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 Hoyt-Barnum House 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 Stamford, CT is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I’ve booked back-up care for my two young children multiple times with ABC, and will continue to reach out to them first any time I have care needs. Not only was my caregiver great, but the service and care I got from Alan was above and beyond. He is so responsive, invested and attentive - feel like I’m working with a friend/family. They really care about their care recipients and make you feel like a VIP. The caregiver we were assigned was not only sweet and warm, but she wouldn’t sit still and made sure she was always doing something helpful. Couldn’t be happier with the company or caregiver, and will work with them anytime the need arises.”
“I booked Always Best Care through my Company's "Back Up Care" benefit. My Company's "Back Up Care" can be a little tricky to use and sometimes difficult to get the care properly confirmed. I reached out to Alan the day before my booking and he did a tremendous job at making sure that I had appropriate care for my 5 month old and that I wouldn't have to stress. Our actual caregiver, Chyna was great. She arrived on time, was knowledgable, respectful, and friendly. We had no worries leaving our 5 month old in her care. I'd book with Always Best Care again.”

Our family would recommend them in the highest order.”
“This is a 5 star company. Their name is perfect. Always Best Care. The care givers for my mom in her final months were gracious, considerate, compassionate and professional. I spoke with Alan many times telling him how thankful i was to have him and the outstanding service his company provided to my mother. My highest recommendation to Alan and his staff at Always Best Care.”
“I highly recommend Always Best Care. We needed someone to help mom get back on her feet again after hip surgery and to be her companion for three weeks during Covid quarantine as she moved from rehab center back to her senior living apartment. All services were provided with the highest level of kindness, compassion and dignity and we are truly grateful for the help.”

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 Scalzi 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 Capital Grille or visit South End Historic District, 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 Stamford, CT, 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 Stamford, CT 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 Stamford, CT 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.

STAMFORD — Charter Communications, the provider of Spectrum internet, cable and phone services, saw its customer numbers decline in several areas early this year, while one platform continued to grow.
The Stamford-based company ended the first quarter of this year with about 31.4 million customer relationships — marking a 2% year-over-year decrease, according to the earnings report released Friday. As part of that trend, Charter's customer totals dropped in its internet, cable and home-phone businesses. But the Spectrum Mobile service that is available to all internet customers keeps expanding. It added 514,000 lines in the first quarter and more than 2.1 million lines in the past year, for a total of about 10.4 million.
“We performed well in the first quarter,” Charter CEO and President Chris Winfrey said in an earnings call on Friday morning. “We continued to be the fastest-growing mobile provider in the U.S., with the fastest connectivity, at the best price.”
Charter’s revenues first-quarter totaled about $13.7 billion, up 0.4% year over year. The company’s first-quarter profit of about $1.2 billion compared with a bottom line of around $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2024.
Winfrey and Chief Financial Officer Jessica Fischer expressed optimism about the company’s ability to withstand the wave of tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. Charter operates entirely in the U.S., across a 41-state footprint, with about 115,000 customers in Connecticut.
“We don’t currently expect tariffs to have a significant impact on our capital expenditures for this year and over the next several years,” Fischer said. “We have attractive agreements with our equipment vendors, and we continue to work with them to minimize the impact of tariffs, while at the same time supporting the health of the cable-equipment ecosystem.”
Investors responded favorably to the first-quarter results. Charter’s shares were trading at about $370 at noon Friday, up 10% from their closing total on Thursday and up about 6% year to date.
Based on its 2023 revenues, Charter ranked No. 76 on last year’s Fortune 500 list of the largest U.S. corporations.
The company has about 1,800 employees based at its headquarters at 400 Washington Blvd., in downtown Stamford.
While the abundance of product options and service providers in the telecommunications industry has made customer growth challenging for Charter in recent years, executives express confidence about the company’s long-term prospects.
Among Charter’s most-important initiatives of the past couple of years is Xumo Stream Box, which combines live TV and streaming apps. It was launched in October 2023 through a joint venture with another telecommunications giant, Comcast.
As a device that plugs into most smart TVs, Xumo comes preloaded with more than 250 apps. The number of apps that customers can use with Xumo depends on their subscriptions. A Spectrum TV Select Plus subscriber, for instance, would get access to the Spectrum TV app, as well as the ad-supported AMC+, Max, Disney+, ESPN+, Paramount+, Peacock Premium, Vix and Tennis Channel+ apps. But a Select Plus customer would need to get separate subscriptions for other apps such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Netflix that are not part of that plan, which has a standard monthly rate of $125.
“As the market was shifting toward streaming, one of the things we had to do was make a very conscious strategic decision as to how are we going to transform how we sell our video products,” Danny Bowman, Charter’s executive vice president of product, said in an interview earlier this month at Charter’s headquarters in Stamford. “This is why we made a very specific investment with Comcast to create Xumo.”
By March 2024, the company had deployed more than 1 million Xumo devices. More recent data on Xumo usage was not immediately available.
“We have a lot of existing customers who are adding a Xumo box and keeping their set-top box,” Bowman said. “We have some customers who are handing in their set-top box and moving 100% to a Xumo experience … A lot of our new customers are taking that as their primary video experience.”
Among other promising signs for the cable business, Spectrum edged out Comcast’s Xfinity for the top score for overall customer satisfaction in J.D. Power’s 2024 study of U.S. television service providers.
“They’re doing a great job of producing products to make their services even more attractive and higher quality,” Carl Lepper, senior director of consumer-analytics firm J.D. Power’s TMT Intelligence group, which focuses on technology, media and telecommunications, said this week. “And their call centers are doing a great job.”
But the introduction of Xumo and the high marks for customer service have not yet reversed the ongoing decline in Charter’s cable customer base. Its approximately 12.7 million cable customers in the first quarter of this year was down 7% from a year ago, 15% from the first quarter of 2023 and 19% from the first quarter of 2022.
“Any new product that you bring to market and start to package, it takes a while to wear in,” Bowman said. “It’s just not going to happen overnight.”

