“I cannot say enough good things about Jann’e M. Gutierrez and her team at Always Best Care Senior Services. Jann’e responded immediately when I called for help with my mother. We were in a terminal situation and needed help in the home. She came immediately and provided us with the much needed care. The caregivers she provided were wonderful. They were qualified, patient, and kind and we were so comfortable leaving our mother alone with them. It is never a good situation when you need this type of care and Jann’e made it so easy. I would recommend them 100%.”

“I am so grateful to Janne Gutierrez of ABC Senior Services in Tempe! Faced with an immediate need for hands-on support for my aging father (I live in Michigan) I was lucky to have connected with Janne. Communication was excellent. Within days, she did a thorough home visit assessment and gave me a complete report of what was working and where she thought support would be most effective. Options for levels of care were tailored to needs while also considering our budget. I could tell that Janne not only has years of experience in the field, but also actually enjoys what she does. We were able to discuss not just home care, but also assisted living options and health management arrangements. I'd highly recommend contacting ABC if you need a similar service.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Phoenix, AZ?

lm-check

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.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

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.

lm-check

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.

Home Care Phoenix, AZ
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

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.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

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.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

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.

 Elderly Care Phoenix, AZ

Affordable 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:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your AZ's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care Phoenix, AZ

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

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.

Assisted Living Referral Services

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.


Respite Care Phoenix, AZ

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:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Phoenix, AZ

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.

Home Care Phoenix, AZ

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.

 In-Home Care Phoenix, AZ

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

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

lm-right-arrow

A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive

lm-right-arrow
02

lm-right-arrow
03

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.

Morning Crash Risks at Busy Intersections in Phoenix

Intersections like N 31st Ave and W Thomas Rd are often prone to morning crashes due to heavy commuter traffic, school drop-offs, and high-speed turns. Collisions during these hours are frequently attributed to distraction, red-light violations, or unsafe lane changes.

Even in seemingly moderate-impact collisions, victims may suffer from injuries such as whiplash, head trauma, or internal bruising—many of which may not be immediately apparent. Prompt medical evaluation and proper documentation are critical to a full recovery and to support any future claims related to the crash.

Phoenix traffic safety officials have emphasized the importance of reducing speeds and increasing awareness during peak traffic hours to prevent such incidents. Local authorities are also working to upgrade traffic control measures in high-risk zones through signal timing improvements and intersection redesigns.

If you've been injured in a traffic crash in Phoenix, it's vital to secure medical care, understand your legal rights, and connect with support services early.

Bill targets city-funded hotel stays for homeless

The Brief

PHOENIX - A new Arizona bill would force hotels to warn customers that it’s housing homeless people.

Not only that, but the bill would stop cities from paying hotels to temporarily provide shelter.

What we know:

HB 2803 was introduced by Rep. Matt Gress. He says these services haven’t worked in San Francisco or Los Angeles, and he doesn’t want them imported here.

The Independent 47 hotel on Pima Road used to save a couple of rooms for homeless senior citizens and families at the expense of Scottsdale taxpayers.

But, residents complained and Rep. Gress decided the program, statewide, should be ended all together.

"Again, it’s warehousing people, and it’s this vicious circle of moving people throughout the social services system, and not getting the real healing that they need," he explained.

He’s tried a statewide ban before, but this legislative session, the House and Senate are on board with HB 2803.

The bill would stop these city and state-funded programs, and also force hotels that do take in the homeless to post signs and warnings on their websites that homeless people are housed inside, and to lock their doors and safely store their belongings.

The other side:

"I think that there is a general notion with this bill, that being homeless somehow makes you more dangerous. But if I am a woman with kids, seniors, veterans, youth who are on their own, these are the sorts of places that create safety, when suitable beds aren’t available," Nicole Newhouse, executive director of the Arizona Housing Coalition.

The Arizona Housing Coalition points to rural areas, like Cochise County, that only have one shelter. Or Mesa, which currently pays the Windemere Hotel to provide rooms for the unsheltered, successfully helping people get back on their feet.

Big picture view:

"The reason why it doesn’t work is because you can’t control the facility. You have to have command and control over the entire facility, who comes in and who comes out. Otherwise, you’re going to see drugs pass in and out very easily. You’re also going to put the general public, patrons who are not part of the homelessness program, at risk," Rep. Gress said.

He says the state should be investing in emergency and transitional shelters where people can be supervised, treated and tracked.

Homeless advocates stress there’s an entire segment of the homeless population who will be hurt if Rep. Gress’ bill became law.

"It’s not necessarily the people that immediately come to mind when you think homeless. Most people do not enter homelessness looking like that archetype. They start at a place, and it’s a place that they are seeking help, and they don’t get it. So, hotels are places where we can prevent that, at least temporarily, until we can connect people to more suitable shelter and the support they need to build their lives to a place where they can thrive on their own," Newhouse said.

What's next:

Rep. Gress attempted to pass this bill last year, but it failed. While he has the backing of both the House and Senate this time, he’s expecting Governor Katie Hobbs to veto it.

He says he’ll keep trying because this issue of the homeless and how to help them isn’t ending anytime soon.
