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 Downtown Wake Forest Historic District 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 Wake Forest, NC is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

Kathryn from Always Best Care was an absolute lifesaver! She guided us seamlessly through the process of finding the perfect independent senior living community for our father. Her extensive industry knowledge helped us navigate the additional health services he required with ease. Kathryn went above and beyond, consistently checking in and patiently responding to countless texts and emails from us. Thanks to her support, our father is now thriving in a supportive environment and is healthier than ever. We can’t imagine how we would have managed this journey without Kathryn’s expertise and compassion. Truly an incredible experience!”

Each of their carers was exceptionally professional and attentive, especially Lori and Kylie who were incredible. I felt safe leaving my loved one in their care and appreciated that they went above and beyond to meet our needs. They provided regular updates to me and my family and made my mother feel so well attended, especially as she needed extra mobility and personal care help. I would absolutely not work with any other company, should we ever need home health assistance again. Highly recommend.”

Kind, compassion, pleasant, friendly, joyful and talented professionals comprise those providing this service. I literally couldn’t have lived for at my assisted living since I had so many hospital visits each week. I didn’t want to go alone to these appointments and this freed my family from needless distress and worry about my wellbeing when they couldn’t be there. I highly recommend ABC since they are an essential component providing excellent and reliable support.”
“ABC services do an amazing job. They have helped my 90 year old mother in law transition into her new home after moving to Raleigh from Winston Salem. She has dialysis 3x a week and they have worked so hard to coordinate a schedule to make sure everything runs smoothly. Sherry continues to amaze me in how she is able to help figure out schedules and provide customer services in a kind and professional manner. We will continue to look to this wonderful service provider as her needs change and feel blessed to have them on site at Atri”
“I cannot recommend this service enough. The owner Shawn was wonderful to speak with. He was sincerely concerned about my mom and our family. He is an excellent listener and introduced me to Paige who is equally wonderful. Together they found a great place for my mother in a very short time. Paige was always available to speak on the phone and addressed my questions or concerns. I would recommend using this service for your loved one. Laura B of Raleigh”

My dad has a chance to live the rest of his life with dignity and my mom has a chance to live a fuller life because of the help we got from Kathryn and this team.

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 E. Carroll Joyner 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 Heritage Grille & Wine Barrel or visit Wake Forest Historical Museum, 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 Wake Forest, NC, 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 Wake Forest, NC 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 Wake Forest, NC 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.

EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (March 17, 2025) – North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and Wake Forest University School of Law have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) establishing a pathway for highly accomplished N.C. A&T students to matriculate into the Wake Forest University School of Law full-time residential J.D. program.
The inaugural cohort of two A&T students – a current senior and an alumnus – have been selected and will enroll at Wake Forest Law in fall 2025.
A&T will identify two promising candidates by Feb. 1 each year for subsequent fall admission to the J.D. program at Wake Forest Law. Candidates can be current A&T seniors or alumni, but they must have at least a 156 score on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and a minimum cumulative 3.50 undergraduate G.P.A. as calculated by the Law School Admission Council. They also must have good character and fitness to study and practice law, as determined by Wake Forest Law.
Candidates admitted through the partnership are awarded a minimum $35,000 per year scholarship. This program does not preclude other A&T students from applying and being accepted to Wake Forest Law.
“We are proud to partner with Wake Law to establish a direct pathway for select A&T students to matriculate at its prestigious law school,” said C. Dinitra White, Ph.D., Pre-Professional Scholars Program director and associate professor of biology. “We want to increase awareness of the law profession, help remove barriers for students interested in pursuing a law career and help produce a more robust pathway into the profession. Further, strengthening our relationships with our partner institutions brings together exceptional expertise that benefits everyone.”
The A&T/Wake Forest Law partnership aims to prepare high-achieving scholars and legal professionals who are engaged in innovative solutions and committed to the cause of justice. The universities intend to create a richly diverse, equitable and inclusive community where students further develop respect for the law, a devotion to service and a commitment to professional values. Graduates will be equipped to manage and create change in increasingly complex environments, communicate across differences, and bring about lasting, meaningful solutions supported by the rule of law. The ultimate goal is to have a positive impact at local, state, national and global levels.
“Wake Forest Law is committed to broadening access to legal education to cultivate ‘citizen-lawyers’ — those who are dedicated to serving their communities. Our new partnership with N.C. A&T, a renowned institution which prides itself on educating leaders with integrity, aligns perfectly with this vision,” said Andrew R. Klein, J.D., dean and Suzanne Reynolds Distinguished Chair in Law at Wake Forest Law. “By combining our strengths, we are set to enhance educational opportunities and empower a new generation of legal professionals equipped to lead and innovate.”
The A&T/Wake Forest Law pathway program is among those offered by A&T’s Pre-Professional Scholars Program (PPSP), a comprehensive, institutionally supported program established in 2009 that supports educational and professional development of undergraduate and graduate students interested in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, law and research. Increasing students’ exposure to these professions is a PPSP priority focused on strengthening existing relationships with professional and graduate degree-granting institutions, supporting professional student organizations, identifying local professionals to serve as mentors and resources, and forming novel relationships with various universities and community partners.
In addition to providing select, high-achieving students a direct pathway into graduate and professional schools, these partnerships provide opportunities for cross-campus collaborations, potential partnerships for research funding, wider exposure for students and faculty to other campuses and their offerings, and opportunities to collaborate on advancing student success. Since its inception, approximately 50 students from the Early Assurance Scholars premedical program and Accelerated Pathway to Law School prelaw programs have been admitted to graduate and professional schools through the PPSP.
The MOU with Wake Forest Law is the third such partnership between A&T and other J.D. programs across the state. The university has accelerated pathway partnerships with Greensboro-based Elon Law and Durham-based North Carolina Central University School of Law.

