Dear Friend, I'm sharing this reference in hopes that it provides comfort to other families who seek caring, attentive, loving and flexible care for their aging loved ones. My mother/family has been one of your clients for a number of years and I know ABC's values and capabilities extremely well. For families who are navigating the journey of elder care, who are facing uncertainty and who are looking for a trusted, reliable team who will care for clients like family (if not better), there is no better team than the wonderful folks at ABC. We've been working with David, Kathy and the team for several years and they have exceeded our hopes. Sure, they are on time, professional, safe and courteous. Even more, they are thoughtful, kind and caring. True problem solvers, they provide comfort knowing that my mom is in terrific hands. Even more, they anticipate challenges and solve problems before they are needed. I'm sharing this info because I know how daunting and, indeed, paralyzing, searching for an agency can be. From the first call, ABC did it right. They listened rather than sold. They personalized it, so we found the right care for my mother. They did nothing less than treat my mom the way they would want their own mother's to be treated. Please feel free to give my information to any other families who are navigating elder care. I've learned a lot during the process and one of the most important things I learned is: trust ABC. Best wishes,

I wanted to thank you all for the years of care you gave to both my mom and my dad. I’m sure there were some difficult moments, but we had confidence and trust that in you to give my parents, especially my dad, the compassion and care that was required. My dad enjoyed the company on his caregivers and it allowed all of us to be secure in knowing he was well taken care of. We felt relief and comfort when we had to leave, knowing that he was in good hands. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart – thank you.Thank you for always being there, and still being there to help whenever you can. Thank you on behalf of our family for everything you have done for us.

I can't say enough positive things about Always Best Care, the owner David, the RN Beth and the wonderful home health aides who have been helping my parents over the last number of weeks. My mom came home from rehab after surviving COVID and was still very weak and on oxygen. David was phenomenally responsive to my initial email (at 9:00 at night!) and arranged to come to the house on a weekend to meet my parents and get them started. The nurse, Beth, accompanied both home health aides on their first day to make sure they were on-boarded with exactly what we needed. She listened to us, she remembered every thing we told her, and she volunteered to pick up meds for us at the pharmacy. The aides (Susan and Josephine) have been lovely - attentive, thoughtful, gentle, observant, and have helped with everything from bathing to laundry to lunches and dishes to sorting endless piles of paper for filing. I'm so grateful to all of them for easing my mom's transition home and taking the burden off my dad (who's 86). We may not need them much longer, but they were lifesavers.

We have been using the services of Always Best Care for about two years now. The two persons who came every morning and thrice a week at night were very good. Their personality were caring, warm and they brought the best out from my husband. The one man that came two nights a week was alright but his personality was not that good. He does what he needed to do but he did not bring out the best of my husband. However, the rate is expensive nowadays, I wish they would lower it.

I just wanted to send you a note to let you know that I am extremely satisfied with the services your agency has provided to our family. Always Best Care was very helpful and patient in assisting me through the whole elder-care process. More importantly, they sent us Diana as a caregiver who, I must say, was truly amazing in the level of care she provided my father. He improved dramatically under her care and she greatly eased the strain we all felt trying to take care of him ourselves. She went above and beyond the call of duty in taking care of my father and she did it all with a pleasant disposition which is such a positive when dealing with psychologically difficult circumstances.

David Robinson helped me and my sister with our mother's gradual and sometimes-difficult transition from her townhouse to independent living, and later into assisted living. David spent a lot of time getting to know all of us, and then most importantly in making our mother feel comfortable with this intense process. His knowledge about and connections with people/facilities is vast and savvy. I think for most people, there is not much of a way to be prepared for this and the overwhelming anxiety it brings, especially when time can be of the essence. David and his staff were sensitive to all that, which made us, especially our mother, feel much more at ease. Even now that our mother is settled (and we don't need his services at the moment), she still feels she can rely on his friendly support and advice, should anything come up. That sense of security is priceless.

I’m beyond grateful for the help and expertise Melanie Carvalho provided over the past year, which was hands down the most challenging of the 15 years I’ve cared for Mom. From her skilled and patient direct care… to her very perceptive and objective take on many aspects of my mom’s situation, including our family’s complex dynamics… to spot-on referrals for additional support and services… I couldn’t have come through without her. Melanie’s warm, outgoing style informed all her efforts and immediately put everyone at ease, most importantly my mother. She became a strong advocate and backbone for both me and Mom, and a skilled negotiator when it came to dealing with conflicting family influences. Her direct, no-nonsense approach was perfectly balanced by sensitivity and diplomacy. In many respects, I consider Melanie an integral part of the family who shared my goal of providing nothing but optimal care and support for Mom. I highly recommend her and Always Best Care, without hesitation.
