Home Care Houston, TX

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 Henry Staiti House gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.

Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Houston, TX is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“My 91 year old father, who is a stroke patient, came to live with me and my husband 3 years ago after my mother passed away. We struggled weekly to get him to take a bath with assistance by my husband. On the agreed scheduled day for bathing, my father would "feel bad" and negotiate a later date. Bathing a partly paralyzed, uncooperative adult is not easy. So last fall when my husband and I were going to travel overseas for our 25th wedding anniversary, we needed help. Our son was coming to live at our house to take care of my father . It was not appropriate for our son to bathe his grandfather. So my father's doctor recommended I contact Karena Kirk with Always Best Care Senior Services. I had never considered using outside care for my father. Best phone call I have ever made. Ms. Kirk came to meet with me to discuss my father's needs. My father was very reluctant at first. But after the first bathing event, HE IS IN LOVE. Ms. Kirk was gentle, kind, engaging in conversation and asking my father regarding what he needed in this new care relationship. My father knows that his bath schedule is every Monday and Friday and looks forward to Ms. Kirk and her staff coming to care for him. He has in-depth talks and loves their visits. Ms. Kirk and her staff will do other chores like changing out his bedding and washing the linens and his clothes. Any other tasks that I need assistance with they are more than happy to help. It has changed all of our lives for the better.”

From my first phone call with Roxane who was able to put an amazing team of caregivers in the hospital that day for the my dad's 10 week stay (which included Hurricane Harvey) through the next 5 months in a skilled nursing facility, ABC never let me down. The kindness and quality of ABC's caregivers and the way Karena manages her company exceeded what I thought was possible based on my prior 10 years of experience with other outside caregivers during my mom's decline from Alzheimer's. With no family in Houston, knowing I could count on Roxane's and Karena's caring oversight and communication enabled me to advocate for my dad from out of state and gave me peace of mind to be able to honor his wish to stay in Houston. The kindness and skills of ABC's caregivers were extraordinary (and I have very high expectations)! They became extended family for which I will always be grateful.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Houston, TX?

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 Houston, TX
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. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Étoile or visit Historical Marker, 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.

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 Houston, TX, 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 Houston, TX

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 TX'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 Houston, TX

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 Houston, TX 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 Houston, TX

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 Houston, TX

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:

  • MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care at River Oaks
  • Belmont Village Senior Living West University
  • Brookdale The Heights
  • Bedford Residence Assisted Living
  • Belmont Village Senior Living Hunters Creek
  • Best Personal Care Licensed assisted living facility
Home Care Houston, TX

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.

Houston, TX (April 2, 2025) – Authorities in Houston responded to a traffic collision that caused injuries at the intersection of Hamilton St and Pierce St. The crash occurred in the heart of the city and prompted immediate action from emergency crews.

Emergency responders were quick to the scene, providing care to the injured victims. The specifics of how the incident unfolded have not yet been shared, and no additional details about the individuals involved have been made public. The intersection experienced delays while medics and fire crews worked to assist those suffering from injuries after the collision.

The area was temporarily cordoned off to ensure safe operations as authorities launched an investigation into the cause of the crash. As of now, no further updates have been provided regarding the severity of the injuries or the number of vehicles involved.

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this incident.

Downtown Houston's High-Risk Intersections

The crash at Hamilton St and Pierce St occurred within one of Houston’s busiest corridors. Intersections in the downtown area, especially those that connect major thoroughfares and access points to highways, often see a high volume of both commuter and commercial traffic throughout the day. This level of congestion increases the likelihood of accidents, especially during peak hours.

In areas like this, accidents are frequently linked to aggressive lane changes, red light running, and congestion-related confusion. The mix of vehicle types—from passenger cars to delivery trucks—adds another layer of complexity to navigating these intersections safely.

Houston has made strides in addressing safety in its urban core, but challenges remain. Traffic enforcement and awareness campaigns help, but driver vigilance continues to be one of the most important factors in preventing crashes. Intersections like Hamilton and Pierce demand a higher level of alertness from all who pass through.

When a collision happens in a high-traffic area, it can cause a chain reaction of delays and risks for others nearby. Victims of such crashes should seek immediate medical attention and take steps to protect their legal rights. In Texas, those injured due to another party's negligence may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.

If you or someone you know has been injured in a crash, reach out to Local Accident Reports for assistance.

