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 Texas historic Landmark 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 Spring, 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 Dennis Johnston 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 Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar or visit The Historic Spring 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 Spring, 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 Spring, 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 Spring, 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.

The band's latest album, "Atonement", is out now via Metal Blade Records.
In other KILLSWITCH ENGAGE news, the band has teamed up with Revolver for a special collector's edition deluxe magazine that is "must own" for fans.
Revolver celebrates KILLSWITCH ENGAGE's 25th anniversary with this issue. In new, exclusive interviews, the band members tell the story of KILLSWITCH ENGAGE in their own words — from the group's humble beginnings to the dramatic lineup changes to their rise to the top of the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal movement.
This 100-page deluxe magazine is thicker than a standard issue of Revolver, without any ads, features embossed type, and UV coating on its covers, as well as rare, all-access photography throughout.
The KILLSWITCH ENGAGE special collector's issue comes with two alternate, collectible covers — a band cover with photography by Travis Shinn and an illustrated cover by the group's own bassist and resident visual artist Mike D'Antonio.
All of the below items will be available as a bundle or a la carte and all items are exclusive in honor of the band's impressive 25-year history.
* 2 special collector's edition covers* New vinyl re-pressings of: "Alive Or Just Breathing", "The End Of Heartache", "As Daylight Dies", "Incarnate", "Atonement" (each limited to 1K or less; wax colors to come)* LP boxset* 25th-anniversary tee* 25th- anniversary hoodie* 25th- anniversary slipmat* Exclusive skateboard deck with 25th-anniversary design* 18"x24" flocked, blacklight 25th- anniversary poster* Pint glass set with etched logos
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE first shook the structure of heavy music upon climbing out of snowy industrialized Western Massachusetts in 2000. A musical outlier, the band pioneered a union of thrashed-out European guitar pyrotechnics, East Coast hardcore spirit, on-stage hijinks, and enlightened lyricism that set the pace for what the turn-of-the-century deemed heavy. 2002's "Alive Or Just Breathing" became avowed as a definitive album, being named among "The Top 100 Greatest Metal Albums of the Decade" by Decibel and celebrated by everyone from Metal Hammer to Revolver. Not only did they bust open the floodgates for dozens to follow, but they also garnered three Grammy Award nominations in the category of "Best Metal Performance" in 2005, 2014, and 2019, respectively, a gold certification for "The End Of Heartache" (2004) and a platinum certification for "As Daylight Dies" (2006). The group landed three consecutive Top 10 debuts on the Billboard 200 with "Killswitch Engage" (2009),"Disarm The Descent" (2013) and their career high best bow at No. 6 with "Incarnate" (2016). The latter two releases, along with 2019's "Atonement", would also both capture No. 1 on the Top Rock Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts. The band's total streams are nearing 3 billion to date, while they've remained consummate road warriors who've sold out countless headline tours and have shared stages with everyone from IRON MAIDEN to SLIPKNOT to SLAYER to MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE to MASTODON to PARKWAY DRIVE, which is a testament to their ability to cross genres and appeal to all fans of hard rock. KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have remained a featured attraction at every major North American and European festival through the years. The band is celebrating an astonishing, 25-year career as one of the most vital and genre-defining bands of the '00s and continues its incredible legacy.

