TESTIMONIALS

“I could not be happier with this service. I schedule care in 15 minute or 30 minute visits for 6 visits a day. They make sure that my 96 year old mother takes her meds, walks to meals, they deliver her meals when she is too tired to walk, they water her plants, bathe her, they will help in anyway to provide the best care. Shawn Cothran, the owner, made a personal visit to her room to make sure she had all that she needs. The caregivers; Vera, Jackie, Toni, Elizabeth and many others could not be better. I highly recommend this service.”

“ABC caregivers took care of my 93 yr old father from when he came out of the hospital until he passed away 8 months later. The nurse was very fast and efficient and met us at his residence when we arrived from the hospital. Many caregivers were so sweet and careful with him and were helpful to my mother as well. He would be happy to see their smiling faces. They were also very accommodating for schedule and other changes. I would highly recommend them!”

“Oh my goodness! I was at the very bottom of my rope with no where to turn. Almost overnight, my mom went from being totally independent to needing assisted living, and I didn’t know where or how to even start. The hospital was breathing down my neck to get her out of there, and I had nowhere to take her. I couldn’t provide the care she needed at home. Then a friend sent me a copy of Shawn Cothran’s business card. She said he could help. Shawn called me when I was at my lowest point. He offered me hope with the possibility of placement the same day or next for my mom. By that afternoon, we had signed a contract and placed a bed in mom’s new home. The next day, she moved in to a very nice, beautiful and caring community. I will be forever grateful to Always Best Care Senior Services and Shawn!!”

Josie and Rhonda have been very caring and therapeutic with their daily interactions, and are helping our family member live best most independent life in own home as possible.

During a very, very difficult time, she was really there for me, i never felt like i was only a client. Paige went above and beyond to help me during this time. I can not recommend Always Best Care highly enough. So grateful for having them in my corner.”

TESTIMONIALS

“My mom was diagnosed with dementia more than 4 years ago. She functioned well at first but as time went on, she needed some help. She was still living in her home and had the ladies of Always Best Care there twice a day to get her out of the house or to help with reminders or daily living. Once it became clear that she needed more assistance, I moved mom to an assisted living facility where she had a small apartment and could still be independent. That move happened almost two years ago. I kept my sweet ABC ladies and they still come in for a few hours to keep mom active. Over the last two years, I have seen many of the sweet older people at the assisted living facility pass on or move to memory care. My mom has sat with 8 ladies at the same table for most of the time she has been there. Mom and one other lady are the only two who are still in assisted living. I credit that with mom’s tenacious spirit and the sweet ladies with ABC. They have mom knitting, exercising, walking, working puzzles and playing the piano. All of the ladies have made a huge difference in mom’s life. Now, the sweet ladies include the ladies behind the scenes at ABC. Stephanie has always been an ear for me and supportive of my care plan for mom. Hannah, and now Toni, always act quickly for me when I need a change in schedule or need more help. Toni is encouraging and very easy to work with. I cannot thank ABC enough in all that they do for me and my mom.”

FAQs About Our Senior Care Services

Female-Caregiver-Mobile Female-Caregiver-Desktop

Senior care services are for people who need ongoing assistance that cannot easily be provided by their family or friends. Studies show older adults prefer to live independent, non-institutionalized lives, and in-home care is a safe, effective way to provide care in the comfort of one’s own home.

The answer depends on the type of care, the location of care and the level of care that is needed. At Always Best Care, we provide a no obligation care consultation and provide information on many options for paying for home care for you and your loved one.

Our company vision is to work as a united team providing the best senior care in the world, with the broadest range of services, and the most loving and consistent care anywhere. We are dedicated to exceeding your expectations…always

Your Care Coordinator will work with you and your loved one to select the best qualified caregiver for each client. They will carefully review your care plan and try to match the right caregiver with the specific needs of each client. It is our goal and your right to make sure that you and your loved one are completely satisfied with our service and we will bend over backwards to make this happen.

Every Always Best Care location employs all their caregivers, so extensive background and reference checks are conducted. Caregivers are insured for your safety and they all receive extensive training upon being hired and on-going training to keep up with the demand of our industry. What this means for you is that you or your loved one will receive some of the best caregivers our industry has to offer.

The time frame to begin care for a senior will depend on the urgency of the need for the person and family that will be receiving care. That could mean care could start within hours, days or weeks, depending on your needs.

How people pay for senior care depends on their financial situation and the kinds of services they receive. Often, people must rely on a variety of payment sources, including personal funds, government programs, and private financing options.

Traditional Medicare does not pay for 24-hour-a-day care at your home, meals delivered to your home, homemaker services like shopping, cleaning, and laundry that aren’t related to your care plan, custodial, or personal care that helps you with daily living activities like bathing, dressing, or using the bathroom, when this is the only care that is needed.

Home-based care is part of the VA Medical Benefits. All veterans are eligible if they meet the clinical need and it is available.
