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.
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 Phoenix, AZ is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

She first helped our family arrange in-home care for my mother, and when the time came to transition her into an assisted living community, she was there every step of the way. Her knowledge, compassion, and genuine concern made what could have been an overwhelming process so much easier for our family. Our caregiver, Beverly, has become like family. She truly cares about my mother and spends four hours with her twice a week, taking her to doctor's appointments, helping her get her hair and nails done, and, most importantly, providing wonderful companionship. Beverly's kindness and support were especially meaningful during my mother's transition into assisted living, helping her feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone. If you're looking for someone to help care for a loved one, I wholeheartedly recommend Jann�, Beverly, and the entire Always Best Care team.

I’m truly grateful and highly recommend them to anyone needing help with senior care decisions.”

From the very beginning, Janne and her incredible team of caregivers stepped in with compassion and expertise, guiding us through my mom’s rehabilitation journey. Thanks to their attentive support, my mom has grown stronger each day, and I truly believe her remarkable progress is a direct result of the exceptional care she received from ABC.”

“The owner Janne and Rhonda our care coordinator are both amazing. They take the time to really listen to our needs and provide the best services possible.

“We used ABC for the better part of a year and we had great caregivers. Our sister was always treated with love & respect.I wouldn’t hesitate to use ABC for your loved one. We got especially attached to Cindy who was sent down from heaven!”
“It is never easy dealing with aging parents and their increasing needs and health challenges. Always Best Care has been there for us over the last 4 years to step in as needed to assist my parents as challenges arose. Initially, we hired them to assist my parents in their home after my mom suffered a terrible fall resulting in weeks of being wheelchair bound and unable to care for herself, her home, and my blind father. The team took the time to get to know my parents and their special needs, and were a great help to us during that time. Recently my dad suffered a debilitating stroke that led to him requiring a high level of care and assistance. The task of finding assisted living for him was daunting to say the least. The right placement for his particular needs and circumstances was our biggest concern, and we had no idea where to start. Always Best Care was again the answer to our prayers! They set up tours of assisted living facilities that they had already vetted, with our particular situation in mind, and connected us with the home that was the perfect fit for him. We are so grateful for their assistance through this process. Our family would highly recommend Always Best Care to care for your aging loved ones.”
“Always Best Care took care of my brother so we could bring him home to be safe and secure in his home which was his wish.”
“Always Best Care took care of my brother so we could bring him home to be safe and secure in his home which was his wish.”
“ABC Senior Services came to us via a referral from an acquaintance. We had been working with another agency as well. ABC was able to find a place nearer to our home, and at a better price. The place she recommended has a kind and caring provider, and it seems like a good fit for my mom. I SO appreciate what they did for my family, especially since we had very little time to make this transition.”
“ABC was very quick to respond to a request for in home care for a close friend of mine after her hospital stay. I was amazed at how quickly they set up care for her with a wonderful, skilled caregiver who communicated well with my friend and myself as her emergency contact. The quality of care was top notch and I would highly recommend Always Best Care.”
“My mom's in-home senior care-aide is fantastic. She is a kind, patient, caring and friendly woman who makes mom's day. Janne made the transition simple and painless. Having used one other care agency in the past, ABC is WAY better and clearly lives up to its name .. Always Best Care!”
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.
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. 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 Phoenix, AZ, 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 Phoenix, AZ 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.
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 Phoenix, AZ 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.

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Firefighters contained a large fire that engulfed a mountain of tires outside of a west Phoenix auto shop early Thursday morning.
Around 5 a.m., Phoenix firefighters were called out to the fire at Corona Wheel & Tires Auto Service, located near 75th Avenue and Indian School Road. The call was upgraded to a first alarm response due to the fire’s size and exposure risk, with more resources and crews requested to contain the flames.
Firefighters arrived to find a large exterior tire fire with multiple businesses as exposures. Crews were able to knock the fire down, preventing fire extension into the structures. Firefighters have obtained fire control and are working on hot spots. pic.twitter.com/aEm6YvaJKc
— Phoenix Fire Dept. (@PHXFire) October 8, 2026
Using hose lines, crews were able to knock down the fire within an hour and prevent it from spreading to neighboring buildings. Ladder crews also used an elevated water stream to target the main part of the blaze.
“Our initial reports, we had people in all of these buildings behind me here. It looks like at this time, we didn’t get any fire extension. All of that bulk of the fire was contained to the exterior of the structure, according to our firefighters on scene,” said Phoenix Fire Capt. Mike Johnson.
Capt. Johnson explained why burning tires pose a unique risk to nearby buildings.
“These tires are made of rubber, lots of different chemicals. So, anytime that smoke’s going in the air, a lot of the times they’ll melt, and those plastics will creep inside buildings that can cause extension into these structures. Again, our firefighters really did a good job of getting inside there and making sure we got really quick water on that fire before it could extend,” he said.
The fire captain warned that surrounding neighborhoods may smell lingering smoke from the tires throughout the morning.
“You’re still going to have residual smoke, that smell is probably going to last for a little bit. So, if you are in these neighborhoods or the surrounding areas, just be aware of that,” he said.
Video shows large plumes of black smoke pouring from the back of the shop. Firefighters used ladder trucks to extinguish the fast-moving flames, and crews were spraying water on dozens of tires.
75th Avenue is closed in both directions in the area. Residents and drivers are asked to avoid the area as crews continue putting out hot spots.
No injuries were reported. Firefighters are working to determine what sparked the blaze.
Firefighters from Glendale, Avondale and Tolleson responded to assist with the blaze.