The Houston suburb of Spring, TX, continues to be a magnet for homebuyers seeking a vibrant community and easy access to the big city. But what does the future hold for the Spring housing market? The Spring, TX housing market has seen some shifts recently, with a slight decline in home prices and a longer time for homes to sell. However, it remains a relatively competitive market with some appealing features.
In this comprehensive guide, I'll delve into the current trends, explore the factors influencing the market, and provide insights into what you can expect in the coming months and years.
Based on Redfin data from October 2024, the number of homes sold in Spring saw a decrease compared to the previous year. There were 94 homes sold in October 2024, a 13% drop from the 108 homes sold in October 2023. This decline could be attributed to several factors, including rising interest rates that have impacted affordability, a slowing economy, and increased inventory in some segments of the housing market.
It's also important to note that the Spring housing market typically experiences seasonal fluctuations, and the sales figures for a specific month might not be a complete reflection of the overall market trend. That said, a continuous decline in the number of homes sold might signal a shift in buyer demand and a potential slowdown in the Spring real estate market.
While the number of home sales has decreased, the median sale price in Spring has remained relatively stable. The median sale price in October 2024 was $249,950, a slight 0.41% decrease from the previous year. This is a rather modest decline, especially when compared to the national averages.
The stability of home prices, even with the decline in sales, could indicate that the market is still relatively healthy. Strong demand in certain price ranges and the limited supply of homes for sale might be contributing factors to this stability.
While home prices haven't fallen dramatically, it's worth noting that the median sale price per square foot in Spring has increased by 2.9% year-over-year, reaching $141. This suggests that buyers are willing to pay a premium for homes with desirable features and locations, indicating that the market isn't entirely slowing down.
The Spring housing market has seen an increase in the average days on the market for homes. In October 2024, homes stayed on the market for an average of 56 days, an increase of 19 days compared to the same time last year. While 56 days is considered a relatively short timeframe, this longer time on the market reflects a shift from the more frenzied market conditions of the past few years.
It's also important to factor in the type of homes that are on the market. In some areas, we might see a larger number of more expensive properties lingering on the market, while lower-priced homes and homes in desirable neighborhoods might still move quickly.
In general, it's my opinion that the increased days on the market, combined with the relatively stable prices, indicates that the market is slowly transitioning from a seller's market to a more balanced one, where both buyers and sellers have more leverage.
Several factors are influencing the Spring, TX housing market trends:
Based on the current trends, it's fair to say that the Spring, TX housing market is transitioning from a seller's market towards a more balanced one. While it's still somewhat competitive, buyers have more negotiating power than they did in the past few years. Homes are staying on the market for longer, and we've seen a slight decline in sales and home prices in certain segments.
Buyers have an opportunity to explore a wider range of options and potentially negotiate better deals, especially when it comes to homes that have been on the market for a while. Sellers still have the advantage in certain segments, especially in highly desirable neighborhoods or for homes that are priced strategically.
While the median sale price has seen a slight dip, it's important to avoid the misconception that the market is experiencing a dramatic price drop. In my experience, the overall trend is one of stabilization, rather than a sharp decline.
The slight decrease in the median sale price for Spring, coupled with the increased days on the market, suggests that prices might not continue to escalate at the rapid pace they have over the past few years. However, there's no evidence to suggest that a significant price drop is imminent for the area.
It's more likely that the market will continue to level out and that price appreciation will be more moderate. The demand for housing in Spring continues to be strong, and factors like inventory and interest rates will likely continue to shape the overall direction of home prices.
Based on the current market trends and my knowledge of the Spring real estate scene, I believe that the Spring, TX housing market will likely remain relatively stable in 2024 and 2025. We can anticipate that:
Here's a table summarizing the key trends and forecast:
| Factor | Current Trend | Forecast 2024-2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Home Sales | Slight decrease compared to last year | Relatively stable, with moderate growth potential |
| Home Prices | Moderate decrease, stable median sale price | Moderate growth, potentially leveling out |
| Housing Supply | Increasing days on the market | Increased inventory in some segments |
| Interest Rates | Elevated compared to historical levels | Potentially remain elevated or increase slightly |
| Market Conditions | Transitioning from seller's to a more balanced | Somewhat competitive, with buyers having more leverage |
Important Note: These are my observations and expert opinions based on the available data. The real estate market is complex and can be influenced by various unpredictable factors. It's crucial to consult with a local real estate professional for personalized advice and the most up-to-date information on the Spring housing market.

The largest festival of Islamic Arts in America will attract visitors and artists from across the USA.
The Islamic Arts Society announced that the annual Islamic Arts Festival will be held on November 9th and 10th, 2024, at the University of Houston (Student Center South). The festival will feature artists from across the USA and is the largest and oldest festival of Islamic arts in the USA.
“This year, the 11th anniversary of the Islamic Arts Festival is set to be a unique celebration with the introduction of a film festival, comedy show, and a Sufi music entertainment program," announced Shaheen Rahman, President of the Islamic Arts Society. “This is a significant milestone for our society as we transition from our suburban location to the heart of the city at the University of Houston, a move that will amplify our reach and enable us to introduce Islamic art to a wider American audience.” Over the years, the festival has drawn visitors and artists from all corners of the United States, fostering connections and collaborations and sparking creativity. It's a platform for established artists to network, collaborate, and inspire, while also providing a space for emerging and student artists to showcase their talent.
Islamic Arts Society aims to share the rich heritage of Islamic Arts. The society organizes art events, lectures, and workshops to celebrate Islamic culture and promote the positive image of the Muslim community. Art is a common language and binds diverse communities. By promoting Islamic arts, we hope to promote mutual understanding and bring the broader American community together. Our main event is the Islamic Arts Festival which has been held annually since 2014 and even during COVID-19 when we took the festival online. The festival brings people of all ages, ethnicities, and faiths for two days of fun, festivity, and learning.
The 2024 festival will feature a captivating live performance by the Al-Firdaus Ensemble from Spain, and Preacher Moss will bring laughter with his stand-up comedy show. The event will also host a film festival, a spoken art program, and an academic seminar organized in collaboration with the University of Houston’s Kathrine G. McGovern College of The Arts. With over 5,000 pieces of art by more than 50 artists on display, visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy, appreciate, and purchase art. They can also engage in interactive art sessions, learn about Islamic art and culture, attend workshops, and savor ethnic food. Live demonstrations on calligraphy, henna tattoos, ebru, painting, and a variety of children's art activities will further enrich the festival experience.