STAMFORD — The biggest company in professional wrestling in the U.S. is joining forces with a couple of major industry players in Mexico.
Stamford-based WWE has announced that it is acquiring Mexican lucha libre promotion AAA, in partnership with another Mexican firm, sports-and-entertainment holding company Fillip.
WWE officials described the acquisition as one that would grow lucha libre’s already large audience. Lucha libre — which refers to freestyle wrestling or literally “free fight” — is one of Mexico’s most popular forms of entertainment, while it is also followed by many wrestling fans in the U.S.
“We have nothing but respect for lucha libre. Some of the greatest athletes in the world have come out of AAA, have come to WWE, have been seen all around the world,” WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque said in an announcement of the acquisition, on the WrestleMania 41 Saturday Countdown show in Las Vegas, joined by a number of AAA and Fillip officials and celebrated luchadores. “The impact of lucha libre, the cultural impact it has had, it resonates through generations. It cannot be overstated. It is incredible. We look to further that tradition.”
Highlighting the deal’s impact, WWE has also announced that a “Worlds Collide” show featuring WWE Superstars and AAA stars will be held June 7 at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.
WWE officials did not immediately announce any upcoming shows in Mexico, but the company has been putting on events in the country for more than 20 years. Last year, it held shows in Mexico City and Monterrey.
“This deal would seemingly supercharge existing expansion priorities and provide a canvas for evolving their wrestling brand, as well as greatly enhancing WWE parent company TKO’s media holdings,” Josh Shuart, director of sports management at Sacred Heart University’s Jack Welch College of Business & Technology, said on Monday. “It is important to separate out live events — one of WWE’s core revenue drivers — from merchandise and other goods that may be more impacted by tariffs. I wouldn’t disregard concerns altogether, but feel that potential negative financial impacts will be minimal.”
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The transaction is scheduled to close in the third quarter of this year.
A message left for WWE officials on Monday inquiring how many AAA employees would join WWE was not immediately returned.
AAA was founded in 1992 by Antonio Peña, and the Peña family “will continue to be involved in the next chapter of the AAA business alongside WWE and Fillip,” company officials said in a news release. “Some of the greatest talent in lucha libre history,” including Rey Mysterio, Penta and the late Eddie Guerrero have called AAA home during their careers, the release also noted.
“It’s something really important for us, and basically it’s the beginning of a new chapter in the story of lucha libre,” AAA General Manager Dorian Roldán Peña said during the WrestleMania Saturday Countdown show. “To be finally here, we told our talent, we told the luchadores, we feel really, really proud.”
Rey Mysterio and Penta were two of the lucha libre legends who were on set during the Saturday Countdown show. Colorful masks are a hallmark of lucha libre, and Mysterio and Penta wore their latest, extravagant face coverings.
Mysterio’s son, Dominik Mysterio, is also a WWE Superstar. On Sunday, during WrestleMania 41, the younger Mysterio won the intercontinental championship.
The annual WrestleMania is the biggest event on the WWE calendar. After its two-night run this past weekend at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, it will head to Caesars Superdome in New Orleans for its 2026 edition.
