The many choices for senior housing can be overwhelming. Some older adults are able to live out their retirement years playing golf and enjoying relatively few health problems. In contrast, others require assistance with their care needs which is often dictated by health and safety concerns.
Assisted living is a type of housing designed for people who need various levels of medical and personal care. Living spaces can be individual rooms, apartments, or shared quarters. Assisted living communities generally provide a home-like setting and are physically designed to promote the resident’s independence. Services are offered to assist residents with daily living. What “assisted living” means depends on both the state and provider in question. Variations in state regulatory definitions are significant and provider variables include everything from care provided to geographic location, organizational size, and structure.
Assisted living communities typically provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), coordination of services by outside health care providers, and monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Assistance often includes the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services. The services offered by assisted living communities vary from facility to facility. Services often include:

I was frantically trying to find someone who could help assist me at 8 AM on a Sunday. She quickly contacted me and spent over an hour and a half taking care of her needs. She is truly an angel.”
“Kathleen is truly one of a kind. I personally experienced the care and support she provides, and I can honestly say her knowledge, compassion, and understanding go far beyond what you normally find. She took the time to listen, understand my needs, and make me feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. What stood out most to me was how genuinely she cared. It never felt like I was just another client. Kathleen brings so much experience and knowledge to what she does, but it’s her heart and the way she treats people that really makes the difference. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for someone who truly knows what they’re doing and, more importantly, genuinely cares about the people she serves. She is exceptional at what she does.”
“Kathleen is an “Angel” today my mom lost AC at 4:30pm in the Hot Houston area. Kathleen came over, got my mom and sister ready and took them to a hotel. Then met the AC repair man while he got it fixed. God is good!! Thank you Kathleen ❤️”
“I found Always Best Care (ABC) after searching for in home care for my mother after a fall and hospitalization. I selected BAC based on their Google reviews. The initial setup was quick and easy. Cathy Bruce (An absolutely unparalleled Senior Advocate) came to our home, interviewed me and my mother for over an hour to understand our needs and schedule, and set up the caregivers. The caregivers were on time and developed a rapport with my mother. The care provided was excellent and my mother developed a great rapport with her caregiver. Unfortunately, my mother’s condition continued to deteriorate. After a hospital stay, the hospital wanted to deny my mother’s post hospital rehab stay. I was in panic mode, trying to find somewhere for my mother to stay while I prepped her move into my home. While I was absolutely speeding towards Houston, Cathy Bruce was on the phone, helping me find alternatives. She went the extra mile in a way difficult to describe. Later, after the rehab stay, Cathy also helped me find an assisted living facility for a respite stay until I had modified the new home for my mother’s mobility needs. Now I’ve moved my mother to my home, and have set up ABC in the new city. No surprise, the caregiver they sent here was also excellent. This company is miles ahead of their competitors, and Cathy Bruce is a rockstar. Ten out of five stars. Use ABC Woodlands. If you’re in over your head, if it’s your first time having to be a senior caregiver, they’ll help. Be sure to ask for Cathy.”

“We have had an outstanding experience with All About Care. From the very beginning, the agency has been responsive, professional, and truly compassionate. A special thank you to Kathleen Craig, who has been wonderful to work with—she is incredibly knowledgeable, a great source of information, and always attentive and supportive. She has been quick to respond to any questions or needs, which has made this process so much easier. Our caregiver, Tiara, has been exceptional. From day one, Tiara has been professional, experienced, and fully dedicated to her work. She is never on her phone and remains focused and attentive the entire time she is here. Always on time, never misses a day! My husband is bedridden and requires consistent care, and Tiara goes above and beyond during every shift. Even though she works 5-hour shifts, Tiara is always engaged, anticipating his needs and making sure he is comfortable at all times. What truly sets Tiara apart is the joy she brings into our home. Tiara not only provides excellent care, but also lifts both my husband’s spirits and mine. She has even taken the time to teach me helpful tips and share ideas that have made a meaningful difference in our daily routine, which I truly appreciate. I am incredibly grateful to All About Care, Kathleen Craig, and especially Tiara for their compassion, professionalism, and dedication. I would highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality caregiving support. I love Always Best Care and their high standards. There’s no agency in the Houston area that can compete. ♥️”
“I’m not typically one to leave a review but I was at my mom’s senior living home and there were several people in the lobby for some event that was going on. One of the ladies walked over to talk to us and see how our day was. Her name is Cathy Bruce, and she was just so nice. She sat down with us and we had a great conversation. She explained it was a networking event going on but she was more interested in how my mom was. She gave me her card and said if I ever wanted to just talk, to give her a call since I recently lost my husband. It was refreshing to have a complete stranger care and basically live it out loud. I haven’t reached out yet but I wanted her to know how much I appreciate her sitting with my mom and I for a little bit. It meant the world to us.”
“Working with Cathy Bruce is a treat! I have referred friends to her several times and she has always been the most helpful placing their loved ones in great care!”
“I have referred friends to Cathy Bruce at Always Best Care Senior Services because I know she will go above and beyond to help them.

