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 Old Greenville County Courthouse Building 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 Greenville, NC is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I cannot say enough good things about this company and the caregivers they provided after my mom's recent accident and stay in a rehab facility. The staff were constantly in communication with us keeping us abreast of any little or big updates. Their attitudes were always helpful and they seemed to genuinely care. The caregivers they sent to sit with and take care of mom were EXCELLENT. I'm not sure how many different caregivers she had over the few weeks of her stay but there wasn't a single one that wasn't kind and extremely helpful. It took a tremendous load off of everyone in our family knowing that she was being well cared for when we couldn't be there. Thank you to Brandi, Joanne, Gina, and anyone I'm missing for everything you all did for us from the beginning of the process all the way to my mom's release today. Hopefully, we won't need your services again, but if we do, I know who I will be calling!”

She asked a lot of questions about my loved one to try and get to know her as much as possible. She worked very fast and lined up several appointments for us to tour places within a matter of days. She explained the process to me every step of the way and made sure we stayed on track. She attended the appointments with me and asked questions that I would never think to ask. I can’t thank her enough.”

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 Falls Park on the Reedy 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 Halls Chophouse Greenville or visit Pettigru Historic District, 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 Greenville, 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 Greenville, 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 Greenville, 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.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - A Chick-fil-A employee in Greenville, who has millions of views on TikTok for his incredibly friendly service and great attitude, is speaking with WITN about his recent fame.
Simeon Gilbert says he owes it all to the lessons he’s learned from his mother.
Multiple customers who have seen Simeon’s kindness span across TikTok flocked to him during our interview.
“Well, one thing that I love to do, I’m just a naturally joyful and happy person. I have a lot of joy inside of me. What I like to do, is not hold it all to myself, but share that joy with others in any way that I can,” said Gilbert.
Gilbert says his mother taught him from a young age that simply being himself and being nice to others would get him where he needed to be in life.
“One of the things that I’ve learned is that talent can get you to a lot of places. Character is what will keep you there. I love the fact that he has the character that others can see that can help them to understand that kindness goes a long way,” recalled Simeon’s mother, Kimberley Gilbert.
Chick-fil-A management says Simeon goes above and beyond to give customers an experience to remember. We’re told that he’s won employee of the month multiple times, and fans of his say he’s great at what he does.
“It’s been blowing up on TikTok. I’ve been seeing him all over. I’m glad he’s getting the recognition that he deserves,” said fan Marquince Pearsall.
Simeon says it has been a humbling experience seeing how far service with a smile can take you.
“It makes me feel great knowing that young people, and people even older are so inspired just by me being myself and just being kind to others,” Gilbert added.
One customer we saw told his mother that she has inspired her as a parent by raising such a nice young man and instilling in him that you should always be true to yourself.
Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar, the laid-back seafood restaurant franchise with 17 locations across six states, has set its sights on ...
Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar, the laid-back seafood restaurant franchise with 17 locations across six states, has set its sights on Greenville, North Carolina for continued growth. With a focus on markets that mirror existing successful markets for Shuckin’ Shack, the team is looking to grow with quality Franchise Partners.
“We really want to continue to open healthy restaurants with good people, and Greenville is a great market for us to do this in,” said CEO Jonathan Weathington. “There’s a very large, public university. It’s not far from our headquarters, and we already have a location in Rocky Mount, NC that does well, so that boosts our brand awareness in the area, too.”
With a population of over 91,000, the Greenville market is steadily growing and continues to be a hub for major industries. In addition to the tens of thousands of health care, education, and retail trade jobs in the market, Greenville is a hot spot for East Carolina University’s student population and consistent tourist traffic.
Greenville has a cost of living over 14% below the national average, making it a more affordable market. But with a median household income of over $50,500 and an average household income of over $70,600, people in the Greenville community are financially stable with the funds for discretionary spending — another positive marker for restaurant growth.
In addition to the market’s overall strength, it’s an attractive environment for a seafood franchise, specifically. Seafood is the fifth most common restaurant cuisine in Greenville, indicating a clear affinity for the food, but there is still plenty of capacity in the community for growth. With 26 seafood establishments currently serving the market, there is still unmet demand, and Shuckin’ Shack can stand out even further with its unique experience.
While great food and beverages certainly set Shuckin’ Shack apart, the relaxed, social environment and truly localized approach Shuckin’ Shack Franchise Partners bring to their markets serve to elevate the brand even further.
“Shuckin’ Shack is steeped in coastal culture, making us a great fit for markets that have strong ties to seafood and the coastal way of life,” Weathington said. “And even in markets where there are existing seafood establishments, Shuckin’ Shack’s customization allows us to become a space where members of the community truly want to be. They feel a part of the family, and they’re excited to come spend time with us.”
Rather than opening an oyster bar in their markets, Shuckin’ Shack Franchise Partners open and nurture an establishment that can become the oyster bar in the town. The place to go to feel welcome, cared for and connected with fellow community members.

