-0, while the Southeastern loss went to Bryce McDonald.
At the conclusion of the game, members of the media and tournament committee named the 2025 Avista NAIA World Series All-Tournament Team.

LEWISTON, Idaho – LSU Shreveport (La.) broke the all-time, all-associations collegiate baseball record for consecutive wins, Thursday, beating Hope International (Calif.), 14-4, in the semifinal round of the 2025 Avista NAIA World Series.
The Pilots are now in sole-possession of an all-time best 58-game winning streak, surpassing 57 from Howard (Texas, two-year), and at 58-0, LSUS is one win away from the 2025 NAIA Baseball Red Banner.
Ryan Davenport and Josh Gibson had three hits each at the top of the order, and Davenport drove in four. Ian Montz had three RBIs and scored three runs, and Cobe Reeves got the win, striking out nine. Trotter Boston, Kyle Harvey, and David Shackleford each had two hits, for Hope International.
Jose Sallorin brought home a pair of second-inning runs with a single to get LSUS on the scoreboard, but in the bottom half of the inning, Hope International loaded the bases, and Colby Moran walked, scoring Harvey.
LSUS was able to cushion its lead in the third when Gibson doubled to the gap in left for LSUS, coming home on a Montz single that also scored Austin Gomm.
Later in the inning, Diego Aragon drew a full-count, bases-loaded walk, stretching the lead to 5-1. Two more came across when Davenport singled to left field.
Hope International put two men on in the fourth, but Reeves buckled down after Boston moved in to scoring position, striking out Mario Tostado and Amari Bartee to stop the Royals.
Boston led off the bottom of the sixth for Hope International, singling on the infield and moving to second on a throwing error. Boston moved to third on a ground-ball out and scored on Bartee’s single through the middle, trimming the lead to 7-2.
The bases were loaded later in the sixth, and Harvey singled in two runs to make it 7-4. The Pilots answered the inning with Aragon’s two-run single, and Davenport added two more, his third and fourth RBIs of the day, with a single. LSU Shreveport added another run in the eighth and two more in the ninth to go in front 14-4.
LSU Shreveport will meet Southeastern (Fla.) Friday for a national championship. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m., PT, on the NAIA Network and Urban Edge Network at www.naia.org/watch.

LEWISTON, Idaho – LSU Shreveport (La.) tied a 16-year-old collegiate baseball record for consecutive wins Wednesday night at the Avista NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho, beating Southeastern (Fla.), 10-0, in seven innings to advance to Thursday night’s semifinal round.
Already 10 past the four-year record for consecutive wins, the Pilots have now tied the all-time best win total across all divisions of collegiate baseball. In 2009, Howard (Texas), a two-year program, won 57 consecutive until a loss on May 13, 2009, to Temple (Texas).
The win put the Pilots (57-0) two wins away from the 2025 NAIA Baseball Red Banner.
Isaac Rohde’s complete-game, four-hit shutout was his second win in the 2025 Series, now 16-0 on the year, striking out 10. Ryan Davenport (2-for-3), Vantrell Reed (2-for-3), and Jose Sallorin (2-for-2) had multi-hit games for the Pilots, and Sallorin drove in three.
LSU Shreveport set an early tone for the game with five runs in the first inning, beginning with a pair of doubles – from Davenport and Josh Gibson – and Jackson Syring added a single to score Gibson. Two more runs came home on an Ian Montz groundout and Sallorin’s single, a two-run hit to make it 5-0.
Anthony Swenda homered on the first pitch of the bottom of the fourth to the opposite field in right to push the Pilots in front 6-0, and with two on in scoring position, Austin Gomm lifted a sacrifice fly, followed by a run-scoring single by Reed.
Up 8-0, the Pilots scored two more in the fifth and the lead swelled to 10. LSUS held Southeastern to one hit until the sixth inning, when the Fire put runners at the corners with two outs, but Rohde was able to stop the threat, drawing a pop fly off the bat of Connor Hicks to end the inning.

LEWISTON, Idaho – The Memorial Day finale at Harris Field in Lewiston lived up to every bit of its billing, Monday night, as LSU Shreveport (La.) continued its historic run, at 56-0, beating defending national champion Hope International (Calif.), 6-3, in the top side of the bracket at the 2025 Avista NAIA World Series.
Draven Zeigler moved to 13-0 on the mound for LSUS, tossing the first seven innings and striking out 10. Ian Montz was an offensive catalyst for the Pilots, going 3-for-5 with a pair of RBIs in the ninth inning that added insurance to the win.
Brock Lucas entered to start the eighth, pitching that inning and the ninth to pick up his fourth save of the season.
The loss ended a nine-game winning streak for Hope International at Harris Field, falling to 47-9, getting a 2-for-3 outing from Branden Chun-Ming, as well as two RBIs by Trotter Boston, who put Hope International on the board in the bottom of the second. The ball hopped over the first baseman into right field, scoring Chun-Ming and Matthew Pinal, but LSUS answered immediately, scoring runs on three consecutive doubles by Diego Aragon, Josh Gibson and Vantrel Reed.
Gibson was 2-for-5 with two runs and an RBI.
The next inning, for LSUS, Jose Sallorin laced a one-out double down the line in right and came home a batter later, on Aragon’s second hit. Julian Francois, the Hope International second baseman, got leather on the ball but couldn’t make the catch, and the ball trickled into right field to give the Pilots a 3-2 lead.
Hope International scored again with Boston at the plate, grounding to second, but Chun-Ming advancing caused traffic for the second baseman. The ball got away, scoring Francois.
In the sixth, LSUS took advantage of a leadoff triple by Montz that banged off the wall in right, and Montz went the remaining 90 feet on a sacrifice bunt and RBI by Aragon, returning the lead to the Pilots, 4-3. Aragon had two RBIs in the game, going 2-for-3.
The lead stuck, and LSU Shreveport moved to Wednesday, at 6:30 p.m. PT, meeting the winner between Georgia Gwinnett and Southeastern (Fla.). Hope International falls to 3 p.m. PT, Tuesday, an elimination game against Cumberlands (Ky.), and both air on the NAIA Network and Urban Edge Network at www.naia.org/watch.