Arizona and Taiwan celebrated another significant milestone in their expanding partnership as the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) officially opened its new office in Phoenix. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office Phoenix office will serve as a critical resource to support Taiwan companies as they establish operations in Arizona, building on recent activities including the opening of the Taiwan Trade & Investment Center in May 2026.
Governor Katie Hobbs joined leaders including Dr. Chia-Lung Lin, Taiwan Minister of Foreign Affairs; TECO Phoenix Director General Kevin Chiao; Ingrid Larson, Managing Director, American Institute in Taiwan (AIT); Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego; Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority; and Christine Mackay, President and CEO, Greater Phoenix Economic Council to commemorate the office opening.
The event on October 5 brought together elected leaders from Arizona, representatives from TECO and Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the American Institute in Taiwan, and local government, academic, and community leaders, and a visiting delegation of over 40 government and industry leaders.
“Arizona continues to strengthen our relationship with Taiwan through mutually beneficial opportunities in trade, investment, and cultural exchange,” said Governor Hobbs. “Across our state, Taiwanese families, restaurants, small businesses, cultural festivals, and community organizations are enriching Arizona’s vibrant and diverse communities. We are proud to welcome TECO’s office to Arizona and look forward to building on this important partnership and creating new opportunities for our people and our economies.”
As part of the ceremonial opening events, the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) and the National Innovation & Entrepreneurship Association (NiEA), Taiwan’s premier entrepreneurship platform, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) focused on innovation, entrepreneurship and workforce development. The MOU was signed by Sandra Watson, President & CEO of the ACA, and Bill Chiu, Chairman of NiEA.
Core goals for the MOU include:
“Opening TECO in Phoenix marks a new chapter in the partnership between Taiwan and Arizona. Our presence here reflects not only the remarkable growth of our economic ties, but also a shared commitment to building deeper and lasting connections among our businesses, universities, communities, and people,” said Kevin Chiao, Director General, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Phoenix. “We look forward to making TECO Phoenix a bridge between Taiwan and Arizona—one that transforms the tremendous momentum in our partnership into new opportunities, stronger cooperation, and lasting benefits for the people of both Taiwan and Arizona.”
“The opening of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Phoenix marks an important milestone in the longstanding partnership between Arizona and Taiwan,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “This new office will serve as a catalyst for collaboration—connecting our economies more directly, supporting Taiwanese companies as they expand in Arizona, and opening new avenues for shared innovation and opportunity.”
“Phoenix is proud to welcome the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office and mark another important chapter in our longstanding relationship with Taiwan,” said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego. “Taiwan’s growing presence in Phoenix reflects the strength of the economic, cultural and community ties we have built over decades. This new office will bring our communities even closer while creating new opportunities for innovation and collaboration that will benefit Phoenix and Taiwan for years to come.”

Taiwanese authorities have said the new Phoenix office — their 14th in the United States — will promote collaboration in technology, especially in semiconductor manufacturing, and better serve a growing number of Taiwanese migrants in the city.
After the plans for the office were announced in July, Hobbs received two letters from China’s consulate general in Los Angeles asking her to object to the proposal, according to documents the governor’s office shared with The Associated Press.
In a July 3 letter, the Chinese authority called the governor to “refute such an attempt by the Taiwan authorities and stop any political gimmicks to harm the friendship and cooperation between China and the State of Arizona.” The stance was reiterated in an Aug. 21 letter.
The letters were first reported by Phoenix radio station KJZZ.
Hobbs highlighted Arizona’s ties with Taiwan at Monday’s opening.
“Every Arizona elected official should show the courage necessary to support the partnership between Arizona and Taiwan,” Hobbs said. “As our economic partnership grows, we are mobilizing every available resource to support Taiwanese companies expanding here in Arizona.”
Beijing claims the island as a breakaway province inseparable from China, while Taiwan considers itself separate from the Chinese mainland and has its own government. Scholars say that local-level collaborations with the Chinese government and Taiwan have become more politicized as U.S.-China relations have deteriorated over the years.
“China firmly opposes official interactions of any form between China’s Taiwan region and the U.S., including its federal and state governments,” Liu Chang, a spokesperson for China’s Embassy in the U.S., said in a statement on Monday.
Taiwan has been increasing its economic footprint in Arizona, with advanced chipmaker Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, pledging $100 billion to expand its operation in northern Phoenix. That brings its total investment in the city to $265 billion, the largest foreign direct investment in U.S. history.
Around 500 Taiwanese engineers are working to ramp up production at TSMC in Arizona, according to Jason Hsu, a former lawmaker in Taiwan and a senior fellow at the public policy think tank Hudson Institute.
Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego also said the city is seeing a sort of “baby boom” in its Taiwanese communities, with several labor and delivery rooms even launching Mandarin language programs.