Houston, TX (April 3, 2025) – Medics and fire crews worked to assist those suffering from injuries after the collision that occurred along the 6000 block of Allendale Rd. Emergency responders arrived promptly at the scene of this vehicle crash, which caused injury and disruption in the area.

The accident took place near 6029 Allendale Rd and involved multiple vehicles. Although specific details regarding the vehicles or individuals involved have not been released, emergency services treated those injured at the scene and arranged for further medical care where necessary. Traffic was temporarily diverted as crews ensured the area was safe and all individuals received appropriate attention.

The Houston Fire and Rescue team coordinated efforts at the site, stabilizing the scene and supporting those affected. Law enforcement officials launched an investigation into the cause of the crash. Witnesses in the vicinity are being interviewed as authorities seek to understand the series of events that led to the collision.

Our thoughts are with those affected by this incident on Allendale Rd.

Residential Road Collisions and Awareness in Houston

Crashes like the one on Allendale Rd highlight the risks drivers face even on seemingly routine stretches of city road. In areas of Houston where residential neighborhoods meet high-traffic corridors, accidents can arise from a mix of congestion, speed, and inattention. Drivers may underestimate the danger posed by intersections or ignore the potential for sudden stops and pedestrian crossings.

Unlike major highways where patterns are more predictable, residential roads require constant vigilance. Residents may exit driveways unexpectedly, and children or cyclists may appear without warning. When multiple vehicles are involved, especially during busy periods, even a small lapse in judgment can lead to serious consequences.

After a crash, those involved may be forced to navigate a complicated recovery process. From managing medical appointments and missed workdays to understanding insurance obligations, the aftermath can feel overwhelming. Mental and emotional strain often adds to the physical impact, particularly when a collision disrupts the sense of safety in one’s own neighborhood.

Investigators are working to determine what exactly unfolded on Allendale Rd, but the incident serves as another reminder of how crucial attentive driving remains—no matter the road type or traffic level. For drivers across Houston, renewing focus on road awareness, respecting speed limits, and avoiding distractions can go a long way toward reducing similar incidents in the future.

If you or someone you know has been injured in a crash, reach out to Local Accident Reports for assistance.

Houston, TX (April 3, 2025) – First responders, including paramedics, assessed and treated individuals hurt in the crash following a two-car collision on Elm St in Houston. The incident occurred in the vicinity of 5815 Elm St and resulted in a swift response from emergency crews.

The crash happened during the early evening hours and involved two vehicles. While officials have not disclosed how the crash unfolded, emergency services worked quickly to stabilize the scene and provide aid to those injured. Traffic in the area was temporarily affected as responders secured the location and tended to those involved.

Houston Fire and Rescue played a key role in ensuring the injured parties received immediate medical care. Some individuals were transported to nearby medical facilities, while others received attention at the scene. No details have been released yet regarding the names of those involved or the extent of injuries sustained.

An active investigation is underway to determine the cause of the crash. Police have begun reviewing evidence and gathering statements from witnesses who were nearby at the time of the incident.

Our thoughts are with those affected by this accident on Elm St.

Road Safety and Injury Risks in Texas Residential Areas

In residential areas like the stretch of Elm St in Houston, two-car crashes are not uncommon. Although speed limits are generally lower in such zones, other risk factors often emerge—such as driver distraction, parked vehicles obstructing views, and sudden pedestrian crossings. These seemingly quiet streets can quickly turn into zones of danger when caution lapses.

The nature of residential driving creates a false sense of security, especially for local drivers who may become too familiar with the route. Overconfidence can lead to reduced reaction times or failure to yield at intersections, which often contributes to injury crashes. In Texas cities, where both large and compact vehicles share narrow lanes, the risk is amplified.

Following an accident, those involved may find themselves overwhelmed not only by physical pain but by the complexity of post-crash procedures. This includes dealing with insurance companies, ensuring proper vehicle repairs, and seeking medical evaluations that may uncover injuries not immediately visible. It’s also common for emotional distress to follow, particularly when the accident occurs near one’s home or affects daily routines.

The investigation by local authorities will help clarify what occurred on Elm St, but for those injured, the path forward involves more than just recovering from physical harm. Understanding one’s rights, getting proper medical care, and keeping thorough documentation of all accident-related matters are essential next steps.