As she prepares to participate in East Carolina University commencement later this week, however, there is full conviction in Hudson’s passion for being a spring class of 2025 graduate.
“I am proud of myself,” she said. “I will admit that to anybody and everybody. I’m not one to let anything stop me from what I want to accomplish. I go all-in and try to defeat all odds.”
Hudson is graduating in recreational therapy in the College of Health and Human Performance.
The Greenville native and 20-year-old has used a wheelchair since back surgery July 1, 2024, but that hasn’t stopped her drive or ability to be an active member of the recreational therapy program, ECU student body and in the community.
She is on the executive board of the ECU recreational therapy student society. When she was a student at D.H. Conley High School she was a standout and national first-place competition winner in DECA, a high school and college student organization promoting marketing, leadership and career development, and helped track substitution patterns for the school’s volleyball team. Hudson still assists with those activities at Conley.

She also volunteers at the Cypress Glen Retirement Community.
“I love the people there and we do all kinds of activities,” Hudson said. “I like to always be doing something. There have been a lot of opportunities to grow and excel as a student in the recreational therapy program. It’s really exciting.”
Hudson will soon begin a 14-week internship at ECU Health in pediatric inpatient rehabilitation.
“After that is done, I will sit for my certification and license exam to become a recreational therapist and then hopefully will find a job somewhere,” said Hudson, who transferred to ECU from Pitt Community College.
Whether at the Belk Building, which is home to the Department of Recreation Sciences and Hudson’s favorite place on campus, or on main campus, Hudson is often accompanied by a friend to share conversations and smiles.
She said her experience at ECU has been boosted by friendships gained and memories made with friends. She is grateful for them and faculty and staff who have supported her in her Pirate journey to accomplishing various goals.
“It’s been an awesome experience, and I really appreciate the people in my classes for looking out for me and just being there for me to help me out these days,” Hudson said. “I told myself that I always wanted to be a Pirate one day, and here I am graduating. It’s amazing all the different opportunities and the wide variety you have available here at ECU. It’s exciting and I’m accomplishing some of my hopes and dreams. It’s an exciting time.”

Despite recession fears and falling consumer confidence, the job market in the United States has remained relatively stable in 2025 thus far. According to May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics data, around 177,000 new jobs were added in April, a slight decrease from the 185,000 new jobs added in the month before, but an extension of the country's 52-month streak of job growth. Unemployment rates also held relatively steady between April 2024 and April 2025, coming in at around 4%.
Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean Americans have it easy in the workplace. A December 2024 Payscale report found that nearly half (47%) of business organizations struggle to balance fair pay practices with spend optimization, and 18% plan to reduce pay increases in 2025 as a result.
For context, median weekly earnings across all employees in the U.S. stood at $1,194 in the first quarter of 2025. This represents an increase of 4.8% from a year prior and exceeds the Consumer Price Index's 2.7% increase in the same time period. However, there's one caveat: Earnings go much further in some places than in others.
In fact, the very definition of a "high-paying" job varies by location, as well as other factors such as industry and benefits. Even a six-figure salary may be considered low-income in places with an unusually high cost of living. Meanwhile, technology, finance, and health care jobs lead in terms of salary, but benefits like remote work can make other lower-paying jobs more desirable.
Regardless, anyone seeking a high-paying job should start by looking at the numbers. Stacker used BLS data to find the 50 highest-paying jobs in Greenville. Jobs are ranked by their median annual pay as of May 2024, so any jobs without annual compensation figures available were excluded from this analysis.

GREENVILLE, N.C. — For over a century, the North Carolina League of Municipalities has hosted an annual meeting to provide town and city leaders a platform to collaborate and innovate for community growth. This year's event, CityVision, took place in Greenville, offering leaders from across the state the opportunity to engage in workshops and discussions.
Mark-Anthony Middleton, Durham Mayor Pro-Tempore and President of the North Carolina League of Municipalities, emphasized the importance of the event. "It’s important to get out of your own echo chambers sometimes and CityVision is about bringing leaders from all over the state to learn together, to encourage one another," he said.
Blowing Rock Councilwoman Cat Perry highlighted the value of the gathering. "It’s great to hear what other towns are experiencing that may be similar to what Blowing Rock is, but also very different and it widens our perspective, so we don’t have such tunnel vision," she said.
The conference features visits from notable figures, including North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson and Governor Josh Stein. Stein expressed his gratitude, saying, "I’m grateful for what you do in your communities, and what you do to help your people and their cities and towns, is what helps this state be everything it can be."
Greenville, selected as this year's host city, is seizing the opportunity to boost tourism and showcase its growth. "It’s a great opportunity to showcase the growth and really how we’re planning our city to grow," said a Greenville leader. Another added, "That’s invaluable to be able to show others from across the state, that hey you think you know Greenville, but you have no idea about all the great things that are happening here."
Middleton says he hopes attendees take away that "when we listen to each other, you’d be surprised how much you don’t know, and how much you can learn. We're all North Carolinians. We're all blessed to live in the greatest state in the union."
