I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your staff for all of your hard work and dedication to their clients. When my parents finally realized they needed help in their home, I chose ABC as the company I felt would be the best fit. Yes, we have had some ups and down, but when you paired Leah with my parents, it was truly a blessing. My parents love her. She genuinely cares for them and they speak highly of her work ethic. As my mom says, “she is too good to be true”. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your working with me to find the right fit. Well on our end, Leah fits like a glove and I hope she feels the same. She is a special person so I wanted to acknowledge her hard work and dedication to my parents. It makes me feel more at ease knowing there is someone coming to the home to properly care for them. Again I want to thank you all and encourage you to keep up the good work.

My dad’s caregiver is great. He is a man of few words, but she is able to get him talking about all aspects and experiences of his life. They go out regularly and she encourages my dad to participate in the activities put on by the community he lives in. They run errands, go out for meals, or go for a drive just to get a change of scenery. I was nervous at first about how my dad would take having a caregiver come in to help him, but he seems so happy and has great things to talk about after his time spent with his caregiver.

I hired Always Best Care to help my mom who was living with me at home. She was diagnosed with dementia and within 3 months she could hardly do much for herself anymore. I was able to continue working full time while my mom received care from Always Best Care. We had the same caregiver from day 1 and she was absolutely amazing. She kept everyone in the loop with any changes my mom experienced and the regular in person and phone check ins were a great added support to myself and my family. Thank you ABC for all the help and compassion that you showed my mom until her passing.

My husband had care from Always Best Care until he passed away. Thankfully he is on his "next journey" and finally pain free, while he was here with us, his caregiver, Craig, did an amazing job caring for him and was here to help us from our first day of services. Craig always managed to get my husband to share stories from his time in the war that even I had not heard before. It was a great way to get to know more of my husband so his memory can continue with others around him.

“I want to give a huge thank you for the care that Always Best Care provided over the last year and a half. They started out assisting just my dad since he was wheelchair bound and then began providing care to my mom as well who had advanced dementia. The two ladies that helped them both did an amazing job and gave me the confidence that they were being well cared for since I live on the other side of the country. Up to my dad’s passing, his caregivers were there for him to provide comfort and companionship while managing my mom’s emotions as well during the difficult time my dad had. Being a nurse myself and in the healthcare field for a while, I had high expectations which were exceeded by the caregivers and office staff of Always Best Care.

We have been using the services of ABC for almost three years, and I have worked personally with John, Kristine, Taylor, Michelle and Wilda, as well as the many wonderful caregivers who have attended to my mother’s needs with great care and attention. Throughout this time, my mother’s care needs have changed many times, and they have always been very responsive to any requests, including the directives of the hospice nurses that work in concert with all of them. Taylor and Michelle are incredibly diligent about keeping on top of issues that arise day-to-day, and running their questions and concerns by me. I remain a loyal customer to ABC because I feel that my mother is getting really great care, and will continue to see the warm, friendly faces she has come to know and trust today and every day. At 94 yrs old, my mother is quite dependent on the care providers for almost all her needs, and they always show up and make her feel safe and secure.

Always Best Care has done a fantastic job in providing us with at-home care for my step-mother while we prepared for her transition to move permanently to a skilled nursing facility. With their help, she was able to spend a full six months at home before moving. We would not have been able to do it without them. All the caregivers we have met and used have been kind and attentive, frequently going the extra mile, whatever that may be on any given day. The office staff is friendly, empathetic and very diligent in keeping all parties informed of all aspects of day-to-day care. They are knowledgeable, respectful and efficient. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone who is looking for help in keeping their loved one at home for as long as possible.

I want to first, thank you for your care and concern, not to mention your kindness and empathy. As a nurse and a caregiver, I understand how important it is to have both an emotional support system and a way to tap into the resources available to patients and their families. I appreciate your efforts, your time, your knowledge, and your expertise. It goes without saying that this is an emotional time, but having a direction to go in is essential. With your help and with Kristine's guidance, I feel that our family was able to arrive at a decision that makes everyone as happy as possible under the circumstances. My dad will most likely be discharged to rehab either tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. They are still trying to stabilize his blood pressure. I am grateful to you for your follow up phone calls as well as for reaching out to me initially...even offering to meet over the weekend. You clearly provide a much needed service to the community. I am going to hold on to your phone number and email for now as we may continue to have questions as we proceed. Again, thank you. You are a true blessing as you were able to provide me and my family with support when I was most in need of advice.

I appreciate that they are dependable. The call at intervals to make sure that everything is going alright. They make a home visit to make sure my mom is alright. I like that they keep in contact with us. They are consistent at working with the elderly. They follow her routine. They write down notes, or they will call if there is any problem. The caregivers show compassion in some of the little things that they do. They will fix her hair or nails. They were very kind to my mother when my father passed away. They let my mother speak about how she was feeling. I am confident in the office staff because any time there has been any problem, I can call up and they will instantly correct whatever it is. Problems don't happen very often. Once they thought my mother was a little confused and they called right away. The owners have been fabulous. If I ever want to speak to the owner about anything, or I have questions, then the owners always call me back within minutes and take care of it. They are doing a great job!