What better way to help your chances in the NCAA Tournament than to take out another bubble team? Both the Tar Heels (21-12, 13-7 ACC) and the Demon Deacons (21-10, 13-7 ACC) have that opportunity Thursday.
After Duke, Clemson and Louisville, there’s no team in the ACC that’s a certainty to make the NCAA Tournament. The last time the ACC had only three teams in the tournament was 2000, when there was nine teams in the conference. The ACC just expanded to 18 teams this season. Whoever wins this game will have the best chance of getting this conference away from the wrong side of history.
Wake Forest took down UNC 67-66 on Jan. 21, led by Cameron Hildreth’s 20 points. The Tar Heels led by two at half, but the Demon Deacons had a couple runs in the final 20 minutes that put them ahead, and eventually earned them the double bye in the ACC Tournament.
The Tar Heels beat Notre Dame yesterday 76-56, never losing control of the game. Jae’Lyn Withers was 7-of-10 from three, those 21 points were a career high for the fifth-year senior. Ven-Allen Lubin had a 17 points and 10 rebounds Wednesday, his second double-double of the season. It was also Lubin’s second double-double over the past three games.

Wake Forest, NC (March 15, 2025) – A motor vehicle collision with injuries occurred on Saturday evening at the intersection of Durham Rd and Capital Blvd. The incident took place at approximately 6:27 p.m., prompting a swift response from local emergency services.
Emergency responders from the Wake Forest Fire Department arrived promptly at the scene to assess and treat individuals injured in the crash. The exact number of vehicles involved and the severity of injuries sustained have not been disclosed at this time. Authorities are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision. Traffic disruptions were reported in the area as emergency crews worked to manage the scene and clear the roadway. Motorists were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays.
Our thoughts are with those affected by this incident as they recover from their injuries.
Car accidents are a significant concern in North Carolina, with intersections like Durham Rd and Capital Blvd in Wake Forest being particularly susceptible due to high traffic volumes and complex traffic patterns. The state's Department of Transportation reports that intersections are common sites for collisions, often resulting from factors such as distracted driving, speeding, or failure to yield.

The intensity of college basketball rivalries was on full display as No. 4 seed Wake Forest head coach Steve Forbes made headlines with comments on No. 5 seed North Carolina coach Hubert Davis.
The two in-state rivals squared off in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament Thursday night, and while the Tar Heels walked away with a victory, the Demon Deacons didn’t go away quietly. Let’s take a further look at Forbes’ comments.
The game began with Wake Forest striking first, setting an aggressive tone. However, UNC quickly responded after Davis called a timeout to regroup his team. From that point on, the first half remained a back-and-forth contest, with both teams battling fiercely for control.
During a break in the action, the camera cuts to Forbes, who can be seen mouthing the words “whiny a** b****” directed at North Carolina coach Hubert Davis.

One of the key talking points of the game was Davis’ frequent discussions with the referees. Known for trying to influence calls, the UNC coach was seen engaging officials throughout the contest. While this is a common strategy for many coaches, Forbes was visibly frustrated by what he perceived as excessive lobbying for favorable calls.
Despite Wake Forest’s strong effort, UNC’s defense ultimately proved to be the difference-maker. The Tar Heels clamped down on the Demon Deacons, forcing them to miss 11 of their final 12 shots. This defensive stand allowed UNC to pull away with a 68-59 victory.
Wake Forest did an excellent job of limiting Carolina’s transition offense, turning the game into a half-court battle. The Tar Heels were held to zero fast-break points in the first half and managed just five in total. However, their resilience and defensive adjustments allowed them to grind out a tough win.
While emotions run high in competitive games, Forbes’ choice of words about Davis could lead to further tension between the two programs. Such comments can sometimes cause miscommunication or strain relationships between coaching staff, schools, and fanbases.

This game was a testament to the grit and intensity of ACC basketball, proving once again why these matchups remain must-watch events for college basketball fans.