I would highly recommend you give Always Best Care Senior Services a call!!!”

She was full of smiles and so patient with our residents. It was really special to have her in the community. I look forward to partnering together in the future.”
“Kathleen Craig, our care coordinator from Always Best Care, was exceptional for the months we used the agency’s services. She was able to accurately assess our home care needs during our first encounter and was always accessible by text/phone to make any needed adjustments to the schedule as our needs changed. This was a HUGE relief during an especially challenging time for us. Kathleen understood our criteria for caregivers (skills for dementia care) and was attentive to identifying the best providers. Kathleen even stepped in to cover a shift at a different location (during a hospitalization of my loved one) and offered useful strategies to make care more effective. Thank you, Kathleen for your compassion, creativity , accessibility and Care (with a capital C!).”
“Always Best Care has been amazing for my mother. Kathleen is a wonderful director. She’s so kind and clearly cares about her clients, and she’s always on the ball. She’s communicative, available, anticipates problems (like making sure my mom had last-minute overnight care during a winter storm), and has resolved any issues immediately. Best of all, she paired my mother with her caregiver Evelyn, who has been an absolute godsend and a perfect match. Evelyn cares for my mother like her own family, and treats her with such care and respect. I never thought I could feel this safe and at ease with someone other than me taking care of my mom, but the Always Best team has done it! I’ll simply never be able to thank you all enough.”
“It is with immense pleasure that I commend Kathleen Craig, an exceptional Director at Always Best Care. Kathleen consistently exemplifies outstanding professionalism and leadership within her role. She possesses a remarkable ability to proactively engage with and effectively resolve diverse challenges, demonstrating a keen dedication to finding practical and comprehensive solutions. Furthermore, Kathleen consistently approaches all interactions with profound empathy and respect, ensuring that individual perspectives and concerns are acknowledged and addressed with the utmost consideration. Her commitment to fostering a supportive and understanding environment is truly invaluable.”
“Kathleen is wonderful to work with. She truly cares about her clients and their families.”
“Kathleen Craig and the team at Always Best Care are amazing to work for. Such an involved team who knows how to communicate and works hard to make everyone including their employees happy. They are flexible understanding amazing ladies who work hard and strive for better. It was such a great experience working for them and being a part of this awesome team.”
“I appreciated the ability to get out of the house for a few hours.”
“Definitely would recommend. This home healthcare business has been accommodating since day one. For you and your loved one’s peace of mind, choose ABC where the care comes first.”
“We adore Ann Marie! She has made all the progress since Lisa’s fall and recent hospitalization…she’s family…she is awesome… Can’t say enough!”
There are many choices for seniors to consider when it comes to finding a community that will best fit their needs.
Independent living communities are for adults, generally ages 55 and older, who don’t need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), but are looking for a living environment that offers additional support, onsite amenities and socializing opportunities and activities.
A continuing care retirement community (CCRCs) offers multiple options along the continuum of senior living housing and healthcare spectrum. Many CCRCs offer independent living, assisted living, and memory care all on one campus. If care needs change, residents can transition within the community to the proper care setting. In most cases, in-home care is also provided.
Assisted living is a type of housing designed for people who need various levels of medical and personal care. Living spaces can be individual rooms, apartments, or shared quarters.
Residential care communities for the elderly, sometimes referred to as board and care homes, are responsible for providing assisted living services to residents in a homelike and community setting, allowing them to maintain independence while continuing to receive nursing level of care as needed.
Memory care is a type of long-term care geared toward those living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of progressive-degenerative dementia.
Nursing homes are senior living facilities that offer a high level of medical care. Like assisted living facilities, nursing homes have numerous amenities and help with basic activities. However, they also provide medication management and 24-hour supervision, leading to a more clinical environment as well as the highest level of care for individuals who don’t require hospitalization.
Always Best Care representatives can help match each client’s physical, emotional, and financial needs with the amenities and services of the local communities in your area. This is based on the use of comparative data that can help you determine the best option for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with the senior living communities in your area to gain extensive knowledge that is used to help seniors and their loved ones make an informed decision about the best option for them. This includes basic rent and care charges, services provided, and availability. Because Always Best Care is compensated by the communities, we provide senior living referral services that are provided at no charge to the client.
The transition into a senior living community can be a daunting task. Your spouse can play a huge role in your well-being. In many cases, especially assisted and independent living, spouses are certainly welcome to join their loved one. If this is something you are considering, it will be important to ask the community you are considering if your spouse is welcome to join you. Also, be sure to ask how costs are allocated for your spouse.
Moving into a senior community is based on when and how you and your family want to transition. While some seniors are more proactive in moving into independent living, others choose to remain home until they have care needs or other requirements that make moving into a senior living community the right decision.
